Hello! I have rosacea and red marks from acne. Would you recommend this cream or the hydro-dynamic ultimate moisture? Or is there another option more suitable for my skin concern
- Asked by Grace
- Official Answer By MuradIf you are wanting to lighten the red marks left over from acne breakouts you will want a treatment product. To help prevent redness from irritation and inflammation both moisturizers are great choices! The Hydro Dynamic Ultimate Moisture is a light cream while being deeply hydrating. The Intense Recovery Cream is a bit different. You apply it to your fingers and then your body heat will help "melt" it into your skin.Was this answer helpful to you

Favorite Murad Moistruizer
I love this moisturizer! I got a deluxe sample recently and was hesitant to use it when I opened the sample jar. The consistency looked dried out and old. I thought I had gotten a bad sample batch but boy was I wrong! This is a very thick and rich consistency moisturizer. It scoops out like a clean...

bad batch or formula change
i first got this as a gift and then bought it three more times so ive been using it for awhile. the first three containers i used were bought in store and i absolutely loved it. the cream itself was firm but would just melt into your skin and feel just heavenly, you only needed a little bit. so eve...

Works well but
I've been using this product for 10 days and it has definitely helped my skin not flake by midday but it's expensive (got lucky to get it on sale which is rare for this brand) and I'm already a good way through the jar. Maybe if I use the full system it will go further. I am using the face wash from this line as well and can definitely see a difference in my skin.

Not for me
I have dry, acne prone skin. I tried this several times, different ways at night and I cannot make it work. This irritates my skin to the point it is red and peeling. Not only that, but I started getting cystic acne which I havent had in years.
It's a nice hand cream
It triggered my facial dermatitis within 30 minutes, and didnt feel that hydrating although it smells like a spa and does seem to work better as a hand/arm cream. I may try it a couple days for that but if I didn't get this on sale there would be no way I would keep it. The overnight mask by Murad is much nicer than this.
This moisturizer is great, but..
Its does really moisturize my skin. i dont mind scraping it out, because it almost 'melts' from a solid to a more 'cream/oil' texture with warmth feom your hands and skin. That being said, this cream has a WEIRD odor, and its mot very pleasant. I smell it putting it on, and can smell it throughout the day if i accidentally touch my skin/face where it was applied.
Not Great.
I had high hopes for this mositurize. My skin is slightly dry and very sensitive. It didnt gelp reduce and of my redness, my skin doesnt feel soft for long.. just wasnt worth nearly $100.
