Murad are launching Vita-C Glycolic Brightening Serum (£72) and Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector (£56). Both are powered by the one-of-a-kind Vita-C Complex which is a combination of three types of Vitamin C: Gold-Stabilised Pure L-Ascorbic Acid, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THD) and Glutathione. Together they deliver potent yet stable Vitamin C, with a higher antioxidant defence that has excellent skin absorption.
Vita-C Glycolic Brightening Serum helps to improve the look of hyperpigmentation and uneven tone for dramatically brighter, healthier-looking skin. Glycolic acid removes dulling surface cells to enhance vitamin C delivery and reveal fresher, glowing skin. Photo-luminescent extract protects from harmful high-energy UV radiation, transforming it into a skin-illuminating source of light.
Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector treats appearance of stubborn dark circles (blue, brown and red tones). Red algae and giant kelp extract help improve the look of under-eye puffiness, as light-reflecting micro-minerals instantly brighten. Both available from murad.
