Murad Hydration Invisiblur Perfecting Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 30 | PA+++ 30ml

Product Information

Retinol is the go-to anti-aging ingredient recommended by dermatologists and skin experts. It’s clinically proven to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve uneven skin tone, restore skin firmness, and shrink the appearance of enlarged pores. Alcohol and fragrance are two red flags that normally drive me away from a product, but I didn’t find this to be irritating at all. It does have a medium-light fragrance, though, a bit floral like Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream (read the review here). If you’re sensitive to alcohol or fragrances (particularly floral ones), I’d stay away from this sunscreen. Final thoughts calls itself a primer, which is interesting because I always think of sunscreen as the last step in a morning skincare routine. But maybe that only applies to physical sunscreens? Vitamin C also helps fade dark spots, evens out skin tone, and increases radiance. As if that wasn’t enough, research suggests that when vitamin C is applied to the skin, it significantly reverses aging-related structural changes by influencing collagen and elastin synthesis. Shaz17 Excellent product Love this product I use it alone as it has a mat finish as well as a sun screen. I often get asked if I am wearing foundation which I’m not.

The Murad Prebiotic 3-in-1 MultiMist was designed to serve as a hydrating yet lightweight mist that can be used throughout the day in a variety of ways. This product is rich in hydrating ingredients like glycerin and propanediol, as well as a few active ingredients like niacinamide and a peptide complex. These two ingredients help to brightening and smooth the skin, revealing a more radiant and youthful looking complexion. In addition to these actives, this product also contains the Bipolymer Complex, which is unique Murad products. This complex contains ingredients that allow this product to act like a primer and setting spray by blending seamlessly with makeup to deliver a smooth, flawless looking finish. Because of all of these ingredients, this product can be used in multiple ways depending on your own skin care and makeup preferences. The 3-in-1 MultiMist can be used as your toner or mist step in your regular morning or evening skincare routine, as a primer to rehydrate the skin prior to makeup application, as a setting spray to help extend the wear time of your makeup or as a rehydrating mist to use throughout the day to freshen up the skin. This sunscreen is also not water-resistant, which is kind of unfortunate especially if you live in an area with humid summers. You need a sweat- and water-resistant sunscreen to ensure better protection. Murad Invisiblur Perfecting Shield SPF 30 Sunscreen review: ConsThis is definitely more of a primer than a sunscreen. For one, it’s completely colorless/clear (see below), and it spreads quite easily on the skin. Like other primers, it helps smooth any uneven texture on your face, so it’s perfect for applying before a foundation or other makeup. The first ingredient, isododecane, is commonly found in other primers, since it helps increase spreadability of a formula. It also contains silicones like dimethicone, caprylyl methicone, and phenyl trimethicone. These create a silky texture and also helps the skin feel more hydrated (though I still think you need a separate moisturizer in addition to this primer). Dr Murad championed the idea of “beauty from within” and takes a 360 degree approach to skincare and wellness. Put another way, he is also known as ‘The Father of Internal Skincare.” He is a big believer that good skincare starts with the right nutrition and has said in interviews that “80% of your skin’s health is from internal care – nutrition from a good diet and supplements. Only 20% is from topical products.” The Murad Hydrating Toner is an excellent alcohol-free alternative for traditional toners, in a convenient, facial spray format. This lightweight mist helps to rehydrate dehydrated skin while also neutralizing surface impurities which can impact the overall health and wellbeing of your skin. The formula behind this product utilizes a range of beneficial ingredients including sodium PCA, chamomile and cucumber extracts as well as lecithin. Sodium PCA helps to improve hydration as well as calm inflammation in the skin. Chamomile and cucumber extracts both serve as botanical ingredients to soothe and minimize irritation in the skin, as well as relieve overheated skin. Finally, lecithin works together with vitamins C and E to offer powerful antioxidant protect to help the skin combat environmental aggressors. All together, this formula has been designed to be relatively simple, yet powerful, making it a great option for use throughout the day to reveal any discomfort, dryness or heat you may experience throughout the day. To achieve optimal health as well as beautiful, healthy looking skin, Dr Murad believes in a multi prong approach that includes: cellular hydration, nutrition, exercise that brings joy, creative expression, reconnecting with your “inner toddler,” reducing stress, as well as the right skin care. One of the cornerstones of his philosophy is to get enough water at the cellular level. He believes that cellular hydration is the common thread linking aging, disease, obesity, and wrinkles. This translates into drinking more than the recommended eight glasses of water a day. People should also aim to eat their water from consuming raw fruits and vegetables. Murad products contain clinical–strength ingredients and the formulas are a mix of naturally derived extracts, such as green tea and pomegranate, as well as evidence-based ingredients like vitamin C, peptides, and retinol. These ingredients should all be part of your skincare routine. Here’s why:

Avobenzone is the only chemical sunscreen filter that provides protection against UVA1 rays (340–400 nm). Avobenzone has been shown to be photounstable after just one hour of exposure to UV light, so manufacturers usually try to stabilize avobenzone with ingredients like octocrylene. Murad Invisiblur Perfecting Shield SPF 30 Sunscreen has followed this method of stabilizing avobenzone in its formula. Here’s another study that found that octocrylene helped improve the photostability of avobenzone. I solemnly swear to research skin care and beauty products, ask my dad (the chemist) for advice, and share those findings with you! Learn MoreThe only downside? Retinol can often lead to side effects like skin dryness, peeling, and irritation.

Murad has been a staple skincare brand for decades, and for very good reason.

Their patented brightening technology on the other hand contains niacinamide and hexylresorcinol, which work together to target all of the different types of hyperpigmentation to fade scarring and create a more even skin tone overall. You’ve probably seen ads for Murad skincare products, but have you ever wondered who is behind the brand, and how it all started? Murad is named for its founder, Dr Howard Murad, who is a pioneer in the fields of skincare and wellness. He’s also an artist and author, and take a holistic approach to skincare. Murad Rapid Resurfacing Peel is an extra-strength 10% glycolic acid anti-aging treatment peel. Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane. It has a small molecular weight, which means it can penetrate the skin very easily. It exerts anti-inflammatory, keratolytic, and antioxidant effects, and acts as both an exfoliator and a moisturizer. Glycolic acid exfoliates the skin by targeting corneocytes (dead skin cells that make up the stratum corneum) in a process called corneocyte desquamation. By enhancing their breakdown and increasing the separation of skin cells, the rate of cell turnover is increased, leading to smoother, more elastic skin. Glycolic acid is classified as a humectant moisturizer based on its ability to increase the supply of hyaluronic acid in the extracellular matrix. AHAs have also been found to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is needed to maintain strong, firm, youthful skin.

When Dr Murad launched his eponymous skincare line in 1989 it was the first physician branded product line to hit the market. He is also credited with launching the first medical spa, as well as pioneering the use of alpha hydroxyl and beta hydroxyl acids, and pinpointed stress as a major health threat. What is Dr Murad’s philosophy? We’ve been hearing for years that Vitamin C is the best anti-aging ingredient. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.

Bonzicat Nice but expensive I like that this is a multi purpose product and it creates a good base for make up. It seems to offer good sun protection but the bottle doesn’t last very long making it expensive. This product from Algenist gives you an instant blur while moisturizing. The super light, whipped formula creates a “veil” of perfection with its ingredient combo of alguronic acid and extremophile complea, but also holds an SPF 30.

Who is Dr Murad? While collagen is necessary for maintaining youthful-looking skin, the collagen protein is too large to absorb into the skin topically. That’s why applying skin care products that contain collagen won’t provide the anti-aging benefits you’re looking for. use of the content you supply does not violate these Terms of Use and will not cause injury to any person or entity.
