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!

New packaging is AWFUL

I’ve been using this product for years and even enjoy the new update with improved SPF. Removing many starts because the new packaging is TERRIBLE. Seriously over packaged. And the pump is ineffective, leaving a lot of product in the tube. ?I am buying separate containers to transfer my next tube.! I love the actual subscreen but MURAD. Please fix your packaging!!

Bright, Hydrated Skin With SPF Built In

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I’ve been using the Murad Superactive Moisturizer SPF 50 and it’s one of those products that makes your routine feel complete without adding extra steps. I love that it’s a true 3-in-1. It hydrates, brightens, and protects my skin all at once. The texture is lightweight and smooth, not greasy, and it layers beautifully under makeup. My skin looks more awake and radiant thanks to the vitamin C, and I appreciate knowing I’m getting SPF 50 protection without that heavy sunscreen feel or smell. This is perfect for everyday wear, especially if you want brighter-looking skin while keeping things simple. It’s been an easy reach for me and fits perfectly into a real-life, on-the-go routine.

Oilier than usual

It left my skin a bit oilier than usual—possibly because I applied too much—but overall it may not be ideal for sensitive skin.

New Formula not as good

I used to love this moisturizer, but they changed the formula so it’s dryer than it used to be and I have to use an additional moisturizer on top of it now. It took me so long to find a moisturizer with SPF that I liked and now it’s gone :(
