Love how smoothly it applies
I combine it with Australian Gold tinted mineral sof 50 with a small pump of foundation. This cocktail saves me time, it actually looks like I have primer on blurring pores, and just enough color that I don't need another layer of foundation. Sometimes I don't add foundation, as bronzer takes care ...

Did Not Work for Sensitive Skin
Disclaimer: I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin to SPF, so I'm not sure if I should give this such a low rating, because it's probably just me, not the product. I have yet to find an SPF that does not cause my skin to start itching and to develop a rash, and this was no exception. If I had normal skin, ...

I love this, it feels wonderful on the skin. My skin is soft after application, and the tint is perfect on my fair skin tone. I took off one star because of the price (standard 50 ml) & the fact that we don't know the percentage of vitamin C.

One of the better SPFs sold in the US
If you're spoiled by the elegant formulas and skin-friendly filters of Asian (Australian, or Euro) sunscreens, you know the struggle of finding a tolerable daily SPF in the States! Most chemical formulas burn and mineral formulas leave you looking coated in liquid zinc. I've tried heaps ($-$$$) and this Murad Sunscreen is one of the only American spfs that i dont mind having on my face/neck/décolletage. It's mineral, but with a slight tint that blends into my light olive skin with a nice glowy, radiant finish. I have sensitive combo skin with acne rosacea and this hasnt caused flares; however, i also have ocular rosacea which may be why it burns my eyes/orbital area. It doesn't sting my skin otherwise. I apply after my moisturizer, allow to dry, then use blotting papers to remove some of the ehhm…dew. Havent tried it under a full face but it sits nicely under concealer. While this Murad SPF is sweat and water resistant, like most mineral spfs it is not reapplication-friendly. Dab/pat on carefully to avoid pilling. Definitely heavier than its more elegant Asian counterparts, youre aware something is on your face and ready to wash it off when you get home (kinda feels like wearing a foundation or tinted moisturizer). But sun protection is effective and glow is nice.
Have used this for years!
Its pricey but its my absolutely favorite. I love putting it on in the morning. I'm under 30 but ive got dry skin, so i love how moisturizing and "dewy" this sunscreen is. If you have oily skin or dont like the "dewy" look… def dont go for this. Doesnt leave any white cast on me, however i am extremely pale. Main downside is that i have to he very careful about rubbing my eyes during the day. If you accidentally rub this stuff into your eye… it makes itself know. Regardless, 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone who can fit it into their budget and loves a dewy face.
