| Pros: | This product did clear up my face somewhat, but not at all like I expected for the price. It also has a nice feeling and smells clean, and doesn't dry out your skin as much as other strong skin products. |
| Cons: | It didn't clear up my face as much as I expected. I have moderate acne, and a lot of scars, and I found that while it did reduce redness and inflammation of existing acne, it didn't do that much to prevent it from forming. |
| Bottom Line: | This is a good product if you have the money and commitment to it. There is a "purging" period where you have an increase in acne, but this is normal and healthy- it is just to get rid of existing oils and bacteria in your pores, kind of like making a fresh canvas. This is worth a try, everyone has different skin and needs a different skin care regimen- Murad might be the one for you. |

| Pros: | Some of the products smelled good. It makes your skin feel good at first. |
| Cons: | Made acne worse. Gave me a rash on my neck. I didnt like the way some of the products smelled |
| Bottom Line: | At first, I thought this product was really going to work. It says it gets worse after two weeks, then you should have clear skin after using it for 4 weeks. I only used it for about 4 or 5 days, and my acne is starting to get worse and after reading these reviews of what this product does to your skin and how it makes it worse than before with scarring and cysts, I am definately not using this product anymore. Now I'm scared after using it for just 4-5 days that my skin is going to get worse for a long period of time. |

| Pros: | The cleanser really feels like it's cleansing your face really good, you get that Tingling feeling, but it didn't work for me=( |
| Cons: | I still break out, I'm still currently using it, but once I'm done with it, I will not buy it again. I never saw my skin improve...and it's been 3 months. |
| Bottom Line: | I have a friend who told me that her friend was using it and it was working for her, but again it didn't work for me. I can't say it won't work for somebody else, but I would say stick with the trials first since they are less expensive then the regular sized bottles, and see if it works for you! |

| Pros: | smells better then most products and it makes your face feel clean |
| Cons: | everything did not work at all made my face so bad that i started to get these massive bumps around my checks and chin. they would hurt so bad that i would call my doctor. this never happened to me to this extent until i started to use this product. |
| Bottom Line: | I always had acne i used proactive for a long time and it worked wonders for me since nothing else worked. after using proactive for two years i stopped using it and my face looked great well after i had my daughter my face started to break out again like it would when i was 16 so i decided to try murad since the girl at the beauty place i bought it talked me into it she said it was better then proactive. well it made my skin worse i swear it left marks and and made my skin uneven. for someone who already has oily skin it made it shine and left this after feel that i just put grease on my face. i went back to using proactive and over night my face started to clear up so stick with proactive |

| Pros: | Smells amazing. It's like a mint gum version of facewash. Really convinces you that it's working. |
| Cons: | I was so excited about this. For the first week and a half it didn't do anything. Then my face got way worse. after for weeks, my face got a little better, but not better than before. |
| Bottom Line: | NOO! |
| Recommended: | No |

| Pros: | works great reduces redness |
| Cons: | expensive |
| Bottom Line: | I do not use the whole kit, just the spot treatment, usually you can get at a beauty store. I've used it for about 8 years now and besides the price I have no complaints, if u have sensitive/oily skin it works great, put down the BP products and try murad |

| Pros: | Gives you that "tingly" feeling, so you think it's working. Feels cool on your skin and smells nice. |
| Cons: | Broke me out like I have never broke out before. |
| Bottom Line: | Please do not buy this product!! My experience was the same as many of the reviewers who say it broke them out worse than before. I had a slight acne problem before buying Murad. After using it for a month, I had cysts all over my cheeks and chin - in places I had NEVER had acne before. I went to a dermatologist, who wanted to put me on accutane, but since I've never had a serious problem before I opted for doxycline and tazorac. Slowly but surely I'm clearing up, but it's two months later and my skin still isn't back to normal. I urge anyone considering this product to avoid it like the plague and see your dermatologist or stick with Proactiv! |

| Pros: | My skin looked great for a while, when I use it twice a day. |
| Cons: | Like most products, it starts to wain. It wasn't exfoliating properly and my nose would always peel. Spot treatment does not work. I developed the cysts too. According to my derm its called milia. I am going to have her remove th |
| Bottom Line: | It can make your skin look really clean...before this product I would get one or two bumps a month, so it's not hard for me to get clear skin. I definitely won't recommend it, because it's about to cost me more money to fix what has happened, about $150 to get the cyst extracted. BTW, i have used this for 2 years, the cysts just occurred about 3 months ago. |

| Pros: | Great cleanser; easy-to-use |
| Cons: | Spot treatment does not work. |
| Bottom Line: | I have been under a dermatologist's care for the past 2 years. In September I had a horrible breakout. My derm tried epiduo, retin-a micro, duac, clindamycin injection, minocin, and doryx---nothing worked. I gave up and decided to use Murad products--in less than 2 weeks my skin became clearer. Hopefully by week 4 my acne will be under control and then I can work on hyperpigmentation. |
