| Pros: | The wash feels good to the skin, like it's working.... BUT ITS NOT |
| Cons: | Made me break out like i have never in my life before experienced. I am still feeling the affects of it and looking to use Carley's clear and smooth to see if it can fix the DAMAGE MURAD has done to my face. |
| Bottom Line: | Before purchasing Murad my face wasn't in need of any drastic change i had a few head bumps that i wanted to take care of and in general a face wash i can use to maintain my face. I used Murad for 7 months and didn't improve not even a lil my face broke out in huge pimples and NEVER BEFORE had this happened to me. I wish i read these reviews before trying Murad so anyone reading this consider yourself warned.... Please dont use this product! |

| Pros: | smells okay, feels like it's working. The first week I think it DID make my skin better, but it didn't last for long. |
| Cons: | After a week I had more zits than I ever have before and now I have scars from them. It doesn't get better after 3 weeks of "purging", it gets bad and I saw no improvement. |
| Bottom Line: | My friend told me she was using this and to give it a try. Like I said it got bad quickly, but I stayed on it because she would ask about it and kept telling me to push through, it'll get better, but after about 5 weeks with no improvement, I sent it back and got my money back, minus the $15 shipping!! >:| Anyways, I see her often and she still gets acne, even though she likes the product she still has it and she's been on it for a year, at least.
don't waste your time, get on Accutane or some other pill. To get rid of your acne you need something working from the inside as well as the outside.
BEST OF LUCK! :) |

| Pros: | Smells nice |
| Cons: | My face exploded |
| Bottom Line: | Not worth it. I used it for about 2 weeks and kept telling myself it's gotta get worse before it gets better. But after 2 weeks I had acne where I've never had acne before and my face HURT. |

| Pros: | None. |
| Cons: | -It purged my skin aka more skin breakouts. |
| Bottom Line: | I tried and purchased the whole Murad Acne Kit, which is 4 pieces. I had gorgeous Gabrielle Union skin until around 19 years old. My skin at that time, randomly breaking out. Because I have been diagnosed with hormonal acne, my skin one minute is clear, then just breaks out. So, I can't say if it is moderate or light. Def. not severe though. I bought this kit because their infomercial stated how gentle it was compared to Proactiv.
But within a short period of using this, my pimples became cluster-Cysts on both sides of my face. After my skin healed, I was left with really ugly acne hyperpigmentation on both sides of my face. It looked awful and took months to disappear. As a woman of color, I can't afford to purge, as once the breakout heals, I get hyperpigmentation. I think this is the worst product I tried. |

| Pros: | Cleanser seems to cleanse well. Takes time. Be patient. |
| Cons: | Takes a really really really long time to work. But i think it works. |
| Bottom Line: | Well I'm African American. Bottom line is when i got this product it made me break out even worse. All over. It really sucked and was very uncool. This product works product but not in 4 weeks. Not for me atleast. It took me about 4 months until my skin was completely clear. I had only 1 or two pimples and they would stay small and go away fast. I stopped using this product because i read some GREAT reviews on how applying lemon juice on your face WORKS WELL AGAINST ACNE. I was skeptical but I went for it and tried the lemon. I've been using lemon for a month now and i think it's working very well. i've had two pimples in one month and they were fairly small. Try the lemon. I highly recommend it people. I still have my last shipment of murad acne complex that i have not opened yet. If the lemon does not work i'll definitely go back to murad. Murad works very very very slow but i think if you're patient it will work. Your skin just has to get used to it. |

| Pros: | The cleanser smells nice and cools and refreshes your face; that's about it |
| Cons: | Makes you break out like hell!
Expensive, |
| Bottom Line: | I've used for four weeks now. The cleanser is very good, it refreshes the skin and cools it down. However, the lethal stuff is the "Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel" which I guess make you break out big time.
Today being the fourth and it has NOT made any difference to my face at all! Its made it worse if anything. The "purging" process is disgusting. Made me breakout like never before. The pimples were big,red,painful and made me want to avoid everyone!
And now thanks to the "purging" process I have hyper pigmentation marks all over my face. :@
Bottom Line: Do NOT buy this rip off of a product!!
Somebody should sue Dr. Murad!

| Pros: | The pro I would say is the smell |
| Cons: | Made your face break out |
| Bottom Line: | The bottom line is that I gave this thing a chance.. I used it as recomended.. I used it for about 4 weeks thinking ok.. The purging is going to stop.. EVERYDAY something new formed.. Then in week 4 I would have about 3 to 4 pimples form and they were huge... By the mid of week 4 I wanted to crawl under a rock it made my face so bad.. I mean I really gave this thing a chance.. I guess it really didn't work for me.. So I would say if you want to try it, try it for the length of time recommended to see if it's really right for you.. |
