Q&A

How is this formula with sensitive skin and rosacea?
It contains Vitamin C, which may increase sensitivity and redness for rosacea.
Have you discontinued the Essential-C day moisture broad spectrum SPF 30 moisturizer? I LOVED this 1.7 oz tube and have been using it for years. Help! What's its equivalent?
We have the new Superactive SPF 50: Brightening
Does thus product contain SPF?
No, it does not have SPF.
How much will this product help aging skin? Used Murad Essential C complex with retinol for many years before it was discontinued. How does this product compare?
The Essential C Firming Radiance Day Cream is a moisturizer rather than a treatment. The Essential C Daily Renewal Complex was indeed quite unique. I would recommend that you email customserservice@murad.com. We would need more specifics as far as treatments. In terms of hydration and brightness, the moisturizer is a great choice!
Will this moisturizer help lighten Melamesa?
The moisturizer is not formulated to address specific pigmentation. For melasma we would recommend the Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum.
