Murad T-Zone Pore Refining Gel

While I am pretty sold on the amazing-ness of the Bliss Peeling Groovy serum, I have to continue to try new product since, duh, that is why I have this blog! So when I got a chance to try a similar product from Murad, i.e. a serum that helps the skin exfoliate, I decided to incorporate it into my skin care routine. I've been using Murad's T-Zone Pore Refining Gel at night after I wash my face. I pump only once and get enough gel for my entire face (its not just for the T-zone, its can go everywhere!). It goes on a bit more wet and a little sticky, which is why I use it at night, followed by a heavier moisturizer than I use in the morning. The gel contains some of the best proven ingredients for helping skin be clearer and brighter, like glycolic acid, salicylic acid and retinol, and a antioxidant, Pomegranate extract. So far, I like the results, clearer skin and fewer breakouts. It can sting a little on application, especially if my skin is dry or irritated, but if it helps me go through my peeling groovy slower, I'm a fan. Also, at $40 for 2 oz. it is a decent bargain.

Exfoliate Lovely!

Murad Moisture Silk Eye Gel

I am still not sure I am ready to commit to using an eye cream on a regular basis, but I may have found one that I will use. Murad's Moisture Silk Eye Gel is supposed to calm and hydrate tired, puffy eyes, especially during the day, with the help of Caffine and Chamomile extract. I don't tend to get puffy bags under my eyes, unless I haven't slept in days, but I do have moderately dark under eye circles. This means I always use quite a bit of concealer on them. This eye cream is a great base for all that because it is silky smooth and absorbs very quickly. It must be the glycerin that makes it feel so silky, and helps my concealer (usually my beloved YSL Touche Eclat) glide on easy and stay on all day. I am not sure this specific eye cream will ward off any wrinkles that are coming later in my life, but it helps my issues now, so I'll take it.

Silky Lovely!
