Customer Reviews

SPOTS be gone! NOT so much.
I tried the MURAD AGE SPOT AND PIGMENT LIGHTENING GEL for a full three months (entire bottle), following the directions each night...although I did NOT add the ESSENTIAL C NIGHT MOISTURIZER as it suggests on the packaging. Perhaps is is the second product that makes a difference in the outcome, but using this product alone did nothing to fade my dark spots.

I am a caucasian woman in my forties and have combination skin with dark spots across the cheeks that are probably a result of years of sun damage. I faithfully wear sunscreen and have for years now, so the process seemed to have stopped. I wanted to reverse the discoloration that I was left with and hoped that a targeted "age spot and pigment lightening gel" would be just what I needed.

I have had no success myself with using the Murad lightener and can't recommend it to those with middle-age pigmented skin. I did not see any difference at all.

As above, it did suggest that it be used with a second product, and perhaps that would make a difference, but I am not going to waste any more money myself trying to find out. Too bad, since I had high hopes after seeing other success stories.

Best skin lightener without irritation
I've tried various skin lighteners out there. Even by prescription. The ones prescribed made my skin peel, burn and turn red until I had to stop using them. This product did not irritate my skin at all and I saw results in the first few weeks. I have sun spots (darkened patches of skin) from birth control. Even after I went off, the spots did not go away. Once I got pregnant, I got a lot of little clusters all around my checks and forehead. I don't think any product will fully rid of every mark on my skin. However, this product significantly faded them and with a little make-up made them a lot less apparent. Overall my skin just looks fresher and brighter. The best product I have found over the counter.

I just don't get it
Tried this product using religiously for 2 months...no noticeable change in any spots. Be sure you are in it for the long haul if you purchase. I give up
