Pros:I must say I thought this product was not going to work. I was ridiculously wrong! Haha ! This stuff is awesome , before i bought it i had severe acne and just a bit of acne scars from picking. Its been two days i've been using it , healing beatiful.
Cons:None, yes i know there may be a purging period. But my face has never looked better and its only been two days!!! Dont get me wrong! I still have alot of healing to do but ive already received comments how less red my acne looks !
Bottom Line:Well ive used everything proactive, over the counter, expensive dermatologist visits! This has worked for me and ive used it for literally two days and my face looks better than ever!
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Alex has used this item for a day or two.

Pros:It pretty much cleared up everything, except for maybe about 3-4 tiny zits. But thats amazing for me.
My forehead, looks like a baby's forehead now its so clear.
Made girls more attracted to me, and I didnt feel like they were staring at my acn
Cons:Purging process is a mother ****. Made me break out like crazy.
Burning feeling in the first two weeks.
Dried my face terribly, but it could of been from the cold/winter. And there is no way it takes 4 weeks to work, its longer, but WORTH IT!
Bottom Line:It has cleared up my acne SO MUCH! I used to get big red pimples on my forehead, sides of my face, and all over chin and lower jaw. It takes longer then 4 weeks, but you gotta try it.
Ive tried everything, Proactiv, Clearsil, Clean and Clear, Neutrogena, Prescribtions from doctors and dermatoligists, and Murad, is the thing that worked.
Im telling you, dont listen to the other people, they must of not used it right, this works.

Pros:Some smoothing/softness of skin in places with no acne, some slight improvement.
Cons:Tedious application, not good for moderate or severe acne with nodules and cysts.
Bottom Line:Here's my two cents: I am a 26 year old female that has been dealing with acne since the age of 13. Some years have been clear, others not so much. Recently, the discontinuation of birth control made my face EXPLODE with nodules, cysts, and whiteheads.

I was on the Murad Acne Complex Kit for 3 solid months, and used it religiously. Didn't miss a morning or night ever.

It did nothing for my cysts or nodules. Kept clear areas clear, but I was still breaking out. After spending hundreds of dollars, I finally broke down and went to the dermatologist. My point? This might work for mild acne (whiteheads, pustules, etc.) But if you have cysts and nodules, go to the derm. Get a prescription. Get an antibiotic. That's how you treat moderate/severe acne. NOT the Murad Acne Complex Kit.

Pros:the free gift of the mask in the 30 day kit feels good...
Cons:It doesnt work at all and costs waaaay too much.
Bottom Line:i tried the 30 day kit and believed them when they said id get new breakouts during the second week. but it didnt stop there... by the time the 30 day trial was over my face was pretty much the same. maybe a little worse. then i just started using the 60 day real kit and my face exploded with tons more acne. i got it in places ive never gotten it before like on my cheeks. it has ruined my face. i would never reccomend this product. if you want to try a product like this id say go for skin id or proactive. its cheaper and probably works much better.

Pros:convincing commercial
Cons:Dries out your skin and give you random pimples.
Bottom Line:I used this product for a few months, I mostly have acne scars prom popping one or two pimples but overtime the marks add up. I tried murad and it makes your skin bright but you still get them breakouts. I would use it at night and wake up with big pimples and it also dries out your skin.
