Murad Targeted Correctors

When it comes to Murad skincare products, there is something quite special about them, ticking the boxes they promise and one of my all time favourite products is the Murad Vita C Triple Exfoliating Facial.  New to my stash is the Murad Targeted Correctors, all three of them described as being instant fixes for those troublesome skin concerns.

Following the successful launch of the Murad Targeted Wrinkle Corrector, which I've shared below, it has now been partnered with two further correctors to complete the trio - the Targeted Eye Depuffer and the Targeted Pore Corrected.

Starting with the Targeted Eye Depuffer (£64/15ml) it is described as being an eye-awakening, microcurrent-inspired treatment visibly depuffs and firms with every use—and tightens over time for lasting results.

This multi-action eye treatment works to both instantly brighten and cool and when used over time, it also visibly tightens, tones and depuffs for lasting results.  As it is a treatment for the eyes, it comes packaged in an elongated tube with a metal applicator and that alone is soothing without the inclusion of the amazing list of ingredients:

• Microcurrent-inspired Amino Acid Peptide - visibly tones, lifts and brightens under-eyes and lids
• Ginseng, Lily and Caffeine - come together to visibly reduce the intensity of under-eye bags
• Light-Reflecting Complex - Instantly brightens and illuminates under-eyes and lids

To use, you simply squeeze out a really small bit of the cream and then using the metal applicator, gently massage it into the skin around the eyes, it takes no longer than 5-10 seconds to complete and as someone who seems to have these dark circles, this is quite the miracle worker, it instantly brightens and those small shimmery particles which are part of the Light-Reflecting Complex work their magic but the clue is in what Murad says - you need to use it over time for long-lasting results, it isn't an instant fix, but I already love it.

The second product is the Targeted Pore Corrector (£49/15ml) and this is described as being a bio-tech treatment that virtually erases the look of pores with every use—and decreases pore count over time.

We all know that you cannot shrink the size of your pores, despite claims from numerous brands that you can, they're genetic, it is part of who you are... however, what you can do is target the causes and issues that make them appear bigger and this is where this Targeted Pore Corrector comes in.

With its specially designed applicator, the use of a potent bio-tech copper amino acid blend targets the loss of pore elasticity, something Murad state is a root cause of oversized pores, so pores look smoother and smaller the more you use it.  Again, this isn't a magic fix, it is a product you need to use consistantly to get the results promised and as with the Targeted Eye-Depuffer, it comes with a host of magical ingredients:

• Copper amino acid biotechnology -  delivers a multi-targeted approach to reduce the appearance of pores . This blend has a Patent-pending!​
• Soybean extract - Smooths skin and reduces the appearance of dilated pores, ​
• Ginger extract - Potent antioxidant helps balance skin to reduce shine over time,
• Soft Focus Complex - Delivers unbeatable blurring benefits to make large, dilated pores practically undetectable.

As well as helping to decongest the skin, this corrector also mattifies, so for someone like me who has combination-oily skin, it is really worth its use for that alone. Again the advice when using this is to very gently squeeze out the tiniest amount of Targeted Pore Corrector and then tap directly onto enlarged pores gently with applicator tip, the important part being to gently tap and then once you are finished dab excess cream into skin using your fingertips and leave it to dry completely to see results.  I am quite intrigued to see how this one works, I don't have overly large pores, but I do notice a few of the ones I do have and that is where my concentration with this is.

Then finally where it all began with the Targeted Wrinkle Corrector (£76/15ml) and it is described as being a powerful peptide-meets-hyaluronic treatment virtually erases the look of wrinkles by visibly smoothing and reducing wrinkle intensity instantly, just the tonic for those times when you can’t make it to the derm for a filler.

This corrector can be used for a whole host of lines and wrinkles that bother you which includes:

• Elevens/between the brows (glabella lines)
• Forehead lines
• Crow’s feet/orbital bone
• Sides of mouth
• Top of mouth

Again, it comes packaged in a squeezy tube and features a metal applicator, which when it comes into contact with the skin is instantly soothing and is packed full of amazing ingredients which includes:

• Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 - helps to boost elasticity and to prevent the formation of future wrinkles which are typical with repeated facial expressions
• Bioavailable Hyaluronic Acid - Intensely hydrates to plump and smooth the skin as well as to reduce wrinkle intensity
• Plant-Derived Squalene - Prevents moisture loss to help the skin resist future wrinkles

Again the advice when using this is to very gently squeeze out the tiniest amount of Targeted Wrinkle and then tap directly onto the areas you want to target, but gently with applicator tip, the important part being to gently tap and then once you are finished dab excess cream into skin using your fingertips and leave it to dry.

All of these Targeted Correctors from Murad are not designed to give you an instant fix, they are very clear on this, you need to use them consistently to get the results you need and want to see.

Environ Clarity+ Celebration Trio Gift Set

Environ is a professional skincare brand that is built on science, beauty and care. Their belief is that skin has a life and that Vitamin A, a cornerstone ingredients for this brand, is the Oxygen needed to look beautiful. 

If you have never come as Environ as a brand, which often features in Beauty Advent Calendars, then there are a whole host of gist sets to become acquainted with and the one I am sharing is the Environ Clarity+ Celebration Trio Set. Described as being the ideal collection for anyone who suffers from oily skin, acne conditions and breakouts.  Featuring a trio of products which are designed to:

• Help to reduce breakouts.
• Improve the texture and tone of blemish-prone skin.
• Leave your skin looking and feeling healthier.

In essence, what this kit gives you is a simple to follow skincare routine and to achieve all of the above.

Starting with the Clarity+ Sebu-Wash Gel Cleanser 150ml - Or phase one as environ refer to it. This foaming and mattifying cleanser features Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids that work to gently remove excess surface oils and environmental debris - all without drying out your skin skin and helping it to retain its acid value. Ideal for use both morning and evening as part of this routine.

Phase two within this routine is the Clarity+ Sebu-ACE Lotion (60ml) - This is a non-oily lotion which works to reduce breakouts whilst at the same time improving the texture and tone of blemish-prone skin. Using a combination of lactic acid and moisturisers, the lotion will leave your skin feeling softer and smoother to the touch. Again, it isn't drying on the skin and again, can be used both morning and evening.

Then finally we have the Clarity+ Sebu-ACE Oil 60ml - This product should be used in conjunction with the lotion above in equal parts and again, it is non-greasy and it is formulated with a combination of botanicals, Lactic Acid and vitamins A, C and E that work to control the appearance of breakouts which in turn leaves your skin looking and feeling healthier.

This is such a great gift set for anyone who is looking to have a simple and easy to follow skincare routine and one which is highly effective. It is worth £110.00 but is on sale for just £76 and it features

Seoulista Supercharged Cryo Powered Daily Skin System Gift Set

Meet the Supercharged Cryo Recovery Daily Skin System by Seoulista, the beauty gift for anyone who wants kooky and fun plus it is an absolute bargain too! Over the past few years, ive shared some great gifts from Seoulista, but I think this is my favourite so far.

Designed to help you to maintain a fresh and glowing complexion, this kit features everything you need for that pre or post party prep and is perfect for parched, dry and dehydrated skin.

The gift set itself features a Hydration Super Serum, the Cryo Cool Skin Tool and a handy headband to keep hair free of your face as you relax and pamper yourself. It is worth noting that these products can be purchased separately and there is a host of other serums that can also be purchased.

Starting with the Cryo Cool Skin Tool which uses the power of cryo-technology to soothe, depuff, and lift the complexion for a healthy glow. This innovative device also helps to soothe irritation, reduce the appearance of pores, and the most obvious for anyone who likes the use of cryotherapy, is to encourage lymphatic drainage to help reduce puffiness.

Lightweight in design, the Cryo Tool has thick aluminium cooling plates which remain icy cool to the touch, even if the device is stored at room temperature. 

When the device is placed on the skin, the coldness of the plates constricts the blood vessels which causes your blood to rush away from the surface, this in turns helps with improving circulation and as new blood returns renewed with fresh nutrients to help brighten and firm the complexion for a healthy glow.

As mentioned, this Cryo Tool is designed to be used alongside a Seoulista Serum, so there is a choice of Brightening Super Serum, Calming Super Serum and Hydration Super Serum, the latter is the one I have been using.

The Seoulista Hydration Super Serum has been created by dermatologists and it is described as being a lightweight serum that penetrates the deeper layers of the skin to help stimulate the production of collagen, while larger molecules bind together to moisturise the skin’s surface.

You can choose to use this serum on its own without the Cryo Tool, but it is less fun!  So having cleansed your skin as part of your usual skincare routine, you simply remove the handle from top of the tool and then insert the serum bottle into the space by turning it clockwise to ensure it is fully secure. Once you have done this, you simply press the button to dispense a perfect pea-sized amount of serum and then you simply massage the face with the tool until the serum is fully absorbed.

Perfect for use in the morning to help to de-puff and awaken the skin and also great to use when your skin is feeling hot and irritated to help minimise inflammation and reduce redness.

Currently on offer with Boots for just £30 instead of £38 it makes a great gift and you can your hands on it right now.
