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 live this product my skin has Improved so much in such a short amount of time. I finally found a product that works perfect for my skin.
It works, but be CAREFUL.
I have stubborn acne but I also have combination skin, so some areas are dry and sensitive. Those dry and sensitive areas became very irritated and very dry after using this twice daily. Im talking chemical burn. However, it did clear my acne by about 70%-80% (best results I have seen from any product on my skin). When I reduced using this to once a day and used different cleanser for my 2nd wash, it did not cause irritation. I recommend this for people who have closer to oily skin, or skin that is more resilient. On the other hand I definitely suggest to AVOID this product if you do have sensitive or dry areas.
Gave me chemical burn

- Official Answer By Murad - Sampling + BEKnowing the skin challenges, I would have your son use the Clarifying Cream Cleanser. It has salicylic acid as well but also has additional hydration.
