Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream Review

 Looking for a retinol product that won't irritate but will work? Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream might be just what you're looking for.
I'm not well versed in all things Murad but I do feel like it's a brand to be trusted. I like the sort of no-thrills approach to skincare that the brand has and the fact that the products are advocated by quite a few well known skincare experts. I had heard great things about the Youth Renewal collection in particular and, always keen to trial different retinol products, went ahead and decided to try the Night Cream from the range.

The Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream promises to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, increase radiance and improve firmness all while strengthening the skin's protective barrier.
Results can be seen after as little as 4 weeks, which is pretty impressive for a retinol product.

The night cream is formulated with Retinol Tri-Active technology which involves a fast acting retinol, a time-release retinol and a retinol-booster which work together to diminish deep wrinkles and lines. Also in the mix are Niacinamide and Picolinamide to strengthen the skin's barrier.

I have been using the night cream *almost* consistently for around two months and can in fact confirm that the legends are true. This product works and it works fast.
Not only is my complexion more even with a lot less pigmentation, but my skin feels pretty great- it's smooth, firm and I swear that the lines between my outer eyes and temples are not as deep.

I use one to two pumps most nights - I say above that I've being using it almost consistently because some nights I just want something simple with ceramides and moisturising/hydrating ingredients only.
Murad say that results are optimised when using the night cream along with the Youth Renewal serum and eye cream so I'm keen to get my hands on both of those at some point. For now though, I'm pretty impressed with the results I'm seeing from using the Night Cream alone.
Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream retails for £70 for 50ml packaged in a hygienic airless press-pump. I got my jar from Space NK but it’s currently in stock at AllBeauty for £56.50. You can also find it at Look Fantastic, Feel Unique, Marksand Spencer and of course from the official Murad site. It’s also worth checking out the Youth Renewal kits that include all three products from the collection.
