First tried while receiving a facial. I don't usually purchase products that are being promoted...but I HAD to have this! I'm in my early 60's and must admit I haven't taken care of my skin like I should have over the years. With oily skin in my youth I am lucky to not have heavy wrinkling. But my skin texture was poor, and sun damaged. This product has changed that. My skin is smoother, dark areas are less noticeable and my pores are diminished. I love Murad products and will continue to use this cleanser for the foreseeable future.

I have been using Murad products for years and love this exfoliating cleanser. I have combination skin and my skin often looks and feels oily. I hate always having a shiny face. I have found that this product helps control the shine and reduce adult acne. I use this product three times a week. I only use it three times a week because it is an exfoliating cleanser and I have sensitive skin and if I exfoliate it too much it feels raw and sore. I love that not only does it clean but skin but it also works to remove dead skin cells, keep pores clean, and promotes healthy looking skin. I saw a huge change in my skin tone and appearance after using this product. My skin is less oily and I do not experience as much adult acne. My skin also looks bright and healthy. I actually have a glow now! I think my skin also looks younger after using this product. Effectiveness This exfoliating cleanser works to remove dead skin cells, keep pores clean, and promotes healthy looking skin. Side Effects I have sensitive skin. I found this product worked best for me when I only used it three times a week.

I absolutely love this product, it is by far the best cleanser I have ever used. A friend of mine introduced me to Murad Exfoliating Cleanser, and my first thought was that it was to expensive for me to buy and use regularly, but after trying it out I was hooked, and willing to pay any price for it. I have very dry skin and it exfoliates and smooths my face so much. It is so gentle and leaves your face feeling so fresh and clean. It clears up acne and blackheads and has even helped erase some of the fine lines on my forehead. All this and you don't even need to use it everyday, just 2-3 times a week and you'll look and feel so great. It is completely orderless also which I also really like. I highly recommend this product it is the only exfoliating cleanser that I ever use anymore. I have also switched over to using other Murad products after achieving such great results with this one.

This product does it job! I use it in a weekly basis to slough off dead skin on the face, After each use, my face is so soft. I use it with the Murad Clarify Cleanser. Ever since I have used this product my skin has completely transformed. My blackheads are disappearing. Whenever I used to get out of the shower, I was rushing to get moisturizer onto my face because of how tight my skin felt because it was so dry. I am so glad to say my skin NEVER feels like that anymore. It feels so smooth. You'll notice it after even your first use. I no longer have problems with dryness - I can wear ANY foundation now without my dry spots being pronounced! I love, love this product! I use it every night. It polishes my skin while treating any break outs! It's worth every penny! And because of my skin I am using it morning and night. I have noticed a change in my skin - the evenness and texture already. This is not a foaming cleanser and doesn't take any "work" to actually exfoliate the skin.

This exfoliating cleanser is fantastic! I had mild acne as a teenager and young adult. I tried everything from ProActive to Dermalogica to Loreal! This cleanser made the difference in my skin. Within the first few times of using it, I started to see results. My acne is now completely gone. I continue to use this exfoliating cleanser every other day and it not only helps prevent breakouts, but it has removed the scarring I had from my acne. Love this product!!

Murad's AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser is a great supplemental cleanser to make your skin look fresher than when you normally cleanse. It also prepares your skin to absorb moisturizer better than a normal cleanser. I have noticed that when I use it my skin always look much brighter and youthful. Recently after using it in the morning someone said, "you're glowing!" I don't know if it really makes me glow but apparently it makes my skin look much healthier, like I have been to the spa. I wish it was a bit grittier because I get eczema during the winter and I really have to use a lot of the product to take off those layers of dead skin. It still doesn't usually scrub off all of the dead skin. I really do like this product, it makes me feel pampered.

My sister got me a starter kit of Murad skin care for Christmas of 2009, I have been hooked ever since! This exfoliating cleanser makes my skin so soft and so even. I hate that you are only supposed to use it every few days because I want to use it every single day. Until I had started using Murad products I was really stingy about how much I would spend on skin care. Now that I have discovered Murad I don't care how much I have to pay because I am addicted to the way it makes my skin glow! This exfoliater makes your face feal clean and smooth. My pores have never been so small in my life! I follow up to the cleanser with a murad spray toner and a murad lotion. I rave to people all the time about the benefits of using Murad. If you get this cleanser I gaurantee it will make you more confident just from the way it makes your skin feel! Forget the cost and get this wonderful product, you will not regret it!!

I have been using this for many years, and I like this cleanser since after using it, it cleans out the oil and leaves the skin feeling fresh. I can feel that my dead skin are removed and my pores appear to be smaller as a result, especially in the nose area where my pores tend to be more showing. It doesn't have a scent which is nice and the little beads that exfoliates is gentle to the skin, not too harsh, so it doesn't irritate my skin. However, I moved to a dryer area recently and since it cleans well, it left my skin tight and too dry. So, I don't use it as it says two to three times a week. I switch to use it every once a week. Also, after I use this product, I've found that I will need to put on sunblock. Otherwise, I get freckles easily from sun exposure. Even though it is pricy, but you only use a little bit at a time and so the cleanser can last a long time. Overall, I would recommends this product, but you will need a stronger moisturizer after using it.

I have been a faithful Murad customer for 5 years.  I love their anti-aging line. One of my favorite cleansers I use (I also use their Refreshing Cleanser) is the AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser.  This cleanser is so fantastic!  It really exfoliates the dry, dull skin off your face.  It is amazing the results you get after just one treatment!  It also isn't drying.  I recently tried another exfoliating cleanser from my dermatologist and it dried out my face so bad.  (Why I tried it - I ran out of my AHA/BHA and I'll never run out again!)  This one does not dry out the face and is for people with sensitive skin issues.  It is such a great exfoliator.  I love that it has Salicylic, Lactic and Glycolic Acids because this is what really helps take off the dulling deposits on my face.  I also love that it doesn't have a smell.  It doesn't smell at all actually, and is so refreshing.  After I am finished, my face feels so smooth and hydrated.  I recommend this product 100%.  I use it 2-3 times a week and it shows!  My face looks refreshed and so much more healthy!  Dr. Murad knows what he is doing.  I am so thankful for his products!  I use many of them!  This is another great one and it is amazing!
