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

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)

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."

Anonymous (2/5)

Absorbing and easy to apply.

"Absorbing and easy to apply. Not sure has any noticeable difference to my skin Want to return as does not dispense properly, have to keep pumping then loads come out"

Lesley P. (5/5)

Prefer the original

"My daughter and I much preferred the original spf 30 formula. This one feels much thicker and heavier. You can smell the sunblock in it. I loved the spf 30 version because it did not have that smell and felt more moisturizing. It was light under my make up. Since we have been using the spf 50 for the last few weeks my skin have been having frequent breakouts I haven't had in years. Please bring back the original formula."

Amazing Sunscreen!

"I loved this sunscreen especially since i go on walks and i am prone to getting dark spots very fast! I have noticed that this sunscreen has HELPED tremendously! I will definitely be repurchasing except the only thing is the applicator doesn’t work with getting the screen out that well."

Gisselle (5/5)

Best SPF I know

"As a decades long fan of the previous SPF30 version of this cream I was both delighted and relieved to discover this is even better! Thank you Murad!"

Jane L. (5/5)

Superactive Moisturiser SPF50

"This is my go-to SPF 50 daily moisturiser. I love its consistency, fragrance, how it is absorbed and provides the right amount of moisture for my normal skin. I don't ever get a reaction from Morad products - I'm prone to patches of eczema if I use inferior products."

Sarah R. (5/5)

Excellent Skin Care

"Goes on smoothly. Works well with my makeup. Protection and vitamin C make the perfect combination for my skin."

Joan C. (5/5)

Loved the previous version

"The essential c spf30 moisturiser was my absolute favourite, but this one is too heavy for my skin now they’ve upped the spf. It doesn’t feel as moisturising. Please bring back the old formula!"

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.
