I used this product for 5-6 weeks and my face got worse, but finally I figured it out. Treat this cleanser like medicine, use it morning and night, rub it on your face and count to at least 20 while you do so. My theory is this: it's kinda like when you take antibiotics, but not all of them, you ki...

Not as good as it use to be
I have been using this cleanser by Murad for many years. About a year ago, they changed the formula. It is now seems to be more watery than the version before it, you have to use more of it than before. I think that it's an expensive product as it it, and for them to change the formula so that one n...

Murad Acne Cleanser
I never have written a review but i would like to let those know who might face similar issues. I have oily, acne prone, not so sensitive but depends on my diet. I would use this in the mornings and was trying to figure out why my eyes would get so watery. To preface, i dont rub the cleanser around my eyes and i use an eye cream at night. I used my other cleanser and i was fine. Ill use up the rest of this cleanser on my body but i wouldnt suggest on your face. It has a nice cooler affect which some people would think it feels more burning. My skin loves salicylic acid but i think its the tea tree oil and parfum being the last ingredient on the list that could be burning eyes. Hope this helps!
Accidental purchase turned into regular product!!
I accidentally bought this since it looks similar to the murad mattifying moisturizer I use. Well since I've been using this 2 weeks and its gotten rid of my stubborn acne I double cleanse with my cerave face wash for oily skin and then use the murad wash then follow with moisturizer. Im 24 and still struggle with hormonal and stubborn acne and this has already almost completely gotten rid of everything!!! Helloo to clear skin days and confidence< 3
Not sure if it has helped with break outs
Smells good lots of lather
Great for Dry, Sensitive Skin
Perfect balance of cleansing the skin without causing dryness like most facial cleansers
It burned my face
My skin is painful and super dry after using this cleanser. I have red/burned spots under my eyes
