A 101 GUIDE TO MURAD
The first of its kind to ever offer clinical {skin care} products, {Murad} skin care has always been one step ahead of the rest. The revolutionary brand was created back in 1989 by Dr. Murad, who had a simple but effective manifesto: “skincare is healthcare.” Science, theories, research, testing and plenty of experiments became the backbone of the business – Dr. Murad wanted to make sure that every product did what it said on the tin.
Murad’s products were an instant hit – and they’ve gone from strength to strength! Today you can find everything from eye creams and retinol-infused serums to blemish-tackling treatments for both face and body. Their products fit into four colour-coded categories: blue is for oil control, purple is for hydration, green is for firming the skin and orange is for brightening and protecting.
We’ve thought long and hard to compile our list of the 10 best Murad products – no mean feat given the brand’s impressive repertoire! And if you’re looking for the best Murad products to target a specific skin care concern then scroll on down. You’ll also find top tips from Cult Concierge expert {Sarah} on how to get the most out of your Murad skin care products.

HOW TO USE MURAD
All stocked-up and ready to go? Here’s Cult Concierge expert {Sarah} with her top tips on how to get the most out of Murad.
- Before you dive in, first identify any particular skin concerns that you have. Each product fits into specific colour-coded categories depending on what you want to target: blue is for oil control (best for acne-prone skin), purple is for hydration (best for sensitive skin), green is for firming the skin (best for ageing skin) and orange is for brightening and protecting (a good all-rounder). You can create a routine from the different ranges depending on your skincare goals.
- Since Murad uses active ingredients, we recommend introducing new products gradually, making sure you patch test first.
- A good skin care routine is as follows (in this order): cleanser, serum, eye cream, moisturiser and SPF. Extra treatment products can be added over time to target specific concerns.
CAN I USE MURAD WHILE PREGNANT?
This all depends on the formulation, as there are a few ingredients we would warn against using during pregnancy, such as retinol, salicylic acid and some essential oils. If you have any queries regarding a particular product, you can reach out to the {Cult Concierge team}, however, please speak to your doctor before introducing any new product into your routine while pregnant.
