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:

Repairs some of the unaffected skin areas they look a little fresher than the affected skin.

Cons:

Makes your skin even oilier. Makes you break out a lot. The size of zits are even bigger. Can also cause redness. It can also burn as well.

Its not a very good product. Its more time consuming than most treatments and it doesn't even pay off in the end. Its made my skin oilier and more sensitive. Even though it states you will break out n the first few eeks it gets even worse as you go on. I have been using this product for 2 months now and it just doesn't work at all. My skin looks as bad if not worse from when I first started using it. Its also a little pricey.

Pros:

lotion keeps the oil less from your skin

Cons:

MADE IT WORSE. DID NOT GET BETTER EVEN THOUGH I USED IT FOR 2 MONTHS.

i was caught by the infomercials and orderd them right away, thinking that murad would clear my skin in 4 weeks like they said. paid money and with the body spray and the toner like they recommended. i followed exactly what they said and it just made it worse. it started spreading and just big bumps over my forehead and HURTED a lot. the toner makes it worse SO DONT ORDER IT WHEN THEY ASK YOU IF YOU HAVE OILY SKIN! (they make you wanna order it) NOT HELPFUL ATTTT ALLLL. 4 WEEKS? TOTAL BS.

Pros:

it calmed my acne down a tiny bit

Cons:

My face was so clear when i used proactive, but the infomercial really got to me so I tried and my face got worse and now and still breaking out in places I've never broken out before. I also see the murad estitican once a week and FOR WHAT??????

It is a waste of money they my estitician said it will get better but I still have ugly breakouts it has been over a year and a half and nothing so this is a sign to get the heck off of murad......I agree with others when you stop you break out fast and bad........MURAD SUCKKKKKKKKSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! I CANT BELEIVE I USED IT FOR THAT LONG......BUT THEY KEPT TELLING ME IT WAS NORMAL AND IT WILL GET BETTER WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY......

Pros:

I didn't think the smell was bad at all; one month supply has lasted over five weeks, and I still have enough for at least another 10 days.

Cons:

After five weeks, still purging. Cystic acne, whiteheads, etc. Embarresed to be seen in public with my face the way it is.

I am not sure if my face is worse than it was before, but it's not better like I hoped it would be. I am 37, and am having worse acne now than when I was a teenager. I don't think the lotion is any good. The cleanser is fine. I am going to finish it up, but I don't think I am going to buy it again. I know different things work for different people. I just don't think these three-step systems are good with my skin. Back to the dermatologist.

Pros:

It is too soon for me to tell!

Cons:

I DON'T KNOW YET!

I have very pale, sensitive skin! I started getting this rash-like breakout on my chin, cheeks, and nose and I've had it for a week or two and its not going away. I've had the Murad stuff for two days...and when i woke up the individual spots where bright red and wasn't looking too pretty. The packet said it could get worse before better so I'm going to try it! Oh and there is a 60-day trial so you can return it if you hate it!! Some say it works some say it doesn't, to me it sounds like Proactiv all over again but worth a try cause my face is disgusting!

nothing

Terrible

Wow i have never been so disappointed in a product than this one. I bought the cleanser and its been 1 week that i've been using it, im breaking out badly and with the cystic type of Acne. Its expensive and a waste of money. I have found another product that works wonderful for my skin. Its called ZENMED, for those looking for a new product, try this. My skin is doing great with it. Your skin does not undergo this 'purging process' like Murad says as an excuse for the breakouts that occur while using their product, and i researched more regarding this 'purging process' and it should not be as bad as what i went through while using their product. this product sucks
