Review: Murad Essential-C Day Moisture SPF 30



I have a very clear memory of me, probably around 18 years old, sat on a train wearing full-on Boots Soltan factor 30 in the middle of winter because I had read that year-round sunscreen was the key to eternal youth. It felt so thick and clogging, and I already suffered from spots – no way was this going to last. My good intentions fell away, largely because I didn't like wearing the stuff on my skin. 

At 31, it's a lot easier to remain motivated about application because the tell-tale signs of sun damage are already showing in the form of pigmentation. I've been testing Murad Essential-C Day Moisture SPF 30* since the spring and can report that its sophisticated formula has cured my aversion to SPF. 


Murad believe that SPF can only ever provide 97 per cent protection against UV rays. Their MuraSol™ Antioxidant Defense technology is intended to close this gap via a blend of encapsulated antioxidants that create a barrier of free radical neutralisers to halt UV damage. Alongside 'next generation' Vitamin C, I found these skin-boosting benefits helped encourage daily application. The light cream sinks in quickly, hydrating skin and leaving no white cast. Although I might look a bit shiny for a few minutes, makeup applies easily (with no bobbling!) and the overall effect is juicy skin = happy Laura.


If you're in the market for a moisturiser that offers broad spectrum protection and which you won't seek to avoid wearing whenever possible, I highly recommend it. Murad also offer an excellent returns policy, where they will refund the cost of products which you feel don't suit your skin (see murad.co.uk.)

  2. Sunscreen is so awful to keep on your face all the time. If face moisturizers didn't come with SPF I would hardly keep the stuff on.

  5. I was looking at the store for those Lindt eggs the other day and they were sold out! I was so bummed as that is my favorite kind of chocolate and the Easter bunny hadn't brought me anything this year. digital marketing Jacksonville FL. Our Easter found my husband and oldest son working on the foundation of my mother in law's new house while I baked up a box mix of brownies and a ham dinner... I don't know what my younger two boys did!
