“Murad Environmental Shield Starter Kit is a complete Murad regimen designed to free your skin of dullness, dark spots and wrinkles for a younger-looking complexion and to protect your skin from environmental damage”

Kit includes:
– Essential-C Cleanser (1.5 oz.): Massage a small amount over dampened face and neck. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
– Advanced Active Radiance Serum (0.33 oz.): Massage evenly over clean face, neck and chest. Wait one minute for maximum absorption.
– Rapid Age Spot & Pigment Lightening Serum (0.25 oz.): Massage a thin layer over face, neck, chest and hands every evening after cleansing.
– Essential-C Day Moisture Broad Spectrum SPF 30 PA+++ (0.7 oz.): Apply liberally to face, neck and chest.

I loved my first skincare kit for Murad so much that I ordered another. The cleanser in this kit is a gel instead of a creamy cleanser. I think that this cleanser would work better for oily skin because I experienced some tightness after using it. On the other hand, the Advanced Active Radiance Serum in this collection worked beautifully on my skin. It went on smooth and restored some of the moisture in my skin. The Day Moisturizer was also great for adding moisture and protecting my skin with the SPF 30. 

The Rapid Age Spot & Lightening Serum is a fave of many beauty lovers that I’ve been hearing about for years but had never tried. I tried applying it all over as the instructions stated but it made my skin dry out in some areas. After doing some more research I started to apply it just to a few dark spots and old scars to help them fade quicker. 

Overall I like “Environmental Shield” kit but I don’t love it as much as I loved the “Age Reform” kit. I blame it mostly on the different cleansers but all of the other products have worked great for my skin. Another win from Murad.
