Sephora Mattifying Moisturizer replacement?

[LauraD3]

I have been a long-time user of the Sephora Mattifying 8-Hr SPF Moisturizer, that looks like it has been discontinued (I'm so bummed!!!). I'd love another SPF-mattifying moisturizer, I know Murad has one. Any suggestions for something else (at a cheaper price point)? I have combination skin (basically based on the season), and this moisturizer was ITTTT. I'd rather keep it to a singular product versus combining.

Following this thread because I also want an answer to this! I have acne-prone combination skin and this was the only daytime moisturizer I used for the last 8 years and I'm devastated they aren't making it anymore. I've never been able to find another moisturizer that had sun protection and both felt this natural on my skin and didn't smell weird. So, I can only help by ruling some options out. I've tried three other brands--Differin, Proactiv, and Take a Deep Breath from Philosophy, all of which are SPF 30. They're okay as actual sunscreens for when I'm really going to be out in the sun for a long time, but they still have that feeling of sitting on top of my skin instead of absorbing into it, as well as a sunscreen smell, so not what I want for daily wear when I'm only outside for a few minutes at a time. (Which the Sephora one was perfect for!) Among those three I think I like the Proactiv best, so it may be what I settle for if there isn't a real dupe out there, but it's definitely not the same 😞

@LauraD3 If it helps, I just saw an ad and Murad is offering 20% orders for first time shoppers from their website with the code MURAD20. But of course there's a down side to falling in love with a product that's over budget. Though it is possible to shop sales from multiple stores to keep stocked up, so???

I don't see anything on this site that's going to be cheaper than the Murad. Ulta has more affordable options, from brands like CeraVe, Neutrogena, and MyChelle.
