    Helps Discoloration

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Great staple serum to add to your skincare routine! I love the texture of this- it is not too runny and not too thick of a serum either. This has helped fade my discoloration tremendously and I am pleased with it!

    Not sure yet

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] It's hard to tell exactly how well this works, as I haven't been super consistent with it. It's a tad tacky to the touch, but after applying moisturizer it's not noticeable. So I'll have to test this out for longer.

    Must have!

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I absolutely love this product! The texture is so smooth and really feels like it absorbs directly into your skin. It is so easy to apply and a little goes a long way with this product!

    Good Dark spot corrector

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I just want to say this works absolutely miracles on my dark spots. I've been using for quite a while now, and seeing a drastic improvement and as little as two weeks of using. I've tried many products, but nothing works quite like the Murad Environmental Shield Dark Spot Correcting Serum. I like that is non-harsh on my skin and does not irritate it.

    3 April, 2026Verified purchase

    Don't waste your money. It does nothing for age spots.

    This product does nothing for dark spots whatsoever. I had high hopes for it. I used it morning and night directly on 6 specific age spots on my arm and décolleté. The tiny bottle only lasted 10 days even though I didn't spread it on wide area, just directly on those 6 age spots. There was literally no lightening of the dark spots at all. I returned it through the Target app based on it being a total waste of $29.00 and shipped it back. My refund was denied. I am writing this to warn others not to waste your money. Very disappointing that Target did not stand behind their product. I have been a customer for many years and I think this was my first time ever returning anything for refund. It's not as if I am a chronic returner.

    Testing still

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] First of all, the GLOW this product gives my skin is chefs kiss!! It's such a nice textured serum, I really enjoy it. I haven't used it enough to give the dark spot correction a fair shot as ingredients aren't pregnancy safe but now I can finally start testing it without a worry!

    Love!

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] First of all I love there is no vitamin c scent with this. I usually they have a metallic scent to it. This is perfect and finally helped a spot on my cheek that has been there for 2 years. It still there but extremely faint now.

    Great dark spot corrector

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This product is very hydrating. It's a little sticky, but applies so smoothly and dries well so it is no longer sticky. I haven't used it long enough to notice any dark spots being cleared up, but I will continue to use this in my daily routine to prevent/treat any dark spots I may have.

    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.
