Rounding out the Sephora Sun Safety kit moisturizer review collection, whee! I've been putting this one off because I really didn't like it when I used it at school a couple months ago and didn't want to risk my face breaking out from using it again, but in the interest of complete disclosure for you, dear readers, I attempted it once again.

The Murad is the largest sample provided in the Sun Safety kit, at 0.7 oz. Full size for this is 1.7 oz for $60 (!!!!?!), so the sample is worth $24.71. And that's the other reason I wanted to try this again––I didn't want to waste that much value! Unfortunately, it looks like I have to do just that. The moisturizer is really thick, and doesn't absorb, like, ever. It feels like thick sunscreen on my face, which is exactly what I don't want. It leaves a shiny sheen on my face, and encourages my oiliness. This most recent time I didn't break out from using it, but when I was at school in the humidity I did, so it's something to be aware of. The only good thing about it is the SPF 30, but I can get the same from the Peter Thomas Roth without all the drawbacks.
So, anyone want a lightly-used tube of Murad moisturizer? I know my review has really piqued your interest...
