Clear, weightless sunscreens seem to be everywhere right now, but let’s not forget that Murad was ahead of the game long before they became trendy. The now discontinued Invisiblur Perfecting Shield Primer SPF30 was, for many of us, the gold standard: a flawless multitasker we’re still mourning. But now, Murad’s Multi Vitamin Clear Coat Broad Spectrum SPF50 has arrived, and it’s a worthy heir to the throne.
What is it?
A totally transparent textured sunscreen which offers SPF50 broad-spectrum protection, with a few added skincare benefits.
What Do I Think?
This isn’t just a sunscreen – it’s a skincare powerhouse. Packed with vitamins C, D, E, and F, plus omega-rich chia seed and bio-fermented clary sage, it’s as much about improving skin health as it is about UV protection. It offers broad-spectrum SPF50, guarding against UVA/UVB rays which cause premature aging, while its antioxidants work overtime to prevent dark spots, dullness, and loss of elasticity caused by sun exposure. Think of it as your all-in-one anti-aging, brightening, and sun-protection hero.
On application, the texture feels more primer than sunscreen – silky, slippy, and almost oily. It does leave a noticeable sheen at first, but within minutes, this settles into a soft, velvety matte finish that blurs pores and smooths fine lines. Your skin looks instantly perfected, which is why makeup wearers will adore its primer-meets-sunscreen qualities. It layers beautifully with other products, and I’ve experienced no dreaded pilling.
One of its standout qualities is its truly invisible finish. There’s zero white cast, making it an excellent choice for all skin tones, and the absence of chalky residue will delight anyone who’s struggled with traditional sunscreens. That said, the silky texture does linger to the touch, so if you’re someone who constantly touches your face or dislikes a slightly slippery feel, it’s worth bearing in mind.
Would I recommend?
For me, it’s a hit. The SPF50 protection, the skin-smoothing finish, and the vitamin-packed formula make it a true multitasker. Best of all, it’s finally filled the gap left by the beloved Invisiblur.
