Oil-Trapping Mattifier with Broad Spectrum SPF 45 for Oily Skin
The Murad Oil & Pore Control Mattifier SPF 45 is a lightweight, oil-free daily moisturizer that doubles as a high-performing sun protection and mattifying primer. Packed with oil-trapping microspheres, avocado and African yellow wood bark extracts, it visibly reduces the appearance of pores and controls oil and shine for up to ten hours. The broad-spectrum SPF 45 delivers vital UVA/UVB protection while maintaining a matte finish—perfect for oily, acne-prone skin that struggles with midday shine. With its breathable texture and non-greasy feel, it layers beautifully under makeup or stands alone for a refined, shine-free look.
Designed specifically for oily, combination and breakout-prone skin types, this multitasking mattifier addresses enlarged pores, excess oil and visible shine without drying out or dulling the complexion. Avocado and yellow wood bark extracts work over time to refine pore appearance and reduce oiliness, while hyaluronic acid cushions skin and prevents tightness. Safe for sensitive skin, this paraben-, sulfate- and phthalate-free formula is non-comedogenic and cruelty-free. Use it each morning as the final step in your skincare routine to protect, mattify and perfect your complexion.
- Who it’s best for: Oily, combination and acne-prone skin needing SPF plus oil/shine control
- What makes it different: Combines broad-spectrum SPF 45 protection with 10-hour oil and pore control in one lightweight mattifying moisturizer
