Pros:

Didnt dry my skin out, great moisturizer, smell ok

Cons:

Long process of washing, toning, treatment gel, spot treatment, and moisturizing, but worth it

I have been using Murad and I dont know why it hasnt worked for most people because it has been working for me. I only apply the treatment gel to the problems areas, if you smear it all over your face then i assume it will do some damage like dryness/redness, etc., but i only apply to problem areas and it has kept it in control, even made the scars on the bottom of the side of my face appear lighter. I have used proactiv and that stuff is like crack cocaine u have to keep using it or else your face will be a disaster, even when i missed a washing (due to nights where i am jus wayyy too tired to wash my face) my face would break out bad from Proactiv. But anyways bottom line is...if you use Murad correctly and according to your own facial needs then it should work for you.

Pros:

clears skin in weeks.

Cons:

treatment gel dries out skin.

it has helped like nothing else i think the people get bad results because they use the acne treatment gel too much. i use it only once every other night and the cleanser and lotion twice a day every day and the regimen works perfect. its been 2 months and i have no whiteheads or blackheads or nothing. this really has worked miracles on my skin. i tried proactiv and that didnt work for me.

Pros:

has massively controled my skin and 3 weeks on it im almost completely clear except for small whiteheads on my forehead but their going away. the only thing that has worked for me so far. i didnt go through purging stage.

Cons:

using the acne treatment gel once a night still dried my skin out so i only use it every other night.

IF YOU WANT CLEAR SKIN WITH MURAD READ MY REVIEW! started using murad 3 weeks ago and prayed that this would work for me because ive tried so many diffrent products and none of them worked to my standards. im 15 years old and i dont care what i have to pay to get clear skin , i just wanted clear skin because i was tired of hearing "oh you should use proactiv it works or other acne products" when in fact i had been using it and it was not working. i tried acne free didnt work, neither did model acne cream, juliets all natural face scrub, clean n clear, neutrogena, carleys clean and smooth. over a period of a year. murad i started using it 2x a day and the acne gel only once a day i was seeing clearer skin in 3 days and on the 6th day 4 new big pimples showed up. so i started using the acne gel only once every other night and the cleanser and lotion twice a day every day. wala i havent had this good skin in a long time. i think people get bad results because they overuse the acne gel.

Pros:

works for me+ not irritating

Cons:

$$$expensive$$$

This is the first product I have used where I have been consistantly clear. I can leave the house without make up now YAY. I tried proactiv which was very irritating to me and only made my skin marginally better. Murad has a more soothing cooling sensation to it. I think the main reason people are having problems with it is b/c they haven't gotten the right products for thier skin type. I was told that the kit tends to be very irritating, and that I only need the cleanser and the toner(which was cheaper so I was happy)). Murad is expensive but I justify the price by the fact that it has better ingredients than proactive (such as vitamin E, grape seed extract(antioxidants) and salycilic acid which prevent wrinkles).
