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, ...

Waste of Money!
I have never written a review for a product before because even if I don't like something, I almost never care enough to review it, but given that this product is as expensive as it is it would almost be a disservice to the girls if I didnt speak up. I only got this sunscreen because I thought the other Murad sunscreen with vitamin C, which I love and would recommend even if it is a bit expensive, was discontinued. I got this one as a replacement. Disregarding the weird old carpet smell of the product, it's formula is so bizarre. It doesn't rub in, it leaves the white/grayish cast on the skin, and if you try to work it in, the product just starts peeling and rubbing off in little clumps. Its hard to describe. I also find that it just does not fully absorb into the skin it kind of sits on top and makes your skin texture look incredibly weird. This might not be too noticeable if you are someone of a lighter complexion, but as someone with darker skin, it just is not it for me. I do recognize that it's a mineral sunscreen and I know that these things can be hit or miss, however, the other Murad sunscreen with the vitamin C that I mentioned prior is also a mineral sunscreen doesn't do this. Given that this product costs a not insignificant amount of money, I'm disappointed. I can't return or exchange cause I've now been using it for several months, but I am fed up and just had to warn you guys. Steer clear! If you feel like you need to get a Murad sunscreen, then I recommend you use the other Murad sunscreen with vitamin c instead!
Beautiful but stinky!
It's a beautiful finish, but it smells like feet. And it doesn't dissipate, unfortunately. I will use it up to walk my dog but I am very disappointed, especially at this price point. Will not repurchase.
No white cast!!!
No white cast omggg!!!! No matter how much you put on your face, it blends easily. Amazing and effective go to sunscreen.
No white cast!
I love it! Finally a sunscreen with Zinc oxide that doesn't leave a white cast. Also no scent. Buy it, you won't regret it.
Highly recommended
My favorite sunscreen and hope they won't change the formula. Sill pricey for that small size but will definitely purchase it again!
