My Go To Moisturiser

"Daily Defense Cream has been my go to this winter. Its helped My skin Combat cold mornings far better than usual. I have incorporated it into my morning skincare routine and have found it to be deeply nourishing and moisturising. It has particularly helped me achieve a flawless finish when wearing foundationn. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends!"

The one and only

"I can’t rave enough about this product knowing how much we people with eczema are actually neglected by other “skincare” brands! This cream gets instantly absorbed by the skin and won’t sit on top looking greasy! The one thing that sold me on this product was that it is ophthalmologist approved for use around the eyes! I love Murad’s eczema line!"

Sumran F. (5/5)

Best moisturizer for sensitive skin EVER

"This feels like silk on my skin! I love it"

Robyn P. (5/5)

Gentle relief

"If you have itchy skin that you can’t (or shouldn’t) scratch, this is the cream for you. It soothes that sensation that makes you want to scratch and damage your skin quickly."

Peggy R. (5/5)

Hydrates & Calms

"I put this on my eye lids or other parts of my body and it is an instant relief and quickly reduces the red blotchy flare up. I put a small amount on the upper eyelid right underneath the brow. There is no burning or stinging sensation. It smells super good and is a great hydration product for the winter as well."

Jacquelyn (5/5)

I love it!

"I tried beef tallow and it dried out my skin pretty bad and made it flare up. BUT!!!! I love this cream so much! I barely have any skin issues anymore!"

Bianca N. (5/5)

Love this product!

"Bought for my temperamental eczema prone skin. I’ve tried so many products over the years and am used to trying things claiming to be for sensitive skin and then having to throw them away. I couldn’t believe how good this was! Its so gentle, I am even able to use it around my eyes while I am having a flare up. There is no scent, it’s thick enough to be super moisturising, but light enough that it sinks straight in. I’d highly highly recommend!"
