"Vitamin C face cleaner is very refreshing and maintains healthy skin. Love the product."
"I love this cleanser . It helps me to improve the skin"
"I absolutely love this face wash. I have very sensitive skin and I'm allergic to anything with coconut in it. This is one of the only face washes that I can use that will not give me an allergic reaction and will genuinely keep my skin clear of acne. When I ran out of this face wash I decided to use something different and it completely broke my face out. As soon as I got my Murad Essential C Cleanser back, my face cleared up in 2 days. I wish more cosmetic products didn't have coconut in them (in any form) that way I could try out more products! I always buy the travel size because it fits my budget better but it will last me a few months! It only takes a pea size amount! It leaves my face feeling refreshed and bright!"
"This cleanser is a must for having radiant skin. I use to be sensitive to skin care but not with Murad. Dark spots have faded and no makeup needed. I use all the products from the Vitamin C line."
"I have used this for quite some time. I just love it. I do use the scrub twice a month, but this is a wonderful daily face wash. My dark spots have noticeably lightened. I do use the dark spot cream with the wash. I have had great results."
"The Murad C cleanser is light, refreshing and does the job of removing make-up and is sensitive to eyes."
"Love Murad products!!!"
"I have well-cred for mature skin and this is my go-to daily cleanser - the best!"
"Dark spots? Irritated skin? This stuff is magic. I was struggling for months with large acne patches on my chin and forehead, within a few weeks not only has my acne subsided substantially, but my dark spots and scars are disappearing before my eyes! Every morning I wake up with more confidence. It’s important to apply spf during the day because vitamin c can react to UV rays. I’ve actually recommended it to friends and family, it’s rare I find a product that works well with my skin. 10/10 will be repurchasing."
