Murad AHA BHA Exfoliating Cleanser

Advantages: it lasts for months on end, clears up skin QUICKLY!
Disadvantages: price was at first an issue, but only until having seen the benefits.

.... I use the clarifying cleanser morning and evening, with the exfoliating treatment gel afterwards but evenings only as overusing it tends to dry out your skin too much. It is also very important that you use an oil FREE moisturiser after this step both morning and evening. You could use the Murad one, however I find that any oil free moisturiser will do. Then I apply - as needed - the blemish cover gel directly on spots only as it is 4% sulphur and very strong indeed. I would however not recommend this series unless you really do have a very oily skin and have real issues with acne, and not just the occasional spot. It is an expensive range, however it goes on and on like the duracel bunny! You can barely tell that I have been using this for 2 weeks now by looking at the bottles! At this rate this will easily last me two - three... Read review

Advantages: Cleans and refreshes oily skin, reduces spots, lasts ages
Disadvantages: Not readily available in uk

...As readers of many of my past ops will know, I've always suffered from greasy, spotty skin, and having just turned 21 the hope that I'll grow out of it is rapidly diminishing. In light of the fact that actually, my skin, if anything, only seems to be getting worse, I've started spending more and more on skincare products in the hope that price really does reflect quality.

And after much deliberation, chose 3 products which I felt, used together would most benefit my skin. The first product I tried was the Murad Clarifying Cleanser, which cost me £18.50 for 200ml...

Advantages: foam makes your skin feel squeaky clean and super soft
Disadvantages: a little bit expensive maybe (also, not many shops stock it - buy online)

...This is my ultimate cleanser. I'm a relatively capricious beauty product addict, but this cleanser I've been buying repeatedly for the last year. The way the cleanser foams as you pump it out into your hand is nice, and the foam feels great upon contact with the skin (I really recommend foaming cleansers to anyone!). The cleanser really is 'energising' and I've noticed it has visibly brightened my skin since I have been using it. Afterwards, when you dry your face you notice that it does soften your skin - it feels deliciously smooth after using this face wash! Also, the pomegranate makes it smell fresh which is a great quality in a face wash - however, this is achieved through perfume and so if you have extremely sensitive skin it might not be suitable. Also, the packaging looks gorgeous - a great addition to your... Read review
