For Dry to Severely Dry Skin Types, Whether Environmental or Triggered by Lifestyle
Did you know all sorts of things can wreak havoc on your skin—hormonal changes, aggressive beauty routines…not to mention psychological stress and fatigue? The result is seriously stressed-out skin that’s extremely dry, irritated, red and out of balance. Dr. Murad has been studying the stressful impacts of the environment, nutrition and lifestyle on skin and overall wellness since 1972. That’s why he formulated Intense Recovery Cream, “our most luxurious moisturiser to date, customised with ingredients to offset symptoms of skin stress and boost skin’s resilience so it comes back stronger.” – Howard Murad, M.D.
