Pros:

Liked the moisturizing lotion.

Cons:

Irritated my skin, made it very dry and itchy. When I would apply the on spot acne treatment or the post acne lightener gel it STUNG soo bad. Sometimes when I would apply my make up it would burn really bad. I have been using since Jan. SUCKS.

Basically dont buy it. I still have acne, hasn't improved anything for me. Save your money. Due Accutane thats worth all the $$. Nuetrogena works better.

PURGING!

im still using it for about a month and a half and if it doesnt get any better by the end of the second month, I WILL STOP USING IT. IT MADE MY SKIN WORSE THAN BEFORE!!!!! im not sure how long purging is supposed to take but for me its been about a month.. it started about two weeks after i started using the product.. i also followed the steps exactly and i just got more bumps and broke out more than usual.

Pros:

The cleanser was alright, even though it didn't completely make my skin clear..it didn't cause me to breakout more.

Cons:

The murad spot treatment was way too harsh for my skin.. it damaged my skin. I think because it contains sulfur ingredients. The acne exfoliating treatment gel dried my skin out. The moisturizer was mediocre.

Please do not waste your money on these products. They end up irritating your skin more than treating it. There are cheaper products in drugstores that work better than this system.

Pros:

not sure....

Cons:

very harsh feeling. I have had the same pimples on my face since I started and they have not faded, decreased, nothing! They are still there.

I know they tell you to give it time, but all I see that doing is wasting more of my hard earned money. I have seen nothing positive from this product.

Pros:

I got really good at putting on makeup

Cons:

Acne became much worse!!

After using Proactiv, it still gave me a few pimples here and there, but I wanted a completely clear complexion and decided to just give Murad a shot. It made my skin feel soft and was never dry, but after 2 weeks I had the worst breakout I have ever had in my life. It was absolutely horrific, it turned my few pimples into PAINFUL, 'nonpoppable' little pimples that covered my entire forehead, chin and cheeks (where I never had pimples before!!!). Definitely did not work, and have acne scars to prove it. :(

Pros:

None

Cons:

Made extremely mild acne worse.

I switched from ProActiv because it was no longer working quite as well. I had very mild acne and, within three weeks of using Murad, I have moderate to severe acne all over my face, including places where I never used to break out. Supposedly, acne is supposed to get worse before it gets better as skin "purges," but this is ridiculous. I would not recommend this product what-so-ever.

Pros:

it cleared up most of my forehead & a bit of my cheeks.

Cons:

i've been using it for a while. it doesn't work as fast as it says it does. plus all of a sudden i'm breaking out severely around my chin.

it makes your skin dry; you have high hopes for it...then the hopes go down b/c the "new" condition of your skin goes down. sometimes it makes my skin feel tight & it's starting to peel; no one told me it did that & i really don't like it.
