The person behind the formulas

Dr. Howard Murad founded his skincare company in 1989. His professional perspective brought ingredient research into everyday products, but his interests also reached beyond the bathroom shelf.

At a 1990 industry event, he outlined a vision in which skincare professionals worked together and skin care formed part of a wider approach to wellbeing. That connection between topical products and daily habits became a defining part of the brand.

More than a single concern

Hydration, movement and mental wellbeing recur throughout Murad’s story. The brand’s interest in the stress of modern life gives its clinical identity a personal dimension.

The collection itself is organized around different skin needs, from cleansing to moisture and targeted treatments. Each product is one part of that broader outlook: practical skincare informed by a dermatologist’s curiosity about the whole person.
