Love this!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been using Murad's Superactive Moisturizer SPF 50 with Vitamin C for a little over two weeks now, and I'm honestly loving it.

Mixed review
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I recently tried the Murad Superactive Moisturizer with SPF 50, and while it has some really nice qualities, my experience ended up being a bit of a mixed bag. First off, the product applies smoothly and feels rich on the skin, though it's ...

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.
10/10 !! Would get again
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Love the easy pump this has! It's super smooth and I love the way it applies. Does have a light smell compared to others! Works great and blends in well!
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)
