Pros:

I think murad is amazing!! if you use it the way they tell you, and if you can afford it, take the supplements, it really really works!!! i've been on the pills for a few days and ALREADY my skin is starting to clear!! I LOVE MURAD!

Cons:

none!

PATIENCE, and NOT PICKING!!!!!! If you can't, just don't look in the mirror! Use the products just as they tell you to, wash in the morning, and at night, apply the gel and lotion at night, (if you get the supplements, take them as directed) and i swear you will have CLEAR SKIN IN A MONTH!!

Pros:

It is better than Proactiv. Takes off redness and pimples.

Cons:

Long treatment. Twice a day.

It did make a change in my face but it didn't work as said on TV. I still recomend it because it still looks pretty good.

Pros:

Sulfur and salicylic based = less redness (gentle)
Pretty consistent
Good alternative if sensitive to benzoyl

Cons:

Dry sometimes but then use morad lotion

Tried Proactiv, the benzoyl made my few pimples more inflamed so Morad is a good gentle alternative. Sulfur products are unbelievable in combo with salicylic

Pros:

Very good! Worked the moment I put it on! The moisturizer is my favorite, it's potent enough for my dry skin and helps the acne.

Cons:

A little overpriced and no SPF

Wonderful product if you are willing to spend a little more.

Pros:

Cleared my back entirely, evens out lumps and bumps

Cons:

Price

The exfoliating gel in this kit is beautiful, giving a fantastic even skin tone and the cleanser is also very good, however the spot gel did more or less nothing. The acne on my back and chest was cleared and stayed away with this set, but on my face the effect was less permanent. I'd say this is very good for clearing up anything hideous, but not something that should be used as a 'regular' preventative. It's also good for sensitive skin: Neutrogena tore skin off my face and back, but this product is gentle enough and non-drying enough to not bother me.

Pros:

Refreshing feeling, noticeable change, really feels like it works.

Cons:

Purging stage, stings a little, smells weird.

Okay, everyone is complaining about the purging stage. The truth is, this happens with almost EVERY acne treatment you'll use. It's the hidden stuff coming up and your face adjusting to the change. It takes a while to adjust to and everyone reacts differently. After using the product only once, my face started to break out a little..However, in the spots where it was clear, you could tell that those spots were actually cleaner. You can feel both the 1st and 2nd step working while you apply it. My face still hasn't cleared up, but I'm still in the purging stage and I have hope for this product, honestly. I know it will work out in the end. You shouldn't lose hope either. I got this product at Sephora for 27 dollars; 25 with my mall discount. If you want to buy this product, you can find it cheap, I'm sure. I got the entire package. I will update my review once I get past the purging stage.

Pros:

- Gentle
- Clears skin fast
- Not too drying
- You can feel it working

Cons:

-There is a 'purging stage' but that happens with lots of products!! It doesn't last long.

This was recommended by my dermatologist and its amazing! I use the cleanser and the spot treatment every second day and the treatment gel every other day. It's really great for my skin and works really well except it varies for different people's skin. But it's really gentle and I'm surprised to see so many bad reviews! I experienced the 'purging stage' about a week after i started using it but that passed quickly and just started clearing up. You should definitely try it!!

Pros:

Definitely works for mild acne. It cleared up my skin. I have really oily skin, so it did not dry out. Great to use under makeup.

Cons:

You do have to put up with the purging - more pimples ofr a while. But I would say that it is worth it.

I used it for 6 months, and then when my skin was clear, switched to Neutrogena. I then began breaking out, so have gone back to Murad. I find it cheaper on [link removed] than the Murad website. The Exfoliating Gel is the best, along with the cleanser. Worth a try!

Pros:

I must say I thought this product was not going to work. I was ridiculously wrong! Haha ! This stuff is awesome , before i bought it i had severe acne and just a bit of acne scars from picking. Its been two days i've been using it , healing beatiful.

Cons:

None, yes i know there may be a purging period. But my face has never looked better and its only been two days!!! Dont get me wrong! I still have alot of healing to do but ive already received comments how less red my acne looks !

Well ive used everything proactive, over the counter, expensive dermatologist visits! This has worked for me and ive used it for literally two days and my face looks better than ever!
