FOREVER FAVE

"I have sensitive combination skin and summertime really loves to bring out the shine, this is the only high spf moisturizer I’ve ever tried that actually keeps the shine at bay AND it doesn’t make me break out, worth every penny!"

— Arial L. (5/5)

The best

"Have used this for years and it’s amazing. It really keeps my skin from looking oily all day. I was worried I wouldn’t like it when they changed the formulation/packaging a couple years ago but it’s still the best!!!"

— Ally (5/5)

Summer Must Have

"Murad is a product line I’ve trusted for years. With the summer months and sun exposure, it’s great to have a product you know will protect you without causing allergic reactions or breakout. It’s great to have a product specifically for the face. Cudos Murad!"

— Laurie K. (5/5)

Great product

— Jane P. (5/5)

Great anti-shine SPF

"I had my concerns when the formula changed a few times over the years, but I can say that the latest version is still provides long-lasting non-shine coverage. Love the scent - not floral, but citrusy."

— Raf (5/5)

happy customer

"This product works great for me."

— Sharri W. (5/5)

OILY SKIN CAN BE THE WORST. . . . . . BUT THANKS MURAD

"I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL SUNSCREENS FOR OILY SKIN AND THEY HAVE ALL BROKE ME OUT TERRIBLY UNTIL I STARTED USING MURADS OIL CONTOL SUNSCREEN. I LOVE IT! I REALLY WISH THEY COULD SELL A BIGGER VERSION OF THE PRODUCT LIKE SUPERGOOP DOES BECAUSE WHEN I FIND SOMETHING THAT WORKS, I WANT TO HAVE AN ABUNDANCE INSTEAD OF THESE TINY CONTAINERS AND IT'S COST EFFECTIVE SINCE WE HAVE TO WEAR 7/24. . . . . . HINT, HINT!!!!"

— MS. A. (5/5)

Good Moisturizer

"Good product that offers hydration and shine control. It works almost like a primer for me and gives my skin a great look without makeup"

— Christina G. (5/5)

Q&A

How does the newmattifying oil and pore control sunscreen deliver salicylic acid if it is not an active ingredient?
The salicylic acid is precision dosed so that it helps keep the skin smooth and minimize pores. It is just not at a level that the FDA would consider it active.
Would I use this after the water based gel? I am adding the daily face peel after cleansing a will need the spf protection due to the ingredients. So I need to know if I can add this to my morning regimen along with the water based gel.
Yes, you can apply it on top of the water gel.
Does this work well under makeup?
The formula is lightweight, blendable, and non-comedogenic with a matte finish, which helps prevent makeup from sliding off oily or combination skin. Because it’s SPF 50, you’ll want to let it fully absorb (about 10–15 minutes) before applying makeup to reduce any risk of pilling, especially with silicone-heavy primers or full-coverage foundations.
Is this the same product as previously or has the formulation changed?
This is a brand new formula!
