According to my app and the ingredients list of my cleanser and this toner it says that thes products shouldn't be used together. This is because the toner has a peptide and the cleanser has direct acid. Are there any cleansers that do work with this toner?

I have been using this toner as I have combination skin. It leaves my face feeling tight and clean. Now that I am approaching 40 and live in a more humid environment with harsher winters should I switch to a hydrating toner ans which one? I want to fight aging, reduce lines, but retain moisture. Should I be switching from blue toner or orange or purple in the winter?
- Asked by TJ
- Official Answer By MuradBoth the Essential C Toner and the Hydrating Toner would be appropriate. If you have concerns regarding environmental damage, such as living in a more humid environment with a lot of sun, the Essential C Toner would be great! For more harsher times of the year, the Hydrating Toner would be a perfect choice!Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
I have combination oily skin and after using the cleansing wash and this toner my face is incredibly dry. should I change the wash, toner or both?
- Asked by Marie
- Official Answer By MuradIt is highly recommended to use a moisturizer with an SPF in the day and a moisturizer at night to hydrate your skin even if your skin is oily. The key with oily skin is to make sure you're hydrating. With no moisture at all your skin would become dehydrated and begin to over-compensate by producing more oil.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
I've used this oner before but my question is I have been using the witch hazel (alcohol free) toner and I was wondering is it that bad to use another toner from another brand? Or no? I know the clarifying toner has alcohol so I'm kinda ehh bout it because I try not to use alcohol on my face AT ALL!
- Asked by Esteban
- Official Answer By MuradMurad products are formulated to work together. Some Murad products do contain a certain type of alcohol. Alcohol, in the context of cosmetic formulations, is a frequently misunderstood ingredient. This is despite the fact that it can be extremely beneficial in a particular formula. A mild cosmetic alcohol, Specially Denatured (SD) Alcohol (SDA) is an excellent delivery vehicle commonly used in astringents, toners, and gels. SD Alcohol is not necessarily dehydrating to the skin when it is mixed with other moisture-binding ingredients. Clients with oily prone and acne prone skin can benefit from formulations containing SDA. Generally, SDA is a mild, non-dehydrating, non-irritating, cosmetic alcohol used as a vehicle to improve the efficacy of a particular product. Combined with other ingredients, it is an ideal vehicle to allow better skin penetration.Was this answer helpful to you

- Asked by segg

Will this toner unclog pores on forehead?
- Asked by Madelyn
- Official Answer By MuradThe Clarifying Toner is going to help as it contains salicylic acid which kills bacteria. Witch hazel helps to purify the skin while controlling oil production and gently tightening the pores. Algae extract aids in reducing sebum (oil) production while grape seed extract and vitamin e protect your skin from free radical damageWas this answer helpful to you
- Q
I have very oily skin, would this help after the clarifying cleanser?
- Asked by oilymess
- Official Answer By MuradThe Clarifying Toner will help reduce oil and tightens pores. You may want to try our Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15 l PA++ too. Our oil mattifier is a shine-reducing moisturizer that creates an immediate matte surface and controls oil for up to 8 hours. Oil-Control Complex® helps regulate oil production while preserving moisture to provide a long-lasting matte finish.Was this answer helpful to you

Does this help with dark scars , I'm a 17yr old African American woman and lately there has been scarring on my face due to acne ... would this help
- Asked by Mariam
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertThis toner was designed to help eliminate oil and dirt and to help regulate oil production. It does not contain ingredients that would reduce acne scarring. For this we would recommend Post-Acne Spot Lightening Gel, Item #: 2146523, this helps to fade discoloration caused by acne. You could also try AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser, Item #: 2082342, this well help to speed up cell turnover to get rid of dullness and help minimize darkness. Or Intensive-C Radiance Peel - this is more like a mask that will immediately brighten and help reduce darker pigmentation caused by scarring or sun damage. Item #: 2243807Was this answer helpful to you

This is AWESOME!
I have had bad skin since I was 12, and I'm almost 50 (!) now. I use various products, some high-end, some not, and generally not Murad, but this has got to be the best addition to my routine in a really long time. I've found that I need to use a benzoyl peroxide 2.5% product plus products with sa...

Good if you want no alcohol
I was looking for a toner without alcohol in it [...] I thought this product was good for those who are looking for non-alcohol toners but can still clean your face after washing. I was breaking out and was looking for a good toner. I used this for a week and had to return it because I thought it wa...

Not for the faint-skinned
This toner can be harsh sometimes. It might burn like once a week but by god does my skin feel soooo clean after I use it. I have oily acne-prone skin so while I have to alter the rest of my routine on the occasional night it does zing, it really works wonders! 100% not for those with sensitive skin!

This is my first time trying this toner and i honestly dont know how to feel about it, it has a really strong smell maybe like an alcohol smell, and it burns my eyes maybe i got to closed to the eye area but it was burning for like 5 minutes, it makes my face feel clean at first but then after a while it does makes it oily, im going to give it one more try and then decided.

I dont even know how this product works unfortunately because I didn't survive using it more than twice. The smell of it made me gag so I had to return. I absolutely love Murad's clarifying acne face wash so I thought I would get this to go with the wash, but I just couldn't get past the smell.
