Overview
Murad actually manufactures and distributes several cosmetic formulas. Recently, it has been publicizing its newest member in the line, called Murad Day Reform. This product is designed to use in the morning after cleansing. Murad Day Reform is meant to strengthen skin while reducing wrinkles and exfoliate away dead skin so that new skin can surface. The formula features a unique mixture of natural botanical extracts along with several synthetic ingredients.
Featured Ingredients
Retinol - This is a synthetic form of Vitamin A, which is an antioxidant that is important to maintaining vision and bone health. It may impact the immune system and encourage production of growth hormone, which is why it is included in this formula. Salicylic Acid - This synthetic chemical is usually featured in products that treat acne and similar types of skin breakouts. Although it is a top choice for that use, it seems to be out of place in a product claiming to reduce wrinkles, since no research has been done on this property. Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry Seed) - This botanical contains concentrations of many types of beneficial Omega oils, which can promote an antioxidant function to protect the skin. But Raspberry Seed has mostly been tested on those with skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, making it another curious choice for an anti-wrinkle formula. Morinda Citrifolia (Noni) - The extract of this Pacific Island fruit has been touted as a cure for everything from arthritis to cancer. While it does seem to boost immune health and promote antioxidant protection - which may be good for the skin - the AntiAging-Reviews.com research team is not aware of any research showing how Noni may promote anti-aging for the skin or affect wrinkles in any way.
Web Site Description
The web site for Murad Day Reform only gives the most basic information. Most of the ingredients are not discussed in very much detail, and not testimonials are posted so that visitors cannot see how this product has worked for others.
Positives
- Contains some intriguing natural antioxidants, which may protect the skin
- Although it may not work on wrinkles, it could help those with acne, eczema, psoriasis and other types of rare skin conditions
Negatives
- Very sparse web site with little information
- No customer testimonials available
- Does not contain proven anti-wrinkle compounds such as Glucosamine Complex or Regenex
Conclusion
For a product that claims to be the first step in a daily system towards reducing wrinkles and promoting younger looking skin, Murad Day Reform simply seems to fall short. Although the ingredients in the formula seem relatively safe, they do not really seem to be the best choices for wrinkle treatment, since they have been tested mostly on other types of problems. At the best, this formula will help provide some protection against sun and pollution. At the worst, those looking to reduce their wrinkles will feel as if they are wasting their money on this rather mild product.
