Murad is a huge company in the anti wrinkle market, and their products can be found through multiple retailers including many high end retailers.  They claim to use an ultra rich, hydrating cream that restores the skin and minimizes the common signs of aging.  Many have come to expect a lot from Murad, because at times in the past, they have created impressive products.  However, they have also created some products that weren’t worth more than the bottle they came in, and essentially you pay for the bottle and moreover, the name, but not the actual formula.

Murad Resurgence Age Balancing Night Cream ingredients include Water (Aqua), Butylene Glycol, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Diglycerin, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Isononyl Isononanoate, Oleyl Alcohol, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Stearic Acid, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Sterols, Trifolium Pratense (Clover) Flower Extract, Larrea Divaricata Extract, Dioscorea Villosa (Wild Yam) Root Extract, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Protein, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract, Lecithin, Menhaden Oil (Brevoortia), Retinol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil Unsaponifiables, Serenoa Serrulata Fruit Extract, Borago Officinalis Seed Oil, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium PCA, Panthenol, Tocopherol, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Cetyl Phosphate, Carbomer, Aminomethyl Propanol, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Limonene, Linalool, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Oil, Citrus Tangerina (Tangerine) Peel Oil, Aniba Rosaeodora (Rosewood) Wood Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Amara (Bitter Almond) Kernel Oil, Barosma Betulina Leaf Oil, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil.

Unfortunately, this particular Murad product does not impress us.  The only “active ingredients” found in this product are moisturizers, which are essential to a night cream.  But they are not the only necessary part.  They completely forget about all the proven wrinkle fighters in favor of these moisturizers, and then they charge prices that would only be justified by a myriad of proven ingredients in high amounts.  At $82, you can definitely find a better product.
