Murad Oil and Pore Control Mattifier SPF45 PA

The ingredient list suggests that "Murad - Oil and Pore Control Mattifier SPF45 PA" can provide reliable sun protection. It can protect from both UVA and UVB rays. This is great news because not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. (UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).

Its formula is also hydrating, so you might not need an additional moistruizer during the day.
