Murad The Science of Healthy Skin: Lift + Resculpt With Retinal Set of 2

Benefits of The Science of Healthy Skin: Lift + Resculpt With Retinal

• Visibly lifts neck/jowl sagging and smooths deep-set wrinkles after 2 weeks. 
• Boosts skin elasticity in 4 weeks. 
• Delivers 2.5 × the efficacy of free retinal via encapsulation. 

What you'll notice:

• Skin contour appears firmer and lifted.
• Deep lines look smoother and crepey texture softens.
• Eye area appears more rejuvenated, lids firmer and folds less visible.

Clinical Results:

• After 2 weeks: visible lift of neck/jowl sagging, smoother deep-set wrinkles. 
• After 4 weeks: increased skin elasticity.
• Independent ex-vivo study: encapsulated retinal demonstrated up to 2.5× efficacy vs free retinal. 

Study details: 8-week clinical study with 34 participants (Murad internal), independent ex-vivo study comparing delivery systems. 

How To Use The Science of Healthy Skin: Lift + Resculpt With Retinal

1. Evening: After cleansing and drying, apply a thin layer of Retinal ReSculpt Overnight Treatment to face and neck. 
2. Then, apply Retinal ReSculpt Eye Lift Treatment around the orbital bone, focusing on lids and folds; avoid lash line. 
3. Use nightly. If skin is new to retinal, introduce 3–4 nights/week and build to nightly use as tolerated. Always apply broad-spectrum SPF in the morning.

Pro Tip (from estheticians): On nights when using this set, skip other strong actives (e.g., high-strength acids) to minimize irritation and maximize retinal efficacy.

FAQs

Can I use this while pregnant or nursing?
The brand does not publish specific guidance for pregnancy or nursing; users of vitamin A/retinoids should consult their physician before use.

Can I use this with other retinol/acid exfoliants?
As these formulas contain retinal (a potent vitamin A derivative), layering additional strong actives (like harsh acids) may increase irritation—alternate nights or reduce use in combination.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
While formulated with encapsulation to help tolerance, users with very sensitive skin should patch test and may need to build up usage gradually (3–4 nights/week initially).

How long until I see results?
In a clinical study, visible lift and smoother deep wrinkles were seen in 2 weeks; increased elasticity observed at 4 weeks. 

Can I use it around the eyes?
Yes—the Eye Lift Treatment is specifically designed for the orbital area; apply carefully around lash line as indicated in directions.

Storage and shelf life?
Store at room temperature. Refer to package for period-after-opening (PAO) symbol.

People Also Ask

Is The Science of Healthy Skin: Lift + Resculpt With Retinal good for acne-prone skin?
While this set is focused on lifting and firming, retinal can also help cell turnover which may benefit acne-prone skin—always patch test when combining concerns.

Can you use The Science of Healthy Skin: Lift + Resculpt With Retinal every night?
Yes—nightly use is recommended once tolerance is established; if you’re new to clinical-level vitamin A, start 3–4 nights/week and build to nightly. 

Does The Science of Healthy Skin: Lift + Resculpt With Retinal work under makeup?
Yes—the Overnight Treatment has a cream texture designed to follow cleansing and be followed by your normal moisturizer (optional) and your morning SPF; use at night.

How long does a set of The Science of Healthy Skin: Lift + Resculpt With Retinal last?
Usage varies; because this is a trial-size set, if used nightly, the Overnight tube and Eye treatment may last approximately 2–4 weeks depending on amount used.

Is The Science of Healthy Skin: Lift + Resculpt With Retinal fragrance-free / oil-free?
The formulas include fragrance (parfum) and contain shea butter and other emollients; not strictly oil-free; check full INCI above if you have concerns about fragrance or oils.
