A first in skincare for a more balanced microbiome and clearer skin. This Murad Blemish Clarifying Oil Free Water Gel protects like a second layer of skin. Scientific research shows that bacteria can sense and “talk” to each other to form a group. And as a group, these bacteria can throw off skin\'s balance, triggering the irritation associated with breakouts. Clarifying Oil-Free Water Gel contains innovative technology that interrupts communication so bacteria can\'t form a group and cause an imbalance. The result? Your microbiome stays balanced, and you see clearer, hydrated, and healthier-looking skin!
