Only Murad's skincare serums have smart retinol technology that balances a fast-acting retinoid, delayed-release retinol and a retinol booster for rapid results while still being gentle on skin, plus a dose of hydrating hyaluronic acid so common retinol issues like dryness are practically a non-issue

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What does Retinol Youth Renewal Serum do?

    It helps improve skin texture, firmness, and tone, while delivering retinol-based actives and hydrating ingredients.

    Which retinol technologies are in this serum?

    Retinol Tri-Active Technology is a blend with a fast-acting retinoid, delayed-release retinol, and a retinol booster for rapid results while still being gentle on skin.

    How do I use Retinol Youth Renewal Serum?

    Apply retinol at night after cleansing and toning but before moisturizer. Use every other night, or use 2-3 times per week and gradually increase to nightly use as your skin builds tolerance. Apply SPF 30 or higher in the morning as retinal increases sun sensitivity.

    Is Retinol Youth Renewal Serum suitable for sensitive skin?

    This product has been tested safe for sensitive skin. However, we advise performing a patch test and introducing the serum gradually into your routine, as well as buffering with a moisturizer.

    Does Retinol Youth Renewal Serum contain fragrance?

    Yes. The formula in Retinol Youth Renewal Serum includes added fragrance (parfum) and fragrance components.

    What are the key ingredients in Retinol Youth Renewal Serum?

    Key actives include retinol, hydroxypinacolone retinoate, sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid), ceramide NP, squalane and Swertia extract.

    Will Retinol Youth Renewal Serum dry out my skin?

    Retinoids can be drying for some users. If needed, layer a moisturizer over the serum or use less frequently to minimize dryness.

    Can I use Retinol Youth Renewal Serum with other retinoids or actives?

    To reduce irritation, introduce other retinoids or strong actives slowly. Consider alternating nights or using a buffering step in your routine. However, Retinol Youth Renewal Serum can be layered with Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream and Retinol Youth Renewal Night Serum.

    Is Retinol Youth Renewal Serum formulated without animal-derived ingredients?

    Yes, this serum is formulated without animal-derived ingredients.

    Are there any specific areas to avoid applying Retinol Youth Renewal Serum?

    Apply Retinol Youth Renewal Serum to your face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Keep the serum below the orbital bone and away from your lips. For the delicate eye area, use a product specifically formulated for that zone, like Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum.

    Can I use Retinol Youth Renewal Serum with my dark spot serum?

    If you're using other strong actives such as AHAs or vitamin C, introduce this serum gradually to avoid irritation. Use your dark spot serum during the day, and retinal/retinol at night. Start by alternating nights with retinal/retinol or reducing frequency until your skin builds tolerance, then adjust based on how your skin responds. Always apply broad-spectrum SPF during the day when using retinoids, brightening, or exfoliating serums to protect skin and prevent new dark spots from forming.

    Can I use Retinol Youth Renewal Serum while pregnant or breastfeeding?

    Murad carefully assesses our products and ingredients to help ensure they are safe for use. Because every person and pregnancy is unique, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider if you have any questions about product use during pregnancy or lactation. Please note, this product contains retinoids, which are not recommended for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
