Murad AHA-BHA Exfoliating Cleanser 148ml

Murad AHA-BHA Exfoliating Cleanser is a dual-action facial exfoliating cleanser that combines AHA and BHA acids to deeply purify, remove dead skin cells, and refine skin texture in one step. Ideal for those who want effective cleansing without sacrificing daily exfoliation.

Who is it for?

Perfect for combination, oily, or acne-prone skin, with enlarged pores or a dull complexion. Also suitable for those looking for a multi-functional cleanser that simplifies their morning routine without sacrificing effectiveness. Not recommended for very sensitive skin or skin reactive to acids.

Key Benefits

Dual Exfoliation AHA + BHA

Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) act on the surface, smoothing and brightening, while beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) penetrate the pores to dissolve excess sebum and prevent blackheads.

Deep Cleansing without Drying

Despite its exfoliating action, the formula keeps the hydrolipidic film intact, leaving skin clean but not tight or irritated.

Visibly Reduced Pores

With regular use, pores appear finer and skin texture is more even and compact.

Immediately Brighter Complexion

After just a few applications, the complexion appears fresher and more even thanks to the renewing action of AHAs.

Simplified Routine

Cleanser and exfoliant in one product: fewer steps, same effectiveness. Ideal for those with little time but who don't want to forgo a complete skincare routine.

Active Ingredients

The formula combines glycolic acid (AHA) for superficial exfoliation and cell renewal stimulation, salicylic acid (BHA) for deep pore cleansing, and soothing botanical extracts to balance the action of the acids without irritation. The result is effective exfoliation that respects the skin barrier.

How to Use

Apply morning and/or evening to damp face, massage in circular motions for 30-60 seconds, and rinse thoroughly. For more intense exfoliation, use once a day; for more delicate skin, start with 2-3 applications per week. Always follow with a moisturizer and, during the day, with sunscreen.

Recommended Pairings

For a complete routine, pair this cleanser with Murad Perfecting Day Cream SPF30 to protect the skin after exfoliation. If you're looking for a gentler alternative cleanser for the evening, the Renewing Cleansing Cream is the ideal choice to alternate with. To complete your anti-aging routine, the Revitalixir Recovery Serum works synergistically after evening cleansing. For deep hydration, pair with Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture as the final step in your routine.

FAQ

Can I use the AHA-BHA Exfoliating Cleanser every day?

Yes, for combination and oily skin, it is formulated for daily use. If you have more sensitive skin, start with 2-3 times a week and gradually increase based on tolerance.

Do I need to use sunscreen afterwards?

Absolutely. AHAs increase skin photosensitivity, so it is essential to apply an SPF cream every morning after use.

Is it suitable for acne-prone skin?

Yes, salicylic acid (BHA) is particularly effective on acne-prone skin because it penetrates the pores and dissolves the sebum that causes comedones.

Can I combine it with other exfoliants?

It's best to avoid layering multiple exfoliants in the same routine. Use this cleanser as your sole exfoliating step and pair it with hydrating and soothing products.
