Balancing the microbiome: a revolutionary route to clearer skin

DETAILS

Your skin is home to millions of perfectly balanced, individual bacteria known as your microbiome. Your microbiome protects like a second layer of skin. Scientific research shows that bacteria can sense and “talk” to each other to form a group. And as a group, these bacteria can throw off skin barrier balance, triggering the irritation associated with breakouts, including maskne. Clarifying Water Gel contains innovative technology that interrupts communication so bacteria can’t form a group and cause an imbalance. The result? Your microbiome stays balanced, dryness is reduced, and you see clearer, healthier-looking skin!

    Review Title: Cleared my hormonal acne without drying

    Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 stars (Excellent)

    Reviewer Name: Heather E. (Verified Purchase)

    Review Date: 2025-06-14

    Customer Feedback:

    When I tell you that I tried EVERYTHING to clear my adult hormonal cystic acne, believe me. I even went to an aesthetician and spent thousands of dollars on laser treatments and expensive creams, washes and exfoliants that they sold me. They made my skin worse. I then got an ad for this product, and decided to give it a try since I’ve liked other Murad products. The first night I used it, I woke up the next morning with calmer skin. The cysts were already getting smaller. Within a week, my skin was much clearer. Now, a month later, my skin is glowing and completely clear! Im so happy I could cry!! Literally the holy grail product for me!

    Review Title: Clarifying Water Gel A MUST Have

    Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 stars (Excellent)

    Reviewer Name: Shirley (Verified Purchase)

    Review Date: 2025-05-20

    Customer Feedback:

    The Clarifying Water Gel is one of those products that you try once and wonder why you were using anything else. I envy anyone trying this for the first time. I have acne prone skin; oil based moisturizer on my face just feels wrong. \nThe CWG is so lightweight AND moisturizing, no clue how Murad pulled that off. I think magic.

    Customer Feedback:

    This is great for a night moisturizer. I found if I try to use under makeup it pills. Good scent and texture. Would have given 5 stars if not for the pills.

    Review Date: 2025-05-23

    Customer Feedback:

    Doesn’t do much. The gel consistency feels nice going on, but it’s not particularly moisturizing. I do like that it doesn’t leave my skin with a greasy shine like a lot of moisturizers, but it doesn’t do much.

    Customer Feedback:

    I have been using Dr Murad for years since I was 24 years old . I also use a spot treatment for blemishes occasionally , which tends to dry my skin especially in these winter months. I tried this moisturizer and all the flaky skin from the spot treatment and around my nose disappeared in two days.
