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!"

— carmen w. (5/5)

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)

Glowy finish

"Nice sunscreen, no white cast, absorbs fast, glowy finish, especially no eye irritation even though it's not mineral SPF. Very good one, love it."

— Ai (5/5)

Birds

"I preferred the colourless sun protection cream. This is light weight and feels nice to use, however, I don’t think this is value for money. I can see it running out quite quickly. I will not be buying again."

— Caroline W. (3/5)

Silky smooth SPF

"Love this SPF - absorbs easily, is non-greasy and most importantly, it protects against the sun really well. Highly recommend."

— Jenny H. (5/5)

Good moisturiser with high SPF

"Love this moisturiser. It goes on really nicely sinking into my skin. Added bonus of SPF50. My skin feels soft and protected"

— Lisa M. (5/5)

Beautiful glow & Hydrating

"This truly is a great product. The spf 50 on top of the moisturizing/hydrating feel. It last all day and just as beautiful on a no makeup day. This is my first Murad product & now I’m hooked for life."

— sunshine04 (5/5)

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 to go for glowy protection

"my fav sunscreen ever, light, bright and glowy"

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.
