Murad’s New Cleansing Balm Lets You Skip the Double Cleanse

Double cleansing has become a trusted part of modern skincare routines, especially for those who SPF daily or love a full makeup look. It’s a ritual that ensures skin feels thoroughly cleansed at the end of the day—first cleanse to remove build up, second cleanse to finish, then rinse.

But is cleansing better when it’s simple, or when it’s thorough? With Murad, you don't need to choose.

The new Lipid-Enriched Double Cleansing Balm offers a more modern alternative by rethinking the entire sequence in just one step. With a texture that melts, transforms, and rinses clean, it removes SPF and makeup while helping skin feel nourished and not depleted. It’s your usual cleanse, streamlined like never before.

The balm-to-oil texture of Murad's newest Lipid-Enriched Double Cleansing Balm is where the magic happens.

On dry skin, it melts down all the daily buildup, from SPF and makeup to oil and external pollutants. With water, it emulsifies into a light milk that rinses away cleanly, without leaving residue, cloudy film, and lingering heaviness. There is also no need to worry about that tight, stripped feeling that many other cleansers leave — just skin that feels confidently balanced.

In fact, clinical testing shows it removes over 99% of SPF, long-wear makeup, and waterproof mascara in just one step, with 96% of users agreeing their skin felt thoroughly cleansed and refreshed without needing a second cleanse

Real results back it up: 100% showed smoother, more radiant skin, and after just one week, 90% reported skin that felt plumper and more hydrated. Since over-cleansing can compromise the skin barrier, a one-step wonder like this feels like a genuine game-changer.

Another thing that makes this formula different is not just what it removes, but what it leaves behind.

At the heart of the cleansing balm is fermented camellia oil, which breaks down makeup and SPF while helping deliver antioxidant protection and nourishment to the skin. It also contains glycolipids, which are derived from natural sugars and lipids, and act as ultra-gentle biosurfactants, lifting impurities without disrupting the skin barrier.

Then there are the barrier-building lipids, designed to replenish ceramides and reinforce the skin's natural protective layer. With continued use, the formula is clinically proven to improve and strengthen the skin barrier, helping your skin feel and look more resilient over time.

It's also ophthalmologist-tested and safe for the eyes, working comfortably even over closed eyes and leaving your most stubborn mascara no choice but to melt away.

Even beyond simplifying a double cleanse into one step, every detail is considered. The twist-up grinder packaging keeps things mess-free and travel-friendly. The mechanism is thoughtfully controlled, as it allows you to adjust the twist depending on your needs.

One twist for SPF-only days, two for light makeup, and a little more for heavier coverage. It dispenses only what you need, when you need it, helping reduce waste and avoid overuse in the process.

In a world of multi-step everything, Murad makes a compelling case for less, but better. One step that cleanses well, supports the skin barrier, and fits seamlessly into real life might just be what your vanity needs today.
