      Hydrating vitamin C for everyday

      "This is my second time purchasing Essential C Firming moisturizer. It's lightweight and has a light fragrance. It doesn't pill unless you use too much, a little goes a long way. I've used it under makeup as part of my skin prep. I also use it for no makeup days. Pairs well with Vita C Serum. Definitely use your sunscreen with powerful Murad products. Highly recommend."

      — Amanda V. (5/5)

      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."

      Makes me glow!

      "I love this moisturizer. Ever since I switched from the hydration line, I noticed my skin is brighter and glows. I’ll use this during the day with the SPF moisturizer and a hydration line moisturizer at night."

      — Susana G. (5/5)

      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!!"

      — donna c. (5/5)

      Nice product

      "Love the amount of hydration, smell and appears to firm the skin."

      — RENEE S. (5/5)

      Impressive

      "I really like the feel of the products on my skin. I am very impressed that you don’t need much of anything. Small amount of cleanser covers facing neck. I’m using the toner in a spray bottle so it’s just a mist and lastly, I love the moisturizer and I more than anything. I love the applicator. I do notice a cleaner finish on my face."

      — Victoria C. (5/5)

      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.com. 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.
