This is my favorite Murad product. I feel the line, while solid, is overpriced and most of its products can be found in other brands for cheaper. But I'd have a hard time complicating the Essential...

This is a white runny moisturizer with SPF. Has a light scent which I'm not find if but doesn't really linger. It spreads very easily and doesn't feel tacky but leaves a shiny - not oily - film...

I don't know why but this moisturizer actually makes my skin look better. Brighter, less dull, and it might even be helping with discoloration. However, it's very heavy/greasy and leaves a sheen...

I have oily skin and was looking for a moisturizer with SPF, I like this one but it makes me oily if I use it alone, If I use it on top of an oil control lotion it works amazing and the SPf in it...

Too watery, it always flows out of the packaging. When applied on the face, it gives a very oily sheen. The overall formula of the product was just bad

I have to start by saying that for a long time I was not a fan of Murad in general. I tried a product that claimed to even skin tone and reduce discolorations and it did nothing for me, and I wrote...

WOw, I am surprised so many people aren't digging this product. I think this is an excellent choice for sun protection. What impresses me most about this sunscreen is that it really is more of a...

Meh. Just OK - and way too expensive. I am sticking with Skinceuticals and BeautiControl for now. Non occlusive and benign. Smells nice.

I bought this from Ulta because they have an awesome return policy. I tried it for about a month--it was okay, nothing special. For $60 I wanted to be wowed, but instead, I was pretty underwhelmed....

Where to begin... This is not moisturizing enough, it does not brighten the complexion, you need to apply it generously to get adequate sun protection, and the price is ridiculous. This is a very,...

I really like the fresh orange citrus smell and the texture of this day cream. But, it sits on top of the skin and leaves a shiny greasy feel. I would not buy this again because of the gross...
