Silky, Non-Drying Cream Cleanser That Smooths & Hydrates

Murad Renewing Cleansing Cream 5 fl oz is a rich, cushiony face wash that transforms into a comforting lather to lift away oil, sunscreen, and impurities while keeping skin comfortable. A gentle dose of lactic acid teams with a rejuvenating peptide and vitamin E to refine texture and reveal a fresher look. Apricot and starflower oils replenish moisture so skin feels supple after rinsing—never tight. Panthenol and hyaluronic acid attract water to help minimize dryness and prep skin for treatments that follow.

Designed by the dermatologist-founded brand for the Resurgence collection, this cleanser is ideal for balanced, combination, and dry skin types seeking a soft, smooth cleanse. The formula’s blend of oils and essential fatty acids supports the moisture barrier, while the mild exfoliation from lactic acid helps maintain a youthful glow. Use morning and night as the first step in your routine to ensure serums and moisturizers absorb effectively. Free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, gluten, and animal-derived ingredients.
