I got a sample of this serum from Murad. It has a shimmery finish and adds a glow to my skin. I don’t notice it doing much for my skin over the course of using it. But I have enjoyed the Murad face wash previous which helps with breakouts.

Murad Skincare earns mixed-to-positive reviews: its acne line and SPFs often work—clarifying body spray clears back breakouts, Essential-C Toner revives dull skin, and mattifying SPF 50 smooths texture—while several retinol and eye products underwhelm or show no results for some users. Reviews praise lightweight textures, clean finishes, and glow-boosting vitamin C, but note occasional stickiness, dryness from mattifying formulas, eye stinging from SPF, and inconsistent anti-aging outcomes.

I really like the Murad Essential-C Repair Cream. It feels very light on the skin, has no strong fragrance, and is easy to apply. It absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue. My dry skin feels more hydrated, soft, and comfortable after each use. It’s gentle, effective, and perfect for daily care if you want something nourishing but not heavy. Highly recommend

It’s decent but not a favorite. It didn’t leave a white cast on me; however, I am extremely fair skin. It does have a smoother finish that leaves behind a bit of a glow which I attribute to the vitamin c doing what it claims to. I was not very impressed with how long it seemed to take to absorb into my skin without leaving more of an oily feel that sat on top of my skin.

It feels more like a soft, lightweight primer than a heavy sunscreen, which surprised me in a good way. When I apply it, it goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly, and gives my skin a nice matte finish without feeling dry or tight. I have combination skin, and this does a great job keeping the shine away throughout the day, especially in my T-zone area. My pores look more blurred when I wear it, and I notice my makeup applies better on top of it too. The scent in my opinion is subtle, but it's there. It smells clean and slightly herbal, kind of like a soft citrus and tea tree blend, but it fades quickly once it's on my skin. I like it, it makes the application feel more refreshing without being overpowering or like a strong perfume fragrance. The sunscreen didn't irritate my skin at all, which is always a plus for me with scented products. On really hot and humid days, I did notice a bit of shine peeking through by the afternoon, but nothing too bad and I still feel like my skin looks smoother than usual.
