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 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 ...

Gentle cleanser
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Quite a nice gentle exfoliating cleanser, certainly more for combination or oily skin more than dry, it would be too strong, does a good job cleansing and leaves a fresh clean layer of skin.
My fav now
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really like this product. Use it to battle my congested T-zone and dull skin texture and I am very happy with the result. My skin looks brighter and smoother. It is very effective with my combination skin. The gel/ cream is such a dream when applying and rinsing. I love it!
Clean Skin
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This stuff is AMAZING!!!! Great packaging full of product, nice scent, thick consistency, and the small exfoliant beads clean your face perfectly! My skin has never felt better!
Terrible face wash. Fantastic for shoulders/knees!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] In summary: has beads/granules that are very rough for sensitive skin on face. Fantastic for knees/elbows! Pros: no fragrance, good amount of product in the tube. Creamy without being too foamy. Cons: the beads in the wash plus having the chemical exfoliants was waaay to much for my sensitive dry skin on my face. This was just using it gently for a few seconds. It does an excellent job on thicker skin like my upper back and knees.
Gentle formula
Overall it's a nice non irritating formula that didn't dry out your skin. I didn't experience any break outs while using it and it was it was effective also. The only downside for me is that it's a little harder to wash off. It's a little too smooth so you have to wash multiple times before feeling like the product is off of your skin.
