- Q
Can this help with PK/chicken skin?
- Asked by Addi
- Official Answer By MuradAre you referring to Keratosis pilaris? If you are, yes, it most definitely can help. You can use it 2 or 3 times per week on the affected areas. Additionally the Retinal Resculpt Body Firming Treatment would be a great product to use daily because retinal works by promoting cell turnover and preventing plugged hair follicles.Was this answer helpful to you

Finally a cleaner with all 3 acids! And then Murad put in 2 parabens. Question for use. How can we see the long term benefits of the AHA, BHA, and salicylic acids in youth renewal if the parabens killed us with lady cancer first? Why Murad.

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 rea...

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 ...

It's Alright…
This isn't my favorite cleanser from Murad. I typically use the Brightening Vitamin C line and much prefer that over this one. While I do alternate between the two, I find myself reaching for the Vitamin C cleanser more often. I probably wouldn't repurchase the AHA/BHA cleanser.
love
I really love this product I struggle with acne on my chin especially during my time of the month. my skin has never looked better! I always had little white heads the ones under the surface and it took those away. the only thing I would say it doesn't seem to get rid of black heads. when i look in the mirror I see very tiny black heads still but overall I am extremely happy with this product. I couldn't find a good before picture but the one I have before I'm wearing makeup and the after no make up!
Downsized bottle by 1.75 oz
This has been my tried and true since 2021. Just restocked recently and noticed the new bottle was signatifically smaller than my bottle that just ran out. Old bottle is 6.75 oz while the new one is 5.0... and also remains at the same price as before. This is actual highway robbery. These corps need to do bettter. I will be finding a new AHA wash.
I would buy this again
So this stuff is amazing my face felt so soft and clean a little bit go a long way there is no yucky smell which I hate using a smelly cleanser on my face I also would so buy this again
The best exfoliating cleanser
Omg my face was so soft and super clean no yucky smells a little bit goes a long way whatever those things they use to exfoliate your skin felt amazing I wish I would have bought a bigger bottle of it
