Murad Essential C Cleanser
I absolutely love this facial cleanser. I first got to try this at a well known spa. Immediately I saw a difference in the way my skin looked and felt. I have received many compliments on my skin. I am very happy that Nordstrom is now carrying this brand.

Skin reaction
Seems to be an ok cleanser but it caused my skin to break out in a red rash. I stopped using it and tried again several months later and same thing happened. Have ended up throwing it away as I didn't want to risk giving it to someone within my household for the same to happen to them

Where's the Orange Fragrance?
I bought this cleanser again for the first time in quite awhile. However, it seems that it has been reformulated. It doesn't have the "beads" any longer (which is fine with me) and it doesn't have that wonderful orange scent as before. The fragrance was not too strong, in my opinion. I'm not sensitive to scents. It was a natural fragrance, not artificial. This is an effective facial cleanser and does not sting the eyes. But I'm disappointed in the lack of the great fragrance.

Great for Skin in all Seasons
This bottle lasts a long time. A little goes a long way. I have the type of skin that cant quite figure out if it wants to be oily, dry, or sensitive/prone to breakouts and this works for all types

A bit disappointing
This is a gel with tiny beads that have an exfoliating effect. I found it very dehydrating. Perhaps if you have very oily skin it would work out
