Best product EVER!!!
I'm in my early 30's. This is the best product I have ever used, and I have tried so many products. I have brown spots on my face from my pregnancy, and this product really did fade them, and even out my complexion. I saw a difference in one week of using it.

Drying, nothing special
I am mid 20s fair combination skin. I used this product during my morning shower as my main facial cleanser. I found that it dried out my skin to the point of giving it a tight, flaky appearance.

It's help my face, it must be the vitamin C!
Brightens and lightens
I have been using this cleanser for one week now and after a couple of uses I noticed the brightening effect. My face looks brighter and my dark patches now seem to be lightening up. I have age spots as well as sun damage on my face from long outdoor runs. Yes, I used sunscreen but didn't reapply. This has really helped lighten them up. I would definitely recommend this.
Sun damage be gone
Verified Buyer
I have been using this entire line from Murad for the past 2 years. I had severe sun damage from a 1st degree sunburn to my face 30 years ago. Using these products as directed my dark sun damage has reduced significantly and my self-confidence is back!!
Love it
46 combination skin… feels soft and clean when using this product. I just bought Philosophy on a whim and like that too, but I think I should have stayed with tried and true. I love this
Murad Essential C Cleanser
Verified Buyer
I've used this cleanser exclusively for 10+ yrs. I have combination skin and am in my 60's. After use always feels clean and soft. None of the dryness or tight feeling I've experienced of other products years past. Would like it to cost a little less but the science and years of work by Dr Murad has put into perfecting this product is really worth it.
