10/10 would use again
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] 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!

I’ve been using the Murad Superactive Moisturizer SPF 50 for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed! First off, the scent is light and refreshing—not overpowering at all, which is a huge plus for me. It has a smooth, lightweight texture that blends effortlessly into the skin without leaving any white cast, which is rare for high-SPF products. What I love most is the mattifying effect—it truly controls shine throughout the day without feeling dry or tight. My skin stays fresh and balanced, even in more humid conditions. I’ve also noticed a slight blurring of my pores, making my skin look smoother even before makeup. Overall, this is a great daily moisturizer with strong sun protection, perfect for those with combination or oily skin. It feels luxurious without being heavy, and it delivers on its promises. Highly recommend!

Heavy and gross
I never write reviews but this product is awful. This is not mattifying in any way. I look even greasier than my natural skin when i use this. Sooo thick and heavy, feels like its tugging on my skin when applying. The paid reviews made me waste my money for sure.

Bad under makeup
My main issue is that it caused my makeup (houglass tinted moisturizer) to pil. On its own it leaves a dull/satin finish. I dont think it broke me out which is good.

Great product
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] 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.

pills by itself and under make up
Idk what's up with the new formula but for an EXPENSIVE suncreen it is horrible. It now pills under make up and by itself. It is thick and kinda hard to rub in. It is also very shiny, i thought it would go away if i waited for it to settle but nope, it is shiny all day.

New and improved
I'm happy with this new formula because it's even more mattifying and has spf 50. Really helps with my oily skin all day while protecting from the sun

Murad SPF
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] 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.

Bring Back Old Formula!
I'm super disappointed! This was the only thing that would keep my face matte beneath my makeup and now they changed the formula. This product is too expensive for them to just drastically change. This has been happening to alot of products lately 🤔

Great buy
Love this moisturizer. I have oily skin that gets shiny really fast. This helps it, and it is a great base for my makeup.

Horrible
This used to be my summer go to. Now this is just trash. So thick its hard to apply. Makes me feel greasy and get more oily as the day goes on. New formula is bad. Wish they didn't discontinue the anti aging moisturizer

Makes me super Oily
Bring back the old formula. I used it solely and religusoly for many years. Once you changed it, I had to stop because it made me oily again. I haven't been able to find anything since to keep my oil at bay like the old formula. Bring it back!

Run don't walk!
OMG IM HOOKED! I've tried SO many sunscreen's and now I can finally say I found THE one! It feel's so great on my skin! It doesn't burn my eye's, doesn't break me out, which I believe is due to the salicylic acid, I can continuously reapply thoughout the day without feeling greasy, and my face doesn't feel like it's suffocating! It doesn't irritate my face and works well with other products I use in the morning like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid! Listen....run don't walk! (FYI I have extremely oily sensitive skin)

High SPF
At my dermatologist's suggestion, I started looking for a daily face sunscreen that had a higher SPF than 30. After some failed attempts with just sunscreen products, I decided to try this moisturizer + sunscreen. I'm very happy with the purchase! I can tell the difference in the increased SPF protection, and also feel that my face is staying hydrated. I have really oily skin and, for me, this product provides good oil control and a mattifying effect. It smells lightly of sunscreen, but it dissapates quickly once absorbed. The only con, hence the loss of one star, is that the consistency is a little thick and tacky, so it pulls on my skin quite a bit when applying, which I don't appreciate. But it is not a deal breaker for me at this point. Otherwise, a good option for increased daily face protection.

Moisturizer SPF 50
This moisturizer is great, it feels very hydrating and smooth free applying on my face. I also love that it has an SPF 50. In my opinion it doesn't leave a white sheer color on my face when applying on my face. I also wear this everyday no matter what the weather is and before applying my makeup.

Not it for me
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.

Best sunscreen I've found
My skin is oily and acne prone, and this sunscreen helps with that! It does dry mate specially with this Texas heat, also a very big plus for me is that it doesn't burn or irritate my eyes! I know it's on the pricier side but it's definitely worth the price.

Couldn't possibly make my face shinier!
The old formula was great, perfectly mattifying. This formula makes my face look like I dunked it in a bucket of canola oil.

Not good for acne prone skin!
I had originally bought this sunscreen to be rid of white cast but after use overtime, my skin began to break out. I would not recommend if you have acne.
