Description

Murad Clarifying Cleanser is a gel cleanser designed for acne-prone skin. The brand formulates it with two forms of salicylic acid—a free form that starts treating immediately and an encapsulated form that per the brand continues working even after rinsing. The formula also contains green tea extract, which the brand says helps soothe and calm irritation. Salicylic acid is an exfoliant that works inside pores to help clear blemishes and prevent future breakouts.

Per the brand's 3-day clinical study, 97% of users reported the cleanser dissolves excess oil, 94% said it deeply cleanses skin, 88% said it improves overall appearance, and 85% felt it left pores feeling clean of impurities. The brand positions this product for acne-prone and oily skin with visible shine. The brand describes the formula as free of phthalates, animal-derived ingredients, gluten, parabens, and sulfates. Note that the product contains fragrance and essential oils, so patch test if your skin is reactive or sensitive.
