- Q
Can this be used for back acne?
- Asked by Monymony
- Official Answer By Murad - Sampling + BEYes, it most certainly can as it contains salicylic, glycolic, lactic acids and jojoba beads. Keep in mind that we do have the Acne Body Wash. Patented, award winning triple action formula cleanses, exfoliates and treats the skin clearing the breakouts you have and preventing those you don’t. Salicylic acid and date seed powder deep cleans and treat pores and humectants help lock in moisture. Skin is left smoother and more clear.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can I use this for Milia everyday or should I alternate with another cleanser and if so which one? There are so many. Thank you!
- Asked by Suzzy
- Official Answer By Murad - Sampling + BEYou want to use the AHA BHA Exfoliating Cleanser 2 or 3 times per week and the rest of the time use a cleanser formulated for daily use. You may also want to consider a treatment such as the Replenishing Multi Acid Peel as it gently exfoliates the skin and can be used daily.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can this help with PK/chicken skin?
- Asked by Addi
- Official Answer By Murad - Sampling + BEAre 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!
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 ...

Feels Fantastic!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This exfoliating cleanser is extremely gentle and glides on your skin to remove any impurities. I love how this product makes my skin feel soft and smooth without drying. My skin feels fantastic after using this product!

Not for sensitive skin, otherwise nice
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This cleanser came in nice packaging, and the size is definitely nice for the price. When I used it, I noticed there is no fragrance or scent which is great for sensitive skin; however, this cleanser was slightly too strong for my sensitive skin and caused a very mild breakout. My skin ft smooth and very clean aside from the slight irritation, so if you don't have sensitive skin this may work nicely for you. It also didn't leave my skin overly dry, which was great!
Excellent Exfoliant
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love the AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser by Murad. As someone with sensitive skin, I don't typically use exfoliators, as they can often do more harm than good. However, when I read the reviews of this product, I was excited to try it. I'm happy to say that I am glad that I did. The AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser gently exfoliates, removing dead skin, without harming your skin's natural barrier. I love been using it before I shave my face to help get a cleaner shave. It feels great going on and leaves my face glowing coming off. I would highly recommend.

Love this
I can confidently say it's one of those cleansers that actually does something beyond just washing your face. First, the texture: it has very fine exfoliating beads that give you that physical scrub feeling, but it's not overly harsh. What makes it stand out is that it combines physical exfoliation with chemical exfoliation AHA & BHA, so you're getting a deeper clean without having to use a separate exfoliating treatment afterward. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.
Excellent Exfoliater
I received this product in exchange for my honest review. The bottle is simple and easy to use. Murad is a good brand that I've tried before. This cleanser is great at making my skin soft and smooth. I like that it doesn't irritate my skin. It doesn't have a scent, but it's meant to make your face look and feel better after the stressors of the day. It absorbs into my skin well and doesn't leave anything on me.
