Murad Essential-C Overnight Barrier Repair Cream - Environmental Shield Vitamin C Moisturizer - Helps Neutralize Pollutants, Brighten and Smooth Skin, 1.7 Fl Oz

I'm at the age where my skin has become sensitive. I've used this product now for about 3 months, I have it on auto ship. It is moisturizing but light, it is my go to for daily wear. I apply this on top of a 15% vitamin C serum from a high end brand found at an esthetician office. I haven't noticed a reduction in wrinkles, but it is hydrating and does NOT irritate my skin. I layer over a high end brand of tinted 50 SPF sunscreen mineral based. With this product along with the other 2 items I listed, I HAVE noticed a reduction in my melasma and freckling. The key with melasma is TIME out of the sun, vitamin c and always wear a mineral based sunblock/sunscreen. I noticed chemical based sunscreens always made it WORSE.

This is a repeat purchase for me works great with my skin

I always use this product.

Been using this product for many years now and it’s great for my skin. Makes me look younger. However, the price is a little high. Would like to see the price decrease or more product.

This is a night cream from Murad. They have a great track record with me for producing effective no nonsense skin care products. This is another good performer from them. The cream comes in a demand/push top that keeps the remaining cream unadulterated. This isn’t a heavy cream but is an effective overnight cream even for dry older skin. It glides on so easily and isn’t oily or greasy. I love how it feels on my skin. In the morning I see the improvement to my skins texture and tone.There is a very light orange scent to this cream….I had to work pretty hard to detect it. It is very pleasant but does not linger. Great for neck and décolletage too.

This is definitely an overnight cream. It feels a bit heavy, but it absorbs by morning to leave skin moisturized. It smells like freshly squeezed oranges.I was a bit confused when I didn't see Vitamin C or orange oil on the label. I looked up more information on the Murad website, and I found that it has Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, which is a potent antioxident form of Vitamin C. I'm not sure if the orange scent comes from that or the fragrance added. See my photo for the ingredient label on the box.I love that this jar has a pump that helps you easily dispense the product. It keeps the product more airtight. The jar unscrews if needed.I find that Vitamin C is the one ingredient that really gives my normal but "mature" skin a dewy glow, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this potent form compares to others I have used after a few weeks. This seems to be a high quality product and worth a try.

Do NOT buy Murad from this seller. It came without a protective seal and when I first opened the product it looked like someone had already used some. I haven’t used this at all and I’m highly disappointed. Murad is normally a great brand so I do recommend buying them elsewhere.

I've used other skin products from Murad and find them to be a reliable source. There is a lot of evidence that Vitamin C is great for the skin so there are many such products out there. From what I've read, once the product is exposed to air, the effectiveness of vitamin C is greatly-reduced. Since this cream comes in a cool dispenser that allows you to only dispense what you need, I'm hoping the rest of the cream doesn't get the exposure to air and loses the "power" of the vitamin C. In any case, I love the dispenser and the cream feels incredible on my skin when it's applied. I have dry, sensitive skin and have had no issues with this product. It is a bit pricey but still much less than a lot of products out there.
