Remember when you were a child and you would watch your grandmother (or perhaps even your mother) apply her wrinkle cream at night? The cream was thick and you could probably smell scent of the perfume in it from across the room. Well, wrinkle creams and anti ageing products have come a long way! Today, you can moisturize and work against the signs of aging without heavy scents or oily creams that may irritate skin or clog pores.

As we’ve learned more about skin care over the years, we’ve learned that the ingredients in skin care products need to be the best quality possible, which is why Murad uses only pharmaceutical grade ingredients. For example, our Perfecting Night Cream includes green tea extract and Vitamin E to not only repair skin but also to fight free radical damage.

Back when you were watching your grandmother use her favorite wrinkle cream, the developers of that cream didn’t even know what a free radical was or how antioxidants can be used to combat them!

There’s also the matter of scent in products. Your grandmother’s wrinkle cream most likely smelled like a French perfume! While that smell may bring back warm memories for you, over the years we’ve learned that rich fragrance in a skin care products, if not properly formylated, can actually irritate your skin and cause redness, flushing or even breakouts. The Murad skin care products all have clean, natural scents that come from ingredients that won’t irritate your skin.

Finally, when your grandmother was using her anti wrinkle cream, it was simply meant to try to fill out the fine lines in her skin and moisturize for a healthy glow. Today, better knowledge of ingredients and how they interact with your skin means that there are products that can fight acne while also fighting the signs of aging, that can remove acne scars or dark spots caused by ageing, and that work to create beautiful skin in more ways than simply through moisturizing.

Beautiful skin has come a long way! Don’t use the same wrinkle cream that your grandmother did. Explore the many skin care options that exist today and find one that meets your precise requirements and treats your skin exactly the way that it needs to be treated.
