My Go-To Cleanser

"I’ve used this a few times when staying with my Mum and fell in love. I’ve really struggled to find an everyday cleanser for my spot-prone, combination yet very oily skin which is now unfortunately aging too. I’ve tried so many but this actually felt like it completely cleared all the impurities of the day and gently stripped back the excess oil from my face and décolletage. It’s also gentle enough to use in the morning too. I’m never going to waste my money on other cleansers again!"

— Hana M. (5/5)

Best product for dark skin

"This cleanser is a must for having radiant skin. I use to be sensitive to skin care but not with Murad. Dark spots have faded and no makeup needed. I use all the products from the Vitamin C line."

Vitamin C daily cleanswer

It's great!

"The Murad C cleanser is light, refreshing and does the job of removing make-up and is sensitive to eyes."

— Meryl B. (5/5)

Never dries your skin

"Used this for years. Use something more exfoliating a couple of times a week but this my favourite way to start the day…"

— Lorraine C. (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.

Vit C cleanser on Top

"It was really nice one. Having a problematic skin and trying many staff on my face I can say that Murad Vit C cleanser is on top. From the very first try I like it and can see difference. Looks like my skin became brighter and smoother . It was good for dark marks and spots after acne."

— HOVHANNUSH A. (5/5)
