Would keep using

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Made my skin feel healthy, it didn’t dry out my skin but also didn’t make it feel super greasy! It doesn’t have an overwhelming scent that would cause my skin to be irritated!

Not the best

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sunscreen from Murad was interesting. However I did find that it was hard to blend upon first use. It leaves a slight white cast on me and if not blended properly makes my makeup pill slightly. I’m still trying to learn how to use it. I will say though it did not have a strong mineral sunscreen smell but that’s the only pro I have for it.

MURAD

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using this, the first thing I noticed was how smooth and matte my skin looked right after I put it on. It doesn’t feel heavy or greasy at all — it almost feels like it blurs my pores a little bit, which I definitely appreciate on the days I’m not wearing makeup.

Murad SPF

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sunscreen was nice to try! I love its matte finish that feels powdery on the skin. The SPF is great for everyday use but is also sufficient enough for sunnier excursions. It is a little viscous, so the application takes a little longer to spread but it doesn’t hinder the use of it. Overall a good sunscreen.

Moisturizer with SPF 50

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No i don’t think this product from Murad has a scent besides smelling like sunscreen/moisturizer. This product felt super hydrating and smooth only after applying on my face. There’s was also no sheer color left behind. The applicator is great and cool different than other moisturizer’s with SPF that I have used.

Not the sunscreen for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t know how I feel about this product. It felt like this wasn’t really a mattifying product. This also felt so heavy on my skin and just felt like it weighed down on my face. I also could just smell that whole sunscreen smell. The packaging is pretty nice and dispenses the product well. I just can’t use a lot of this product on my face.

works great under makeup

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the texture of the sunscreen. It works perfectly under my Makeup and last all day my skin is protected. I love the matte texture. It keeps my face dry and doesn’t move around too much. The packaging is super cute. There is no scent and you get a bang for your buck.

Citrus sunscreen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It feels more like a soft, lightweight primer than a heavy sunscreen, which surprised me in a good way. When I apply it, it goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly, and gives my skin a nice matte finish without feeling dry or tight. I have combination skin, and this does a great job keeping the shine away throughout the day, especially in my T-zone area. My pores look more blurred when I wear it, and I notice my makeup applies better on top of it too. The scent in my opinion is subtle, but it’s there. It smells clean and slightly herbal, kind of like a soft citrus and tea tree blend, but it fades quickly once it’s on my skin. I like it, it makes the application feel more refreshing without being overpowering or like a strong perfume fragrance. The sunscreen didn’t irritate my skin at all, which is always a plus for me with scented products. On really hot and humid days, I did notice a bit of shine peeking through by the afternoon, but nothing too bad and I still feel like my skin looks smoother than usual.

Matte for the win!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that this sunscreen has a matte finish. The fact that it includes actives as well is also a plus. The packaging is small and somewhat pricey but definitely worth it. The texture is a bit thicker as well just an FYI.

It’s ok

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked this product initially, but I don’t feel like it made my skin matte at all. It also wasn’t very hydrating. I do like that it contains spf and it doesn’t have a smell to it.

Amazing on the skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this sunscreen! It was so smooth and felt amazing on my skin. I really like how it wasn’t overly scented and the pump made it so easy to use. I didn’t feel greasy either which I really appreciated!

All in one for summer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Murad Superactive Moisturizer SPF 50 Mattifying Oil + Pore Control, and I’m really loving it! The salicylic acid has smoothed my skin and minimized pores, while the oil trapping microspheres keep me shine free all day. Plus, the SPF 50 is a bonus it layers perfectly under makeup without leaving a white cast. It’s lightweight and doesn’t clog my pores. Definitely a keeper in my skincare routine!

Grade A SPH!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Murad has been in my skin care rotation for years. This SPH works great for both a smoothe SPH and a moisturizer. I've noticed significantly less tanning effects on my face this year. 5 stars!
