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..

Pros:At first it really started to clear up my skin and looked great
Cons:after the second week, I started breaking out extremely bad, all over my chin, cheeks and extremely bad on my neck and neck line.. Worse than I have ever had before.
Bottom Line:after reading reviews, I am not sure if I should give it another week or so, or return the product since Sephora backs it up supposedly. I am 29, and should not be breaking out, it is to the point where I am embarrassed to leave my house! I had mild acne before, not too bad, an used to have incredible skin, and now it is very red and irritated and very painful. I am not sure if I recommend this product. My skin is very sensitive, but it seems like a lot of other people are having the same problems I am having. I know your skin gets worse before it gets better, but this is ridiculous.

Pros:The smell is god!
Cons:It dried my skin a lot, specially the area below my eyes. I am dissapointed!
Bottom Line:It doesn't work. I tried proactiv first and then I decided to give Murad a chance. I am going back to proactiv, the renewing cleanser is the best!

Pros:After using Proactiv for more than 8 years I just always thought my skin would be dry in certain areas. After just using it for one week I have noticed a difference in my skin's texture.
Cons:none!
Bottom Line:If you are wondering if you should try this product, I would say why not?? I was suffering from frequent breakouts while using Proactiv, but was afraid it would get worse if I switched. However, after switching I am sooo happy that I took the chance. Being in my 30's and a mother of two I hated the fact that my acne would not clear up!! This stuff works great! Nobody' s self confidence should suffer becasue of their skin - take a chance!

Pros:cleared up my skin quickly without drying it out
Cons:a little bit expensive
Bottom Line:I actually really love this product. After trying to use Proactiv for months, and watching my face get worse, I got up the nerve to quit and switch to Murad. My skin cleared up almost immediately and is super hydrated. I am so relieved to find a product that actually works and makes my skin feel great. No more piles of foundation =)

Pros:its a great daily facial wash ..thats it,, not for acne
it never dried my skin or makde it oily
Cons:its costs alot and if you dont cancel your memberhsip they will keep sending you the whole kit every month!
Bottom Line:MURAD made me break out more, i know how everyone says you break out when you first start using a product, its part of the healing process, but i have been using it religiously for 3 months and my face actually got worse. If you dont have acne, then i recommend it for a gently daily use facial wash. It smells great.
