    Work in progress

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been trying this for some time before writing my review to get an actual feel of the product. My cheeks are usually pinkish and I have dark spots throughout my face… I feel this product had lessens the intensity of those dark spots and I'll probably be using this as a staple in my routine to see if they fade even more.

    I would try again if they had for sensitive skin

    I received this product free in exchange for my honest review. I may be allergic to something in this product because I broke out after three uses. I did like the consistency and how it sat on my fave though. I also appreciated that there is no off putting scent.

    Great, easy to use product

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is a great serum. It goes on easily and is not greasy. It spreads well. I did not get any breakouts from it and it was not irritating. I didnt get any drying of my skin either. It was the consistency of gel. Great product.

    Another Home Run by Murad

    This serum is absolutely fantastic. No weird smell, a gel texture, absorbs quickly into the skin. Is not sticky or heavy feeling, definitely see results if you use consistently. As usual, Murad knocked this one out of the park!

    My favorite serum

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The serum works well, if you use it regularly, it's lightweight and absorbs easily. Good price, worth every penny. The formula feels gentle but effective, and its layers really well under moisturizer and make up. Love the scent. After using it consistently, I noticed my dark spots fading and my skin tone looking brighter.

    Great addition to my skincare routine

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love Murad and have really liked the products I have used from this brand, so I was excited to try this serum. The packaging is sleek and easy to use, the serum has a light clean scent that is not overpowering, I did not experience any irritation when using this serum. It has been a great addition to my skincare routine.

    Not a favorite

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I'm not sure that I really care for this product. It makes my face feel sticky after application, and I don't see any difference after using it. Not a favorite.

    Lightweight serum that fades marks.

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been using the Murad Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum consistently for about a month and have really been enjoying it so far. The texture is smooth and slightly slippery, which makes it spread effortlessly across the skin, and a little truly goes a long way. My skin absorbs it quickly and I've experienced zero pilling when layering other products on top. It doesn't have a noticeable scent, which I actually appreciate, and it hasn't irritated my skin at all. I use it daily and haven't experienced any dryness—in fact my skin feels a bit fuller and healthier overall. I don't have many dark spots, mostly leftover acne marks, and while they aren't completely gone, I do think they appear lighter after consistent use. Considering how little product you need each time, the bottle should last quite a while which adds good value. I plan to continue using it and will likely purchase another bottle to see what another month of use can do.

    A must in your skincare routine

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Wow ! I was highly impressed with this product and cannot believe how fast I've been seeing results. I have never really been a skincare girly but I have learned the importance of taking care of our skin. I had a lot of dark pigmentation on my cheeks and this serum has helped so much. My skin also use to look very dull and this has helped even out my skin tone and really brighten it. The serum itself is not sticky and glides on the skin smoothly. I really love that it also helps prevent any further dark spots which is definitely a plus.

    Protective + Corrective

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I like how lightweight the serum is, it feels weightless after drying and it adds a layer of protection. It works efficiently to treat dark areas and spots over time. The formula is gentle for sensitive skin, it actually feels soothing. The consistency is light and runny, but viscous enough to create a nice layer on the skin. It absorbs evenly and easily.

    Decent

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This serum was lightweight and not too fragranced. It worked on some minor dark spots but only minimally on some older ones. I will keep using this to see what happens.

    Good

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Incentivized - good product - the only drawback - upon the first application - it does create a bit of a sensation - after using it a few times - it was fine. It effectively removed dark circles

    My skin is glowing!

    This is working for me! I haw tried so many things to brighten my tone and I feel like I have a nice glow now. When I ran out in between bottles, my skin was not as radiant. I repurchased immediately! So good.

    2 weeks in and loving it

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been using this serum consistently for about 2 weeks focusing on areas where I have uneven skin tone and small dark spots around my eyes and cheeks. The texture is lightweight, silky and absorbs quickly without feeling sticky or heavy. What stood out to me was how bright and even my skin has started to look. I appreciate that it doesn't irritate my skin. No redness just a healthy glow. Though this is on the pricier side since I'm seeing results I highly recommend this if you're wanting to fade your dark spots and get a healthy glow. I don't have severe dark spots however so I can't attest to how well this will work for that.

    I like it!

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This Murad serum feels good going on, absorbs quickly. It has a light pleasant scent. The serum is thicker, not watery, and I like that. It didn't cause any stinging or skin irritation for me. I have mature, normal skin with some freckles, dark spots, wrinkles and rosacea. Can't wait to see how my skin changes as I finish the full bottle! So far so good.

    I would repurchase.

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Please excuse the way I look but I am very impressed with the way this has lightened my melasma and brightened my face. The consistency is almost a runny gel serum. It literally does not have a scent either. I believe if you have melasma, dark spots, or fullness you are really gonna enjoy this serum.

    Good

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This product made my skin look very shiny/glowy in a good way. When used with a moisturizer I didn't feel too dry, but using it more than once a day may dry some people's skin. Worth a try!!!

    Love it so far

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love this dark spot correcting serum and the fact that it can be applied all over your face and not just target areas. I have combination skin and It's not heavy at all, I can apply all of my other skin care products without my face feeling weighed down or a feeling of clogged pores. Theres a slight chemical scent but it doesn't last long. So far no breakouts and I feel like it's really working for me.

    Fading away

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I saw noticeable in my dark spots after using this serum. The serum is thin and soaks in quickly, so it works well with my routine. Results look promising so far. The only downside was the scent. It has a bit of a clinical smell that I didn't love.

    Helps lighten dark spots

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is a light weight serum. I love how a little goes a long way! One pump and I can use on my face and neck. The scene is pleasing. I feel like my dark spots have improved especially on my neck.
