- Asked by Gi

I used this product for 5-6 weeks and my face got worse, but finally I figured it out. Treat this cleanser like medicine, use it morning and night, rub it on your face and count to at least 20 while you do so. My theory is this: it's kinda like when you take antibiotics, but not all of them, you ki...

Not as good as it use to be
I have been using this cleanser by Murad for many years. About a year ago, they changed the formula. It is now seems to be more watery than the version before it, you have to use more of it than before. I think that it's an expensive product as it it, and for them to change the formula so that one n...

HOLY RED HOT AND SPICY!!!
it burned as I was washing and 24 hrs later my skin is red and hurts.
Yes!
One day a few months ago, my skin nust decided if hated me. Ive been on the hunt for ANYTHING that would help. Its not been just a little bump here or there. Its been terrible DEEP cystic acne. All over my face and neck. I happened to see this at shme shmay shmax and omg its changed my life. My face has cleared up so good. I will continue to buy this here. Yes its pricey but i promise you its so worth it. I dont do reviews but i know theres a fellow old gal like me in the trenches
Avoid the 13.5 largest size bottle.
The cleanser itself is okay, it leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed but it does tend to dry my face out and the biggest problem I had was with the largest 13.5 oz size. The pump is completely useless, you get not even a full pump out and then it is stuck in that position so your only choice is to unscrew the pump and get the cleanser off that way. Can be harsh and dry your skin especially the corners of your mouth I'd follow up with a good moisturizer. I think it is way over priced, Murad has always been super expensive.
Not the best but good
This product is not good if you want your makeup removed but its really good if you have a bit of acne. My skin feels fresh after every use and the effect its good. You maybe not like it by the minty aftertaste but i like it so it depends on you. Its pricey YES, worth the price? I dont think so, they are way cheaper options for the same thing but if you are looking for something a bit high end this may be good for you.
EFFECTIVE
My favorite cleanser! Did miracles on my acne and cystic acne! Clears skin too!!
