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.

No , can't believe it broke my skin out !! 1

I'm so hurt and disappointed!
LOVE THIS! 5
Eileen L-R from Brick NJ
I use this every other day. I alternate with charcoal face wash. There are not enough skin products on the market for my age group with oily olive/sallow skin. Only a lot of Retinol. Retinol does not work for everyone.
Works for dry skin! 5
Betty from Arizona
I love this cleanser I have the most dry & sensitive skin & breakout every once in a while & I haven't broke out since, you NEED it!!
Holy grail exfoliating cleanser 5
ShelStar from OKC
I tried this product about a year ago for the first time. Upon first use, I liked it. Gentle manual exfoliation combined with chemical exfoliation seemed like a great combination. My skin reacted well and I noticed smoother, clearer skin as I used it more. I ended up using this as my shower face wash every other morning. I ran out about three months ago but could not justify the high price for replacing a cleanser… however I've seriously missed this! I've noticed more texture and more frequent blemishes, and the only thing in my fairly strict skin care routine that changed was this cleanser replaced by a drugstore similar product. I decided to repurchase this and after only a few uses, I'm already seeing an improvement with brighter smoother skin. It's worth the splurge because one container lasts a long time for me, about 8-9 months with use 3-4 times per week.
My favorite cleanser! 5
Kathy from Lompoc, CA
I love this product and continue to purchase it. I specifically like the jojoba beadlets that cleanse my face.
Just right! 5
Ashley S. from Collierville, TN
I love the size of the exfoliating beads in this cleanser. They're not so small that you can't feel them but they're also not so big that you know it's going to be harsh on your skin. So glad this is now available in a travel size!
My Go To Cleanser! 5
Salena from Houston, TX
I love the ingredients in this. Helps with blemishes as well as aging. I have recommended this product to several friends and they all love it as well. I like to use it with my Clarisonic.
Oily/acne prone skin hates it! 2
Roxy from Salinas
Broke out my face but nice for body. I bought this to use as a face wash to exfoliate my skin but every time I used it I got terrible cystic breakouts. I switched to using it on other parts of my body that could use the exfoliation and it seemed alright.
I love it.... ♡♡♡ 5

I got this in one of my boxycharm base boxes and I loooove it it didn't irritate my skin ♡♡♡❤
Wow! I'll keep buying this one for sure! 5
Walkinonsunshine from Philadelphia, PA
This cleanser makes my pores look incredible and my skin feel so smooth! I've been using it for about a year now, and I no longer use pore strips or anything like that; the Murad cleanser is plenty. I intend to keep buying this. I usually stock up during sales; it's so worth the cost.
Good product, bad price 4
Tara from Frederick
I have definitely noticed a difference in my texture since starting this product as my nighttime cleanser in the shower. Would be 5 stars if it were a little cheaper.
Contains Parabens when description says formulated without 2
Jackie16 from Texas
Ok I admit I like the product. The grains for exfoliation are very small and not scratchy. I'm giving 2 stars because the description says "Formulated without parabens" but the last 2 ingredients are clearly part of the paraben family! Rating as a 9/10 on EWG skin deep. What the? I've had this product for a while now, but now that I'm a bit more "health conscious" and checking all my product's labels, this one might have to get thrown out...
Visible improvement 5
cactus flower from Las Vegas NV
I buy this for my boyfriend and he actually uses it. I see visible improvement in his skin because of this product.
I would not purchase again 2
Tia from California
I really wanted to like this cleanser because I had such high hopes for it work wonders on my skin. I used this product and I did not stop breaking out. I continued using it because I thought my skin was just purging but there was no end to the breakouts.
WOW!!! 5
LIZZZ from NY
This is by far the best exfoliating cleansers I've tried. I've struggled finding anything that contains aha/bha that doesn't wreck my skin. It is super gentle, even the little physical grains in it, and my skin felt like silk after. All my essences and serums soaked so nicely into my skin. I'm glowing!!! I only used this for the first time tonight, and I am so happy I bought this! I finally found my exfoliant! If you have been on the fence, this is your sign to get it.
Game changer! 5
Lani from Orlando, FL
You guys I never write reviews but this product is that good. Up until recently I have always had clear skin but this year I had a MAJOR breakout, clusters of cystic acne, and scarring all which lasted months on end and nothing was working. I was about to visit a dermatologist but decided to try this as a last resort and when I tell you this cleared my skin. I've used it every night for about 2 months and I haven't had a breakout since. For reference my skin is normally dry but occasionally oily in the T zone.
I would buy this product again 5

I rally love the way my skin feels
Perfect for flaky skin 5
Rob from Miami
I have been using exfoliants for as long as I can remember (I'm 30 years old) and I have never found one that works as well as this one. I have oily and flaky skin so usually the rougher the better, which always leaves me skin red and irritated and often doesn't exfoliate evenly. I only use this product three times a week, it's silky soft and leaves me skin glowing. Bye bye flaky skin. It has greatly improved my skin texture and not only just after using it but in general. It can be slightly drying if I forget to moisturize afterwards, but so would anything in that case. It also only takes a little bit, so one bottle goes a long way. Definitely a keeper.
My dermatologist recommend this. 5

This has really helped my dry and scaley skin on my legs and arms.
Holy grail! 5
Ali from West palm beach
I suffer from milia so I decided to use this product in my skin care routine and let me tell you, it works! My face is much smoother, less textured, and looks much more vibrant!
I haven't used long. I like it so far. 4
Jen from Missouri
I haven't used long. I like it so far. It is great for exfoliating the skin.
A must! 5
Hailey from Lees summit MO
For combination skin this product is awesome! I highly recommend it!
My go to 5
Larissa from MA
This is my go to cleanser. Since using it I haven't looked back, it's been a few years now. This skips me having to do an exfoliant during the week as well. I tend to have dry, acne prone skin and this helps to offset that.
Smooth skin 5
Katie from Chicago
This is my favorite exfoliator and have been using it for months. I had some maskne on my jawline so I used this last night followed by Sanitas Brightening Peel Pads. When I woke up my skin felt so much smoother, I can't stop feeling my face!
