Murad Night Fix Enzyme Treatment review

I have written about Murad's latest product range- the Prebiotic series HERE.

Today, I am going to review their star product, the Night Fix Enzyme Treatment under the Prebiotic range.
The colour is very outstanding. The whole range is in a deep purple colour and you will never be able to miss it. Packaging is a win, plus the pump bottle is so easy to use without the hassle of a cap.

Step 4 in the skincare regime which acts as a treatment at night.

Did you know that skin looses water 3 times faster at night?
Sleep is the ideal time to flood the skin with ingredients that fuel cellular recovery and repair. This treatment repairs skin overnight to give a radiant, healthier-looking skin associated with a good night's sleep.

Who is it for?
-All skin types
-Solution for lines and wrinkles, dryness and dehydration
-Dullness and loss of radiance and rough texture
-Dermatologist developed, cruelty free, safe for sensitive skin

Murad therefore raises the bar by incorporating ingredients that can help skin retain water, prevent overnight skin dehydration, while supporting natural repair. The chronopeptide treatment found in the formula, syncs up with the body’s circadian rhythm to support natural repair and lends vibrancy to your skin. While the tri-enzyme formula is made of purified red and green microalgae, forming three encapsulated enzymes that provide potent antioxidant protection and detoxification to reduce visible signs of premature aging such as loss of elasticity, lines and wrinkles.

This tri-enzyme treatment supports natural repair combined with encapsulated aroma technology to prepare the senses for a deep, restful sleep for healthier-looking skin by morning.

Now, let's put this to test. Used this for over a week combined with the Prebiotic range of products. Let's see my step by step skin regime.

 I start off with the Prebiotic 4-in-1 MultiCleanser to wash off my makeup and cleanse my face to prep for my skincare at night. Here I am using the travel size product.

Then, I move on to the Prebiotic 3-in-1 MultiMist to refresh and hydrate my skin so that it can absorb the next skincare better.
The MultiMist is one of favourite product as well because the mist is very fine and really absorbs fast into skin.

Now, it's time to moisturise. 
I'm currently using the Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream.

And then the last step is the Night Fix Enzyme Treatment. 
Pump 1-2 dollop and apply.

The texture is matte and non greasy.

Easily absorbed into skin without any leftover feeling. So it's non sticky to my pillow.

Massage over face and neck as the last step of the skin regime. 

The night time ritual!
Keep the Night Fix Enzyme Treatment near your bed so you can smooth over skin just before lying down. Ensure all devices are switched off or in a do not disturb mode. Close curtains and remove any light sources. After applying, cup hands over nose and take 3 deep breaths in through the nose counting to three during the process.
The aroma technology which is shown in clinical trials enhance sleep quality which goes beyond traditional aromatherapy and marries the science of sleep with power of scent. The Night Fix contains the following scent:

-Violet which provides delicate soothing and brings comfort in mind
- Cedarwood which exudes earthy aroma that helps elevate mood, calm the mind, relax and overcome stress
-Lemon which purifies and cleanses that helps lift the day’s tension to invite positive energy and happiness

Here's the results!
After the wedding and all the stress and thick makeup, my skin was going downhill and I needed an effective routine for skin reparation on SOS.
Just one night of the ritual and this is the morning after result. 
Before usage, skin was dehydrated, pinkish due to sensitive skin and dry and flaky but oily on the T-zone parts. Pores were also open and dry. After one night of usage, skin looks refreshed, awakened, more hydrated and has some colour to it other than a pale dull look.

After one week of usage, I can see more results on my skin:

 My chin area had a lot of breakouts previously and following a strict night ritual repaired my skin and blemishes were disappearing.

After one week, skin is more clear with improved texture, refreshed and glowing. Dry skin no more around the cheek areas. Skin feels smoother as well because it is more moisturised and hydrated as compared before.

Super happy with the results!
Thank you so much to the star product, Murad Night Fix Enzyme Treatment for repairing my skin during my sleep. It's as easy as that. Let it work its' magic while you sleep.
All you need to do is just to purchase it at any Murad stores or online here: http://www.Murad.com.my

The Murad Night Fix Enzyme Treatment retails for RM398 for 30ml.

Murad Prebiotic series

The surface of our skin is home to carefully balanced collection of trillions of living organism such as bacteria and yeast. This microbiome that’s made up of bacteria and yeast provides the skin with much needed nutrients and helps create a barrier against assaults which leads to a healthy and amazing looking skin.

Today, our preoccupation with anti-bacterial products and harsh cleansers not only destroys bad bacteria, but also the good bacteria that’s maintaining our skin’s ecosystem. Couple that with the harsh environmental condition (exposure to allergen and toxin), as well other factors such as lifestyle, age, emotion, community, diet, and hygiene products we find ourselves battling with skin issues.

To help solve this problem, Murad Malaysia launched its latest invention, the Prebiotic Series: 

1. Murad’s Prebiotic 4-in-1 MultiCleanser to cleanse, hydrate and balance the skin;
2. Prebiotic 3-in-1 MultiMist to help nourish the skin with prebiotics to achieve a balanced microbiome; and 
3. Murad’s Night Fix Enzyme Treatment to encourage overnight skin repair through ingredients inspired by the science of sleep.


PREBIOTIC 4-IN-1 MULTICLEANSER, INFUSES MOISTURE UP TO 15 LAYERS


With this Prebiotic 4-in-1 Multicleanser, you get everything your skin will ever need in one bottle. This gel-to-oil, makeup-removing cleanser is formulated to balance the skin’s microbiome by nourishing it with prebiotics to promote healthier-looking skin. It can be used to clean off makeup, dirt and excess oil, reduce dryness and dehydration, as well as to improve uneven skin texture.

Ideal for all skin types (even sensitive ones), this 4-in-1, non-drying formula features star ingredients that can be used in the morning and at night. The Plant-based emollient, hemisqualane that’s derived from sugar cane, effectively dissolves eye, lip and face makeup (including water-proof) in one cleanse while simultaneously helping to nourish the skin. Cyclic peptid, is a unique cleansing peptide that is 300 times more efficient than traditional surfactants that cleanses without causing irritation. It helps trap oil and debris, and allow it to be easily rinsed from skin without stripping natural facial oils. The presence of prebiotic powder nourishes good bacteria to promote a healthy balance, while hyaluronic acid and prebiotic hydrating sugars act as softening and smoothing agents they reinforce skin’s natural hydration.

Murad’s Prebiotic 4-in-1 Multicleanser can be applied directly to dry skin and massaged thoroughly over face and eyes. Continue massaging the product into the skin with wet hands to create a light, milky emulsion. Your skin will instantly and noticeably look healthy and feels soft to the touch.

I find the texture very easy to lather and it really makes skin moisturised after cleansing.

PREBIOTIC 3-IN-1 MULTIMIST, THE KEY TO ALL DAY HYDRATION

This 3-in-1 solution is the trifecta for healthy skin – it eliminates dehydration and dullness, minimizes fine lines and wrinkles and act as a priming and makeup setting agent. It works its magic by  promoting enrichment of good bacteria and keeping the skin well hydrated via 3 key ingredients: prebiotic hydrating sugars that help to reinforce and boost skin’s natural hydration reserves for a smooth, healthy barrier, while the yeast peptide aids in locking in skin’s natural moisture levels to promote healthy, hydrated skin, which, in turn, supports an ideal environment for a healthy microbiome.

As a make-up setting agent, a multi-tasking bipolymer complex forms a natural, breathable, surface smoothing second skin that helps prime and set makeup to ensure longer wearing makeup. You can also mist over makeup brushes then dip into powders to get the most out of your colours.

MultiMist can be misted onto the skin either after cleansing/under makeup to prime or after makeup to set. It can also be used to refresh anytime, delivering hydration throughout the day.

If you need a refresher mist, this is it! Absorbs rather easily and very versatile that you can pop one in your bag.

NIGHT FIX ENZYME TREATMENT

A recent study shows that the key to maintaining a youthful looking skin is having sufficient sleep. Those who struggle less with falling asleep (generally within 1 hour), appear 2.5 years younger than those who do. When we’re sleeping at night, our body goes into makeover mode (mitosis state) where our cells renew and repair between the magic hours of 11 and midnight. This is when cells need and absorb nutrients the most, and supplying our body with everything it needs help the anti-aging function go into overdrive.

Understanding the importance of sleep and its effect on the skin, Murad raises the bar with Night Fix Enzyme Treatment that encourages the skin to repair itself overnight. As the recent study also found that the skin loses water three times faster at night, Murad incorporated ingredients that can help skin retain water, prevent overnight skin dehydration, while supporting natural repair. As a result, you will notice visibly minimized fine lines, a generous boost of hydration and more radiant looking complexion.

This outstanding innovation consists of ingredients that act as an enhancement and customization to your current regimen (Murad’s traditional 3-step process). The chronopeptide treatment found in the formula, syncs up with the body’s circadian rhythm to support natural repair and lends vibrancy to your skin. While the tri-enzyme formula is made of purified red and green microalgae, forming three encapsulated enzymes that provide potent antioxidant protection and detoxification to reduce visible signs of premature aging such as loss of elasticity, lines and wrinkles.

Finally, its patent-pending aroma technology that combines the science of sleep with the power of scent has been shown in clinical trials to have the benefit of enhancing sleep quality. The aroma technology prepares the mind and senses for deep, restful sleep resulting in healthier-looking skin by the time you wake up in the morning.


I am currently using this so my skin looks beautiful just in time for my wedding =)
It feels matte, smells amazing and works its magic at night for a beautiful skin in the morning.

It features ingredients designed to keep you in a rested state such as violet, which is delicate, soothing and brings comfort to the mind; Cedarwood which exudes earthy aroma that helps elevate mood, relax and overcome stress; And lemon which purifies and cleanses, and helping lift the day’s tension to invite positive energy.

Murad even collaborated with Juice Works to come out with a juice drink for us at the event. How cool!

Thank you Murad =)

Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Range + Giveaway!!

I have been a big fan of Murad products ever since young. I am also a big believer of this brand because it does wonders and my mom and I have been using Murad products over the years. In fact, my monthly facial these days are with Murad and I only trust the best for my skin =) Honestly, it can be pricey at times, but because it works for my skin, my bank account has to sacrifice HAHA It is true to its caption that Murad is a high performance, clinical skincare providing dramatic results.

And ooh if you scroll down, there's a GIVEAWAY waiting for you so be sure to participate in it and win yourself something fantastic from Murad ^_^

Retinol Youth Renewal Serum was launched previously and now joining the powerhouse serum are Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum and Night Cream featuring Murad’s breakthrough Retinol Tri-Active Technology:

1. Fast-acting Retinoid accelerates results by boosting cellular turnover;
2. Time-released Retinol delivers sustained benefits by encapsulating Retinol in a lipid shell that creates a thin veil of ceramides and antioxidants that helps prevent dryness and minimize potential irritation; and
3. Retinol booster enhances efficacy by acting like a magnet to help enhance skin’s receptivity to Retinol’s benefits

This is a proprietary combination of 3 retinol technologies which quickly and visibly minimise lines and deep wrinkles, evens skin tone and boosts radiance.

The launch was held recently and the Retinol range will be part of the Resurgence range (which is the green colour range) in the Murad series.


While many retinol products rely on a single form of retinol and can take several weeks to become noticeable, Murad’s formula features a combination of three retinol technologies to deliver quick and visible results while being gentle.

Mr David Whyte, Murad Global Expert who flew in from Australia talked about how awesome this range is and to answer issues pertaining to our skin and how this range can help combat certain issues. And you wouldn't be able to guess his age because he looks way younger than his actual age. His secret? Murad of course!

Okay, there is so much talk on retinol here. Do you know what is it? Mr David explained that retinol is derived from Vitamin A, and helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles by rejuvenating the look of collagen-depleted skin.

The three main products are:
-Retinol Youth Renewal Serum
-Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum
-Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream

Thanks to Murad, I have the privilege to try all three products. These three products are mainly for night care so after a long day at work, pamper your skin with Murad to rejuvenate and radiate skin. Retinol increases sun sensitivity so it's best used at night and be sure to protect skin with a sunblock the next day.

After cleansing, the next step is to treat your skin.

Retinol Youth Renewal Serum, 30ml 
Btw, did you see that green card which says 'The best health tip- SMILE'?
That's included in the product box and Dr Howard Murad has this aim to inspire and encourage people to care for themselves, inside out. This is not just a skincare brand but also dedicates itself to inspire people to live a healthy life.

Okay I digress haha I'm just really inspired by this brand. Anyway, this Retinol Youth Renewal Serum quickly and visibly minimises lines and deep wrinkles, evens skin tone and boosts radiance for more vibrant, youthful-looking skin. Studies have shown that 93% saw a reduction in line and wrinkles in 2-4 weeks. That's really fast!

As you can see, although it's named serum but it's more of a lightweight cream in my opinion. The pump bottle is super convenient and 1 full pump is more than enough because you only need a thin film on the face.

After spreading on my face, I realised it absorbs rather quickly and it felt like nothing which is perfect for my oily/combination skin. I dislike those which stays on my face leaving it greasy the next morning.

I have been using it for almost a week and although there were no major improvement but I love that there were no breakouts whatsoever =)

Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum, 15ml
'Reduce complexity in your life'- Howard Murad

Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum is said to dramatically improve all key signs of ageing around the eyes. This potent treatment minimises the look of wrinkles and crow feet while infusing the skin with nutrient-rich Marine Kelp Complex to help firm the skin and visibly brighten dark circles over time. Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream also features a Peptide-rich Red Algae Extract that improves firmness and elasticity restoring a more youthful and vibrant complexion for a more defined contour and an illuminated appearance.

Again, just 1 pump will do and it's a lightweight cream texture as well.

Dotted the cream around my eye area and massage around it in circular motion.
It's very lightweight and it's really the perfect texture for the delicate eye area.

Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum:
1. Studies have shown that 93% saw a reduction in lines and wrinkles
2. 87% noticed firmer skin
3. More revitalised and youthful looking eyes in just 1 week

As you can notice, I have very visible eye bags and dark eye circle. I have been battling it for quite some time now. Can't wait for this Eye Serum to show me positive results =)

Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream, 50ml 

Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream activates youth while you sleep. This luxurious night cream delivers transformative results to visibly minimise lines and wrinkles and smooth skin's texture. Peptide-rich Red Algae Extract improves skin firmness and elasticity while soothing skin to restore youthful contours. The intensely nourishing formula melts into skin for a supple, vibrant complexion.

This is a rather clever invention. I am quite a particular person when it comes to hygiene especially with my skin care products and because this cream can be used with a pump, it makes it all so hygienic and I love using it this way. I don't have to stick my finger to dig out my moisturiser! Plus, it has the right amount of quantity through the pump. Just pump once is enough.

Wrinkles be gone! Dab it all over and as you can see, I'm having fun with my skincare routine! That's how it should always be =)

When I first tried the cream, I was actually quite worried about its richness because of my oily skin. But Mr David said he has oily skin too and it works perfectly for him. So I needn't worry. True enough, when I applied on my face, it does not have a greasy/sticky feeling. In fact, it absorbed quickly leaving my skin with a matte feeling and I wake up the next day without a shiny forehead!


I'm really quite satisfied with using all 3 retinol products. It works well for my oily/combination skin and I did not suffer any breakouts. My skin feels thoroughly moisturised and nourished the next day. It makes it easier to put on my makeup as well. I have also realised less panda eyes after 1 week usage of the eye cream hehe

Further, all the above products are very lightly fragrant. The plus point is that the fragrance are natural because they are botanical based. No fragrance oil etc. The scent comes from the likes of peach, cucumber, honey etc which are all fresh and guaranteed natural!

You must be wondering when should you start using retinol based products suitable for anti ageing? Well, it can used as early as in your 20s and above. It can be a preventive measure or a corrective measure. If you use it when you're young, it helps skin resist future signs of ageing and prevents early signs of ageing. It can also help protect skin's youthful look and target advancing collagen loss as well as minimises most advanced signs of ageing by lifting, firming and softening deep wrinkles. For me, I'm in my late 20s and I'm hoping to slow down the ageing process of my skin.

Also, you can mix and match different ranges of Murad's products. That's the beauty of it. If you have acne and/or oily skin, the retinol range can be suitable for your skin as well because Vitamin A helps to treat acne and since this range is used at night, it is suitable for oily skin. For those with sensitive skin, the Retinol Tri Active technology reduces inflammation to build skin stronger. So, basically, it really is suitable for all skin types and for a wide age range! How awesome is that?
