Pros:

I used Proactiv for a long time and it just wasn't a miracle like most were saying so I got restless and used Murad due to it's natural philosophies. I've been using it for a while and it's more gentle and calming.

Cons:

I'm not CLEAR. I understood that my skin would PURGE before it got better. After a month and a half I called them and asked how long I should expect this. They said it could last up to 2 months. I just feel there's something better.

It was better than Proactiv but, unfortunately, not a Godsend.

Pros:

Good smell to the cleanser and enjoy the lotion. You'd almost think it'd work.

Cons:

Makes acne worse! "purging" process starts and doesn't stop.

Please don't use buy the product. It will irritate the skin and cause acne problems to grow. I didn't get small red bumps, but instead large inflated red pimples where I normally don't break out. Sometimes I'd even get puss, which hardly ever happens to me, and blackheads look more pronounced. Warning: Redness and scarring left afterwards.

Ehhhhhh
The first night that I used the product, I woke up scratching my face terribly. I literally had to wash it off in the middle of the night because it irritated my skin too much. The next morning, I was going to return the product but I thought that my face looked a little smoother, so I tried it again. I didn't have any itching during the day. I tried the product again that night and my face itched! I continued to use the product because I didn't have symptoms in the daytime, only at night. My skin looked more smooth but I still would get pimples! What the heck?!?! I'm going to try proactive now.

): not good.

Cons:

Expensive
Drying
Smells HORRIBLE

I tried this a long time ago having high hopes. I felt like it was clearing my skin, then I broke out more and it made my skin dry and cracked. The products smell horrible. The step 2 in the kit is the worst! It makes my skin feel glossy and weird.

Wow, I'm very surprised at the bad reviews!
My daughter has been using this skin care line for almost 2 months, and it has help clear up her acne a huge amount. I just ordered her another complete set. We have tried everything from Mary Kay and proactive to cheap over the counter washes, moisturizers, and treatments. This is the first product to actually help reign in her acne. She loves it n raves to me about how soft her skin feels n how much better it looks now. She didn't like to wear makeup before because she said it brings out her acne with the bumps, but now she is wearing it a little more. She's very active in dance so she doesn't wear it all the time. I so glad to finally find a product that really helps her skin so she can show her real beauty.

Do not use!!
Do not use. I was using johnson & johnson acne face wash with benzoyl peroxide before Murad which was much better. Thought would give Murad a try but made my sking worse with more breakouts and rashes than ever. Used it for a month and then I gave up. The situation went so bad that I had to consult a dermatologist and get antibiotics. Would recommend to use other products which are much better and cheaper!.

Cons:

•oily
•I break out more

I used this product for a few months and it does not work. It leaves my t-zone very oily and my skin breaks out a lot. Leaves my skin also very irritated and red. This product was not worth my $60. I go to the dermatologist instead it's way better than spending on useless products like this
