AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser

Size

AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser is an intensive triple-action cleansing exfoliator that removes dull and dry skin, while hydrating. It delivers this through chemical and physical exfoliation for a fresher appearance—and to improve penetration of treatment ingredients that follow. Result? Fresher, plumper and hydrated skin.

 

This unmatched formula has been enriched with an acid blend (salicylic, lactic, glycolic) to encourage cell turnover and reveal smoother, softer skin. The Jojoba beads help manually exfoliate and remove dry and dull skin. Sodium and liquorice extract help retain moisture and soothe.

This fan-favourite exfoliating cleanser can be used on both the face and body to achieve smoother, softer, and more even-looking skin. Use 2–3 times a week as part of your regular cleansing routine for best results.

The Benefits of a Hydrating Cleanse Plus Physical and Chemical Exfoliation in One

Details

This multi-tasking, cleansing exfoliant is an ideal addition to your cleansing regimen 2-3 times a week. Chemical and physical exfoliation helps clear dull, dry skin from the surface for a fresher appearance and to improve penetration of treatment ingredients that follow. Exfoliating also helps open hydration pathways, as sodium PCA optimises skin’s ability to attract and hold moisture.

Reviews

I have been using this

"I have been using this cleanser for a good few years now. I use it a couple of times a week alongside the Renewing Cleansing Cream. I really like how it makes my skin feel soft and smooth, and how it makes my skin look brighter. I think it is one of them that I will always buy as it is such a good product."

Transformed my Skin 😍😍

"Murad's AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser completely transformed my skin after just a few uses. I had been struggling with dullness and uneven texture but this product made a noticeable difference almost immediately. The combination of salicylic acid lactic acid and glycolic acid gently removed dead skin cells without irritating my sensitive skin. I love that it also contains jojoba beads which give a light physical exfoliation for an extra smooth finish. After using it consistently my pores appear smaller and my skin looks so much brighter and clearer. It also helped control my breakouts which had been a persistent issue for me. Overall this cleanser feels like a spa treatment in a bottle and has earned a permanent spot in my skincare routine."

Works great

"I’ve been using the Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser for a few weeks now, and it’s honestly one of the best exfoliating cleansers I’ve tried. I love how it combines both chemical and physical exfoliants—it leaves my skin feeling super smooth without being too harsh or drying. After using it 2–3 times a week, I’ve noticed a visible improvement in my skin texture and brightness. My pores look more refined, and I’ve had fewer breakouts, especially around my chin and forehead. What I enjoy most is that my skin feels clean and refreshed after each use, but never stripped or tight—just healthy and glowing."

An amazing cleanser

"I have combination skin which is oilier in summer. This cleanser is ideal for my skin. It offers a deep enough cleanse without stripping the skin. My face feels so clean and my pores also feel thoroughly cleansed."

"A perfectly weekly exfoliation! I use this once a week and it has greatly improved the texture of my skin. It is not too harsh, and is perfect for people new to exfoliating. I love this! And I will definitely be repurchasing"
