Not worth it!,
April 4, 2008 a customer "me" (wa) - See all my reviews
I ordered and used two bottles of this...I used it and followed directions completely, and wore a spf 30 sunscreen everyday. Did absolutely nothing for my hyperpigmentation. I finally broke down and bought Hydroquinone 4%, my pigmentation that had plagued me for 3 years had almost vanished. Please don't waste your money on this hype, if you have hyperpigmentation, just go for the hydroquinone 4 %, that cost me only $18.00 for a tube and had plenty left over, compared to $80.00 for this worthless item! I used murad for 6 months, hydroquinone for two months. I have an olive complexion, just because it's more expensive doesn't mean it's better!

Best skin lightener without irritation,

This review is from: Murad Environmental Shield Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum, 1.0 fl oz (30 ml) (Health and Beauty)
I've tried various skin lighteners out there. Even by prescription. The ones prescribed made my skin peel, burn and turn red until I had to stop using them. This product did not irritate my skin at all and I saw results in the first few weeks. I have sun spots (darkened patches of skin) from birth control. Even after I went off, the spots did not go away. Once I got pregnant, I got a lot of little clusters all around my checks and forehead. I don't think any product will fully rid of every mark on my skin. However, this product significantly faded them and with a little make-up made them a lot less apparent. Overall my skin just looks fresher and brighter. The best product I have found over the counter.

Review after two bottles,

This review is from: Murad Environmental Shield Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum, 1.0 fl oz (30 ml) (Health and Beauty)
I began considering age spot removal when sun spots (kinder phrase than "age spots") were growing more visible on my upper cheeks as I enter my early 40's. A little research and shopping time on Amazon, I chose Murad. I started a twice-daily routine of Noxema and Murad. After months, I was in the middle of my second bottle before noticing results. They are slow but the spots have certainly faded.
Soon after acquiring my third bottle from Amazon, I ran across a Shiseido cream. Though more expensive, results are seen in a couple weeks. I still use Murad for spot areas on my skin, though Shiseido has won me over.
In summary, Murad's effectiveness depends on individual skin type. I can say it did work on me, though much slower that I had anticipated or hoped. I can say I've never experienced irritation of any sort.
