Murad Rocks!

by Elena

in Benton Harbor, MI on 9/29/09

Pros: Balances Skin, Gentle, Improves Skin Texture, Leaves Clean Feel

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: Combination Skin, Daily Use, Oily Skin

Bottom Line: recommended

My only regret is that Murad products weren't around when I had teenage acne over 40 years ago. It has kept my skin acne free for several years now and it is gentle enough to use twice a day. It does not dry the skin out. I use a complexion brush to apply the cleanser. I've tried all brands of acne cleansers and Murad Clarifying Cleanser beats them all.

Not Worth $$

Pros: Leaves Clean Feel

Cons: Ineffective

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: Combination Skin

Bottom Line: not recommended

I did not think this cleanser was worth the price. It didn't clear my skin up at all. What I finally realized was I was doing TOO much for my skin...scaled back to phisoderm (a gentle cleanser) and one topical acne treatment and skin cleared up.

Overrated, not worth it

Bottom Line: not recommended

Salicylic acid is a terrible ingredient to be included in cleansers: first, it's just washed down the drain right away so there's no time for it to work, and second, it will get in your eyes & burn like hell. This product didn't work for me at all & it was very uncomfortable and made my eyes sting and tear.

Tingles as it works

Pros: Balances Skin, Improves Skin Texture, Leaves Clean Feel, Not Greasy, Smells Great

Best Uses: All Skin Types, Daily Use, Sensitive Skin

Bottom Line: recommended

This product worked better for me when I started combining it with the Murad Clarifying Toner. I little bit goes a long way. Even though it is [$]for 6 oz, it will last quite a while. I am 27 with adult acne and the Murad acne system is the only thing I have found that works for me (outside of going to a dermatologist).

Very nice

the WORST I've tried

by Gilda

in LA on 3/28/09

Cons: Horrible breakouts, Irritates Skin

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Bottom Line: not recommended

I tried this because of all the reviews and I was so excited about finding the perfect cleanser. For the first 2 weeks, I didn't notice anything. Then in that 3rd week, my face exploded! I read all over the internet that "your face is supposed to get worse before it gets better" but after another week of hanging in there, I just had to stop. My entire face, including places where i never had acne, broke out. I was horrified, even puberty didn't look this bad. Infuriated, I returned the cleanser and went back to my old cleanser and started taking Minocycline. I used masks every night and dried the heck out of my skin using 10% benzoyl peroxide just to dry up all the pimples. After a week, things finally went back to normal. If you have the patience to "wait and see" what happens after the "purging process" then by all means...try it. Everyone I know who has tried Murad was disappointed.

Tried entire Acne line

by Nicole

in Baltimore, MD on 3/9/09

Pros: Gentle, Leaves Clean Feel, Not Greasy

Cons: Expensive

Best Uses: All Skin Types

Bottom Line: recommended

I picked up the Murad acne line including this face wash, the toner, the exfoliating gel, the clay mask, and the lotion. I've been using them for 6 weeks now, and the overall texture of my skin is radiant and clear. I still have a few breakouts from high stress, but I really like this line. The lotion and clay masks are my favorites as they work better than any others I have ever found! However, I think some of the success is due to the fact that Murad does an excellent job with getting you into a routine. Every day and night I cleansed, toned, treated, and hydrated! So, due to the price, I think that if I stuck to a routine using drugstore brands, I could keep my face radiant and clear. I may keep the clay mask though since I wouldn't go through it as quickly. This wash was gentle and cleaned thoroughly, although it's slightly drying (but it's supposed to be). You must follow with at least a lotion, if not also the toner. I highly recommend this wash if used correctly with other items for a complete regiment.

Great!

Pros: Clarifies Skin, Gentle, Improves Skin Texture, Leaves Clean Feel

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Best Uses: Oily Skin, Problem skin

Bottom Line: recommended

I've tried a lot of products cheap and expensive, and this has been the best one I've used. With this I only needed to cleanse once a day and use a very small amount (from my observation, if I applied too much my skin would get a little irritated). I've moved on to more natural skincare products, but I still use this occasionally.

Very gentle

Cons: Dries Out Skin

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Best Uses: Oily Skin

Bottom Line: recommended

It really works great for skin that is prone to breakouts. a bit strong for me but would recommend for people with problem skin. I ordered the wrong one. Murad is the best when it comes to skincare and will buy again. This time I will get the one for normal skin.
