Murad Blemish Control Superactive Moisturizer SPF 40 50ml

Murad Blemish Control Superactive Moisturizer SPF 40 is the multitasking day cream designed for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin. It deeply moisturizes all day long, controls sebum production, and minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores, all with broad-spectrum SPF 40 sun protection. Just one product to simplify your morning routine without compromising on effectiveness.

The evolution of a Murad bestseller

This formula is the enhanced version of the popular Oil and Pore Control Mattifier. Murad has reformulated the product to maximize hydration and integrate a next-generation targeted-release Salicylic Acid, capable of acting deep within the skin's texture. The result? Visibly reduced pores, controlled sebum, and UVA/UVB protection that counteracts photoaging.

Who it's for

Formulated for normal, oily, combination, and sensitive skin, this moisturizer is ideal for those seeking a 3-in-1 product that hydrates, mattifies, and protects in a single application. Also perfect for those suffering from recurring imperfections or enlarged pores.

Key benefits

Long-lasting hydration: The sustained-release formula keeps skin hydrated from morning application until evening, without feeling heavy.
Immediate matte effect: The lightweight texture absorbs quickly, leaving a matte and dry finish, ideal as a make-up base.
Sebum control: Salicylic Acid acts specifically to reduce excess oil production and minimize pores.
SPF 40 sun protection: Broad-spectrum shield against UVA and UVB to prevent spots and premature aging.
No white residue: Layers perfectly under foundation without unwanted effects.

Active ingredients

The formula is based on three key active ingredients: targeted-release Salicylic Acid for pore control, broad-spectrum SPF 40 sun filters for photo-induced protection, and long-lasting moisturizing agents to maintain the skin barrier intact throughout the day.

How to use

Apply every morning after serum, on clean face and neck. Distribute evenly, avoiding the eye contour. Can be used as a base before make-up. For optimal protection, reapply if exposed to the sun for extended periods.
