How To Use Murad Acne Body Wash 

1. In the shower, massage a small amount over damp skin on areas prone to breakouts (back, chest, shoulders).
2. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
3. Use daily, morning and/or evening; follow with your Murad Step 2 treatment and body moisturizer as needed.

Pro Tip (from estheticians): Let the lather sit on breakout-prone areas for 60–90 seconds before rinsing to give salicylic and glycolic acids extra contact time, then rinse well.
