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!!!

Pros:

1 or 2 days of clear skin

Cons:

Cystic Acne
Scarring
Burning & Itching
Extreme redness

For the love of god DO NOT purchase this product. Originally I had been using a cheap OXY product from the grocery store when a family member recommended Murad. Worst decision I have ever made in my life. Using the Oxy Clinical Treatment for 9 bucks worked a million times better. I know have cystic acne ALL over the sides of my nose, cheeks, lip, chin, and I'm even getting acne on the bottom of my jaw. Don't waste your time on this. I don't want anyone to go through what I am going through, so save your money and buy anything else BUT Murad.

Pros:

NONE!!!!!

Cons:

Made my skin 100 times worse

Avoid the Murad system like the plague!!! It caused me to get cystic acne that I am still struggling to clear up months after stopping using these products. Do yourself a favor and try something else!
