    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.

    Not an improvement

    Used the old formula for years— this one does not compare. Not as light and hydrating. Also the new packaging is annoying with the pump— very difficult to get all the product out towards the end and to know when you're running low.

    DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

    I have used the essential C with SPF facial moisturizer in the past and loved it. It made my skin brighter and more hydrated while protecting from the sun. But this product was not remotely like the product I used to use. This has never happened before with any product. It caused me to have a severe allergic reaction in which my face to turn extremely red, hot to the touch, splotchy, and burn really badly. I developed welts under my chin and on the sides on my face. It took a full 24 hours of washing my face for the pain to start going away.

    great sunscreen

    it is indeed a great sun screen but it can dry out our skin. I use a moisturizer and then layer the Murad on top. I don't mind the step. Keeps my skin from drying out.

    Gentle

    I received this product in exchange for my honest review. This product is a three in one with Vitamin C as well as 50+ SPF working as a moisturizer as well! It is very convenient with the pump ensuring that the perfect amount of product is used liberally across the face, neck, and chest. The smell of it is not too much either. Great for sensitive skin as well.

    Too thick

    I use Murad daily with SPF 30. Decided to try this with SPF 50 but it's thick & caused me to break out. Bummer

    Brightening effect

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been using the Murad Superactive Moisturizer SPF 50 for a few weeks now, and it's quickly become a staple in my morning routine. The texture is lightweight yet deeply hydrating, which makes it perfect for layering under makeup or wearing on its own for a fresh, dewy finish. What stands out most is its brightening effect—within days, my skin tone looked more even, and some of the dullness I usually notice in the morning was noticeably improved. It gives a subtle glow without looking greasy. The SPF 50 is a major plus, offering solid protection without the heavy, chalky feel that many high-SPF products leave behind. My only small issue is that, while it's labeled "superactive," it may not be rich enough for very dry skin types on its own. But for normal to combination skin, it's a win. Bonus points for no white cast and no breakouts.

    HORRIBLE!

    The new formula breaks my face out! I have used the prior formula for years and I am so disappointed with this change. I never had any issues with the prior formula and this one keeps breaking my face out. Very, very disappointed.

    Highly recommend!

    Schools out and so is the sun! Protecting your skin is the best action you can take to avoid wrinkles and sun spots. I am no stranger to the Murad skin care brand, and have used their 30 SPF moisturizer before. But this is their new 50 SPF Brightening formula with stabilized vitamin C (this just means the ascorbic acid won't degrade or oxidize as easily, keeping your product safe and effective🤝) First of all it gives a beautiful glow to wear on it's own, but dries down enough to be a good base for foundation. I've been wearing it every day during pickleball, and although I'm a sweaty mess, it hasn't dripped into my eyes at all. We all know how terrible sunscreen burns your eyes!! It's very smoothing, has a great texture and light citrus scent. I honestly have no notes! 5/5 would recommend 👍 (I got this for free from @influenster in exchange for my honest opinion)

    hydrating SPF!!

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] this smooth moisturizer is nice to use on the skin before applying makeup. i love the pump for getting product out and the amount you get with each pump! it has a light citrus scent. SPF is essential in my skincare/makeup routine so i'm happy to add this. super moisturizing — probably best for winter if you have oily skin in the summer like i do.

    It truly lives up to the 3-in-1 promise!

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The Murad Superactive Moisturizer SPF 50 has quickly become a new favorite in my routine. It truly lives up to the 3-in-1 promise hydrating, brightening, and protecting all in one step. The texture is lightweight and absorbs fast, leaving my skin with a beautiful, healthy glow (no white cast!). I love that it's packed with 10x more potent vitamin C, it really helps even out my skin tone and makes my complexion look fresher after just one use. Plus, it wears perfectly under makeup.

    SPF

    I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I tried this moisturizer with sunscreen from Murad and I didn't love it, since I have combination skin and it feels a bit oily when I apply it. It has a slight citrus scent, but it leaves my skin with some glowing due to the vitamin C content. It doesn't leave a white cast, and I liked the packaging.

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is sunscreen is one of the best out there especially as a darker skin tone person. It leaves no white cast and has a clean scent which is perfect. It feels light on the face and leaves you moisturized all day!

    Love it, must for busy moms

    It feels lightweight and absorbs well without leaving a greasy finish. My skin looks more hydrated and glowy. Plus I like that it is SPF 50 and vitamin C which provides more protection and brightness to skin than many moisturizers.
