Pros:

It reduced my blemishes really fast

Cons:

When i continued to use it, it dried out my face and i started getting more pimples.

This product only works for certain people and what i do is use it once a month. I use other products but i inconsistently use this and it clears my pimples right away.

Pros:

Cleanser makes skin feel clean.

Cons:

Dryness,redness,swolen allergy to product

I myself used proactiv for years and noticed it wasn't helping anymore. So i decided to try Murad after reading about it i thought it might be a good investment. My acne is moderate soemtimes severe depending on the time of month. I used it for 2 days and on the 3rd day i woke up to find my face extremly swolen my eye almost swolen shut and my face red and bumpy. I am returning this and i think they should refund the shipping because its a bogus products. Would not recommend i am now goign to try the acne line from Beauti Control i have been told it works well.

Pros:

the lotion is soothing to your skin

Cons:

you break out worse than when you started, worse than your entire life

i saw the infomercials on t.v., and they were describing all of the symptoms that i had with my skin. i decided to order it thinking my skin would clear up, but i was wrong. i was so excited to get it in the mail especially since they said my face would clear up in like a month, but it didn't work. my face is now worse than it has ever been in my entire life. people invite me places but i'm too embarrassed to go anywhere with my skin looking like this. i stopped using it, and almost instantly my skin started to clear up. this stuff does not work! you just get bigger and more pimples than you've ever had in your life, and in places you've never broke out before. i'm really depressed because of my skin and how it currently looks. this product has ruined my life, and i'm not over exaggerating.

Pros:

smells nice... makes skin feel clean and helped breakouts minimally

Cons:

costs too much and isnt as effective as it claims. another proactiv without the exfoliation in the soap.

unless you have light acne thats mainly caused by bacteria and or inconsistent washing routine.. ITS NOT WORTH IT!!!

Pros:

?

Cons:

Probably the most disgusting combination of things I have put on my face. Its already bad enough to have acne, but once you put on all the creams your face feels greasy and uncomfortable. Super expensive, and too many things to apply

I would probably stay away from this as although I didn't use it for more than a week, no matter how bad my skin was I wouldn't feel comfortable with it on my face.

Cons:

it was expensive, and a complete waste of money. it made ace WORSE than ever

i have been using this product for about 2 weeks. Before my face had normal acne, but now after using it, it seems my acne has gotten so HORRIBLY wrong. im breaking out in places i have never even broke out in. its worthless. the lady at sephora said she used proactiv n it didnt work for her so she moved on to this product. i was in the same situation as her so like the gullable idiot i am, i bought it. i have so many white heads ALL OVER its depressing. i also thought it was the purging proces but after reading these reviews. im am going to discontiue this process. its lamee.

Pros:

The cleanser seemed to reduce the pimples on my face. The moisturizer was pretty good also.

Cons:

The spot treatment was horrible. It was way too harsh and it damaged the skin around my pimple. It made my pimple look worse than before.

I would not recommend this product for people with sensitive skin because many of the chemicals in this product are too intense. I would especially not use the spot treatment from this package as well.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Was worse than proactiv.

This product is horrible, the infomercials make you think It'll be better and less irritating than proactiv, but It's even harsher. I highly recommend people to not use either products.

Pros:

The mask is pretty good - thats it

Cons:

Very expensive and many many more cons

The worst acne treatment product I have ever come across after proactiv. I'm thankful to Clear Pores else I would have continued suffering with my acne for several years.
