Murad Skincare Routines: Find What Works for Your Skin

Murad skincare routines are designed to target specific skin concerns, from breakouts and dehydration to pigmentation and visible ageing. By choosing the right combination of cleansers, serums, treatments and SPF, you can build a routine that supports your skin type and delivers visible results. Understanding when and how to use each product helps maximise benefits while keeping skin balanced and healthy.

Step 1: Cleanse (Morning & Evening)

Murad Clarifying Cleanser

A foaming gel cleanser designed to deeply cleanse pores while helping to prevent breakouts and excess oil.

Murad Hydration AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser

A dual-action cleanser that combines gentle chemical exfoliation with hydration to smooth and refresh the skin.

  • Best for: Dull, congested or dehydrated skin

  • Why use it: Removes dead skin cells while cleansing to improve texture and radiance

  • When to use: 1–3 times weekly instead of your regular cleanser

Would you use Murad Clarifying Cleanser and the AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser together?

No – these two cleansers should be alternated, not layered in one routine. Both are effective cleansers, but they serve different purposes, and using them back-to-back would be unnecessary and potentially over-exfoliating. Use the Murad Clarifying Cleanser daily and alternate with the AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser 1–3 times a week instead.

Step 2: Treat & Target (Murad Retinols, Eye Creams, and Serums)

Murad Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum

Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Serum

A fast-absorbing retinol serum that targets fine lines, texture and loss of firmness.

  • Best for: Ageing skin, fine lines and uneven texture

Murad Retinal ReSculpt Overnight Treatment

An advanced night treatment powered by retinal to visibly firm, smooth and resurface the skin overnight.

  • Best for: Advanced signs of ageing and loss of elasticity

  • Why use it: Provides more intensive results than traditional retinol

TL;DR: Murad Skincare Routine 

An effective Murad skincare routine follows a clear order of cleansing, exfoliating, treating, moisturising and protecting the skin with SPF. Daily and exfoliating cleansers are alternated to maintain clear pores without over-exfoliation, while targeted treatments address concerns such as breakouts, pigmentation and visible signs of ageing. Active ingredients including retinol, retinal and vitamin C are used at the correct time of day and frequency to maximise results while protecting the skin barrier.
