Continuous treatment for breakouts well beyond rinse-off

Details

The ultimate gel cleanser that helps dissolve excess oil, purify pores, clear acne-causing bacteria, and treat existing blemishes while preventing new acne breakouts. 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. Our acne cleanser is perfect for oily skin with visible shine. It effectively clears acne while preserving the skin barrier.

Reviews

Wonderful product!

"I bought this with the toner for my father & he went from ruining pillowcases and having to change his pillowcase every night from the exorbitant amount of oil on his face, to living a completely normal life! 100% worth the (for me anyway) big price tag. Murad ALWAYS is worth the money & I'll only say that about one other beauty/health skin brand."

Samantha M. (5/5)

Best bang for your buck

"This is my go to cleanser and I love that it come in a large size with a pump. I've tried others but this one does it all. Not only does it control oil but it helps keep my skin clear. It also lasts forever, since one pump is all I need to get a rich lather to clean my skin."

Megan (5/5)

Acne treatment

"10/10 I highly recomend. Im an acne person and thanks to cleanser my skin feels clean. I loved it."

Meliza H. (5/5)

Maybe Cheaper, Oh But You Pay. . .

"The cleansers that are considered comparable to Murad Clarifying Cleaner all have something else in common. They ALL have ingredients that clog pores and trigger breakout for acne-prone skin. Not thanks. Exact opposite of what I want."

Shirley (5/5)

Great Face Wash

"The only face wash that was able to successfully calm down my acne prone skin after years of trying to find a solution."

Ricky (5/5)

"Love it"

Laura (5/5)

Highly recommend

"I started this product along time ago and up until I came across the infomercial nothing really worked on my skin. After I started using this many years ago my family were the first to see how much this product cleared my skin up. For that reason alone I will always come back to this product."

Eric H. (5/5)

Best wash

"Have been using this since I was 15 now 21 never over stripping in any climate for me"

Evin W. (5/5)

Always Works Best

"I have used this Murad cleanser on and off (almost exclusively in the past few years) for nearly ten years. It’s the only cleaner that works for my skin without over drying. I probably see only a few pimples a year and they disappear within a day or two if I’m consistently using Murad. I use 1x nightly before going to bed and use a light water based moisturizer. My skin feels fresh and the smell is so clean. That’s all I need. I recommend Murad all the time!"

Q&A

about how long does the 2 OZ bottle last? compared to the bigger sizes?
It depends on how much you use. Keep in mind that you only need a pea size and it should last a few weeks.
Can I use this face wash on scalp because it contains Salicylic acid?
It has not been tested on the scalp. We would recommend performing a patch test prior to applying all over.
How long will a 6.75 fl oz last if I use it twice a day?
We have found that typically it will last 3 months as it only takes a small amount.
