In a Vitamin C rut? You apply it diligently and see some minor improvements to your skin, but nothing spectacular. We’ll be the ones to break it to you — it’s not you, it’s the product you’re using.
Murad knows all about your struggle, so the brand created two new, game-changing products that will make you understand what all the hype around this ingredient is about — and we have an exclusive 20 percent discount on them just for launch day.
The secret is an additional ingredient with a touch of luxury — real gold. Murad’s new products, Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector and Vita-C Glycolic Brightening Serum, are formulated with gold as a stabilizing agent for vitamin C, and the result is a 55 percent more potent dose of both the vitamin and antioxidants. And the proof is in the clinical trials, where 86 percent of participants saw brighter eye area skin in two weeks and 85 percent saw a reduction in dark circles after six weeks after using Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector, and 86 percent of participants saw brighter, more radiant, and healthier skin after four weeks of using Vita-C Glycolic Brightening Serum.
We caught up with Howard Murad, M.D., F.A.A.D., the brain behind Murad Skincare and Murad Health spa and one of the world’s leading skincare authorities, to get the details on what the vitamin really does for your skin.
“If vitamin C is not stabilized, it affects its potency and ability to deliver results to the skin. By stabilizing our vitamin C with gold, we're able to preserve the vitamin C and maximize its benefits,” says Dr. Murad. “Vita-C is for everyone. It’s an excellent ingredient to brighten skin and protect from free radicals. We are the first skincare brand to market with gold-stabilized vitamin C. The gold-stabilized delivery system enhances vitamin C stability and potency, delivering optimal results — it has a 55 percent higher antioxidant defense than traditional vitamin C.”
Your skin is exposed to a lot of free radicals in both your environment and your diet. These can affect the skin and accelerate aging — and vitamin C can help combat the process.
“We should all be using products to combat free radicals and environmental damage,” Dr. Murad advises. Not only does vitamin C protect from that, but it also enhances your sun protection. “When you’re exposed to sunlight, you're also exposed to a lot of other wavelengths that the sunscreen is not blocking that can cause free radical damage,” he says. “So pairing an SPF with vitamin C gives you a broader range of protection (not just from UV rays). In other words, SPF with antioxidants gives you enhanced protection.”

Formulated with bio-nutrients red algae and giant kelp to help improve the look of under-eye puffiness, the serum delivers light-reflecting minerals that balance transparency and color-correct the look of dark circles.
