Another great Murad Product!

Used mostly in the summer, I add it to my 4 step Murad skin care routine to protect against sun damage and moisturize at the same time. There is a lot of product in the bottle, a little goes a long way. It smells great and doesn’t clog my pores like other sunscreens. It’s easy to use and smells great! I would recommend it!

If you have the money...

I got this on sale at Sephora. Otherwise, Murad products are very pricey! In my late 20s, I am starting to focus more on anti aging products and the first step is sun protection. I didn’t want to add another step in my routine and this also works as a makeup primer, so perfect! It has a very dimethicone-y feel, which I don’t mind as it makes it very easy to spread and a little goes a long way. I was worried because sometimes silicone products add unwanted slick to my already oily skin and can cause breakouts. I never experienced any problems with this product. It smooths my skin and, even without makeup, blurs the fine lines under my eyes and my enlarged pores. It did a very good job of protecting my skin without irritation (I have rosacea, acne-prone and oily skin).
All in all, I think you can probably find sun protection with silicone in cheaper products. The quality of this is likely superior, but it’s not magic so don’t break the bank for it if you’re on a budget. If you’ve got the money to spend or find it on sale like me, I absolutely recommend!

Priming SPF

This is definitely on the pricey end at $84 at Sephora but it's the only SPF I've managed to use consistently because it doubles as a primer! This has a lot of slip due to the silicone which also acts as a pore filling base. Great for ensuring you wear SPF everyday or if you layer SPF products. Doesn't pill but it you apply too much it can feel heavy. Love the airless pump but the clear packaging doesn't make much sense for an SPF product... Overall doesn't break me out and suites all skin types while keeping me on a regular SPF schedule.

2 in 1 protection and care

What a wonderful product, built in SPF 30, can be used as a primer under makeup and also underneath your everyday moisturiser. I love the light texture which is not a gel, cream or oil. It's lovely and will de purchase more of this.
