| Pros: | I don't really mind the smell as much as other people i guess and i really like the face wash and moistureizer. |
| Cons: | Making me break out more and not really doing much of anything else for my skin so far. |
| Bottom Line: | I've been using these products for alomost 2 weeks now and before I started using it I had severe acne all over my cheeks and some on my chin, but not so much on my forehead and my face was red all over. After a little less than a week my face started getting worse now I have a ton of little pimples all over my jawline. They hurt really bad and they are making my jawline really red. It actually hurts just to touch my face so you can imagine what it is like to wash it. I read the little booklets and went on the website and it says it is the purging process, and that it is completly normal and it will go away soon, but I also read reviews on the internet about people who have used it for 6 weeks or longer and the bad acne that acne complex has caused still never went away. hopefully this is just purging and it will go away but with the luck i've had with acne products it doesn't seem likly. I guess you should give it a try and see if it works for you, everyone is different. |

| Bottom Line: | Didnt have "terrible acne" to start , just wanted to get rid of some black heads & a few pimples. Used product for 1st 2 weeks, seemed to work, then as if overnight I HAD THE WORST ACNE IN MY LIFE ! Heard about the " purging " thing , stuck with it, I had terrible sore bumps that lasted for days & weeks . Used it faithfully for 4 months & finally got fed up being a 40 yr old " zit face ". I was embarassed my face looked like a war zone , talk about embarassing. Went to a local store bought spent about 10 bucks on oxy wash & cleansing pads and my skin had improved immediately, although I am still dealing with the old zit marks that hopefully with fade . I am sooo disappionted with Murad . |

| Pros: | none |
| Cons: | I cleared up for about 4 days then broke out worse than i have ever done before. After about 3 weeks i had to quit because my skin was the worst it has been in my life. |
| Bottom Line: | Stay far away from this product. It is just another infomercial scam. They promise you clear, beautiful skin and give you the exact opposite. I would never have used this stuff if i knew what it was going to do to me. I was extremely disapointed and am still recovering. Thank god its mostly gone now. |

| Pros: | This is an amazing product. I have struggled with terrible acne for most of my life. I have tried everything under the sun. A friend told me about Murad so I thought why not it's worth a try. This product has changed my life is so many ways. |
| Cons: | Waiting for it to start working. Going through your acne having to get worse for it to get better, but it was well worth the WAIT!!! |
| Bottom Line: | Anyone who has bad acne of any kind try this product you will be so happy with the end results. My family tells me I seem so much happier now that my acne is clear. This product does not work overnight. It has taken about two weeks to see improvement. |

| Pros: | Reduces inflamation of pimples the very next day Makes skin feel smoother |
| Cons: | Slightly expensive |
| Bottom Line: | If you've tried Proactiv and it didn't work for you, I would definitely suggest giving Murad a try. I used Proactiv consistently for about a year, and saw absolutely no improvement. (In fact, I think Proactiv actually worsened my skin. Benzoyl Peroxide is an extremely strong ingredient and can actually aggravate the skin, causing you to get more breakouts). I then switched to Murad and saw a dramatic improvement in about 3 days! The exfoliating gel combined with the spot treatment really helps to reduce the inflamation of pimples and they are much smaller the next day. I think that each persons skin is different, so while some peoples skin may respond to Proactiv, the salicylic acid in Murad may be more suitable for others. |

| Pros: | It looks pretty |
| Cons: | Totally dried out my skin, it did the total opposite of clearing my skin! |
| Bottom Line: | This product claims it's a better choice over Proactiv, but really, its the other way around. I used Murad because it said it was better than Proactiv. After the second week I saw that is dried out my skin and made my acne worse. So when I switch to Proactiv I was so pissed at how wrong the advertisment was w/ Murad. Proactiv cleared ALL of my acne in 1 month, and I haven't had 1 breakout ever since. So if u see "Murad over Proactiv" know this:That's total BS!!! |
