Pros:

Nice glow
Deep cleaning

Cons:

Can make acne worse
Burrns and itches sometimes

I used to have pretty bad cystic acne, bad enough to tturn heads and people would ask what was wrong with me. I saw murad on tv and gave it a try and it worked! Used it for about four years and loved it. Couldn't afford it anymore so I stoped using it for 8 months until I started to break out just recently. This time it only worked for the first week then stoped! I seriously think they changed the formula...murad used to put a piece of paper in the box that would state each product name and the ingritients in it. Well they don't do it anymore so somethings up! I still like the acne complex face wash and lotion but that it.

Pros:

Blemish cream

Cons:

Burns
Skin very dry
Skin peeling
Itchy burning sensation

Did clear up acne in 3 days. Mine was not severe. On the second day got huge rash on lower face and neck because of the kit. Returned it to sephora, but still left with horrible rash that dried up my face and it seems like i am beginning to break out again. :(

Pros:

Makes skin feel tingly and clean. Helps my skin get a nice healthy glow.

Cons:

When I would first use it my skin got a nice healthy glow, but after a while it made my skin more oily. (you could feel the oils when you touched it, and my face would look real greasy) Acne got worse and didn't clear up. Whenever I used it my acne would become more obvious.

Don't buy this if you have oily skin. It makes it worse. And as for clearing up the acne, it did nothing for me.

Pros:

Doesn't bleach my clothes, towels, or sheets.
Pore size reduced. Only thing that has worked for me.

Cons:

Price

I recommend at least trying it for a few weeks. I bought the trial kit at Sephora. If your face gets too dry then cut back on the gel.

Pros:

Tingled. Kind of cleared my face.

Cons:

Acne came back. Painful. Drying. Too expensive.

I used this product for the four weeks it suggested it would take to clear my face. Well, it kind of cleared my face, but it left it dry, red, and in pain. The acne wasn't really going away so I returned it when they sent me the larger samples. BOTTOM LINE: This product is TOO expensive for how poorly it performed.

Pros:

packaging. i guess.

Cons:

like the other reviews stated, i had fairly light acne before i started this regime. now i actually have huge bumps all over my forehead! (i never got pimples on my forehead before), cheeks, and even chin. my acne is the worse its been ever... (and i've tried ALOT of acne regimes) and its also the reddest its been (my skin is fairly sensitive as well).

I've been using this product for almost 2 months now, and have seen no progress. this system actually made my skin worse and my acne wasn't even that bad to begin with. dont buy this!

Pros:

Makes skin soft and glowy.

Cons:

More breakouts than before. The only spots where your skin is soft and glowy is where you don't have a whitehead or a pimple- which isn't much.

When I first started using this product, I had very light acne. As soon as I started it, my skin got very sensitive and I broke out more than I had ever before. It was horrible. I was getting more breakouts and lots of whiteheads. I even got a couple of cystic pimples, which I had never experienced before. Before I knew it, I had full-blown acne. I read that acne gets worse before it gets better- and OHMAN, does it get worse. I went through with the whole packet, hoping that when I finished the whole thing the acne would go away. It's been three months and my acne never went away. It only got worse. My face is very irritated and it hurts when I touch it. I have since stopped using the product and will see if I can get any medical attention. I can honestly say that Murad is by far the worst acne product out there. I don't recommend it.
