Reviews
This product is AMAZING!
"I rarely write reviews, but this completely cleared my hormonal acne! At 26, I suddenly developed painful breakouts along my chin and jawline. I tried high-end organic brands and aesthetician recommendations, but nothing worked. Finally, I returned to my old faithful teenage brand, Murad. I bought this product along with the face wash and a few other items from their acne line and BOOM! a month and a half later, my skin is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend!"
No more shots
"The best deep acne treatment! When I feel a deep pimple coming, a little dab goes away. If it’s already in a serious state, the first few days the pimple will swell but soon go down and you may see a head come to the surface! Saved me a few steroid shots"
Fantastic product for deep pimples/cysts caused by working in the heat
"I’m always in heat, so I’m sweaty, and I breakout sometimes where my glasses sit on my face. Sometimes pimples turn into deep ones because of that. This product is AMAZING! I also like mixing it w Boil Eaze because of the thymol ingredient in it, but it also has some pain reliever too. I dont need to mix the products because each works great, but together, they work synergistically. I only mix them for overnight and apply a little band-aid to keep everything there while I sleep. I will say that I almost didnt order this product because salicylic acid usually has the opposite effect on me - causes pimples to get worse. This product surprised me. It works fantastically. If I ever stop working in heat and being sweaty, this problem will probably stop, but in the meantime - I will always have this item ready! Some other points: -I applied morning (by itself) and night (with boil eaze and a bandaid). It was never drying. -This product never burned my skin. Instead, it felt relief and calm. -I didnt notice any scent to it. -I used a qtip to dip in the bottle and apply. -I dont have dry or oily skin. My skin is pretty neutral, but always in heat so I sweat a lot. -I’m in the sun too, and this product didnt cause any issues in the sun. I never wear sunscreen or products with sunscreen/oils in lotions that act like sunscreen. -My skin is probably getting into mature skin. Mid-40s. Hope this helps someone else out! Buy it and try it. It’s worth the money."
Hormonal acne
"This is THE only product that has cured my hormonal acne, will continue buying."
Its a Genie in a BOTTLE!!
"BABYYYY!! Just a DAB. . . on your breakout. DO NOT DOUBLE DIP LADIES!!!!!! THAT IS NASTY and you will fully contaminate your product! This is great for acne. This cleared up my hormonal issues during that time of the month. Dr. Murad Please bring back the Invisblur primer"
Really helps with calming HS
"Really helps with calming HS cysts. Grateful for this product from Murad ❤️"
"Es un producto excelente"
Obsessed
"It’s truly wild how this calms a big under the skin zit overnight"
Totally recommend!
"I’m 50 and haven’t had acne since I was a teenager. I got a wicked breakout on my jawline with deep and painful below surface acne. I tried everything, and they just kept coming and some combined to make me utterly miserable. I ordered this online and immediately applied it and within hours the pain had subsided and the redness and size subdued. 100% recommend!"
Q&A
- Can it be used on popped pimple?
- Yes, you can continue to treat the blemish until it heals.
- What happened to the Rapid Relief Acne Spot Treatment in a 1.7 fluid ounce tube? I don't see it on your site and can't locate it in any beauty supply stores. Note: I'm looking for the 1.7 ounce size, not the small travel size. Note: I'm looking for the 1.7 fluid ounce size not the tiny travel size.
- That size of the spot treatment is discontinued. We prioritize current inventory, guided by customer demand and purchasing trends.
- Is this treatment the same as the Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel (Treat/Repair) that you had many years ago that came in the monthly subscriber kit? I still have a tiny bit left and it's the best treatment ever. To think that I still have some left and It still works miracles. I wish you would bring it back. Does this Deep Relief Acne Treatment work the same? The one I have truly repairs the skin.
- It is fairly similar. It is not a treatment for all over, just to specific breakouts but it contains glycolic and salicylic acid like the Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel.
- Does this work for closed comedones?
- Yes! The Deep Relief Acne Treatment is a wonderful treatment option for closed comedones.
- Can I use this a s spot treatment on top of the outsmart acne clarifying treatment?
- No, in this case you want the Deep Relief by itself as to get the maximum benefit.
