Originating in 1989, Dr Murad is the brainchild of certified dermatologist, trained pharmacist and Associate Clinical Professor, Doctor Howard Murad. The first brand dedicated to clinical skincare products, Dr Murad transformed the standard 'cleanse, tone and moisturise' regime by combining cleansing and toning in one unique step. A firm believer that skincare and diet go hand in hand, Murad champions the use of dietary supplements to improve the health and appearance of skin by individually targeting and improving the strength of each cell in the body. Today, Murad have utilised this knowledge to develop a 5-in-1 anti-ageing product that blurs, primes, protects and moisturisers for a smooth, flawless complexion.
