Murad Acne Control Clarifying Cleanser - Salicylic Acid

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 2013CC4F1 would have been produced June of 2014CC5J2 would have been produced September 2015We 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=DecemberAny 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.

I've been using this for years. Got tired of driving around to different stores to see if it was in stock and having to buy the small bottles. I'll continue buying from here.

Use this to double cleanse start with a foaming cleanser and use the Murad second. It has help with breakouts and foams up nice. Feels minty on the skin due to the tea tree leaf oil in it if that’s something you don’t like feeling.

Love this stuff! When I started using this product years ago, I never looked back. I used to have troubled skin. Uneven skin tone, bad texture and acne. I used other products before I found Murad. Acne products can work very differently from person to person, but Murad worked for me. I use the clarifying cleanser and toner. I love that these products last for months, which is another bonus. A little goes a long way. It's been my tried and true for all this time and I don't foresee that changing!

I have been using Murad for a long time and I am never disappointed. It is gentle on my very sensitive skin and doesn’t have a medicinal scent to it.

Like the product, do not like the shrinkflation

Works great for my teenager with acne. Helps to keep the skin calm and get rid of pimples.

This has worked on my skin. I’ve been using Proactive and it’s started not to work. This product is amazing.

I have redone my whole face care routine with having to wear a mask 8.5 hours a day in a very physical job. I chose Murad Clarifying Cleanser as to use on a daily basis. I have extremely sensitive skin and can't use a lot of skin care products. This cleanser works wonderfuly and is a great addition to my skin care routine. It doesn't dry my skin out and even better doesn't cause me any breakouts because of harsh chemicals.

This Is the best and only Product anyone with acne,should use if they want REAL results!!!

Best product and company

My face feel very fresh after using Murad acne clarifying Cleanser !

Love it
