Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "Murad - Multi-Vitamin Infusion Oil" works well for improving skin hydration

Ingredient callouts

  • this moisturizer includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl propionate 0.55% - 1.30%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
  • Salicylic acid (0.35% - 0.80%) in this product will have an exfoliating effect and help smooth the skin. We, however, do not recommend using a moisturizer with Salicylic Acid daily to avoid over-exfoliating.
  • We love that there is also Linoleic Acid in this moisturizer (0.60% - 1.40%). Linoleic Acid is one of the skin's natural emollients. It supports the skin barrier and can even help reduce clogged pores.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: vitamin e and tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate
