Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser — Glycolic + Salicylic 2 fl oz, gentle resurfacing & hydration

Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser is a daily face wash that uses glycolic, lactic and salicylic acids plus jojoba beads to lift dull surface cells and refine skin texture without over-drying.

Engineered for visible resurfacing in a rinse-off formula, this 2 fl oz Murad cleanser combines chemical exfoliants (AHA/BHA) with gentle physical polishers and hydration-support ingredients so skin feels smoother and looks more even after use. The formula also includes sodium PCA for moisture balance and licorice extract to help soothe and comfort skin during exfoliation. It’s presented as a concentrated tube ideal for travel or trialing stronger resurfacing treatments in your routine.

How does this cleanser exfoliate without causing excess irritation?

The product blends alpha-hydroxy acids (glycolic and lactic) with a beta-hydroxy acid (salicylic) to loosen bonds between dead cells while jojoba beads provide a mild physical polish. Hydrators and calming botanicals are included to counteract stripping and support skin comfort during the resurfacing process.

• Glycolic and lactic acids help dissolve surface dead skin.
• Salicylic acid penetrates pores to assist with oil and debris removal.
• Jojoba beads offer a gentle mechanical polish without harsh abrasives.
• Sodium PCA and licorice extract help maintain hydration and reduce potential redness.

When and how should I use the Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser?

Use as part of your cleansing step, either once daily or a few times a week depending on tolerance and skin type. Massage into damp skin, focus on areas with texture or congestion, then rinse thoroughly; follow with sunscreen if used in the morning.

• Apply to damp face, avoiding the eye area.
• Massage briefly—this is a polishing cleanser, not a leave-on peel.
• Rinse completely and layer with moisturizer or treatment products.
• Use sunscreen during the day after exfoliation to protect newly revealed skin.

What skin types benefit from this formula and what results can I expect?

Formulated for balanced, oily, combination and even dry skin, the cleanser targets dullness, rough texture and enlarged-looking pores. Results vary, but many users notice smoother texture and improved absorption of serums and moisturizers after regular use.

• Helps reduce the appearance of rough texture and surface dullness.
• Improves skin readiness for follow-up treatments and serums.
• Suitable for those with texture concerns, mild congestion or uneven tone.
• Not intended as a spot treatment for active dermatologic conditions—consult a professional for concerns.

Who is this for: Ideal for anyone seeking a rinse-off solution to gently resurface and refine skin texture—especially users who want chemical exfoliation in a controlled, travel-ready format. It works well for people with combination-to-oily skin, those wanting to layer professional-strength actives carefully, and anyone looking to boost the effectiveness of their serums and moisturizers without switching to a leave-on acid treatment.
