I truly enjoy this product. I use it when I am feeling dull and lackluster. It does not take much a thin layer is perfect. I love the tingle and super refreshed feeling it gives.

Although this product does not brighten the skin like other peels, it does leave my skin very smooth. I have combination skin, which usually means my t-zone gets flaky (especially during the winter). This product really helps balance and even out my skin. it is expensive, but my 1.7 oz tube has lasted for over 6 months and I use it about once a week in conjunction with a weekly exfoliant.

I hate a love hate relationship with this product . Is claims to be a peel yet it doesn't give the brightness of peels. I do have to say that I continue to use this because of the tingling and deep clean feeling that continues for 10 min after you rinse it out!

This review is for Murad Intensive-C Radiance Peel
50ml/1.7oz. I received this as a gift from a friend, so I had to research the price point. For $27.00 (US) and the amount of product you get, I suppose this is not bad. Overall I have no problem spending a bit more for skin care products as long as they are high quality and yield results.

My skin is aging/acne/sensitive. It's a tough combination to treat. So when I found Dr. Murad's products through a friend, I was skeptical. The first one I tried was a cleanser with great results, so I wanted to try something else in the line. The Intensive C Radiance Peel made my skin softer and smoother with one application.

Just like the instructions said, I left it on a freshly cleansed face for 10 minutes, then exfoliated with a warm wash cloth, rinsed. I can see clearer skin, clear pores, no irritation, which is exactly what I am looking for. Because I used it on my chin area first, I wanted to wait to see if there was any reaction not just upon removal, but a few hours later. Almost eight hours later and no reaction, no redness, irritation, itching.

The review is based on the deluxe sample (0.33 fl oz/10 ml)
When applied , the peel stings slightly. I left for 10 min on my face and neck. The product made skin softer and cleaner. Nothing outstanding though. I am not sure whether or not the peel is worth the price listed on sephora.com

I've used this for two months now and it's really good at removing post-acne marks. In the past, I've had nothing but breakouts from Murad products so I was really surprised to like to this.


When I use this I wash, exfoliate with a brush, then leave this peel on for about 15 minutes. There's no immediate difference but skin is visibly clearer the next morning. (I'm NC15/20 so acne marks are super noticeable on my face.)

I will concede that there's no noticeable difference in the size of my pores etc. (so I'm guessing this fails on the "fights environmental aging" aspect of it's marketing claims) but since that isn't what I wanted it to do I'm only taking off 1 lippie for it.

I only received a sample of this. I've used it about four or five times. The first time I used it, I only put a very thin layer on. I barely felt anything. It's like a lotion and doesn't dry or anything. After leaving on ten minutes i washed it off. My skin felt a bit smoother. That's about the only thing I noticed. I used it a few mone times (I tried it twice a week for two weeks). I put a lot on especially on my cheeks where I have some age spots. It had a slight burning/tingling sensation for the first ten minutes I left it on for over 30 minutes thinking maybe I would see more of an effect. Nope. Just the same sort of result in terms of slightly smoother and refreshed looking skin. I'm also using the whole mural sun undone kit. I'm into my third week with very minimal results.

For starters, this product is expensive and comes in a treatment of 4. The bottles are impossible to get the last bit out and for the money spent, I want every bit out. Maybe for a younger woman this product would work, but I am 37 and have sun spots and fine lines. This product did not make a difference at all and is not anything like a peel. In fact, it didn't even tingle. HORRIBLE PRODUCT, very disappointed and would not recommend.

Vit. C treatments usually brighten my skin, but one use of this product made my skin dehydrated, dull, and wrinkly looking. Needless to say, I won't use again. Sothys Vit. C line and NeoStrata peels work much better for me.
