I've been using this cleanser for over a year and it has been wonderful. I am unsure of why there are so many negative reviews recently, perhaps there were defective items? I used to have bad cystic acne that would pop up every once in a while. I started with this cleanser and the serum in the same line. It helped immensely but it did take time. Give it at least a month before getting angry. Some things work and some things don't. That's life people. Anyways, I use this once per day, in the morning, and a more gentle cleanser at night. Because of this a bottle can last me more than 12 months. Amazing! I like that the ingredients fight acne continuously after you use it. Therefore I don't have to use additional acne products and can work on fighting other skin concerns like anti-aging. I start with a (yes, Murad) toner after cleansing, follow up with a serum and finally the Murad Essential C Day Moisture + SPF 30 to protect. It's the best moisturizer btw. I can't say enough great things about the product. It does what it claims and is super affordable especially for the quality. Once you receive your product check the expiration date to ensure that it's not expired (I mean, who really knows where these sellers got their items and how old they are??) This is how Murad explained it to me: The batch code on the product will provide you with the production date. The batch code consists of a letter-number-letter-number combination. The number represents the year of production and the 3rd letter represents the month it was produced. Sometimes there are two letters at the beginning, just focus on the number-letter combination. The code will be stamped on the bottom of the bottles/jar. For the tubes it will be stamped on the crimp when the back of the tube is facing you. For Example: N3L0 would have been created November of 2013 CC4F1 would have been produced June of 2014 CC5J2 would have been produced September 2015 We do not use the letter "I" in our codes. Below is the chart for the months of the year. A = January; B = February; C = March; D=April; E=May; F=June; G=July; H=August; J=September; K=October; L=November; M=December Any of our products, when stored properly and unused and unopened have a shelf life of 3 years unless there is an active ingredient listed. Active ingredients would include Salicylic Acid or sunscreens for example. These ingredients are listed separately from the other ingredients and their specific percentage is shown. In those cases the unused/unopened package has a shelf life of 2 years. Read more

Not literally, but you know what I'm trying to say. The product itself comes in very low profile packaging, and the almost prescription-like appearance makes everything easy to read and understand—it's one of the reasons why I like Murad products so much. But, you didn't come here to read about the packagaing. The product itself is incredibly good for what it does; I haven't had an acne flare up in quite some time thanks to it. I bought the travel-size for $12 because I was skeptical at first if it'd be good enough for my particular skin conditions, but it works great. The salicylic acid is a great ingredient for combating acne but I know it can cause flare ups in sensitive skin cases like I have. I can safely say that I haven't had any breakout or adverse effects thanks to it. The scent is nice and inoffensive likely thanks to the green-tea extract that's an ancillary ingredient in the blend, but it also provides a very nice, refreshed feeling and a clean slate to put moisturizers and other serums on afterwords. The cleanser lathers incredibly well for even a dime-sized amount which is about how much I use for my big ol' forehead and cheeks. It doesn't take a lot to get this stuff going. As I stated before I initially purchased the smaller, travel-friendly bottle of the solution and it wound up lasting me about a month, so this larger bottle is going to be an absolute value if you worry about shelling out $30 for a cleanser. To put it simply: it works, and it's worth it. Read more

I discovered Murad clarifying cleanser having a sample from Ipsy. I am 37 and have struggled with acne prone oily/combination skin for as long as I can remember. Using prescriptions and over the counter products for years never seeing stable results, or too much face washing product to upkeep. At first use I was absolutely pleased with Murad Clarifying Cleanser. A nice tingling mint sensation working through the skin. I saw results within the first use and first few days no pimples had arise. I wear heavy eye makeup/ water proof liquid liner which my other expensive cleansers (all philosophy) never completely melted away, now that I know what a real cleanser like Murad Clarifying Cleanser can do. I was able to see my eyeballs with ZERO makeup residue for the first time ever just from one small dollop massaging gently into my skin for 1 minute. I ran out of my sample bottle and immediately ordered the larger bottle from Amazon and next day delivery. Been using Murad Clarifying Cleanser for a little over a month having excellent results and stable results with clear skin and no acne pop ups. My skin feels SUPER clean that I have never felt before. I just want to wash my face all day. Having oily combination skin, I have not experienced my face being dry, even now in cold weather. In addition, my boyfriend is 38 with dry flakey red acne prone skin and he absolutely loves this product and we saw immediate results within the first week for him as well! Murad Clarifying Cleanser works wonders for us having different skin types. Can’t wait to wash my face again! Read more

Wow. What a difference this plus my new routine has given me glowing skin. I think tge salacylic acid in the cleanser (it is time release) plus my moisturizer took away redness & uneven skin. This is amazing! I started getting adult chin acne & i had splotchy skin & redness and some brown spots. 2x a day I started using Murad Clarifying cleanser & The LaRoche Pose Touralaine Double acting moisturier in the after Murad Salacylic Acid Outsmart acne in the AM followed And Baebody eye creme. I use murad outsmart acne in under moisturizer in the am And LaRoche-Pose effaclear in the evening. My skin looks great (i am still getting acne but much smaller). I truely think the Clarifying Cleanser and this Moisturizer are making my skin glow. The product is a bit pricey but everything will last at least 6 mos, maybe a year...so over all it is nit an expensive regimine. I also use tge baebody on non eye wrinkles tgat are starting. It looks like it comes in a jar but it has a pump thingie so you dont contaminate tge cream. All together it was maybe just under $100 but it will last so long and works so well it is affordable.
