| Pros: | it made most of the acne that i had go away, and it did make my pores smaller and my face was less oily.... |
| Cons: | i would not recomend any one to use this product if you have any allergies to oranges or citrus fruit.... |
| Bottom Line: | i didn't realize that the ingredients were almost all orange oil, lemon oil, tangerine oil, and alot of other things ...basically it caused my face and eyes to swell up after two days of use and am not very happy about that...i am very unhappy with the after effects |

| Pros: | Worked for about a week. |
| Cons: | Made my skin worse than before and very expensive. |
| Bottom Line: | When I first used this product, it made me skin slightly clearer in about the first week. After this, my skin went really bad, it said on the instructions that your skin would purge for about one to two weeks, mine skin went really bad and did not change. After two months I gave up on this product. It is a waste of money, and does not do what it says it does. Seriously don't buy it!!! |

| Pros: | It works and feels wonderful the very first time you use it. Smells nice. While using everyday for a short time it is very good. |
| Cons: | If you stop using this for a day or two acne comes back almost immediately. Stops working as good after a few weeks. Very expensive |
| Bottom Line: | Although it works great in the beginning this product doesn't keep skin clear, you'll be throwing away $50-$60 over and over again hoping it'll work. If you really want to see if it will work for you, good luck. |
| Recommended: | No |

| Pros: | Spread easily over skin and had a good consistency. |
| Cons: | Irritated skin EXTREMELY. Didn't see any change in acne, except for the fact that it enflamed pre-existing acne. Smelled AWEFUL. |
| Bottom Line: | Murad's acne complex is just an expensive bar of soap, that was harsh on the skin. |

| Pros: | works well at first |
| Cons: | does not get rid of cystic acne does not help much with scars |
| Bottom Line: | I did not really go through the purging phase like the others. At first, I thought it was ok because it made my skin tone even and somehow lessened my acne. I was not working then so I did not have to deal with a lot of stress. When I started working, my skin got worse even if I was still on Murad. I continued it for another 3 months but I did not see any improvement. I don't really recommend this for someone who has moderate to severe acne. It's too expensive and will probably work only for people with very mild acne |

| Pros: | - their spot treatment was actually effective |
| Cons: | - ineffective overall - expensive |
| Bottom Line: | I like their bonus sulfur based spot treatment, that really was a magical tube. I dab it on a pimple and a few hours later it shrinks considerably. The other 3 products (face wash, gel, moisturizer) was completely ineffective though. It didn't do anything for my face whatsoever, didn't make it worse, or better. The ingredients weren't potent enough I guess. |

| Pros: | None |
| Cons: | I don't have too much to say because I used this for about 4 months and it didn't change my acne for better or for worse. |
| Bottom Line: | This product does nothing but what a basic bar of soap does after washing your face. I saw no improvements at all nor did it make my face worse. I just felt like I wasted my money cause the end result after four months was the same before using the product. |

| Pros: | The cleanser is really nice. It doesn't wash away essential oils and doesn't leave your skin dry. You also don't have to use a lot to get a good lather. |
| Cons: | A bit expensive. |
| Bottom Line: | This is a very good product. I use it twice a day everyday. If you can't use it the way it needs to be used, then it isn't worth the expense. As far as the purging period goes, it was only about a week for me. This is the only product that has worked consistently for me. It doesn't dry out my skin and it has a moisturizer built into the system! |
