Pros:

NONE

Cons:

-DOESNT WORK AT ALL
-MY SKIN NEVER ONCE IMPROVED SINCE THE DAY I STARTED USING IT
-PEOPLE WHO ANSWER PHONES NEED LESSONS IN PEOPLE SKILLS (HORRIBLE AT COMMUNICATING)
-PEOPLE WHO SHIP OUT ORDERS NEED GLASSES TO GET ORDERS CORRECT

Dont waste your money on this rediculous product; it didnt work at all in the 6 months that I used it PLUS the people who answer the phones need an attitude check because they are incredibly rude, "Katie" specifically who is supposed to be one of the managers. They sent me orders that I never ordered and charged my debit card, then they tell me to refuse the package and I still have not recieved my refund. I would NEVER recommend this product to anyone because the product does not work and because the service is rediculous.

Pros:

Cleared my face
Doesnt take long

Cons:

Took longer then it says
Cant stop using it

It really did clear my skin ! But it took me more like a month to work not 3 weeks like it says & I cant stop using it. When I font use Murad for more than 2 days my acne starts popping up again. Maybe its just me but I woukd recomend this if you have the money to spend.

Pros:

Didn't work

Cons:

Some of the products smelled funky
Didn't work

I hated this product, I feel very bad for making my mom buy it, did nothing what so ever for my skin. That is when I switched to Doxycycline, and it worked wonders on my face!

Pros:

The cleanser is refreshing

Cons:

Didnt work
Made skin WORSE
Waste of money

My acne got WAY worse with Murad. I hoped that it would clear after a "purging period" but I have used it for about 6 weeks and my light acne has turned into moderately severe acne... My skin has never been this broken out. I would NEVER recommend this to anyone. I am going to try AcneFree. I'm hoping for a better result. I would'nt even give this product a 1.

Pros:

Got read of my mild acne, Lightened my acne scars and made my skin smoother and softer.

Cons:

So expensive.

I needed an acne treatment to clear up my breakouts that I would get once or twice a month ( only about 3 or so pimples) so I decided to give this a try because the sales woman at the store swore by it. She said her kids use it and they have really bad acne, and if i didn't like it I could return it and get my money back. So I said hey why not, since day one of using this product I saw an improvement in my skin tone, and even since then I have not gotten any pimples or blackheads. I love this product, everyone skin is different and what what works for one person may not work for someone else. I would and have recommended this product to my friends. I only gave 4 stars because of the price being so expensive. I love it!!!
