One of the worst products I have tried not to mention expensive and not even worth it. I was using Proactiv for five plus years with no problems. I was intrigued to try something different and thought that I would give Murad acne complex a try. Needless to say it was the worst thing that I could have ever done to my skin. It caused redness, irritation, and caused me to get pimples. Even the cleanser is harsh. I couldn't even use second step of the treatment gel because it burns your face and dries it up worse than the cleanser plus the moisturizer is just as worthless and didn't do a thing and my skin looked dry and patchy and was uneven. Possibly someone with severely oily skin would benefit from this but it was by far a waste of money. Since switching back to using Proactiv my skin has cleared up and I have had no problems.

Dr. Murad acne complex system was worthless! I used it for two months and ended up sending it back for a full refund. I have had mild cystic acne for 10 years and this was the worst product I have ever used, and EXPENSIVE. Over the counter treatments are better. I realize everyones skin is different, for anyone that has cystic acne do not bother with this product. Try Proactiv, it is amazing and much cheaper!

I wish I had read these reviews before purchasing this product! man, is this stuff terrible. Yes, we all have different skin, but this is just ridiculous! I used it for two months and the only thing I've seen is redness, itchy skin and flakes! oh and did i mention MORE acne. I don't think it takes two months to purge and, if it does, I don't want it. My skin is so much worse than it was before. sigh. what next?

I tried the cleanser and half my face peeled off. I live by the moisturizing acne gel but every product barely qualifies as mediocre. The spot treatment is decent but does not live up to the claims. I stick to Proactiv which is much gentler on my skin. I don't have flawless skin but much better than I did on the Murad regimen.

WOW! This product really really SUCKS! It is amazing how much WORSE this junk made my skin feel.

I went through 2 months of CRAP with this product, and now I am going to try Dan's regimen. Thank god they have a refund, but I'm still pissed my face looks like 2 year's worth of acne.

The first four weeks is pimple city. They tell you that. And be prepared to have about 2 years worth of acne on one face. I think I counted like 15 HUGE whiteheads along with the other small white/pale bumps on my face. I even got acne on my forehead; never had a single pimple in over 8 years on my forehead!

After the month, I THOUGHT it had cleared. I started to see maybe SOME indication of this working. Boy, was I wrong! The so called "purging" process [censored] came back and I was seeing more acne than ever before.

If Dr. Murad was right here in front of me right now, I would severly kick his ass and maybe pop a couple 9's in his ass for making a product that DOESN'T heal acne, but produce it!!

Like the people before me, I would SEVERLY consider NOT buying this product. It has given me MORE acne than when I started, not to mention it costs alot (taken care of by refund).

THIS IS A SCAM! DON'T BUY! IT WILL GIVE YOU MORE ACNE THAN BEFORE...

I used Proactive before which worked very well for the first 2 months, and than I started to breake out like crazy! Than I tried Murad, it didn't work at all! It made me had more pimples than ever! My whole cheeks are full with pimples now! And it creats a burning sensation on your face when you apply, which is not cool! Don't try it! and it's mad expensive too!
