(I) Introduction (II) What's Glycolic Acid? (III) Glycolic Acid (IV) Spa formula (V) Sun Care

Dr. Howard Murad, founder and CEO of Murad, Inc., is recognized internationally as a leading skincare expert and is consulted regularly on today's most prominent skincare concerns. Through his work with over 40,000 patients, Dr. Murad recognized the vital need for the general public to have access to non-prescription skincare products. His pharmaceutical experience combined with his background as a dematologist led to the discovery of many breakthrough skincare formulations.

Dr. Murad was one of the first to pioneer the benfits of Alpha Hydroxy Acids. This led to the development of Murad's Advanced Glycolic Acid Skincare Treatment Line for consumers and the AHA Rapid Exfoliator Treatment Line for use by skincare professionals. The Spa Formula Product Line was developed to complement the Glycolic Acid Treatments. Together they provide the most scientifically-advanced skincare for the entire body.

Murad, Inc. products are developed with the most advanced technology and innovative ingredients available. They represent Dr. Murad's ongoing commitment to maximizing the health and appearance of your skin.


WHAT IS GLYCOLIC ACID?

Glycolic acid is one of a number of "Alpha Hydroxy Acids" (AHAs), naturally occurring substances found in fruits, sugar cane, sour milk and the body. These substances are exceptional for exfoliating surface skin cells by gently loosening the bonds that hold these cells together. The smallest molecule of all AHAs, glycolic acid, which is found naturally in sugar cane, is considered by many researchers to be the Alpha Hydroxy Acid most adaptable for cosmetic purposes.

Glycolic acid cosmetic formulations have been found to improve the following major skincare problems:

      The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
      Oily and acne prone skin
      Skin doscolorations
      Dry, rough, thickened skin

Dr. Murad has researched and developed specialized cosmetic formulations with alpha and beta hydroxy acid to successfully care for these concerns. He has consistently achieved dramatic results with Murad Advanced Glycolic Acid Skincare products as have thousands of Skincare Professionals using his formulations with their clientele.

Now, you too can achieve these same results by using Murad advanced skincare products at home. We recommend that you use the appropriate products for your skin type and skincare concerns in the following regimen:

STEP 1: Rinse away surface impurities with a Murad Cleanser.

STEP 2: Balance and tone with a Murad Toner.

STEP 3: Treat specific skincare concerns and smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with a Murad Advanced Glycolic Acid Skincare Treatment.

STEP 4: Moisturize and protect with a Murad Moisturizer and a Murad Sunscreen.

Consult your salon aesthetician for help in selecting the products that are right for you.
