How To Use Murad Clarifying Water Gel

1. Cleanse skin thoroughly, then pat dry.
2. In the morning and/or evening, massage a small amount of Clarifying Water Gel evenly over face, neck and chest.
3. Follow with your daily treatment serum and sunscreen during the day; if layering, apply under makeup or SPF.
