Pros:

Nothing. At first it made my skin feel all tingly then dry but thought it was part of the process..guess I was wrong.

Cons:

Dries out my skin and makes it so oily by the end of the day.
Basically everything.

It ruined my summer, making me feel ugly for two months. The acne wouldn't go away for a long while even when I stopped using it. Fvck you, Murad.

Pros:

there was nothing good about murad, it makes you feel like your doing something good for yourself, and its not, DO NOT BUY IT.

Cons:

for the first few weeks, my face broke out with little tiny zits where ive NEVER had acne before. it says on the paper they give u , that this is natural, and it take time to "adjust to ur skin", and it never went away.

I quit using it, and the little zits have gone now. The redness that was caused is totally gone. this is about 5 months after using that. i have to say benzoyl peroxide does work, and it did clear my skin very good. im currently using NUSKIN. it really hydrates your skin and makes you feel super good after you use it.

Cons:

it is extremely irritating

even though i had used proactiv for 3 years, this stuff burnt me! it literally felt like a chemical burn! i thought my skin was tough, but appearantly not! it even made my exsisting acne turn into bright red scars. and i have not used it in over a month.

Pros:

The mask is pretty good.

Cons:

Not strong enough, very expensive.

My face broke out pretty bad on this stuff. I really don't buy this "purging" business. I would not advise anyone buying this system. You can buy AcneFree Severe at Walmart and it works much better. I am switching back to that. I bought the product with some hope it would work for me. I have never had a 'miracle' product like some. Oh well, Murad is definately not it!

Pros:

At first I liked the idea that this product was not tested on animals and that it was an alternative to proactive.

Cons:

The exfoliating gel excessively burns and the feeling lasts longer than a few minutes.

This product did not reduce any of my acne. Instead it gave me a red, irritated complexion and increased the amount of whiteheads/ blackheads on my skin.

Pros:

The packaging it arrived in.

Cons:

Everything else.

It made me way worse. Cystic acne began to pop up all over my face. I'm faired skinned so it scar even though I didn't pop my pimples. They say it gets worse before getting better (Plurging Process), it's a scam.

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.

Pros:

i don't see good thing come from Murad except that it didn't make my face red and super itchy like Proactive and Clearasil.

Cons:

it is a bit itchy when i use the exfoliating acne treatment gel...so i don't use it too often.i used the soap and the rest of it. But i saw nothing but more acne that i usually never get "white tiny blackhead aroung my mouth" it sucks

i used this since the end of november. And i see no difference. It only make it worst than before. I will return this as soon as i have time.Man... when can i find product that will work for me...
