Pros:I bought MURAD from Sephora on July 27, 2009. I've had it for less than 3 weeks and I don't even wear makeup anymore! I had used Proactiv for about 3 years, and wouldn't go back to it if you paid me (and I used to love it!) I love Murad!
Cons:Nothing. Sure it's $45.00 but you barely use any. Proactiv (and most other acne facewashes) are comparable in price, and don't last as long.
Bottom Line:I am a huge lover of makeup. I am very girly and love having fun with it, but I have struggled with mild acne (a few blemishes here and there) for about 10 years, I'm 23 years old and often times even non-comedogenic makeup made me break out.
Since using Murad I now only wear MAC Powder (more to mask a few freckles on my nose :)) and some blush.
I am thrilled with the product in every way.
Thank you Sephora, you're amazing for showing me this product!
I am the happiest with my skin, I've ever been!

Pros:its cheaper as it comes in a kit.
Cons:purging...my skin started purging really bad from the 2nd day . i waited 28 days because they say that it makes the skin worse before getting better. i waited 6 weeks and my skin just got worser than ever.
Bottom Line:this product does not work at all. just make skin worser and full of acne and new scars. its was a waste of time and money for me. but if u believe it works, u can try out. didnt work for me. so i wouldnt recommend to anyone.

Pros:The first few times you use it your skin feels very soft. Mask is EH.
Cons:A Horrible feeling comes from using it after 2 or 3 days. A HORRIBLE uncomfortable pinching and stinging feeling comes from the cleanser and spot treatment.
Bottom Line:Not a good experience. Hurt horrible and made me have the bad acne I have today. I broke out after four days but thought it was just bringing up stuff from my pores but realized it made me breakout at least 10 times worse than before.
Recommended:No

Pros:This product did clear the acne that I had initially on my face. I have been using it for 2 weeks and I haven't had any new breakouts. It made my pores a lot smaller, and my face doesn't look so red.
Cons:I think its all the citrus extracts, but this product will dry out your skin if you do not moisturize. I did get a slight unnoticeable rash, but I stuck it out and it went away. I'll deal with a little irritation if it clears my face!
Bottom Line:** BTW i did NOT use the Acne Complex Package after hearing the horrible reviews. I went to a local beauty supply and purchased the Clarifying Cleanser and the toner separately. I use a tiny hint of moisturizer morning and night, just a HINT, because this product does dry out your skin and it can be uncomfortable.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:Liked the moisturizing lotion.
Cons:Irritated my skin, made it very dry and itchy. When I would apply the on spot acne treatment or the post acne lightener gel it STUNG soo bad. Sometimes when I would apply my make up it would burn really bad. I have been using since Jan. SUCKS.
Bottom Line:Basically dont buy it. I still have acne, hasn't improved anything for me. Save your money. Due Accutane thats worth all the $$. Nuetrogena works better.
