Pros:

Helped clear my skin for the first week or so.

Cons:

After first week, acne got worse.Spot treatment stings like crazy, and the lotion makes my face oily.

I wouldn't recommend this product, it did not help my skin , now I have somewhat more acne to worry about. Plus, it's a bit expensive.

Pros:

its cheaper as it comes in a kit.

Cons:

purging...my skin started purging really bad from the 2nd day . i waited 28 days because they say that it makes the skin worse before getting better. i waited 6 weeks and my skin just got worser than ever.

this product does not work at all. just make skin worser and full of acne and new scars. its was a waste of time and money for me. but if u believe it works, u can try out. didnt work for me. so i wouldnt recommend to anyone.

Pros:

cleared some acne temporarily

Cons:

left my face with bad cystic acne after i stopped using it.

i've had acne for probably at least 7 years or so. it started to clear up a lot once i was about 18 or so (i was only using clearasil products at that time). a few months back i decided to give murad a try, and it was a huge mistake for me. it seemed to work decently at first..my forehead was totally clear. but i started getting really bad breakouts on my cheeks. a lot of bad cystic type acne that i've never really had before. i also used this on my chest and back. my back is now broken out more than it ever has been. this product works for some people, but i've read a lot of reviews that ended in bad cystic acne because of this.

Pros:

Repairs some of the unaffected skin areas they look a little fresher than the affected skin.

Cons:

Makes your skin even oilier. Makes you break out a lot. The size of zits are even bigger. Can also cause redness. It can also burn as well.

Its not a very good product. Its more time consuming than most treatments and it doesn't even pay off in the end. Its made my skin oilier and more sensitive. Even though it states you will break out n the first few eeks it gets even worse as you go on. I have been using this product for 2 months now and it just doesn't work at all. My skin looks as bad if not worse from when I first started using it. Its also a little pricey.

Pros:

nothing

Cons:

Terrible

Wow i have never been so disappointed in a product than this one. I bought the cleanser and its been 1 week that i've been using it, im breaking out badly and with the cystic type of Acne. Its expensive and a waste of money. I have found another product that works wonderful for my skin. Its called ZENMED, for those looking for a new product, try this. My skin is doing great with it. Your skin does not undergo this 'purging process' like Murad says as an excuse for the breakouts that occur while using their product, and i researched more regarding this 'purging process' and it should not be as bad as what i went through while using their product. this product sucks

Pros:

only if you like wasting money

Cons:

expensive. DOESN'T WORK. i used this for almost 6 months and nothing got better. in fact it got worse. this is a scam scam scam. i can't say it enough. I have literally spent 400 hundred dollars on Murad products and I am so disappointed.

do not buy if you have moderate acne. this is an incredibly unhelpful, frustrating product. I have been dealing with acne for so long and I thought this would cure it. i have no self confidence because this product not only failed but made my face worse! if you like depression and an empty bank account, i recommend this for you!
