Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream - Anti-Aging Moisturizer with Retinol Tri-Active Technology and Niacinamide Gently Fights Wrinkles and Fine Lines, Boosts Radiance and Firms Skin - 1.7 Fl Oz

It's pricey but the murad line is one of my go-tos and my skin loves their products; very effective but gentle for sensitive skin.

I am 66 years old. My skin barrier became damaged and then most everything made it sensitive. I tried numerous drug store and higher end retinol products before finding this one from Murad. I have been using it for over two years, in conjunction with their retinol serum. I could see results almost right away. I started using it slowly, to let my skin become used to it. Even with sensitive skin, I can use it with little to no irritation. I use it for three nights and then just use a moisturizer the next night, then back to using three nights again.I think it must be their three forms of retinol, including one slow-release form, which makes it tolerable for my sensitive skin. Niacinamide is included in this product, and it helps make my pores look smaller and skin more refined. I have seen smoother, less-lined skin after using this, very much worth the price. It lasts me for months, since I apply a thin layer and use it three nights on, one night off.My skin is somewhat oily, but post-menopausal, so it gets dry, plus I live in the desert. I would not say this is ultra-moisturizing, and it is not too heavy. After absorbing a minute, you can apply regular moisturizer over it, which I do if I feel it's needed. If you have dry skin, you may want to do that, since niacinamide can dry skin a bit. I still break out occasionally, but this has not clogged my pores or caused breakouts.

My face looks smoother and is a lot softer. Definitely worth the money.

I just received my prime order for this item yesterday, so this review only consists of my initial impression from a first nights use of the cream. I do have to say that I'm pretty impressed. The price is substantially lower than other premium brands, though it feels and performs just as well as brand that are two or three times its price.I've been switching back and forth between Strivectin and Algenist for years, but decided to give try a product that was a bit cheaper and I'm glad that I did. I'm not a fan of scented face products because they just tend to be overpowering. Its just hard to find things that aren't. This night cream has a very subtle scent that almost requires direct contact to be able to smell, so for a person with scent sensitivity issues, it was great from the start. Beyond that, its very light. It doesn't feel excessive like most night creams and instantly soaks in, again, unlike a lot of night creams. Who wants that greasy feeling right?So on first impression, it seems worth the money. I'll update in a week or so with additional thoughts after longer use.UPDATE: We am now on day 6 is f using this product and I am very impressed. Most brands use varying levels of puffery in ther advertisements or little blurbs in containers to encourage sales, so when I read the side of the container for this saying “...work faster and visibly minimize lines and deep wrinkles, even tone and restore suppleness”, it was something I immediately discounted. In retrospect after less than a week of use, I now whole heartedly agree with that statement. The standard wisdom is that most facial products take up to 22 days to see results, so one that has very noticeable affect in under a week is amazing.Beyond the actual benefits of the product, the pump topped container is wonderful as well. Every time you open a jar of moisturizer you expose it to air and over time that progressively dehydrates it. The push top is so nice because it keeps the product sealed inside so that doesn't happen.So I’m the end, I’ve got to say that the decision to go with a product that roughly 1/2 the cost of the previous brand I was using has turned out to be a good one.

This stuff is great. Doesn't irritate my skin like some other retinols. It goes on great, love the smell and texture and I feel like it's made a difference. I get it delivered every 4 months, which his perfect for nightly use for me.

I'm 50 and I've been using this cream for 3 years. I got it as a sample from either Birchbox or Ipsy, and after a week of using just a little bit every night, and under my eyes during the day, I noticed a remarkable difference in my skin. It looked plumper, more hydrated, and minimized the wrinkles around my eyes and between my eyebrows. It even helps the puppet lines just a tiny bit. It's very light weight and you don't need a lot for it to work. You should see results after using it regularly for 1 - 2 weeks. Well worth the $$$!!

The bottle lasted me 6 months and I use it nightly. I only used it every other night the first few months because it took my skin a little while to completely adjust to it, but I love it. It actually hydrates my skin, doesn't leave a heavy film, and makes my skin feel so smooth. I also think it is making my skin look younger/healthier.

I love all of their products! Night cream, eye cream, youth renewal day cream. Products do what they claim they can do. Price is too high though would order more often if it were less expensive.
