Pros:

smells better then most products and it makes your face feel clean

Cons:

everything did not work at all made my face so bad that i started to get these massive bumps around my checks and chin. they would hurt so bad that i would call my doctor. this never happened to me to this extent until i started to use this product.

I always had acne i used proactive for a long time and it worked wonders for me since nothing else worked. after using proactive for two years i stopped using it and my face looked great well after i had my daughter my face started to break out again like it would when i was 16 so i decided to try murad since the girl at the beauty place i bought it talked me into it she said it was better then proactive. well it made my skin worse i swear it left marks and and made my skin uneven. for someone who already has oily skin it made it shine and left this after feel that i just put grease on my face. i went back to using proactive and over night my face started to clear up so stick with proactive

Pros:

The wash feels good to the skin, like it's working.... BUT ITS NOT

Cons:

Made me break out like i have never in my life before experienced. I am still feeling the affects of it and looking to use Carley's clear and smooth to see if it can fix the DAMAGE MURAD has done to my face.

Before purchasing Murad my face wasn't in need of any drastic change i had a few head bumps that i wanted to take care of and in general a face wash i can use to maintain my face. I used Murad for 7 months and didn't improve not even a lil my face broke out in huge pimples and NEVER BEFORE had this happened to me. I wish i read these reviews before trying Murad so anyone reading this consider yourself warned.... Please dont use this product!

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Expensive, doesn't work at all.

In 4 months of use, this product destroyed my skin. Instead of clearer skin, breakouts spread to my cheeks and forehead, my zits were larger, redder, and more painful, and I was spending $70 a month for this torture. It may work for some people, but are you willing to risk worse acne for the small chance it will work for you?

Pros:

None

Cons:

Everything

Murad cleared absolutely NONE of my pimples and I broke out even more! Salicylic acid has never worked for me, but I never thought it'd ever make things worse. And I'd believe the whole purging process explanation had Murad actually cleared up some of my old acne while "purging" the rest of my face by bringing up new acne. But it didn't get rid of anything. Benzoyl peroxide is the only over-the-counter stuff that has ever worked for me.

Pros:

Mosturizer is oil free, no greasy feel
acne spot gel with hydroquinone is effective

Cons:

expensive
skin is hardly clear

I used it for a year or more (yes! a year), wanted to try it out to see if my skin will improve. There was no difference, and i was consistent. I also bought the acne kit , still no improvement. It was just a waste of money. i'm so angry that i was patient for this long.

Pros:

smells good
makes skin feel refreshed

Cons:

increased acne
dryness
price

I've never really had severe acne but i started using this product and within a few days my acne had become severely worse. they claim that their is a purging period of one month, but after 3 months of using it acne was still worse. switched to a different product and it cleared up within a week. This product does not work.
