Reviews
Amazing Sunscreen!
"I loved this sunscreen especially since i go on walks and i am prone to getting dark spots very fast! I have noticed that this sunscreen has HELPED tremendously! I will definitely be repurchasing except the only thing is the applicator doesn’t work with getting the screen out that well."
Daily moisturizer
"Love murad. Been using it for years"
Prefer the original
"My daughter and I much preferred the original spf 30 formula. This one feels much thicker and heavier. You can smell the sunblock in it. I loved the spf 30 version because it did not have that smell and felt more moisturizing. It was light under my make up. Since we have been using the spf 50 for the last few weeks my skin have been having frequent breakouts I haven't had in years. Please bring back the original formula."
Great. I have sensitive skin, age 53, and I had no sensitivity at all.
"Great product!"
Wonderful moisturizer with SPF
"I wear this everyday. Even under my makeup. It goes on easily, without a white hue and isn't greasy. It doesn't feel thick on my skin."
Superactive Moisturizer
"I love the way it feels on my skin"
Original form of the versus new formula
"I’ve used the original formula for at least eight years and I’ve just tried the new formula and I don’t like it as much. Is there any way to get the original?"
This is my fav!
"This is the only facial sunscreen I swear by. I’ve recommended it to so many people with my same skin issues!! 5000/10"
Great to find a skin
"Great to find a skin brightening day moisturizer with SPF 50! Goes on smoothly and doesn’t flake like most of the brands I’ve tried. Switched to this after my usual go to from Dr. Pericone became unavailable from Amazon."
Q&A
- Can my 11yo daughter use this product? I swear by it & I have sensitive skin. I prefer her to wear something with higher SPF, like 50, but finding something that applies easily & is not greasy or tinted is challenging
- Dr Murad always advises that you perform a patch test prior to applying all over, especially with younger skin.
- Do you guys recommend an age required before using the moisturizer
- Murad products are formulated to address specific skincare concerns. They are not made for a specific age, gender or ethnicity. If it is a young child, always check with their physician.
- Does this replace Essential-C Day Moisture Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ?
- Yes, the Superactive Moisturizer SPF 50: Brightening is the new replacement product.
