The Upcoming’s top five from Murad

When it came to deciding upon our five favourite products form Murad, us beauty junkies at The Upcoming certainly struggled! We are long-term devotees to Murad’s entire range.

Murad’s products are concern-focused and treatment-based; you can mix and match between the ranges, meaning you don’t have to prioritise your complexion concerns.

What we particularly love about Murad is their anti-ageing range. Not only do they offer the latest free radical busting cocktail of anti-ageing ingredients, but also there’s the option to combine this with oil regulators and willow bark extracts that fight blemishes, because spots (unfortunately) aren’t just for teenagers.

After many hours spent scrutinising their delightful range, we managed the task and here are our ultimate favourite five:

AHA & BHA exfoliating cleanser (£34)

This is a treatment-based product, designed to be an addition to your existing skincare routine. Use twice a week post-cleanse, to fight ageing, resurface, exfoliate and encourage the rate at which our skin cells renew themselves. With glycolic acid to resurface and pomegranate extract to deliver an antioxidant boost, this promises to reveal smooth, youthful and hydrated skin.

Essential-C day moisture SPF 30 (£57)

This is one of Fearne Cotton’s desert island essentials. So if like us, you’d love to look just half as fabulous as Fearne, then treat yourself to her secret weapon. Savvy beauty junkies know when it comes to ageing, prevention is always better than cure. We love that Murad doesn’t compromise on the texture or level of antioxidants contained within this product, just because it’s an SPF. So we really can have it all!

Energising pomegranate lip protector (£13)

This contains an SPF 15 and has a slight pink hue – a handbag essential! Think school run, dog walk or even desk to dinner. Not only does this work wonders on dry, dehydrated lips, but it also treats them with the most high-tech blend of anti-ageing ingredients.

Razor burn rescue (£35)

This is not one just for the guys. Kiss goodbye to those unsightly bumps and redness left by razor burn or ingrown hairs. Razor burn rescue clears the hairs follicles of all bacteria that could lead to blemishes. Murad are so confident of this product’s abilities that they offer a 30-day money back guarantee if you’re not 100% satisfied. So ladies start now: prep your legs for holiday season if you desire killer beach-ready pins, and guys this product needs to go straight to the top of your shopping list.

Hybrid eye lift illuminator (£27)

Because no “it” girl should be without her secret weapon! Giving the impression of a beautifully rested eight hours sleep, when the reality is often far from it! Shh, we won’t tell, and this little beauty certainly won’t give the game away. With instant and long-term dark circle reduction, lifting and illuminating at the same time, what more could we ask for, except perhaps caffeine.

Waste no time and hot-foot it straight over to Murad. Their vast range of products will not leave you disappointed. If you’ve got a skincare concern, the one place we can guarantee you’ll find a solution for it is Murad!
