ELLA K BEAUTY REVIEW

Murad Essential-C Cleanser Review

Murad Essential-C Cleanser is a refreshing gel cleanser with a subtle citrus scent.  The formula features mild cleansing agents, antioxidants, phospholipids, rice amino acids, and panthenol.  The cleanser creates a silky soft lather that removes dirt and makeup without drying out the skin. 
The formula rinses easily and leaves skin clean and comfortable. 

Murad Anti-Aging Moisturizer SPF 20 Review

Anti-Aging Moisturizer SPF 20 is a lightweight yet hydrating lotion for
blemish-prone skin.  The moisturizer is formulated with broad spectrum sunscreen, antioxidants, kombucha, marine kelp extract, willow bark extract, and other natural extracts.  The moisturizer absorbs easily and keeps the skin hydrated without excessive shine or white residue.

Murad Resurgence Renewing Eye Cream Review

Resurgence Renewing Eye Cream is a rich, unscented cream for the eye area.  The formula incorporates emollients, peptides, retinol, plant extracts, and other skin conditioners.  The cream absorbs easily into the skin, creating a matte, non-greasy base for under eye concealer.  The cream instantly softens and smoothes the eye area, and helps to minimize fines lines over time.

Murad Absolute Bronzing Boost SPF 15 Review

Absolute Bronzing Boost is a sheer liquid bronzer with a warm amber tint. 
The oil-free formula combines sunscreen, antioxidants, and skin conditioners. 
The fluid bronzer blends easily into the skin, creating a soft, natural glow. 
The bronzer can be applied all over the face or just in areas naturally kissed by the sun.

Murad Skin Perfecting Primer Acne and Shine Control Review

Skin Perfecting Primer Acne and Shine Control is a tinted foundation-like liquid that combines salicylic acid and probiotics to reduce blemishes.  The primer blends easily into the skin and sets to a weightless matte finish.  The sheer neutral tint evens out the skin and blurs minor imperfections.  This product is fragrance-free.  

Murad Sensitive Skin Soothing Serum Review

Sensitive Skin Soothing Serum is a translucent gel-liquid with a pale green tint.  The serum is formulated with lightweight hydrators, antioxidants and natural anti-irritants.  The serum feels slightly sticky going on but it absorbs quickly, leaving the skin supple and moist.  The serum helps to soothe and hydrate the complexion without a heavy or greasy feel.  This product is fragrance-free. 

Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser Review

This foaming cleanser contains small jojoba beads, glycolic acid, lactic acid and salicylic acid to exfoliate dead skin cells.  The cleanser removes dirt, oil and makeup while the jojoba beads gently polish the skin (the exfoliating acids don’t stay on the skin long enough to make a significant impact).  It leaves the face feeling smooth, soft and clean.  This product should be used with restraint to avoid over-drying.

Murad Energizing Pomegranate Moisturizer SPF 15 Review

This lightweight, watery moisturizer would be suitable for most skin types, but not for very oily skin or skin sensitive to chemical sunscreens.  It leaves the skin soft and supple with some residual shine after a few hours of wear.  The sun protection in this formula comes from Avobenzone (2.5%), Octinoxate (7.5%) and Oxybenzone (2.0%).  The formula also contains several good antioxidants.  This moisturizer has a pleasant fruity scent.
