Pros:

It worked for the first few weeks. The supply lasted along time. It didn't make my skin sore.

Cons:

It stopped working, even while I was using it, and all my breakouts came back. I'm a little worried about the atomatic billing.

I think that for some people this system would work. But my acne is so bad, and I've tried so many things, that it's just another product to throw on the pile.

Pros:

*Calmed my skin
*Acne scars are diminishing
*Fewer and fewer breakouts

Cons:

*Smell of the acne gel is a little harsh but the lotion balances that out
*Expensive

So far I have been using this product for a week and my skin has never felt better. I tried everything from Proactive to antibiotics to diet and natural remedies and they either made my skin worse or didn't do anything. This was my last resort before trying a microdermabrasion and I don't think I will have to be doing that anymore! My face was filled with small little pimples everywhere mainly cheeks and forehead and cystic acne also that hurt. Right now I have none of that on my skin and it feels great! I will continue to use this product and hope for the best!

Pros:

It works really well. I have tried numerous acne products and so far this is the best.

Cons:

If you stop using it or get lazy with it you will break out.

I am teen who suffers from acne and has been since the age of 12. Since then I have always been embarassed to go places and even used to sacrifice doing the things I loved because of my acne. Murad has helped me regain my confidence back. It never hurts to try something new.

Pros:

-Made Skin soft
-Easy to read instructions
-Works Wonders with acne

Cons:

-Still will have a breakout every once in a while and doesn't remove blackheads sufficiently
-Will dry out your skin at first if lotion isn't applied properly
-YOU WILL BREAKOUT IN THE FIRST MONTH OK????

Murad is my REligion. Before I began using Murad I used Proactive, which was ok, but didn't seem to do the job, still giving me breakouts, and REALLY dry skin. So I switched over to Murad near Christmas in 07 and WOW! Even the bumps under my bangs and around my hairline, Murad got! The only problem is it didn't sufficiantly remove blackheads, and another thing, if you arn't switching over from an 'effective' cleanser then YOU WILL BREAK OUT, because it's taking out the dirt from your pores. But if you have patience and use the prduct as instructed YOU WILL HAVE AMAZING RESULTS!!!

Pros:

Drastically reduced the size of my cystic acne, gave my skin an awesome glow - even with makeup applied - felt clean, but not overly clean. Consistant!!

Cons:

yes, it has the occasional random TINY pimples/whiteheads, exfoliating gel is a bit tacky. Can be expensive if you order it straight from Murad.

I ordered this off of an infomercial thinking, "what the hell, I've tried everything else!" I honestly never experienced the major "purging" aspects of this line -I guess everything works differently for everyone. I did think that the exfoliating gel was a bit tacky, and didn't smell that great, although I did notice once I put the lotion on it felt so smooth. I stopped using it after 6 months secondary to my everlasting need to find an ultimate cure. Boy do I wish I NEVER stopped it! I broke out soooo bad using something else it literally HURT (tea tree oil line). I begged my friend for my Murad back -I gave it to her and it cleared her excema. ONE DAY later my face was almost back to the way it was before I stopped. Cyctic acne -GONE. It actually calmed it.I am now using the Energizing Pomegranate line with the T-zone treatment in the morning, Acne line at night. Try it...stick with it. A little, easily solved whitehead is better than a painful red cyctic pimple! *cheap on E

Pros:

This is the first product that has been able to keep my acne under control.

Cons:

I don't find the Acne Spot Treatment as effective as products that use benzoyl perozide. My face does get a bit shiny during the day.

I love this product. I tried Proactive, but it did nothing for me. Murad works great for me. I love the alpha hydroxy Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel - that has been the key to keeping my breakouts at a minimum. The Skin Perfecting Lotion makes my face feel hydrated, although makes my face a bit shiny. Still, it's nothing like the oil that I had prior to using the product. I also use St. Ives Blemish Control Apricot Scrub a few times as week, and Smashbox Anti-Shine mattifier every day to keep the shine down. I still break out around my period, but get 1 or 2 zits vs. the 30 I got before. Even dealing with Murad has been great. I don't use the products as frequently as they are mailed out, so I requested a hold be put on my account - and have had no issues. Trying to quit Proactive was a pain in the ass - they kept sending me more products, expecting me to pay for them, or pay to ship them back. The price-point is fair, as well. $60 for two months worth (which last

Pros:

The spot treatment is good at soothing blemishes

Cons:

Neverending purging

The cleanser is fairly well however I have seen better results from the Neutrogena oil-free acne wash. The exfoliating gel makes my face feel nasty and is probably the cause of my neverending purging. The skin perfecting lotion makes my face way too shiny and I only squeeze a pea sized amount of lotion out. Basically, I would not reccomend this regimen.

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!!!

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.
