Our verdict

A small, citrus-scented foaming gel cleanser built around vitamin C and antioxidants, sized for dry skin specifically rather than all skin types.

Overview

Murad sells the 15260MU as a 2 fluid ounce foaming gel cleanser from its Essential-C line, scented with citrus and built around vitamin C, antioxidants and panthenol for dry skin specifically.

The pitch here is vitamin C doing double duty as an antioxidant that also brightens, layered into a foaming gel base rather than a cream or oil cleanser. Foaming gels tend to cleanse more thoroughly than cream washes, worth weighing against the dry skin labeling since foaming formulas can feel stripping on already dry skin for some users.

  • 2 fl oz bottle
  • Vitamin C and antioxidants
  • Citrus scent
  • Cruelty free, gluten free

Who it's for

Suits buyers with dry skin who want a vitamin C foaming cleanser and a citrus scent, and who are already using or trying Murad's Essential-C line. Not the pick for anyone avoiding foaming cleansers on dry or sensitive skin.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Vitamin C and antioxidant formula
  • Cruelty free and gluten free
  • Compact 2 ounce size for travel
Cons
  • Foaming gels can feel drying on dry skin
  • Small 2 ounce size
  • Citrus scent, not fragrance-free

Performance notes

Vitamin C and the listed antioxidants work as a wash-off treatment here rather than a leave-on serum, meaning contact time is short, but the panthenol is included to help offset any stripping from the foaming gel base on dry skin.
