The Murad Acne Regimen

The Murad line of acne products is specially formulated to clear breakouts, improve clogged pores, calm irritation and decrease the production of oil. By following the Murad skin care regimen, anyone can achieve clearer, more beautiful skin in a matter of days.

Step One: Cleansing

The first step in the Murad acne regimen is the Murad Clarifying Cleanser. Cleansers remove makeup, dirt and other impurities from the skin, and prepare the skin for other products. The Murad Clarifying Cleanser removes bacteria from the surface of the skin, and penetrates the pores with acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid and silver citrate.

Step Two: Toning

The Murad Clarifying Toner helps to regulate the skin's oil production and tighten enlarged pores. It includes soothing ingredients like Vitamin E and grape seed extract, and acne fighting ingredients like witch hazel.

Step Three: Treatment Gel

Murad offers two types of treatment gels: the Gentle Acne Treatment Gel and the Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel. The gentle gel is for people with sensitive skin, and it has ingredients that treat blemishes and ingredients that soothe sensitivity and inflammation. The exfoliating gel is for people with oily skin, and features a potent combination of glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and retinol. Both treatment gels penetrate deep into the surface of the skin to reveal unblemished, beautiful skin.

Step Four: Moisturize

People with acne should always moisturize, even if it seems antithetical. Murad makes moisturizers especially for acne prone skin, so they won't clog pores or lead to more breakouts. In the morning use the Murad Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15, which minimizes oil production, moisturizes and protects the skin from sun damage. In the evening use the Murad Acne Skin Perfecting Lotion, which minimizes irritation and promotes cell turnover.

Additional Products:

There are other Murad acne products, like the Acne Spot Treatment, which helps banish active breakouts, and the Acne Body Wash, which treats blemishes on the back and chest.

By following the Murad acne regimen and supplementing it with additional Murad products, teenagers and adults suffering from acne can get rid of breakouts and enjoy clear skin.
