Pros:

During the First 1-2 weeks my skin was clearing up amazingly and i was very hopeful for the end result, I like the mosturizer and the feel of refreshment on your skin.

Cons:

Im currently on week 3-4, Sunday will be the end of my 30 days. I have noticed an INCREASE of acne from when i started. I actually only had a few spots before and now my forehead is a mess!

I do NOT recommend this product to those with few pimple because it will start to clear up skin and the the acne will resurface and begin to multiple. Iv'e tried every medication out there and this was my last hope, and it made the acne worse than before. You figure they know how to treat this stuff nowadays. If the first weeks result kept the same i'd be more happy then with what my current results are. It seems to work great even after the first 4 days, but then just like every other medication it quickly begins to irratate skin and cause unexpected and terrible breakouts.

Pros:

Feels fresh afterward

Cons:

New acne

I've been using the product for a month: Week 1: Wow! my skin is consistently clearing up! Week 2: Occasional unexplainable zits. Side effects perhaps? Week 3-4: Uncontrollable acne all over. I have been using the product twice a day. I love the feel of it - not drying, fresh, lotion is a must. I liked the combination of the spot treatment and the Salicylic Acid gel. However, after 2 weeks it's all back and more! I've heard of developing tolerance for any acne medication you use, but in 1 week?!! I am going to a dermatologist next. I don't recommend the product, because of lack of its consistence. Also, keep in mind that purchasing a 30 day kit, you will be charged full price every 30 days thereafter.

Pros:

I really like the Moisturizer and the AHA Exfoliating.

Cons:

I've gotten like small spots on my chin which I never had before!

I've been using Acne Complex Kit plus other acne stuff from Murad like Clarifying mask the AHA exfoliating for almost 4 months now and honestly I expected more! It feels like nothing much has happend and the spots I have on my chin and even around the mouth I have never had that before. I'll try a couple of more weeks and if I dont see any progress then bye bye Murad "/! But I think its worth a try thou :)

Pros:

the moisturizer is good.

Cons:

the exfoliating cream made my face really red and burned it.

i've been useing this product for two weeks now and it seems like my face is worst then befor they say that that is supposed to happen but since its been two weeks you would think it would start getting a little clearer i guess i will just wait the whole four weeks maybe it will be better.

Pros:

It was light on my skin :)

Cons:

Didn't make it worse NOR better.

I have oily sensitive skin that usually gets red and irritated after using over the conuter acne meds. Usually my skin doesn't react very well with acne products but this didn't irritate my skin. The bad thing is that it didn't improve my problem... I did love the moisturizer though.

Pros:

Smells nice, I think it has made my pores smaller..

Cons:

My skin wasn't that bad before, now over a month in, I have spots around my mouth and chin, which I never had, and little spots all over my forehead.

I don't know if now I am paying more attention to my skin so I notice the imperfections, or if Murad are trying to make my skin worse so I keep using the product to wait to work. I spent enough money on this to feel like I have to carry on. I only read good reviews before I bought, and I wish I would have read all of these before too! I think I will carry on until I run out of the products and see what it's looking like then..

Pros:

The face wash is great and left my skin feeling clean and the skin perfecting lotion seemed to work good, too. Cleared my face for about a month.

Cons:

After a month my breakouts came back with a vengeance! Its kinda pricey since it doesn't work that great. And the treatment gel smells like rotten eggs. Seriously.

I'm sure it works for some people with light acne, but it definetly didn't work for me. After about a month, I broke out worse than ever! I don't reccomend this product.

Pros:

It cleared up my acne immediately

Cons:

Day three came and my skin is uneven, red, and irritated. I think I'm going to find something else after reading these reviews.

I guess I'll have to see what happens to my skin after I discontinue use.

Pros:

did clear it up somewhat, but again for the price should have been worked better. I only bought the wash and the spot treatment.

Cons:

Drys skin out, however a light moisturizer fixes it. Scarring still bad. redness stays.

Too pricey for not being that effective.
