Murad Clarifying Cleanser

Received a deluxe sample of Murad's Clarifying Cleanser from Sephora, and I just love it!

Murad Clarifying Cleanser

"This cleansing gel effectively keeps skin clean and clear. Use it daily to help eliminate blemishes, prevent new breakouts, and maximize penetration of powerful acne treatment ingredients. In less than one minute, it reduces 99.9 percent of irritating surface bacteria." 

To date, this is definitely the best cleanser I've ever used!  It lathers up really nicely with just a small amount, and leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, & deeply clean.  It has a refreshing scent of tea tree.  It tightens pores and controls oil throughout the day, so I don't even need to use a toner anymore!

This dermatologist-developed cleanser contains encapsulated salicylic acid and continually releases acne treatment for hours after use.  While I haven't noticed a difference in my breakouts as mine are mostly hormonal, this cleanser really does help get rid of them quickly once they appear. 

At $26, its a little more expensive than drugstore cleansers but still reasonable.  I've been using it twice a day for almost three months, and it's not even halfway gone.  You really only need to use a small, dime-sized amount so it lasts a really long time!

Overall: 5/5 

Totally love this cleanser and I'm going to continue using it for a long time!  I would say that this probably isn't a good product for people with dry skin, as it is very drying.  For people like me who suffer from oily skin, it's the perfect balance!
