The Wrinkle Corrector was formulated during the early days of the pandemic, when in-office Botox treatments weren’t possible and people had to come up with other solutions to hide their wrinkles and fine lines. “Throughout the pandemic, when dermatologist appointments were not as available, we recognized a need for an at-home solution that could successfully address fine lines and wrinkles without a professional service or needle,” Kristen Robinson, Murad’s senior director of new product development, previously told us.
The result? An OTC treatment that really does mimic the effects of Botox.

The Targeted Wrinkle Corrector is Murad’s most popular product for good reason. This potent formula acts like a filler (hence the name) with bioavailable hyaluronic acid to plump and hydrate areas with stubborn wrinkles, including deep lines. In addition to providing a quick fix with hyaluronic acid, the formula also includes hexapeptide, which helps improve the skin’s elasticity and prevents further wrinkling of the skin. Murad customers rave about this product for its Botox-in-a-bottle formula that delivers instant results as well as benefits over time with regular use.
“It does what its review says! Removes forehead wrinkles just like that! Love it!!” one reviewer writes. Another says, “Visibly reduced my forehead wrinkles after couple of weeks. Even my husband noticed the difference. I highly recommend this product.”
Size: 0.5 ounces
Key Ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, hexapeptide, squalane

Sunscreen is one of the most important skin-care products we can apply to our complexion.
