How does this Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser compare to the AGE REFORM Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser? What is the difference?

I purchased the Age Reform by mistake, and it is also slightly granular. I haven't used the regular AHA/BHA cleanser, so I can't really say, but I'm guessing it is something that differs in the ingredients. Age reform probably has different properties to combat signs of aging, whereas the other formula doesn't. I've been using the AR cleanser for close to a year now, and I can say that I really like it. I bought it in hopes that the AHA/BHA would get rid of my milia, and with regular use, it doesn't rid my face of them, but does reduce the appearance. It also brightens my skin noticeably.

I agree with Barb: Best to contact Murad directly. When Jrsmith calls AHA/BHA granular, be assured that the granules are ultra fine and gentle, more than any other brand I've used. They also work wonderfully, tightening the pores, reducing bumps/growths due to age, and leaving the skin glowing. If your skin is sensitive, start with 2x a week and do more only if your skin can tolerate it. I personally do 3-4x a week, but I always immediately moisturize right after while the skin is damp and the moisturizer can penetrate to maximum advantage--my dermatologist gave me that advice. Also, there is not scent to aggravate sensitive skin. I agree with Barb: Best to contact Murad directly.

Hi Jill, I've never used the Age Reform (AR) cleanser, but from what I can tell the difference is the Exfoliating Cleanser (EC) is slightly granular and, my assumption, is that the AR is not. I love the EC and have been using it for years, but if you have dry skin it might be good to use both. In fact, I may try both. I hope this helps.

I use another exfoliant made by Olay. I believe it's the Olay Fresh Effects Exfoliating Cleanser. Works great!

I've used both; and they both perform as advertised for me. I recommend using the Un-wrinkle pads after using a good facial cleanser. The pads appear to give the face a refreshing appearance, seems to tighten the skin somewhat, and also picks up where the facial cleaner may miss. I rinse off the solution after about 5-7 minutes to ensure there will not be any irritation however, I've never had a problem; excellent product that I use about 2-3 times per week. My skin is normal to dry. Oily skin would probably be 3-4 times per week, as needed. With that said, I know that working from the inside out is the ideal (i.e., about 4-6 glasses of spring water a day).

What I do know about BHA is that it is more for skin breakouts. I use the 60 plus "gel" since other products that do not say "gel" seem to be harsher. I like the Skin Laboratory products the best as they do work on some breakouts Yes even at age 68 I seem to get them once in a while! They go away overnight.

My husband bought this for me. It's great and my skin has cleared up a lot now that I'm not using brushes with bacteria. I don't think there is a difference and I have zero complaints. :)

I don't know about murad but I have been using this product for about 7 months now and my skin is now spotless and smooth from being patchy and rough in the past.

You should be able to go on their(Murad) website & find out. The ingredients are listed on the box which I threw out. Their is some type of gycolic or something similiar. I really like their products but your age and skin type make a difference on which ones you should use. This is for older skin.

There is a slight difference in moisturizers, the Age Defying has just a few more ingredients that makes it a little better for your skin... Hope this was helpful..

It is not the same. I believe it is better. It is more flexible, less expensive, and uses natural jade (as compared to amethyst). Also, I have more confidence in the company behind it. The other product makes statements on its website which are either incorrect or misleading.The therasage pad is extremely healthy, both in terms of being proactive for your health and in addressing a variety of chronic health issues.

It's made of some kind of space-age material that's like a fibrous mat; it gets the skin completely clean without the use of oils, soaps, or alcohol-based cleaners, which is my primary reason for using it. No, it doesn't exfoliate.

I am not sure. I have not used the other but I really like this soap. Myself and my daughters use it every day. One daughter's face likes to breakout but hasn't been bad since we started using it. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

I'm not totally sure what the difference is. My facial gal recommended the ageless total anti-aging serum and I have used that for the year and a half I've been going to her. I am 66 and my skin is firmer and tighter since I've used this. I am trying the Vital C hydrating one right now just to see if there is a difference and at this point I don't see one. Sorry I couldn't be more specific as to the differences. I love the Image Skincare products. My skin has vastly improved since I started using them.

I have been using this product for years. I am not sure I understand your question. I put the cleanser on a warm washcloth and wash my face.

Not sure the difference, but I have been using the pure absorbic acid in my diy face creams, and have been very satisfied with this product. Will purchase again.

The Healthy Now is the one I used and it's worked well for me - it's very high quality and has higher HCA level (65%) as opposed to the other one (60%)

Is there any difference between the energizing and revitalizing face scrubs? They both seem to indicate that they do the same thing and I assume that both products are basically similar. They may even be the same thing with different names.

No, it is not a cleanser. You should cleanse your face first, then use the scrub. It is the best scrub!
