Reviews

Interesting

"Seems to definitely add a nice glow. Since pyre vitamin C, seems like healthy added addition to morning routine. I put on sunscreen with moisturizer an hour later, over the C. It receives 4 stars because of unique dispenser and price."

Magical Murad

"Love the way Murad Essential C-Firming Day Cream is protecting my weather-battered (79 year old) skin during the wickedly cold, skin-drying winter weather this year! It goes on so smoothly and feels like it soaks in through all the layers of weather- and age-damaged skin. So grateful to not worry about the wicked winds and bone-chilling cold damaging my face when I'm out in the barn taking care of my horses!!"

Q&A

How is this formula with sensitive skin and rosacea?
It contains Vitamin C, which may increase sensitivity and redness for rosacea.
Have you discontinued the Essential-C day moisture broad spectrum SPF 30 moisturizer? I LOVED this 1.7 oz tube and have been using it for years. Help! What's its equivalent?
We have the new Superactive SPF 50: Brightening
Does thus product contain SPF?
No, it does not have SPF.
How much will this product help aging skin? Used Murad Essential C complex with retinol for many years before it was discontinued. How does this product compare?
The Essential C Firming Radiance Day Cream is a moisturizer rather than a treatment. The Essential C Daily Renewal Complex was indeed quite unique. I would recommend that you email customserservice@murad.mom. We would need more specifics as far as treatments. In terms of hydration and brightness, the moisturizer is a great choice!
Will this moisturizer help lighten Melamesa?
The moisturizer is not formulated to address specific pigmentation. For melasma we would recommend the Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum.
