Pros:

Very refreshing

Cons:

Made my face raw and red

I really liked the cleanser because it left my face super refresed BUT it was too strong to take off my eye makeup which I didn't like. The moisturizer was nice but the acne gel or something this package made my sensative skin raw and red, so I had to return it.

Pros:

Reduced acne for about 2 days (not by much)

Cons:

Cystic acne
Horrible breakouts
Oily skin

I used this acne kit for about a month and a half and it basically destroyed my skin. I went from having a couple white heads and regular pimples to big, red cystic acne. I still have scars from what it caused. Don't use it.

Pros:

- Eliminates breakouts

- minimizes light scarring

Cons:

- can be very drying

I have been using Murad for a few weeks, anda at first was terrified by the reviews I read about the product. I have very oily skin, but I only have mild acne. At first, I used the products twice a day as directed. In my opinion, this is way too much for this strong product, and probably why many people experience dissatisfaction with it. I use this kit just once daily (in the morning) and use a gentle cleanser at night. I also supplement with a stronger moisterizer - seems to work great for me with this combination.

Pros:

Diminishes acne/one or two days.

Cons:

Everything. This product is terrible. When i started using it i had light acne only on my right cheek, but now i have it on both of my cheeks ;( please do not use this lame product. Its a complete waste of money. Burns, rash, dries skin. Everything.

Do not get this product. Im currently trying aloe vera pills/drink and lemon juice and its working way better than this pathetic product. So newbies. Dont get your hopes up if you buy it.

Pros:

At first acne went down . Big pimples don't come out as big.

Cons:

White heads get more bigger/nasty , got acne were I never use to get it. Started to sting a bit. Acne everywere on face : cheeks ,forehead, chin, nose, around lips,

Have been using it a bit over a month and acne changed from little white heads and big ugly pimples to not as big pimple but more and bigger white heads and red bumps. Good results at first then- big and saddening disappointment .

Pros:

Cleared up skin temporarily

Cons:

Very strong scent, makes skin sting the first couple times you use it, makes you break out even more than before, very pricey

I've had acne since 6th grade and I am now in high school. I saw the commercials for this product and I thought, "Why not give it a try?" I have literally tried EVERYTHING. So I went out and bought it at Sephora at my local mall. I was very excited to try this product. But I have to say I am very disappointed with it. The first time I used it made my skin sting & burn like nothing else I've ever tried. & to make it worse it made me break out even more than I usually do. I've used it for 4 weeks now. Even though I've tried sticking with it, I can NOT do so anymore. I am so mad about what this product has done to my face that I'm considering to throw it all away. I bought the Proactiv Deluxe package last night & used it & I can say that after one use, it's had a much better effect on my skin than Murad. Bottom line, don't get it.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Broke my skin out worse then at anytime in my life and it is expensive.

I started using the product and everything seemed ok for the first 2 weeks and then my face starting exploding in zits. They say it is a purging process but I kept using and my face never cleared up. I had to go to the doctor and get put on antibiotics to stop the breakouts caused from this. Dont waste your time or money.

Pros:

AT 1ST, soft texture,pimples seem to go away,redness goes down.

Cons:

After using this product for a week in a half my face broke out in horrible cystic acne. Lumps the size of marbles on my cheeks and much more...

So, its been about a month in a half since i used this product and i would like to say my face looks great,BUT lets get to my story im 17yrs old and have lived in New York my whole life. MY acne was always light i had maybe 3 to 4 pimples on my bad day and if it was really bad my right cheek would breakout bad (ONLY CAUSE I SLEEP ON THAT CHEEK ) and i saw a murad infomerical and so i decided to order it NOT READING ANY REVIEWS just over judgement over a stupid tv add. let me just tell anyone who has SENSTIVE FAR SKIN! DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THIS! After the 1st week BOTH MY CHEEKS and let me remind you i only ever really got acne on my right one both broke out in HORRIBLE CYSTIC ACNE I called the doctors and the stupid murad people and they said i had a allergic reaction and the "purging process" which by the way is a bunch of horse S%@t and so i stopped using it all together I STAYED OUT OF SCHOOL FOR A WHOLE WEEK cause my face hurt and was dry. i was so embarrased i wanted to drop out of high school and depression was unbearable!! PLEASE until i found a friend that used ALOE VERA GEL STRAIGHT FROM THE PLANT! and she told me that putting it on at night works great and i cant tell you how much my face has improved! MY OILS GONE and acne is gone! BOTTOM LINE if you have skin problems and need help ALOE VERA!!!!!! works amazing. I still cant believe what my face looked like almost 2 months ago! i took pics of my face and its 110% better to anyone out there that has FAIR LIGHT SKIN aka ( sensitive skin ) DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! and good luck to anyone who uses my ideas!
