Dr. Brendan Camp, a board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology, previously cited this potent eye serum as a favorite anti-aging product from Murad.
“Retinol, cotton wool grass extract, and marine kelp complex are featured in this eye serum to improve the appearance of tired eyes, improve hydration, and limit the formation of fine lines,” Camp said of this formula.
According to Camp, retinol is an ingredient that appears in many anti-aging products because of its ability to improve collagen production to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. This formula utilizes three different types of gradual-release retinol, an ingredient that’s clinically proven to promote collagen production. The serum also addresses skin dryness for up to 24 hours.
