Zeda’s clinical take
SA Murad Master Clinician of the Year
“Stress shows up on skin before it shows up anywhere else — dryness, redness, reactivity. This is the moisturiser I reach for when a patient’s skin is overwhelmed. The shea and macadamia combination is deeply nourishing without being heavy, and the redness reduction results are clinically significant.”
Recommended for: dry to severely dry skin, stressed or environmentally damaged skin, redness, sensitivity, post-treatment recovery
For Dry to Severely Dry Skin Types, Whether Environmental or Triggered by Lifestyle
Hormonal changes, aggressive beauty routines, psychological stress and fatigue can all cause seriously stressed-out skin — extremely dry, irritated, red and out of balance. Dr. Murad has been studying the stressful impacts of environment, nutrition and lifestyle on skin since 1972. Intense Recovery Cream is formulated with ingredients to offset symptoms of skin stress and boost skin’s resilience so it comes back stronger.
