Murad oil and pore control mattifier broad spectrum SPF 45 | PA ++++

This SPF is excellent for keeping your skin matte and non-sticky. I found that it maintained a relatively matte finish for about three hours. While some oils did come through, it was significantly less than with regular sunscreens.

I started with a travel size and liked it enough to purchase the full size. The formula’s mattifying effect was impressive. However, I had issues when applying makeup over it. Foundations and concealers would often pill and separate, except for the Australian Gold BB cream SPF, which worked well. While I appreciated how the BB cream evened out my skin, I enjoy a varied makeup routine, so relying on a single face product became monotonous. The sunscreen has a soft matte finish, cream formula, and minimal white cast, which worked well with my fair skin. I also liked pairing it with a setting powder.

Purchasing the full size at half off was a good decision, considering it’s fairly expensive. Murad is a trustworthy brand, founded by a dermatologist, with clear product lines tailored to specific concerns and skin types. From the few Murad products I’ve tried, I have yet to be disappointed.

If you don’t put much effort into the makeup aspect of your routine, you’ll likely appreciate this SPF. As someone with very oily skin, I confidently say this is one of the best SPFs for oily skin types.
