Pros:

- It works for like what, a week?

Cons:

-Dries skin out
-Didn't cure acne
-Made it worse, for months

Alright, so yes I gave it a few months to fix my skin but all it did was make it worse. I'm just so unhappy with the whole system. The toner does nothing, the wash does nothing, the lotion doesn't hydrate. WAH. The only bonus in this kit is the spot treatment, but that is hardly anything.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Expensive
Gives you cystic acne
They auto bill you

My acne was very light but I wanted to clear it up so I tried Murad after seeing an infomercial. I should have known it wouldn't work because they kept reiterating that your skin has to get worse before it gets better. It stared to break out immediately and I thought it was bringing out all the acne and that it would clear up. It just made my acne worse and did not clear up even though I used it for almost 3 months. I now have several areas of cystic acne on my face (which I never even had when my acne was at its worst as a teenager). I am also getting acne on my forehead, chin, and jawline which I have never had before (it was always on my nose and cheeks). Nothing in my diet or lifestyle has changed and I am not taking any new or different medications. I quit using it about a month and a half ago and my skin is still jacked up from using this product.

Pros:

Uhhh, so far there are none.

Cons:

Burns to put on my face. Have tried at least 10 other acne products and was hoping this would be the last. I have only been using this product for about a week and it has made my acne much worse. Before i started using this i really barely had any acne, and now after just a week there is acne all over my face.

if you want to make your acne worse, this is the one to get. IT DOES NOT WORK!

Pros:

The smell is god!

Cons:

It dried my skin a lot, specially the area below my eyes. I am dissapointed!

It doesn't work. I tried proactiv first and then I decided to give Murad a chance. I am going back to proactiv, the renewing cleanser is the best!

Pros:

None

Cons:

I don't have too much to say because I used this for about 4 months and it didn't change my acne for better or for worse.

This product does nothing but what a basic bar of soap does after washing your face. I saw no improvements at all nor did it make my face worse. I just felt like I wasted my money cause the end result after four months was the same before using the product.

Pros:

Absolutely Nothing.

Cons:

Well just about everything. Smell is very medicinal and not at all nice. Extremely dry and tight skin.Flaking. Breakouts increased by 10000000000000%.

My face skin was dry every every day all the time and the pain was unbearable. Skin started flaking only a few days after use and even opening my mouth to speak was a chore because of how tight and dry my skin was. Please do yourself a favour and DO NOT buy this product. As for the purging process many people mention it doesnt last for 2 weeks, it lasts FOREVER and it WILL last forever. This thing ruined my skin!

Pros:

smelled good

Cons:

no visable acne relief, purging stage NEVER ends

I stuck with the product because of the promise that the purging would stop, however, it never did. It made me break out in places I had never had acne problems with before and would wake up every morning with new blemishes and white heads. The pimples were painful, which never happened to me before. I stuck with the product for over two months and never saw any improvements. I got a prescription and saw immediate improvement in my skin.

Pros:

IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL

Cons:

TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THE LITTLE BIT OF PRODUCT

THE 1ST DAY I USED IT I STARTED BREAKING OUT IN PLACES I NEVER HAD PIMPLES AND I ONLY NEEDED IT TO TAKE AWAY A FEW THAT I HAD ON MY CHIN AND CHEEKS, BUT NOW I NEED TO GET SOME OTHER PRODUCT TO HELP ME RIGHT AWAY.
