Renew Your Skin: Explore Murad's Best Retinol Serums

If you're new to retinol, it's best to introduce it gradually to allow your skin time to adjust. Start by applying your retinol serum two to three evenings per week, then gradually increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance.

Retinol is best applied after cleansing and before moisturiser. During perimenopause and menopause, when skin may be drier or more sensitive, pairing retinol with a hydrating moisturiser can help improve comfort while supporting visible improvements in skin texture and firmness.

Yes, retinol can be used alongside vitamin C and other active ingredients, but how you combine them depends on your skin type, tolerance and the products you're using.

Many people use vitamin C in the morning for antioxidant protection and retinol in the evening to support skin renewal. Retinol also pairs well with hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and barrier-supporting ingredients like ceramides. Introduce active ingredients gradually and always wear SPF during the day.

Retinol can cause temporary dryness, flaking, mild redness or purging when you first begin using it, although not everyone experiences these effects. Introducing retinol gradually and using a moisturiser can help minimise irritation while your skin adjusts.

During perimenopause and menopause, when skin may already be drier, supporting the skin barrier with hydrating skincare can help improve comfort. If irritation persists, reduce how often you apply retinol and follow the product directions.

Murad retinol products help support skin renewal, improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture and dullness. With consistent use, they help promote smoother, firmer and more radiant-looking skin

Retinol is widely recommended during menopause because it helps address several hormonal skin concerns at once. As skin becomes drier, less firm and more prone to fine lines and uneven texture, retinol supports skin renewal while improving the appearance of smoother, healthier-looking skin. Introducing retinol gradually and using a moisturiser and daily SPF can help maximise results while maintaining skin comfort
