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. “We created Intense Recovery Cream to deliver what helps today\'s skin look and feel healthy in a modern world. It relieves visible symptoms of skin stress, delivers quick comfort, strengthens the barrier, calms irritation, and boosts skin\'s resilience so skin can recover and come back stronger.”- Howard Murad, M.D.
