How To Use Murad Serum Starter Set - Set of 3

1. After cleansing and toning, apply one serum (retinol, dark spot, or barrier repair) to face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
2. Allow to absorb, then follow with moisturizer; apply sunscreen in the morning.
3. Use daily. Introduce retinol gradually at night if you’re new to retinoids; use the dark-spot serum once or twice daily; use the barrier serum as needed for hydration/barrier support.

Pro Tip (from estheticians): Try serums on alternate days or cycles (e.g., retinol at night, dark-spot serum in the morning, barrier serum whenever skin feels tight) to pinpoint what your skin responds to best.

FAQs

Can I use this while pregnant or nursing?
The brand does not provide universal guidance across the three formulas. Please consult your physician before use during pregnancy or nursing.

Can I use this with retinol/retinal/acid exfoliants?
The retinol serum is a retinoid treatment; introduce gradually and avoid layering with strong acids at the same time. The dark-spot serum contains glycolic acid; pair cautiously with other exfoliants.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
All three are designed for performance; the barrier serum is especially suited for dryness/tightness. Patch test if you have reactive skin.

How long until I see results?
Brand timelines: wrinkles and dark spots improve in 2 weeks; barrier repair begins in 30 minutes with the hydration serum.

Can I use it around the eyes?
Avoid direct contact with eyes; use eye-specific products for the eye area.

Storage and shelf life?
Store at room temperature, away from heat and direct light. Use by the PAO date on each component.
