Enriched with 15% Vitamin C serum, this fast absorbing formula revives your complexion and helps brighten and firm skin all day. Vitamin C is a natural collagen booster that in turn improves your skin’s elasticity, texture, and quality making it look tight and young. Indulge in the sweet, citrus aroma and lightweight gel texture that glides effortlessly onto skin for a glowing, more even complexion. As is quite common among luxury brands, Murad doesn’t market its products with percentages (the same goes for its retinol products), so there’s no precise way of knowing how it compares to the No7 vitamin C content beyond its effects. Vitamin C does sit slightly lower in the list of ingredients than it does in the No7 formulation (the lower down the list it is, the less of an ingredient is included), but given that there are far more ingredients in the Murad formula, this isn’t surprising. The vitamin C here is ascorbic acid – sometimes called L-ascorbic acid – and is the form that has the most skincare-related research behind it. In a first for the skincare market, Murad has stabilised this with actual gold. While we can’t speak to how effective this actually is in preserving potency, we do enjoy seeing an ingredient list that simply includes “gold”. Willow bark extract provides gentle exfoliation for more radiant skin, helps reduce acne and excess oil as well as signs of ageing and the appearance of wrinkles. The extras are where the Murad formula moves above the No7. It includes glycolic acid, an exfoliating alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that sloughs away dead skin cells, giving a more luminous complexion, smoothing out texture and allowing the vitamin C to penetrate more effectively. It also contains hydrating, buffering ingredients, making the serum more comfortable on the skin and minimising any irritation (we personally didn’t experience any). The old classics glycerin and hyaluronic acid do the job here. It also contains urea (yes it’s a component of urine, but don’t worry, a synthetic version is used in skincare), which binds water to the skin and can also improve the absorption of other ingredients. Finally, the formula includes a “phyto-luminescent extract”, which supposedly transforms UV into a light source, making skin more luminous. Citric Acid - works by exfoliating the upper layer of dead skin cells to help clean pores, even skin tone and soften and smooth the skin.

The results are very similar to that of the No7 serum. Skin is noticeably brightened, areas of discolouration reduced and it feels plumper and more bouncy.
