What it is and what it does
Murad Youth Renewal Night Cream is a nourishing night cream for women aged 50+ who are experiencing the visible signs of aging, especially those related to menopause. This powerful cream combines retinol with skin-nourishing ingredients to visibly improve firmness, radiance, and skin tone while minimizing lines and deep wrinkles. Its rich texture absorbs quickly, delivering intense hydration without feeling heavy.
Retinol, a key ingredient, is known for its ability to boost collagen production and accelerate cell turnover, making it essential for reducing the appearance of aging.
The formula also features Soybean Extract and Wild Yam Root Extract, which may help support estrogen-deficient skin, making it particularly beneficial for menopausal women. However, this product is not recommended for men due to its targeted formulation.
Murad Youth Renewal Night Cream is free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, gluten, mineral oil, formaldehyde, and petrolatum. It also excludes animal-derived ingredients and oxybenzone. Please note that the product contains fragrance and synthetic dyes, including Yellow 5 (CI 19140) and Red 4 (CI 14700).

Key ingredients
Soothing antiaging ingredient that gives cells energy. Help prevent recurrence of dark spots and unwanted skin pigment.
Wild yam (Dioscorea villosa) is a North American plant traditionally used in herbal medicine. Its root extract is included in skincare for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties and is often marketed as a natural alternative to hormone replacement therapy due to its supposed phytoestrogen content. However, its estrogenic effects are controversial, as diosgenin, a component of wild yam, can be converted into steroid hormones in a labs setting but not in the skin. Regardless, if you are pregnant or have hyperpigmentation like melasma, you may want to avoid using this ingredient.

This antiaging and hydrating ingredient can radically alter how your skin routine works by affecting penetration and absorption of other ingredients- so make sure you use it in the correct step of your skin care routine.
Glycerin (Glycerol) is the best natural moisturizing ingredient to hydrate skin quickly. May give products a sticky feel.

Questions about this product
Answered by Dr. Leslie Baumann, MD, FAAD · Miami, FL · 200+ partner practices
For menopausal women with dry skin, a retinol product that also addresses estrogen loss is ideal. Murad Youth Renewal Night Cream is a top choice because it not only contains retinol to boost collagen production and reduce wrinkles, but it also features Soybean Extract and Wild Yam Root Extract. These ingredients help counteract the effects of estrogen loss, providing extra nourishment and hydration to support dry, estrogen-deficient skin. This combination makes it especially effective for women experiencing the unique skin challenges of menopause.
Men should not use Murad Youth Renewal Night Cream. The product is specifically formulated for women, particularly those going through menopause, and contains ingredients like Soybean Extract and Wild Yam Root Extract, which can have estrogen-like effects on the skin. These ingredients are designed to address the skin concerns related to estrogen loss, which are not typically relevant for men.
