Acne Control Clarifying Cleanser

Most acne cleansers wash off before they can do much. Murad Acne Control Clarifying Cleanser pairs two forms of salicylic acid so the treatment keeps working even after you rinse — clearing existing blemishes, cutting excess oil and helping prevent new breakouts, including mask-related ones.

What it actually does

• Treats during and after cleansing. One type of salicylic acid acts immediately; the second continues working over time, even once the gel is rinsed away.
• Targets oil, pores and blemishes. The gel formula helps dissolve excess sebum, purify pores and clear active breakouts.
• Calms instead of stripping. Green tea extract is included to soothe irritation — a deliberate counterweight to the dryness harsh acne products often cause, as Dr. Howard Murad explains in the brand's own notes on the formula.
• Gentle enough for sensitive skin. Murad reports independent clinical testing showing it safe for sensitive skin; in the brand's 3-day study, 94% said it dissolves excess oil and deeply cleanses, and 88% saw improved overall skin appearance. Brand-reported results.
• Cruelty-free and formulated without gluten.

How to use

1. Use morning and evening.
2. Work a small amount over damp face and neck with a gentle massage.
3. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
4. Follow with your treatment step, then moisturiser — and SPF during the day.
5. Keep it out of your eyes.
