Murad Lighten and Brighten Eye Treatment Review

Murad Lighten and Brighten Eye Treatment is an eye cream that claims to be able to dramatically improve the appearance of dark circles, under-eye bags and other signs of damage and age. Sold for about $70 for .5 fluid ounces, it does cost quite a bit, but it claims to be worth the price.

It contains hydroquinone, which reduces dark under-eye circles. The palmitoyl tetrapeptide-3 in this product combines with firming and conditioning agents to diminish the emergence of under-eye bags and puffiness. Is Murad Lighten and Brighten Eye Treatment worth the price? We need to see what other ingredients are in this product.

Ingredients

Murad Lighten and Brighten Eye Treatment contains Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 and Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, which are proven ingredients which help reduce wrinkles and thicken the skin. They also boost the production of collagen and tighten up the wrinkles surrounding your eyes.

It also uses hydroquinone, which lightens the skin and restores texture and brightness to your complexion.

Possible Side Effects for Murad Lighten and Brighten Eye Treatment

This product does contains a paraben, which are potentially harmful ingredients commonly found in cheap cosmetics and have been linked to skin irritation condition. As more clinical tests come out, parabens are increasingly coming under fire as a controversial component.

There has also been some debate in the past few years about hydroquinone and its safety, but those claims are unsubstantiated.

Conclusion

While Murad Lighten and Brighten Eye Treatment does contain some effective ingredients that have been proven to improve the skin around the eyes, we would not recommend this product for several reasons. This eye cream is very expensive, and it may not be worth your time or money. It also includes a paraben, which has been shown to cause skin irritation, with other possible unknown side effects. It is simply not worth it to take such an expensive risk.
