Love this wash!
-04.09.13
This face wash cleanses effectively, leaving me super clean, but without stripping and feeling parched. A little goes a long way, foams wonderfully and I feel my pores are less noticeable, skin is brighter and a few of my larger spots seem less noticeable. Will purchase again!

Cleans well, but way too pricey
-02.24.13
I've been using this cleanser for a couple of months now. It does its job of cleansing the skin very well, and it's not too drying. A little goes a long way, which is nice, especially because of the price.
Speaking of price, I just don't think the cleanser is worth it. I haven't noticed anything special about it. It feels like the Aveno cleanser I tried, but it costs three times as much. I don't notice any fading of sun spots and my skin doesn't look any more "brilliant." I've been using this in conjunction with the serum from the same line -- nothing has improved.
I'll be sticking with Lush's Coal Face & Fresh's Soy face cleanser.

AMAZING

Quick Take: milky
I have been a loyal Murad consumer for years- I've used their acne line when I was younger, their pomegranate line in college and now I am in love with the white brilliance line. The price for how great the product is and how much you actually get in this bottle, cant be beat. I use this with my clarisonic and it is so refreshing! I've been using it for a few weeks now and havent broke out once! I've also noticed my skin is significantly brighter. I use this with Ole Henrikson Vitamins Plus moisturizer and it works so nicely together.
I definitely recommend this cleanser to someone with few breakouts, dry skin and/or oily t-zone. The smell is light and unintentionally kind of smells like ice cream :)

As noted in the product description, this does leave my skin feeling very soft and smooth. I have noticed an improvement in luminosity.

I ordered this cleanser as a previous review said its very hydrating and they used it with their Clarisonic. That is exactly what I was intending to use it for. I tried ordering and it was out of stock. Then got an email when it was available again and when i got around to ordering it was again out of stock. I finally was able to order and have used it a couple times. I noticed this is again out of stock. For a $30 cleanser, I'm not thrilled with it. I dont see what makes this a $30 cleanser. I actually prefer my Clarisonic cleanser to this one because it has a pleasant smell. This cleanser doesnt really have a scent. I will continue to use what I have but I probably won't be ordering again.

A Must Have for Dark Spot Removal
-12.20.12
Quick Take: foamy, milky, exfoliating, hydrating
I am a believer in Murad products, having used the Acne line to clear my skin, the orange line even my complexion, and now the White Brilliance line to further even my skin tone and brighten my skin. I have oily skin--very oily skin-- so naturally I was hesitant to use this product but it is awesome in controling the oil in my skin while still leaving it very hydrated! I use it with my clairsonic and it builds a nice creamy lather that doesnt feel like my skin will be rough and dry after. Even boyfriend (who notices nothing) noticed how much smoother my skin is. its a must have, however I do suggest still using a regular cleanser before this product to get the best results. its not very good at removing makeup. I use OleHenrikson On the Go Cleanser which to me is another must have for a bright tight and even complexion. Cheers!

Quick Take: foamy, milky
I nver write reviews but I am soo in love with this i just had too... i am more dry wtih oily tzone..i ordered this online after looking for something without parabens and that foamed up because i like that as facewash to feel like i washed my face.. ... i had gotten samples for lancome and it worked but my face felt tight afterwards. I tried shiedo but it wasnt great Ive been using caudalie for 2 years and wanted something stronger to remove my make up.. too bad they dont sell this at the stores.. this facewash is hollygrail... its hydrating and left my face feeling clean yet not tight and its packed with vitamin C which is great for my face and I love that it is supposed to help with dark sun spots that I have gained thruout years.... love this I hope they do not stop making this

This is by far Murad's best product and I really wish they would start selling this in Sephora Stores all over. I had to order it online. A pea sized goes along way and your face is hydrated and soft ALL day. I didn't not need any moisturizer after washing my face. Used it with the clarisonic Mia (which use to dry my face a little) but worked wonderfully. I would highly recommend this to everyone. Brightens and hydrates your face better than any other product I've ever used (and I've used everything from Peter Thomas Roth. Korres, Clarins, and Sheseido).
