Best of Murad

I have tried all of the SPF moisturizers made by murad, and i like this one the most. My makeup does not pill when i layer it, but with the other formulations it does. It is hydrating but not too heavy. I am 40, but have oil prone skin. I would have thought the mattifying or retinol alternative versions would have been better for me on that basis, but no - this is THE ONE. Also, I wear it on my neck and chest, and one thing that drives me crazy about a LOT of SPFs is that they never really settle in and when my hair touches my neck, it gets disgusting. This formulation absorbs well and i dont get the icky feeling hair problem when i leave my hair down

I hate how good this is

I was fortunate to receive the in my Ipsy box and instantly fell in love. My face always feels hydrated without a greasy texture AND it holds up to sweat induced shifts as a caregiver. I just can’t quite justify the price to mys of

Absolutely not

I’m not sure how there are good reviews for this product. I got this in my Ipsy bag and have never had a sunscreen pill on me so bad. I’ll use it alone after exfoliating and STILL it will pill. I’ve looked in the mirror after an hour and just have balls of sunscreen all over my face. Can’t not recommend this strong enough. Horrible.

Holy grail SPF as someone who has tried everything (literally) under the sun. Most unproblematic sunscreen: never breaks me out, no white cast, no pilling, actually helps my skin! 🙌🏼

A Must-Have SPF

As someone who has worked in the beauty industry for over a decade and tried hundreds of SPFs, as well as being a melanoma skin cancer survivor, I take my SPFs very seriously. This SPF 50 (Broad Spectrum/PA ++++) w/ Vitamin C has become my new favorite and has made me a repeat buyer. It melts into your skin without a white cast, then leaves your skin noticeably "brighter", plump and youthful. Zero pilling with makeup, nor any breakouts. It's gentle yet a powerful skin protector. Highly recommend.

Great product, poor packaging

I used the previous version of this product for years. This version has a higher spf rating and is therefore slightly thicker. Istilllike it, but only gave it a 4 because of the foolishly designed upside down pump that stopped working after a couple of weeks. Wish they would redesign the container!

Great for a quick routine and glow

I use this product alone after cleansing and I love it. My face is glowing but not greasy and I love the light pleasant citrus scent. Just a heads up, and this goes for many moisturizers, definitely wait a bit before adding makeup because it will pill.

I’m not a fan of this formula. I used the Essential C Day Moisture for years under my foundation. It was perfect. This one is thick and doesn’t have enough slip or moisture for good makeup prep. I wish all these companies would stop changing their best products

Bring back the old formula

I used to use this moisturizer all the time and it was my go to always in my bag. It feels like they changed the formulation and I no longer like it. The smell used to be this wonderful citrus smell and now it smells like old sunscreen to me. If they bring back the old formulation I’d be so happy!
