Reviews

The best face wash ever

"This face wash has saved my skin. I'm 42 and I've always had acne issues. In my 30's my skin settled down but in my 40s I'm noticing much more acne that my normal face wash wasn't handling. My skin was totally clogged and getting wrinkles. After using this face wash the acne is gone and so are the wrinkles. My skin looks better than even. If you're in the same boat, don't hesitate the salicylic acid in this really does the trick and the fresh feeling after using this is amazing. I swear by this stuff. Please Murad never stop making this. I share this with my teenager and it has helped them tremendously."

Hands down the best cleanser

"My whole house loves this stuff. It’s wonderful for acne prone skin or even the occasional blemish."

— Dparke (5/5)

Bigger is better

"Love this product, love that I can get it in a larger size. This usually lasts 3 months between me and my husband and works like a charm would not recommend for dry skin."

— Keriwin R. (5/5)

"Love this cleanser. Ive been ising ot fot years."

Great cleanser! Best values!

"I have been using Murad cleansers for 20+ years. This cleanser is fantastic for combo skin. It is gentle enough to use daily and it cleanses without making your skin overly dry. It also does a great job keeping blemishes at bay. I highly recommend."

— Jennifer V. (5/5)

The best cleanser

"Best cleanser ever"

— Saif A. (5/5)

Great for sensitive oily acne prone skin

"I had oily acne prone skin but my skin is also super sensitive so a lot of acne cleanser are too harsh. This leaves my face feeling clean but not dry and tight. I've tried a bunch of other brands of salicylic acid face wash from cerave to lrp to Vichy but this one seems to work the best for me. If I run out or use something else on a weekend trip my skin definitely notices it"

— Lauryn R. (5/5)

When your Face Wash Becomes a Full-Body Hero.

"I’m honestly obsessed with the Murad Acne Control Clarifying Cleanser (especially the value size). I’ve been using it all over my body, and it’s made such a difference. After about two months, the breakouts on my back and chest have pretty much disappeared. I wasn’t expecting it to work this well, but now it’s a must-have in my body care routine."

— Cassandra B. (5/5)

Q&A

What happened to the Vaule Size Toner???
We are so sorry however it is no longer going to be offered on the website.
Why is this continuously sold out in various sizes ? I hope you limit purchase quantities so that resellers don’t buy them all up. Best product for my face. I’ve been using it for years.
We anticipate the cleanser will return to inventory at the end of March. We do have it available on our Amazon store.
I’ve been using this product for years, and love it. But, Is this safe to use while pregnant and/or breastfeeding?
Murad carefully assesses our products and ingredients to ensure they are safe for use. Because every person and pregnancy is unique, we recommend you seek your doctor's advise if you are unsure or have any questions about the products you use during pregnancy and/or lactation.
How often it can be used?
You can use the Clarifying Cleanser both morning and evening.
What is the difference between this and the cream cleanser? Is this product also a tebranded version of the anti-aging time release cleanser?
Same product! New Branding and name, but it's the same exact formula.
