Murad HYDRATION Lipid-Enriched Double Cleansing Balm 50g is a lipid-enriched cleansing balm that transforms into an oil upon contact with the skin, removing over 99% of long-wear makeup and SPF in a single step. Clinically proven to restore the skin barrier, it leaves skin hydrated, comfortable, and never dry—without the need for a second cleanse.
How the Double Cleansing Balm works
The balm texture melts between the fingers with the warmth of the hands, transforming into a velvety oil that envelops the skin and dissolves impurities, sebum, foundation, and sunscreen. By moistening the hands, the product emulsifies into a milky lather that rinses off easily, leaving no waxy residue or heavy feeling.
The result is clean, balanced skin enveloped in a breathable veil of hydration—from the very first use.
Who is it for?
Suitable for all skin types, including dry, sensitive, and compromised skin barriers. Ophthalmologist-tested, it is gentle even on the eye area (with eyes closed) and does not cause stinging or blurred vision. Perfect for those who use heavy makeup or high-resistance sunscreens.

Active Ingredients
The formula is enriched with lipids and ceramides that mimic the natural composition of the skin's hydrolipidic film. These ingredients work during the cleansing process itself—not just as a subsequent treatment—helping to restore the skin barrier already stressed by aggressive cleansers or environmental factors.
The texture is free of irritating ingredients and clinically tested to improve the skin barrier with regular use.
How to use
Morning and evening, on dry face with dry hands:
- Twist the dispenser to dispense the desired amount (increase based on makeup or SPF level)
- Warm the balm between your hands and massage it onto dry skin to dissolve makeup, sebum, and impurities
- Moisten your hands and continue to massage until you achieve a milky emulsion
- Rinse thoroughly—no second cleanser needed
To complete your routine, pair it with Murad Hydrating Toner as the next step, or replace your daily cleanser by alternating it with Murad AHA-BHA Exfoliating Cleanser 2-3 times a week for an exfoliating action.
