Pros:

The moisturiser is cooling and feels nice on your skin.

Cons:

DOES NOT WORK! If you have cystic acne no wash or cream will help (unfortunately!) Believe me......i tried them all. PLEASE READ THIS!!!!

I know how u feel...... I suffered from cystic acne for over 10 years and had tried everything under the sun. I started with your basic clearasil washes and scrubs when i was in my early teens then went to the doctor and spent years going from topical creams and lotions to antibiotics and various contraceptive pills. My acne would clear up but then return just as it was before. I had facials, laser treatments, food allergy tests (and then tried cutting out dairy and gluten for several months), hormone tests, drank litres and litres of water, took vitamins........NOTHING worked. Nothing ever cleared it up completely or permanently. If you have CYSTIC acne, no cream willl clear it. NO face wash. They just over stimulate ur skin with all the acids and chemicals making it worse. The only thing that has worked is Accutane. Dont be scared of all the bullsh*t side effects they warn u about.....IT WORKS!!! And it changes ur skin for life! Ask any good dermatologist. My skin is amazing now!

Pros:

none

Cons:

I cleared up for about 4 days then broke out worse than i have ever done before. After about 3 weeks i had to quit because my skin was the worst it has been in my life.

Stay far away from this product. It is just another infomercial scam. They promise you clear, beautiful skin and give you the exact opposite. I would never have used this stuff if i knew what it was going to do to me. I was extremely disapointed and am still recovering. Thank god its mostly gone now.

Pros:

Nice look

Cons:

Smells horrible & most importantly doesn't work

This product really stinks!!! About 3 weeks ago I started noticing my acne was getting a little bit worse than it normally does, I had seen Murads advertisment on T.V. & it sounded convincing to me, so I thought why not. The first week it cleared my acne only a little bit, the second week I noticed I had acne on places of my face that I had never had before ever, I thought it was strange, but thought that maybe it might be from something else. The third week I noticed it was just getting worse & worse. My chin & forehead are completely covered in acne, I used to have mild acne & this crap has given me acne in places I've never had it...not just a little either. I would not recommend this to anyone, its a load of bull.

Pros:

Pretty packaging... instantly drawn to it while I was shopping at Sephora

Cons:

This product sucks.

The packing is crap... nothing but a marketing scam. Murad did not make my skin any better. If anything, it made it much much worse. My skin broke out in monsterous zits on my cheeks and chin. Horrible product and a waste of money

Pros:

before you think it's working but then like later the "treatment #2" it'll stink and it wouldn't work.

Cons:

breaks you out more even though they call it "purging" and they said that the "purging" only last for the first week but then mine lasted forever..

i hate murad, it doesn't work.

Pros:

does not dry up face. reduced DEEP zits.

Cons:

it gives me more white heads.

i've tried proactiv for 3-4 months and it was drying my face so i switched to murad acne complex. i did not experience the "purging" process. my face became better in the first few week and then it was all down hill from there. i've now used murad for 4 months and never lived a day without a white head(well i guess it's better to get white heads than deep zits). anyhow, i like the spot treatment, it works to some degree. i'm going to cancel my membership and go see a doctor cause i'm getting a lot more acne recently. murad does not work very well.
