Mattifying SPF 50 Moisturizer That Controls Oil & Minimizes Pores
Murad Superactive Moisturizer SPF 50 Oil + Pore Control 1.7 fl oz is a 3-in-1, shine-free hydrator that delivers high UV protection while visibly refining skin’s texture. A precision-delivery salicylic acid blend gently smooths and helps minimize the look of pores. Oil-trapping microspheres blur and mattify for a soft-focus finish that lasts. The ultra-sheer SPF 50 shields against UVA/UVB rays without a white cast, and the lightweight, non-comedogenic formula layers cleanly under makeup.
Created by the dermatologist-founded brand Murad, this multitasker helps oily and combination skin stay balanced with all-day hydration plus advanced sun defense. The texture is light and blendable so it won’t feel heavy or greasy. Use it as your AM moisturizer to streamline your routine and keep shine under control while protecting against premature photoaging. It’s designed to leave skin looking smoother, with pores less noticeable and a comfortable matte finish.
- Who it’s best for: Oily, combination, and balanced skin that wants matte hydration and smaller-looking pores
- What makes it different: Salicylic-acid technology + oil-trapping microspheres deliver pore-smoothing, all-day mattifying power with zero white cast
