Pros Awesome cleanser,
great toner,
less acne,
more confidence
Cons a little expensive but worth it
Bottom line I have tried clearsil, oxy, neutrogena, setafil, acnefree, everything! Nothing really worked, up until this past school year I only had a few zits, then puberty hit full force and my face broke out! After trying many products, with no success, my parents saw a commercial on TV about Acne Complex. We gave the 30 day kit a try and I was sold. After a few more breakouts during the second week, like the product information warns because the system is purging your skin, was the only time I had doubts. But then the third week came around and I was down to maybe 3 blemishes on my face, and considering the acne treatment was fighting against hormones, it worked great! Then after the fourth week I ran out, ordered the full system with the toner, WHICH I RECOMMEND you get, the system works much faster with it and it helps stop more acne from forming, and your over all skin tone improves. Now it's been about two and half weeks since I ordered the full kit and my skin is looking amazing! All that's really left is acne scars, which continue to vanish, in fact its working so well, I recommended it to a friend who tried it and is loving it too! I know some people say it's terrible that second week, but if you have moderate acne, and your face isn't overly sensitive this product really works! *OH tip: it doesn't work to well if you adjust climates, I went on a vacation from Colorado to LA and broke out a bit, most likely the humidity! Overall, this product is wonderful, after 3 years of Acne, I was so ready for clear skin, and murad helped me get there! By the way, normal cost is 29.99, toner adds $10.

Pros zero + zero
Cons Like the first poster, It took 2 weeks, then my face broke out like it never did before... I had say 2 pimples per day before, after 2 weeks on Murad I had like 20 big hurting pimples ... I barely could talk, eat and laughing wasnt an option... and that lasted a good 2 weeks..
Bottom line This thing is not for everyone and frankly, it is so risky that I wouldnt recommend anyone to try it... I guess buy salycic acid at the store and do some tests at home before even considering that product.. I guess it's the salycic acid my skin doesn't tolerate..

Pros After first use your face will feel soft and refreshed.
Theres always a minty cool feeling after washing your face
Cons after 2 weeks on this product my face broke out like CRAZY!!! It became WORSE then EVER BEFORE!!!
Bottom line I do not reccomend this product! OMG My face is horrible! I have never had a face full of acne! And now I do! And i mean, I am literally full of acne! I cannot see my skin! Its To the point where I am so ashamed to go out in public, sure ive had pimples a few irritations here and there (I had light severity of acne when i started on this product) but ive never experiance something like this! Please, heed my warning DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! If there was only a way for me to upload pics of my face I would. Dear God....

Pros leaves skin soft and clear, use the product with the vitamin C lotion and maybe ill work
Cons not using the gel every day only once a week can stand the pain
Bottom line After reading all the comments i am not sure of the results, but i don't want to go back to neutrogena or proactiv i am only 13 and that stuff was leaving my face full of red spots

i am only in my 3rd week so i guess i will stay another week to see if it works

Pros Affordable, effective
Cons treatment gel stings, but it only lasts a few seconds.
Bottom line I have hormonal acne. I have tried many products in my life, just like any other person who suffers from acne and nothing seems to work.

I have tried the Neutrogena acne treatment set but it ended up over drying my skin. I also went to a doctor and was prescribed tretinoin, but that was too strong for my skin as I felt my skin was becoming over sensitive even with mild sun exposure. Nothing seemed to work and as I was on the verge of giving up, I remembered the informercial on Murad and thought I'd give it a try because I had nothing to loose. It worked wonders during the first week. I am on my 3rd week now, although it "purges" but I could see my skin cleared up and I am very happy there are no new breakouts. This product works for me and i would recommend it.

I bought mine at Ulta by Willowbrook.

Pros -smells great
-leaves skin fresh and "clean"
-not sticky, or over-drying
-customer service, live chat on website to answer any and all questions
-clears my skin!!
Cons None for me
Bottom line Murad is the only product I will EVER put on my face, for any issue I ever have with my skin. they have an amazing line of products, and I am indebted to Dr. Murad!! They have the best customer service, and I am a member, so I receive a kit every 60 days of the acne regimen. live chat with a REAL person, they go out of their way to ensure you are satisfied, and I know that from experience.
I know this product may not work for everyone, but I am agitated by the comments I am reading! It takes more than 4 weeks to tell if a product works for you, It takes about a month and a half. You can't wash your face with a product one morning and that night and expect to have a clear complexion! Your skin has to regenerate, and that is where the "purging process" comes into play. Pimples can take a while (2-3 weeks) to actually reach your skin's surface, and everyone's skin is different. My face didn't clear up in 4 weeks as advertised, but it did in a month and a half! Murad Ance Complex and Murad's team of experts has changed my life, and the way I treat my skin. My experience with this product is top-notch, and I achieved the results I wanted and then some. My acne is gone, and now I am working with the Murad team to ensure my skin care regimen is right for me, for whatever my concerns are now, which ISN"T ACNE! I would recommend this product to anyone who loves their skin, and wants to GET CLEAR!!

I suffered with hormonal cystic acne, red, irritated, itchy painful skin. Please give it a try, and if you have tried it but quit or didn't follow the regimen as directed, don't write a negative review because you didn't get to experience the full cycle.

Pros Works for at least some people - but very rarely.
Cons Exfoliating gel burns and irritates my face.
Bottom line I had moderate acne with a few scars that i wanted to get rid of. So i decided to use Murad to make my face clear - instead my face broke out to the extreme leaving my skin worse than it was before.

I've been using their products for 3 weeks and a couple of days - almost the recommended 4 weeks, but my face broke out so much, that i'm more than 100% sure will not take only a couple of days to clear up.

Pros Cleared up the majority at first.
Cons Murad has a "purging", where you get some acne from the product flushing out bacteria. It does not last long, but it is a little annoying. My acne cleared up for the most part, but my skin is far from clear and I've been using this product for a while now. Even diligently washing day and night, I still break out even though I drink tons of water and wash my face day and night.
Bottom line It's not a horrible product, but not great, and definitely not worth the price.
