Superactive Moisturizer SPF 50 offers all-day hydration with a mattifying finish, featuring salicylic acid for texture smoothing and pore minimization. While some customers appreciate its lightweight, non-comedogenic formula, others find it less effective in keeping skin matte. It provides sun protection and minimizes skincare routine steps.

"I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL SUNSCREENS FOR OILY SKIN AND THEY HAVE ALL BROKE ME OUT TERRIBLY UNTIL I STARTED USING MURADS OIL CONTOL SUNSCREEN. I LOVE IT! I REALLY WISH THEY COULD SELL A BIGGER VERSION OF THE PRODUCT LIKE SUPERGOOP DOES BECAUSE WHEN I FIND SOMETHING THAT WORKS, I WANT TO HAVE AN ABUNDANCE INSTEAD OF THESE TINY CONTAINERS AND IT'S COST EFFECTIVE SINCE WE HAVE TO WEAR 7/24. . . . . . HINT, HINT!!!!"
"With other suncreen, my skin at the end of the day tens to breakout with white pimples. This suncreen gives me a smooth application and my skin stay dry all day. True definition of light weight and oil-control"
"I love the oil control capacity and the SPF. I decided to try this after learning the old vitamin c moisturizer with spf had been discontinued. This does its job well in the heat and humidity, and only one product!!"
"The product may seem a bit thick at first but melts away quickly. I don’t even feel it when it’s on and is very long lasting. The combination of a subtle citrus scent, the mattifying effect and a higher sun factor protection of 50 is a winning combination. This is a perennial favorite of mine and a classic must-have when I travel. The only downside is the high price tag, but it does last a while:"
"My skin loves this. The finish touch is so dry, not sticky at all and feels so smooth all day. My skin tends to pop up some white heads when wearing sunscreens all day, but with this, it's so breathable. I use it on someday my skin breaks out, and love it. Some sunscreens says light weight but when it comes to Murad, this is the true definition of lightweight."
"I used the old formula for years. It was effective sunscreen but worked well on the skin for a daily moisturizer. However the new formula pills right off my face. Looks like dry skin flaking off, but it is the moisturizer."
"I love this moisturizer- it keeps my face from looking shiny. I hate the pump top though - it doesn’t work very well and I end up having to unscrew it to use the product."
"This is a pretty good moisturizer. I like the mattifying effect and the higher spf. However, I really liked the old anti-wrinkle/anit-blemish formula as it helped to smooth out my forehead lines. Please consider bringing that back!"
"The previous formulation was my holy grail sunscreen so I was a bit apprehensive when I realised the formulation had changed. I'm happy to announce that this is almost as great. . . Only issue is, this doesn't control oil as well as the previous formulation for me"
"I Love this new Mattifying SPF moisturiser! It does a good job with Mattifying and keeping my combo skin from being oily without drying out my skin!"
