"Love the larger size and pump to dispense the cleanser … super easy and convenient !"
"I have been using this cleanser for years. Feels good on the skin, no irritation, gentle and effective cleanser."
"Have used this for a few years now- since 2003 or so- and hoping it is never discontinued or reformulated to be more aggressive. Have sensitive skin that looks really good when I use this cleanser- it feels gently clarifying and leaves skin glowy and clear. The citrus is fab and reminds me of Rachel Perry citrus face wash!! My skin can break out or get itchy welts if I use the wrong products, and this cleanser has consistently left my skin looking and feeling better, calm and balanced. Please never discontinue!!"
"I love this cleanser. It removes all makeup, etc from my face. I do not find it to be too drying and, at 80, I am extremely careful with what I use. I love Murad and trust their products."
"Good Foaming gel with a refreshing citrus scent cleanses without over-drying"
"I love using this cleanser for everyday use. I really can’t wash my face without any of the Murad cleansers. Leaves my face feeling silky smooth and ready for the day or at night, I’m ready to use my nighttime serums or night creams. Just love it!"
