Overview
The larger, 5 fluid ounce version of Murad's Essential-C Facial Cleanser (model 9300000224453670) trades the citrus foaming gel for an orange-scented gel suited to combination, dry, normal and oily skin alike.
At 5 ounces this is a bigger bottle than Murad's 2 ounce Essential-C variant, and it's labeled for a broader skin type range, pointing to it being the everyday, full-size version of the cleanser rather than a travel size aimed at one skin type. The orange scent and gel texture set it apart from the citrus foaming version.
- 5 fl oz bottle
- Suits combination, dry, normal and oily skin
- Orange scent
- Vitamin C, antioxidant and brightening
Who it's for
Suits buyers across combination, dry, normal or oily skin who want a full-size vitamin C gel cleanser with a citrus-orange scent. Not the pick for anyone wanting the smaller travel size or a fragrance-free wash.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Suited to combination, dry, normal and oily skin
- Larger 5 ounce size than the travel variant
- Vitamin C formula with brightening and antioxidant claims
- Orange scent, not fragrance-free
- Gel wash still has short skin contact time
- No SPF, needs a separate daytime sunscreen
Performance notes
As a gel cleanser, vitamin C and the antioxidant complex here work during the brief wash-off contact time, with the brightening claim tied to that same vitamin C content rather than a separate whitening ingredient.
