My sample review: Murad Oil Control Mattifier SPF 15

This Murad Oil Control Mattifier SPF 15(0.3 oz) is a free sample with a purchase. The full size is 1.7 oz for $39.5 at Sephora.

This is a chemical sunscreen.

This is a quite popular item. It got 4 stars and 1740 reviews at Sephora right now. It did give me a matte finish but I couldn’t finish this sample and I won’t buy the full size.

Because:

  • the texture is thick and sticky
  • the SPF is lower than 30. If a lotion serves as a sunscreen, I prefer it’s higher than SPF 30.
