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.
3. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency and ensure you use daily sun protection.

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.

FAQs

Can I use this while pregnant or nursing?
