Reviews

Vitamin C daily cleanswer

"I have well-cred for mature skin and this is my go-to daily cleanser - the best!"

— Teri V. (5/5)

Magic in a bottle

"Dark spots? Irritated skin? This stuff is magic. I was struggling for months with large acne patches on my chin and forehead, within a few weeks not only has my acne subsided substantially, but my dark spots and scars are disappearing before my eyes! Every morning I wake up with more confidence. It’s important to apply spf during the day because vitamin c can react to UV rays. I’ve actually recommended it to friends and family, it’s rare I find a product that works well with my skin. 10/10 will be repurchasing."

— Jessica (5/5)

Perfect cleanser

"I love this cleanser. It removes all makeup, etc from my face. I do not find it to be too drying and, at 80, I am extremely careful with what I use. I love Murad and trust their products."

— Judy R. (5/5)

Absolutely the best thing ever made

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m absolutely in love with the Murad Essential-C Cleanser. It’s a clear gel that lathers into soft, light bubbles and feels so refreshing on the skin. The citrus scent is fresh, bright, and energizing without being overpowering. Every wash feels clean but never drying. After using it consistently, my skin looks brighter, smoother, and has a healthy glow. It leaves my face soft, refreshed, and truly radiant—this has become a staple in my routine.
