Murad’s iconic Retinol Youth Renewal Serum is back with an advanced new formula designed to tackle multiple signs of skin ageing — fast.

Murad has given one of its skincare favourites an upgrade. Powered by four active retinoids, the next-generation Retinol Youth Renewal Serum targets 10 visible signs of early skin ageing while supporting hydration and skin renewal. Working quickly yet gently, it helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles, refine texture, even skin tone and restore firmness, elasticity and radiance.

At its heart is Murad’s 4x Active Retinoid Technology, combining complementary forms of retinoid with four types of hyaluronic acid and four collagen amino acids. Hyaluronic acid delivers hydration at different levels to help offset the dryness often associated with retinol, while collagen amino acids help protect skin’s natural collagen for a firmer, more youthful-looking complexion.

And the results come quickly. In a four-week clinical study of 30 participants, the serum was clinically proven to improve 10 visible signs of early skin ageing in just seven days. After 14 days, 100% showed improvements in elasticity, firmness and radiance, while 93% showed improvements in fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots.

Our verdict? A hardworking nighttime serum that combines advanced retinol technology with serious hydration in one streamlined step, leaving skin looking healthier, brighter and more youthful.
