Behind the Scenes: Sleep Tight with Murad - Dreamy Staycation for the Launch of Retinal ReSculpt Overnight Cream

Imagine a night where time slows, the world quiets, and your skin enters a realm of transformation. That’s exactly the spirit we embraced when we welcomed a curated gathering of media and influencers for the dreamy staycation launch of Murad’s new Retinal ReSculpt Overnight Cream at the Eve Hotel in Sydney.

As each guest stepped through the hotel lobby, there was an instant sense of ritual. Soft lighting, the subtle scent of calming botanicals in the air — everything whispered rest.

Once in their rooms, guests discovered an enchanting surprise: plush robes, curated skincare gifts, and an invitation to drift into an evening designed entirely for renewal.

A bespoke “Sleep Tight with Murad” treatment awaited - drawing on Murad’s signature Dual-Phase Power Peel, a comforting cream mask, and a serene jade acupressure ritual, the experience was designed to prepare the body and mind for deep rest, while the skin did its transformative work behind the scenes.

 

As the city’s lights dimmed, this ritual whispered: It’s time to switch off — let your skin switch on.

 

Guests awoke to beautifully glowing, well-rested skin. In the light-filled breakfast lounge at Bar Julius, they joined Murad’s team and fellow guests to gather, share, and learn.

 

Emma Hindmarsh Conan, General Manager of Murad Australia, spoke with passion about the alchemy behind Retinal ReSculpt Overnight Cream.

Murad's New Retinal ReSculpt Overnight Cream is a Dream come true: It visibly lifts, firms and re-volumizes facial contours in 4 weeks powered by encapsulated retinal and NAD+ Lift Complex:

 

Emma explained in detail what makes the New Retinal ReSculpt Overnight Cream so special:

 

Encapsulated retinal technology delivers potent vitamin A (2.5x more*) deeper into skin with minimised irritation. NAD+ Lift Complex, inspired by longevity and cellular energy research, ignites skin’s natural overnight repair for a youthful, more lifted look. Lipid-Rich Complex floods skin with hydrators that cushion against the potential for dryness, while fueling its nighttime recovery mode. When you switch off, this overnight cream switches on to visibly improve advanced signs of ageing. 

 

Further Emma gave a deep dive into Murad's 4-Pillar approach, a holistic framework to total skin health, developed by Dr. Howard Murad, a dermatologist and founder of Murad Skincare. His approach is designed to promote overall health, youthful skin, and emotional well-being by addressing both internal and external factors. The 4 Pillars are: 1. Nourish your skin (topical skincare), by using high performance, clinically proven skincare products. 2 Eat your Water (internal skincare) - staying hydrated not just by drinking water but by eating water-rich fruits and vegetables. 3. Awaken your Body (exercise & movement) - regular physical exercise improves circulation and supports cellular renewal. And 4. Be Kind to Your mind (emotional self-care), by managing stress through mindfulness, positive thinking and self-care. 

 

The goal of the approach is to treat skin as a reflection of total body wellness. Dr. Murad believed that skincare is healthcare, and youthful, healthy skin starts from within -combining topical treatments with lifestyle choices.

 

The aim of the event was to cover all 4 pillars, to introduce the guest to the New Retinal ReSculpt Overnight Cream and to showcase Murad's clinical background.

 

Overall the Staycation was a huge success and not short of coverage.
