Murad's Clarifying Cleanser is formulated with two types of salicylic acid—a free form that starts to unclog pores immediately and an encapsulated form that continues sloughing off dead skin cells even after rinsing. Green tea extract helps soothe and calm irritation for clear, healthy skin. In a 3-day clinical study, 97% said our acne face wash dissolves excess oil, 94% said it deeply cleanses skin, 88% said it improves skin's overall appearance and 85% said it leaves pores feeling clean of impurities.

    Review Title: Amazing but strange

    Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 stars (Excellent)

    Reviewer Name: Julian (Verified Purchase)

    Review Date: 2025-09-15

    Customer Feedback:

    This is going to sound strange but I had been using this stuff for over a year before the 5oz. Bottle started to become depleted. The price was what was throwing me off about buying another one. Then I switched cleansers, first was CeraVe foaming facial cleanser. About a week into using it I started breaking out. I thought my skin was purging and gave it a month or two until I started to get cystic like pimples that took multiple weeks to heal and caused scaring. I then switched to Kiehl’s ultra facial cleanser which is $20 at the military base. My face did not do any better with that and gave up and reordered this cleanser but in the giant commercial bottle. I kid you not. Four days later my skin started to heal. I guess I’m stuck with this stuff for life. It’s like my skin was having withdrawals from not using this cleanser which is strange to me because it’s never happened to me before.

    Reviewer Name: Valerie C. (Verified Purchase)

    Review Date: 2025-06-20

    Customer Feedback:

    I recall the very first time I saw your commercial, you said that skin problems maynot always be asscoiated with acne. So I purchased this product and saw a tremendous difference in my skin. I stopped for a short period and then my skin went right back to looking unhealthy. I then decided that Murad's Acne Control Clarifying Cleanser has the right ingredients . I am never changing from this product. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants beautiful skin.
