Supercharged with 10x more potent vitamin C for visibly brighter skin

Details

It’s not just an SPF. This formula is powered by superactive vitamin C to minimise visible signs of UV damage, including dull and uneven skin. Vitamin C makes the skin look brighter, appear more even-toned and visibly fades all types of dark spots - including age spots, sunspots, post-acne dark spots, and hyperpigmentation. It has been further enriched with lipid-boosting tech to provide intense moisture through ceramides, and SPF 50 to help prevent premature ageing from UVA/UVB damage. Vitamin C + SPF combo has been shown to be more effective at neutralising free radical damage from sun exposure than just using sunscreen alone!

Reviews

A true multitasker.

"I’ve been using Superactive Moisturiser SPF 50: Brightening cream every day since i bought it three weeks ago and all i can say is that I wish i had known about this Murad product before. It’s a pleasure to apply on my face, slides easily on the skin, giving it a natural feel and even tone. Having top quality sun protection and Vitamin C treatment combined into a single product application is a great time saver in the morning too!"

Moisturiser with SPF

"I was looking for a moisturiser with SPF50 and came across this one. It’s a lovely texture, sinks in nicely, isn’t sticky and doesn’t make me break out in spots. I feel, for the price, it should be in a nicer container though, this packaging feels it should be for a cheaper high street product."

Charlie L. (4/5)

Hello Sunshine

"My face, neck and chest feel more protected while I am outside enjoying the day. I like how this product makes my skin feel smoother and softer everyday. This product is easy to apply after using the Essential-C Toner and the Vita-C Glycolic Serum in my daily skin routine. It has helped me with dryness, wrinkles and skin cancer for the past ten years from aging and sun damage."

Paula M. (5/5)

Wonderful

"This sunscreen does not feel or look greasy. It goes on very smooth, doesn’t clog pores, and even in hot and humid weather does not feel like a heavy layer that feels like it’s suffocating your skin like so many other sunscreens do in humid weather."

Cate (5/5)

My dark spots has gone

"My dark spots has gone lighter and skin lookks so much better . Highly recommended 😊"

Puja K. (5/5)

Love this

"Most SPF sting my eczema or run into my eyes when I sweat and make my eyes water. This doesn’t and I wore it all summer and never burned."

Sarah (5/5)

Bring Back the Original one.

"Used the original one with Spf30 for years and loved everything about it, the texture, smell and the light feel. This one goes on looking white like sunfactor and no smell. Wish they hadnt changed it."

Alison (3/5)

Love it!!

"It is a part of my daily skincare routine. ✨"

Nadia I. (5/5)

Goes on really well sinks

"Goes on really well sinks straight in."

JACQUELINE W. (5/5)

Thick and heavy

"For the high end price I was expecting a luxury lightweight feel, but it’s thick and heavy like a sun cream which just made my face sweat constantly all day."

Q&A

Hello, At last, a cream I can add every day and not one spot, as I work outdoors every day. I do love a vitamin C serum, would you suggest that I buy yours and does it go on before the moisturiser? I am not very good at this, as I gave up using other creams as they just gave me spots. What would you suggest? Really like you SPF 50 and works great for my skin
Hello, thank you for reaching out! We are delighted to hear you're enjoying using our Superactive Moisturiser SPF 50. This is a fantastic product at hydrating the skin while keeping your skin fully protected from the environment. If you're looking for an additional step before your SPF our Vitamin C Cream would work underneath the SPF. This will help brighten your skin while reducing the signs of pigmentation. If you have an oily skin type and feel if the SPF is enough this will be enough to keep your skin hydrated without using a moisturiser but if you feel as if your skin is becoming dryer from working outdoors we would recommend adding in that extra step to keep your skin comfortable! For any further product advice or questions please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Care Team on info@murad.co.uk. Thank you.
Hi, Where on the face should/can the moisturiser be used please? Thanks
Hi Helen, For this formula we recommend applying a generous even layer over face neck and chest for day time. We recommend avoiding the eye area.
Is this mineral or chemical?
Hi Sarah, This formula is a chemical sunscreen with broad spectrum protection SPF 50.
Is this non comedogenic
Hi Sarah, Thanks for the question. Yes this is non-comedogenic.
