| Pros: | lotion keeps the oil less from your skin |
| Cons: | MADE IT WORSE. DID NOT GET BETTER EVEN THOUGH I USED IT FOR 2 MONTHS. |
| Bottom Line: | i was caught by the infomercials and orderd them right away, thinking that murad would clear my skin in 4 weeks like they said. paid money and with the body spray and the toner like they recommended. i followed exactly what they said and it just made it worse. it started spreading and just big bumps over my forehead and HURTED a lot. the toner makes it worse SO DONT ORDER IT WHEN THEY ASK YOU IF YOU HAVE OILY SKIN! (they make you wanna order it)
NOT HELPFUL ATTTT ALLLL. 4 WEEKS? TOTAL BS. |

| Pros: | I think murad is amazing!! if you use it the way they tell you, and if you can afford it, take the supplements, it really really works!!! i've been on the pills for a few days and ALREADY my skin is starting to clear!! I LOVE MURAD! |
| Cons: | none! |
| Bottom Line: | PATIENCE, and NOT PICKING!!!!!! If you can't, just don't look in the mirror! Use the products just as they tell you to, wash in the morning, and at night, apply the gel and lotion at night, (if you get the supplements, take them as directed) and i swear you will have CLEAR SKIN IN A MONTH!! |

| Pros: | Great smelling and invigorating cleanser! The moisturizer makes my skin feel silky and smooth. The gel is lightening my dark marks left behind from cystic acne. |
| Cons: | The exfoliating acne gel can take time getting used to so just use it at night for the first 2 weeks. |
| Bottom Line: | My whole life I have never suffered from acne. Now that I am 28 I started to have these nightmarish breakouts. Huge cystic acne and blackheads on my jaw and cheeks. I used proactive and it did absolutely nothing for me except hurt when I used it. Finally after trying everything I could get my hands on I came across the Murad website. I quickly ordered the 30 day kit and had my package within 3 days. After 1 week all of my huge painful bumps went down tremendously and now I just have a few dark marks left behind. I never went through the "purging" process they say could happen. When rubbing my hands over my face, it is completely smooth. I really thought I was going to have to pile on tons of makeup forever but this product has made such a huge difference in my life. I would say to try it and if it doesn't work for you, they give you a full refund. |

| Pros: | None - honestly. Just none. |
| Cons: | I only used the Murad Acne Spot Treatment - not the |
| Bottom Line: | I only used the Murad Acne Spot Treatment - not the whole system of all the Murad products. I foolishly picked this 1 oz tube up while waiting in line at Sephora. Someone mentioned that sulfer was good for your skin, and doesn't age you like BP, so I thought I would try it. I used it for one week before I couldn't do it anymore. The smell was awful, the consistency felt really greasy to me, plus it did absolutely nothing for my acne except make it slightly more inflamed. Forget it! If you want to use something other than BP that doesn't age you, I'd recommend AHAs...I am using Alpha Hydrox 8% exfoliating cream, along with lemon juice afterward, and it is looking pretty hopeful. Just don't bother with Murad!!! |

| Pros: | it calmed my acne down a tiny bit |
| Cons: | My face was so clear when i used proactive, but the infomercial really got to me so I tried and my face got worse and now and still breaking out in places I've never broken out before. I also see the murad estitican once a week and FOR WHAT?????? |
| Bottom Line: | It is a waste of money they my estitician said it will get better but I still have ugly breakouts it has been over a year and a half and nothing so this is a sign to get the heck off of murad......I agree with others when you stop you break out fast and bad........MURAD SUCKKKKKKKKSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! I CANT BELEIVE I USED IT FOR THAT LONG......BUT THEY KEPT TELLING ME IT WAS NORMAL AND IT WILL GET BETTER WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY...... |

| Pros: | -Makes skin very smooth, and has started healing scars -Seems to be working as advertised so far -Strikes a perfect balance between drying/moisturizing complexes for my skin |
| Cons: | -The "Purge" is occuring on my skin, though it doesn't seem nearly as severe as some have put it -Toner works well, but causes terrible redness and inflamation on acne/scars for up to an hour after. Subsides after a while tho, and is a good AHA |
| Bottom Line: | Right now I am cautiously optimistic with the Murad solution. I don't have terrible acne, more just whiteheads scattered around. I've only been on the solution for a couple days, but as of right now it seems to be working. Over the first two or three days, I had numerous small whiteheads show up, nothing massive, but annoying. Over the past couple, their surfacing has seemed to slow. Let me be clear that these were very tiny, managable blemishes, no huge cysts. Hopefully my skin takes to the product more, and the clearing part of the ad will follow the purging part. On a side note, this product makes my skin feel very exfoliated and just great overall, not too oily, not too dry. Its much less harsh than Dan's or Neutrogena's regimens, and I hope the great skin quality is a promise of things to come. I only have a 30 day sample, so if no progress has been made by then, I will go back to just gentle cleanser and moisturizer. My skin afterall isn't terrible to begin with. |
