How To Use Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser

1. To use 2–3x a week: Massage a small amount over damp face and neck.
2. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
3. Follow with your preferred treatment serum and moisturizer; apply broad-spectrum SPF during the day.

Pro Tip (from estheticians): On exfoliation days, use gentle pressure—let the formula do the work. If also using leave-on acids or retinoids, alternate days to minimize sensitivity.
