How To Use Murad Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum

1. Use AM and PM: After cleansing, apply an even layer over face, neck and chest.
2. Follow with your moisturizer; during the day, always apply broad-spectrum SPF.

Pro Tip (from estheticians): Introduce slowly—start once a day for the first week, then build to twice-daily. Always layer SPF during daytime to protect newly resurfaced skin.
