Just ok
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I had the opportunity to try out Murad's Biome-Balancing Clear & Prevent Acne Treatment Serum. I honestly wasn't too impressed with this product. I experience acne from time to time, mostly hormonal acne. I typically don't have much luck w...

Great and fast acting
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is the second Murad product I've owned, and once again, I am greatly impressed. If you are someone who deals with breakouts, you need to give this a try. Within a couple of days of use, my breakouts started to dissipate, and with continued use, it has kept them at bay. It will also help keep your skin healthier and looking good. The price is fair, as it does what it is intended to do, and a little goes a long way. The pump is easy to use to apply the product to your skin, making the process effortless. The product does contain salicylic and mandelic acid, so, like any other product you are putting on your body, do a patch test. I feel more confident with this product and will continue to use it to tackle any breakouts that occur!

Acne serum that actually works
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The results with the murad biome- balancing clear and prevent acne treatment serum was great. It didn't take long to clear up my terrible acne spots. The serum has a great texture and rubs into my skin effortlessly. This serum is a must-have, honestly.

Amazing
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love this muras biome-balancing clear acne treatment serum. Its easy to use, goes on smooth and feels so hydrating. I can already tell the difference in the short time I've been using it. Such a great acne serum.
I recommend
Received this product from influencer for review Almost no scent which is nice, texture is soft, packaging is great. Ingredients are nice too, effective for acne. I would recommend for acne prone skin


Love it
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This serum is AMAZING! I have tired many acne serums that this one beats the cake. It is scentless so no over powering of scents. I have had little to no breakouts since starting this product. Leaves my skin feeling nice and not greasy like some serums can. It's not drying which I was very surprised because it has salicylic acid in it. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to help contort there acne.
