Reviews

Gentle but effective

"Super gentle on my sensitive skin but still does what it says. Noticeable difference."

— Grace (5/5)

A Glycolic Acid Treatment I can Tolerate

"I have had problems using glycolic acid because it's such a strong AHA. I have much better tolerance for the larger molecules like Lactic and Mandelic acid, but want to take advantage of glycolic's benefits. Murad's Gentle Glycolic Acid Resurfacing Serum has been a game-changer, and exactly what I was looking for. It's gentle, soothing, and leaves my skin radiant. I really appreciate being able to subscribe to refills which keeps it delivered regularly at a great price. Thanks to this product, I'm now tolerating a daily glycolic treatment without irritation."

— Brian H. (5/5)

Soothing for my sensitive dry skin

"Amazing, mild and soothing. Would recommend it and will buy again."

— Sharon H. (5/5)

Recommend

"I bought this for my dry, sensitive skin and it works really great. It is nice and light. My face doesn’t feel oily or like I lathered any super heavy on my face. It feels smooth and moisturizing."

— Nik (5/5)

Amazing!!!

"Removers did skin gently without any burning or stripping. Recommend 10/10"

— Emelina M. (5/5)

Obsessed with this serum!

"This serum has become my favourite step in my routine! I love the light milky consistency and it feels instantly calming on my sensitive skin. It’s helped to reduce my redness and my skin feels smoother. I’ve noticed that I’m getting less flare ups since using this range."

— Jessica R. (5/5)

Murad magic strikes again

"This product has transformed my (usually) red face into an oasis of calm. After three weeks of consistent use (once a day in the evening), my skin is clearer, calmer and considerably more radiant. I have actually left the house sans makeup! Imagine that. See ya, rosacea! Other pleasing benefits include the lack of fragrance, quick absorbency (important when you live in 'Frizzbane') and lightweight feel on the skin. The exfoliation is gentle yet effective and did not upset my sensitive cheeks. I would 100% recommend this product. Add to cart! Note: I used this serum every day for three weeks. This review forms part of a trial of Murad's Heartleaf Sensitive range that included the face and body cleanser and moisturiser."

— Micaela (5/5)

Redness is gone! Rosacea is cured!?

"I didn't think my skin was particularly sensitive but I do have a lot of redness and rosacea. This serum has been a game-changer! I love it. Use it every day and night and have noticed an incredible difference. I see the images from other reviewers and wish I had taken a before shot to show because my results are so so so good! I noticed results from the first use and it just gets better!"

— Emma (5/5)

Amazing Serum - highly recommend for sensitive ski

"Always nervous to use a serum from past experiences, but there was absolutely no tingly sensations or blotchy red spots. I have loved applying this to my skin and feel like it really softens my skin. This is a must in the skin routine now day and night. Love it."

— Tam (5/5)

Redness Gone, Skin Glowing!

"I was a little nervous about using a glycolic acid serum because sometimes my skin can’t handle exfoliating products, but WOW—I’m so glad I gave this one a try! The milky consistency is so soothing and hydrating—it feels like a treat for my skin. I’ve been using it for a bit now, and not only has it gently exfoliated, but it’s also helped calm the redness on my face! My skin feels stronger, smoother, and less irritated overall. If you’ve got sensitive skin like mine and want the benefits of exfoliation without the irritation, this serum is a total win."

— Kristen (5/5)
