Pros:

The cleanser makes you feel really clean and the lotion goes on smooth.

Cons:

Breakouts, the exfoliating gel makes the skin feel kindof plastic andrritating.

I've been using this product for one month now and my face is at its worst. Before I was using ProActive and it was working just fine for me, but my sister got Murad to try. What a mistake. I have so many pimples now and it's so gross. It's so hard to cover it with makeup, because it looks so cakey and dry. My face hurt. I asked my sister and she checked w/ her estitician and she said that the breakout is normal and it will get better so continue to use it. I'll give it two more weeks. If I don't see an improvement, it's OUT. So for now it's a thumb down for me. :(

Pros:

Nothing at all!

Cons:

This product is not good for african-americans, not only did it break my face out even more with blackheads and whiteheads, it gave me facial hair! I hate this product! I had pretty smooth skin and just wanted something to prevent me from having acne

Down to the point, if you are an minority! DO not use, im being totally honest here! Its not going to prevent acne its just going to make them worse!

Pros:

None

Cons:

Everything is bad about this product. I can't even think of 1 good thing to say!

It's horrible. I don't know how they are able to sell this product and claim that it works better than Proactiv! My mom bought this for me before my freshman year of college...as if that isn't stressful enough, my face broke out like never before. I have always had just a few breakouts, nothing major...but this made my face breakout like never before. Please don't buy this product. I stopped using Murad and my face began to recover, but it has never been the same since I used Murad. It has always been in worse condition and broken out more. So please, DO NOT BUY IT!

Pros:

It looks pretty

Cons:

Totally dried out my skin, it did the total opposite of clearing my skin!

This product claims it's a better choice over Proactiv, but really, its the other way around. I used Murad because it said it was better than Proactiv. After the second week I saw that is dried out my skin and made my acne worse. So when I switch to Proactiv I was so pissed at how wrong the advertisment was w/ Murad. Proactiv cleared ALL of my acne in 1 month, and I haven't had 1 breakout ever since. So if u see "Murad over Proactiv" know this:That's total BS!!!

Cons:

Never stop breaking out!

I've used Murad for about a week now, and its gotten worsee! I've havent stoped breaking out and before I used this product my skin was in so much better conditions. I regret buying it.Total waste of money. I used Proactive a long time ago, and my skin was really good. I had no breakouts or anything. Im gonna go back to proactive because it has worked for me.

Pros:

I bought this kit from Sephora, so I was able to exchange it for something else in the store rather than sending it back to the manufacturer.

Cons:

Over-drying. The lotion smells bad.

This kit SUCKED! (For me anyhow) It dried my face out so bad-my lips even got chapped & the product was not even applied in that area. My breakouts just got WORSE!! The breakouts were painful & itchy (not to mention DEPRESSING) My face was severely irritated, it took almost 3 weeks for my face to finally calm down. Definitely not recommended for someone with dry skin. Some folks swear by this kit-but in my opinion, the people who have said this look like their skin is excessively dry-not a good look. I am very dissatisfied.

Pros:

Cleanser is nice

Cons:

Exfoliating lotion has made my skin break out worse than it EVER HAS BEFORE.

I bought the 30 day trial sized kit, and was only using the exfoliating lotion at night. I started to notice that every time I woke up, I had all these whiteheads. I have never had a problem with whiteheads, ever. Thinking my skin was just purging itself, I started to use the exfoliating lotion twice daily. My skin just got worse and worse, but I wanted to stick it out to see if it would get any better. I just decided to stop using this today, and my skin is broken out so bad I don't even want to leave my house. Every square inch of my face is freakin broken out. I'll keep using the cleanser, but the exfoliating lotion is the devil. I could slather mineral oil all over my face and STILL not break out this bad.
