      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."

      Interesting

      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.
