I got a delux sample of this in my free beauty tube from New Beauty magazine. I just started using it yesterday. Has anyone tried this?
Here's what the website says about it:

Active Radiance Serum helps to restore tone and smooth texture and is clinically proven to improve skin firmness by up to 63% in just 15 minutes.
Additional features and ingredients:
* Resilient-C Complex™ maximizes collagen production and skin brightening while providing all-day free radical protection

That is an impressive list of ingredients. You will have to let us know how it works for you. I hope someone chimes in that has used it for a while.  |

I'll let you know once my sample is done. I am thinking it is only a 1 week sample, but I possibly could get 2 weeks out of it! |

| I like Murad products. I really want to try the Resurgance Night Cream. It's got great reviews. |

I have it, but I have tooooo many products that I keep switching though!! I like the Murad line, also the supplements in the line as well.
I do like the product though, I need to use it more often though to give it a fair review.  |

| So, I have been using this for 3 days now and interestingly I am getting flakes on different parts of my face. I am pretty surprised by this as I have tough skin that has never really been affected by glycolic acid! |

| My 1 week experiment ended today. While this is a nice product (and if it was not so expensive, I think I might actually purchase this due to both the C and glycolic acid in it), I did not see any visible brightening or improvement in the 1 week, as Murad states will happen! |

Well, I can say that I never have!  Thought if I have a sample of something that makes claims like this, I love to try it out. Not saying that one should see results in that quick of a time, but then the manufacturer should not be making those claims! |

There's the rub, I love trying samples but I don't believe a week is enough time to see results from most any topical! I agree they shouldn't make the outrageous claims, it may well be a great product if used long enough but false expectations can truly turn us off. |
