Pros:

It helps reduce my acne big time.

Cons:

I use about 3 other products with it.... Rubbing alcohol. The insides of aleve liquid gels, tea tree oil and some avon stop treatment.

i love they way it makes my skin feel but i will never use it all by itsef.

Pros:

It clears up or pimple and white head , skin look tight like teen. no flaky But I use just toner and ex foliate acne gel.

Cons:

when I use the whole package it made my face terrible and flaky.

at first I use the whole package 2 year ago at first 2 weeks my skin was so perfect. my pimple all gone. I use a lot of exfoliate acne gel and a lot of toner. then after that my skin got worse and worse. so terrible. then I switched to Proactive then Dan regimen, even how long I 've had use I never had a good day. I alway get a new big pimple every other day! then I thought my skin must love Salicid acid but at that time I must use it overuse. then I switched back to murad again but I use only toner and exfoliate acne gel. and I just use a little one time a day then 3 months later morning and night and I use Estee advance night repair for moisture. That's it! now my skin is so incredible. I got people give me compliment how my skin so perfect in age of 30s.

Pros:

I've used the murad acne set along with their sulfur spot treatment and the post acne spot lightening gel. Overall my skin texture has improved greatly(escpecially after using the lightening gel). However it has not "cured" my acne.

Cons:

It's expensive to maintain using the sets and additional products. The sulfur spot treatment obviously smells bad but worked for me.

Good products but the price of maintaining the use of the products too much

Pros:

It actually works - removes makeup, doesn't clog pores, kills bacteria...my acne has gotten better - knock on wood

Cons:

I think I may be building a tolerance

Try it out for a month - at least. Hopefully, you don't build a tolerance, because it would be a miracle wash.

Pros:

Simple and effective

Cons:

Maybe not strong enough

I found the murad care line to be moderalty good it helped figt my acne although isnt really strong enough to prevent big breakouts however still great if you have sensitive red skin:)

Pros:

This collection worked quickly to get rid of pimples, and also evened out my skin tone. I used all the products as directed (but using the gel at night only) and my existing pimples shrank and disappeared in 3 days. It's great that you can buy a sample kit with all the products to test whether they're right for your skin type, or to use just for a short time if you have occasional acne. The spot treatment is gentle and doesn't "cake" on pimples, which is good. The lotion is really soothing.

Cons:

Cleanser does not remove makeup very well, especially not mascara/eyeliner. The toner and gel are a little abrasive - my skin goes red when I put them on, but thankfully returns to normal by the time I'm done my morning routine. Consider using the gel only at night.

I bought this kit on Sunday because I needed to be pimple-free by Friday, and it worked for me. It freaks me out that some products make my skin turn red, but the reality is that my skin tone is much more even after just a week of use and I'm wearing less makeup than usual. This sample kit is definitely worth trying - these could be the products that work for your skin!
