Brightening Moisturizer with Niacinamide & Vitamin C for Firm, Hydrated Skin with SPF 50 Protection

The Murad Superactive Moisturizer SPF 50: Brightening 1.7 fl oz is a lightweight, radiance-boosting daily moisturizer that defends against UV damage while improving tone and texture. Infused with niacinamide, vitamin C, and plant-derived antioxidants, it brightens dull skin and smooths the look of fine lines for a healthy, even glow. The silky formula absorbs quickly without white cast or heaviness, leaving behind a hydrated, dewy finish. Its broad-spectrum SPF 50 shields against UVA/UVB rays and environmental aggressors that cause premature aging. Ideal for morning use, it provides protection, luminosity and hydration in one multitasking step.

From the dermatologist-founded brand Murad®, this advanced moisturizer supports skin’s natural renewal cycle and defends against visible photoaging. Niacinamide helps refine texture and minimize uneven tone, while vitamin C and hexapeptides support collagen and firmness. The formula nourishes with lightweight emollients suitable for normal, combination, dry and mature skin. Dermatologist-tested, cruelty-free and non-comedogenic, this moisturizer doubles as a brightening base under makeup for all-day wear.

Who it’s best for: Normal, dry, and combination skin concerned with dullness, uneven tone or loss of firmness
