Erase the evidence of mid-life breakouts

DETAILS

Perimenopause is a transitional phase that typically lasts several years, during which fluctuations in estrogen and androgen levels can influence skin oil production. This can lead to excess shine or congestion—which may be brand new for your skin. Murad developed this lightweight, multisensory moisturizer to meet your skin’s changing needs in your 40s. It gently manages breakout triggers like excess sebum while rebalancing, hydrating, and soothing skin. Science-backed treatments. For skin that continues to experience change. Apply daily with confidence: the non-comedogenic formula is safe for sensitive skin.

Nice New Product

"My daughter recently tried this cream and really seems to like it. She's delt with bad acne the past few years and was hesitant to try it because she was worried about a flare up but hasn't had any any negative reactions. She said it feels lightweight on the skin and makes her skin feel smooth. She will continue to use it but it's too early to know if it's helping her scarring."

— TJ (5/5)

Love this

"I use this two or 3 times a week to let my face recover from my prescription Retin A cream. My face gets too dry and red if I use the med everyday. Murad Recover cream does exactly what it says it does. Helps my skin settle down and recover. Will continue to purchase."

Newbie!

"I am trying this out for the first time. I have been using Murad for years and I am totally sold on it. I typically use the hydration collection. I am trying this one for my rosacea and also hydration. I like the feel of it on my face. It’s too soon to see improvements but I am not experiencing any negative reactions. I will continue to keep using the cream."

— Judy (5/5)

Haven't had any breakouts since starting!

"I use orange and green Murad products on the rest of my face, but still have to use the blue acne line on my chin area. Since I have started using this new product, I have not had any new breakouts form. Additionally, this step 2 does not rub into balls under the cover up I use."
