Pros:

it smells nice, cleared up my acne, works on body acne

Cons:

if you use the skin perfecting lotion, it makes acne worse.

Of course my skin had purged after a few weeks of using but every once in a while i would forget to use the lotion and it worked so much better. I had pretty bad back acne, as well, it Murad helped that clear up a lot. =] if it dries out your skin, find your own moisturizer, because Murad's makes you break out terribly.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Made skin very sensitive, dry, irritated, and MADE ACNE WORSE than before use

This product was terrible. I never had sensitive skin but after using Murad it was so dry it was flaking it and my face hurt. The breakouts were worse than before I originally started using the product. I am trying to get my face to recover from it but I had to calm all the irritation down first because everything I used on my face would hurt it. I used Aveeno Ultra calming cleanser and night lotion and it helped make it less sensitive. Don't try Murad it's a waste of money and makes your skin worse than it was before using it. Also makes your skin look dull and lifeless. If you've used it and want the glow to come back to your face try using Aloe vera, it helped get my faces natural glow back I'm using that currently and will start spot treating, these regimens just seem to make the skin worse.

Pros:

There aren't any!!!!!

Cons:

This horrible product SEVERELY damaged my skin after promising results. THe gel burned my skin and left behind tons of scars. A customer service agent said that 4 weeks of purging is normal, not!!!

DO NOT TRY THIS PRODUCT, IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY!!!!

Pros:

Left a clean feeling..

Cons:

Made my acne 10x worse!

I got this product because the girl at Sephora said it would help clear my moderate acne and that it was extremely gentle. Boy, was she wrong!! My face has never been this bad. I usually only have 1 or 2 noticeable pimples, plus a few smaller ones on my forehead. At this time, I have 5 huge ones in places I NEVER break out... plus my whole face is covered in small bumps, almost like a rash. Luckily, Sephora is letting me return this crap and get my money back! Don't use this product, you'll regret it!! I wish I read these reviews before buying it!

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:

Didn't irritate or dry my skin

Cons:

Nothing so far, expensive

This is the only thing that has ever worked for my skin! I'm really surprised. My boyfriend has even started complimenting my skin... and that's a great feeling! Proactive, Clearasil... those did nothing but irritate and make my acne worse. I'm pretty happy with Murad... unlike a lot of the people on here. I like it. It must work for some people and not others?

Pros:

It came with a beautiful set and it makes you believe it works. The Hydrate set was wonderful.

Cons:

The whole product sucked. The only thing that was good was the hydrate set

It brought out achne and I thought itw as going to clear up. But it never worked and I had to use neutrogena oil free achne wash instead. Which helped clear it up.

Pros:

Face felt clean after using the face wash

Cons:

Product did not work. Exfoliating treatment gel smelled bad and was hard to dispense. Kit is costly

I used proactiv solutions for 2 years and saw results from the product until my skin became immune to it. I decided to try Murad's Ance Complex and have not seen any results. The spot sulfur treatment causes your makeup to clump on your skin.I am fixing to send the kit, toner and post ance lightning gel back. Don't waste your money on this.
