Great mattifier. That's about it.
-02.24.13
This product works wonders to smooth the skin and keep it mattified when it's on. However, I've noticed absolutely no reduction in my fine lines or the few sun spots that I have. My pores also only appear reduced when I first put this on due to its mattifying effect.
My thoughts on serums is that they are supposed to improve your skin, even when you aren't wearing the product. Temporary fixes are what primer and foundation are for. There was no improvement to my skin, and I used the entire bottle. I also used it in conjunction with the cleanser from the same line. No results in making my skin more even toned or radiant. And I always wear sunscreen, even on cloudy days, so that's not why my sun spots haven't lightened.
Put simply, this product didn't work for me. I think I'll likely skip Murad products from now on.

Remarkable Product and name says it all!
-02.06.13
Quick Take: exfoliating, moisturizing
I am a longtime fan of Murad products! He was my dermatologist as a teenager before he was the famous Dr. Murad. I have been using this product for two weeks and have noticed a truly brighter complexion with lighting of spots and a dewy glow. It is what I have been looking for to refresh my skin after recently having a baby. I love it and hope it stays in the product line forever!

Disappointed
-01.27.13
I'm a fan of the Murad line and I'm generally happy with my previous purchases. I've had good results with the post-acne spot lightening gel but I wanted to avoid hydroquinone so I tried this product. I've used it twice a day for about three weeks but I don't really see a difference. There is a temporary brightening effect when you first apply it, but I imagine that's due to the properties of the product itself. I feel like I fell for the "more costly = better results" gimmick. Ill be going back to the hydroquinone. Pros: smells nice, non-greasy, absorbs quickly.

just ok

Quick Take: silky
This product has a nice texture and it didn't cause me to break out. However, I'm not convinced that it's done anything to diminish spots or wrinkles. It just seems like a nice moisturizer....a bit pricey for that.

Impressive
-12.25.12
Quick Take: great for sensitive skin
It brightens, smooths and refines. It's gentle and non irritating. You can use am and pm but I use primer for day and this at night. After either Chanel or Shiseido brightening, softening toner/ lotion. Give few minutes to sink in and apply night cream.

I love Murad products and had to try this new pore refining treatment. I have been using the product for about 2 weeks now and love the smell and feel of the product. Its very light and goes on smooth. It dries like a lotion w/out the greasy feel and is light enough to wear a daily lotion or makeup on top. I think it's to early to tell if it is actually doing anything. I try to give products at least a month to see if I see any results from it. The only thing I am not noticing is it doesn't feel like it is a skin tightening product like I thought it was.

It actually does what it says and more....!
-11.14.12
Quick Take: moisturizing, smoothing illuminating
I am loving the results of this Murad treatment. I have used what seems like an infinite number of serums and treatments including Dr. Perricone's Acyl Glutathione. This White Brilliance Treatment has given my skin considerable brightness, clarity, evenness and lo and behold, the 11 lines and other lines on my forehead have diminshed significantly. The treatment absorbs quickly and there is a light scent that smells a bit like banana to me. It is costly but the results are well worth it!
