Overview
Murad sells this Essential-C cleanser as a clear foaming gel built around vitamin C. It is meant to wash away pollution and impurities while leaving a brighter complexion, and it carries an orange scent.
A single cleanser that covers combination, dry, normal and oily skin simplifies a routine, and the antioxidant angle adds a brightening goal. The limitation is a fragrance some skin types dislike, and no stated concentration of vitamin C.
Who it's for
A morning or evening wash that adds an antioxidant step is what the listing describes. Fragrance sensitive shoppers, and those who want a cream cleanser, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Vitamin C included
- Foaming gel format
- Suits four skin types
- Orange scent added
- Vitamin C strength not listed
- Rinse-off, so short contact time
Performance notes
A foaming gel lifts oil, pollution and surface dirt, then rinses away. Because a cleanser stays on the skin only briefly, its vitamin C has limited time to act, so the main result is a clean surface.
