Most Helpful Positive Review FINALLY! FINALLY! That is what I have to say!
I have been for years (since I was 13)trying to find a face wash that is just right for my skin type. (VERY oily, dries out easily, large pores, weird small acne bumps, redness)
I would go from product to product to product and I would never find one that really made a difference. I even tried Murad's acne cleanser (blue bottle) and I did notice a slight improvement. But after about 8 months of use I said eh its not enough and went on the hunt again.
I searched the Ulta website to see what were the best sellers and this came up. I scoped it out. I have read so many good things about the ingredients included in this product and along with the great reviews (on here and other sites I check them all)I said I MUST try this. I am so glad I did.
In just a few washes I could see my pores become smaller, my skin felt smooth and soft but in no way dry or stripped. My redness is almost nothing and my weird little bumps have gone away. I have used this product for a good month now and I am in love with it. So much so that I'm going to be purchasing a pairing product from this line from Murad to use with it. (some soft of moisturizer)
I am glad to say that I am done looking for a face wash product. This is it.
Side note, I did not notice a huge improvement on the oiliness of my skin. It still remained about that same. However, I am fully aware that is just my skin type and not a whole lot can really change that. But for those of you looking for that info there ya go. :)
Most Helpful Critical Review Harsh(not for everyone) I have normal/combination skin. My only problem area is really my nose(pores and blackheads) and my chin(occasional whiteheads and blackheads) a tiny bit. I bought this product because I've been on a lengthy search to find something to help clean out my pores and serve as an exfoliant. It smells super clean and leaves your skin feeling the same way and polished at the same time with the help of little beads inside. When I started using this product, my skin wasn't bad at all I just had problems with blackheads and enlarged pores on my nose as I said above. I used this product twice in the span of a week as instructed and everything was fine at first, but within a few days of the second use my skin broke out like crazy. I got pimples where I've never had them before like on my cheeks and forehead. When this happened I thought it was just purging everything out of my skin but this breakout lasted for WEEKS. I have no idea if it was an allergic reaction, I didn't have any puffiness but this product didn't work for me at all. I'm not trying to bash this product, just sharing my experience because I know I find it helpful to read both good and bad reviews on products to really get the full scoop. My guess is that the chemicals in it were too drying for my skin causing it to overproduce oil.

Jennabri from Cincinnati, ohio
I got this product in boxy charm and was nervous to use it. After the first use I am addicted and will continue to use it. I noticed my pores were smaller and cleaner in one use and was shocked. My pores have never looked this good. If I go a few days without it my pores clog and as soon as I use it again they look amazing! Love it

love love love 5
Roachie from Ohio
this cleanser is by far the best I've used. it clears up any zits I have it that are starting to form. it feels gentle and not over drying, doesn't make your skin feel extremely tight. I just wish I would've found it sooner, this is a holy grail for me.
love it 5
Hart from Houston

Shelly Chell from Los Angeles,CA
This product feels good a little goes a long way,

Irritated skin 1
Emma from Virginia
Made my skin feel like sand paper w red spots. I know it was this bc i only introduced this. Really made my skin bad still recovering
My favorite exfoliator! 5
Taylor from Virginia, USA
Easily my favorite exfoliator that I have used. My face always feels fresh, smooth, and clean after using. My skin can get irritated by certain products but it hasn't been bothered by this one. I use it every other day
Really helps with the Mask-ne 5
Brit from Philly
I've used this for over a year now, but this has really been a savior during COVID wearing masks all the time and having my skin be more oily than usual. It really clears out the grease and dirt from my pores and leave my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. I typically use it in the shower and I never feel dry or tight after. This is my 4th time buying this cleanser!
It was ok 3
Letty from Alaska
I felt like it exfoliated my face and I didn't mind the smell. It made my face dry over a week though (used 3x/week) I noticed 2-3 pimples forming on my face when I normally do not have any. I also feel like it made my face look more dull and my pores appear. Going back to my old skin regimen.
Wonderful! 5
jfredette from Massachusetts
User twice a day. Helps remove dead skin skins and all the flakes
Oily combo- read me! 4
Sam from HNL
This heffa is strong! It really helps control my t-zone and keeps my little pimples in place. I use this after cleansing 2x/week. I don't tone my face afterwards because this is enough, unless you want to strip your face! It can be drying for those with oily skin so use a thick moisturizer after applying other night products.

For those w/ acne, please do it once a week! My cousin suffers from acne. We both use this and we have the same skin type (I don't have acne). He produces more oil. Use it in the PM! Unless you want to walk around during the day looking like a grease bucket!! Try niacinamide after exfoliating. It'll help control oil production.
Good but confused... 4
Kenzie from INDIANAPOLIS
I like this product but I'm confused as to why it says formulated without sulfates or parabens when they are both listed as ingredients..
Left face feeling greasy 1
Cassieb from NH
I've been using an AHA/BHA cleanser from the spa where I get my facials. I Bought this as a replacement and was sad it didn't live up to the expectations I had from my current product. The scent is not very pleasant either.
Doesn't irritate my sensitive skin 4
Christina from Austin, TX
I have been looking for a AHA/BHA product that doesn't cause redness or irritation and this seems to do that.
Bye blackheads! 5
R from California
After only a couple of uses, the tiny blackheads on my nose are completely gone! I'm only using it 2-3 times a week as AHA/BHAs are kind of harsh on my skin and it's not recommended for every day use. I got this on sale so if I continue loving it, I'll splurge and buy it full price.
Great for gentle exfoliation 5
Nufi from Philadelphia, PA
I use this cleanser every other day and I love it for gentle exfoliation. It's pricey, but I stock up when it's on sale and it does last a long time.
Great cleanser for sensitive dry skin 5
Karina from Redding, Ca
I use this product two to three times per week to exfoliate and I love it. This is my second bottle. The first one lasted me at least two months. It's great for sensitive dry skin because it is non drying and hydrating. I will definitely continue to use it.
Leaves Skin Soft and Smooth 5
Dane Dane from Orange County, CA
I love how Muriad's Exfoliating Cleanser is genial but gets the work done. It says you can use it daily (morning and night) but I use it 3-4 times a week in the PM only. Works great - removes dead skin cells and leaves me smooth and soft.
I would buy this product again 5
April from Tn
I use this about 3 times a week and it makes my skin so soft and smooth.
This is IT!!! 5
Cybbie113 from Bellingham, Wa
I have been using this for a number of years and my only complaint is the price. I stretch my bottle by using it 2-3 times a week instead of daily. A pea size amount is all that's needed. So, it does last a long time. My skin is so soft and smooth after use. It's non drying.
Really Good Product 5
Kaiya from Texas
I truly enjoyed that the product isn't super rough and it made my skin smooth and soft. It also helps that you only need to use it once or twice a week.
MURAD for the win... AGAIN 5
Sandra from Florida
I use this twice a week, before I use my Murad Clarifying Cleanser. It does a great job at exfoliating my skin! Will definitely repurchase!
A good exfoliator but a little harsh 4
Hina from Katy, TX
I used it once in 2 days and that worked well for me. Still does dry out the skin.
Well Worth the $ 5
Claire from California
I bought this during the 30 days of summer sale on a whim, but I am so glad I did. I had been having trouble with congested pores causing breakouts. A few uses of this exfoliater has already improved my skin. It looks and feels so much better. I will definitely be purchasing this again.
High quality product 5
Labrat from Shadyside, OH
I am in my 40s but still struggle with clogged pores and stubborn blackheads. I didn't want to spend this much on a cleanser, but it works. My skin is so smooth and my pores are much cleaner thanks to this. I use it at night a few days a week. At first I peeled a bit.... therefore I wouldn't recommend it for those with sensitive skin.
