Pros:

Face felt fresh after using it.

Cons:

"purging"

I used it for about a month and a half, once a day as it really dried my face. I gave it a chance to work but the "purging" process didn't seem to stop until I just decided to stop using the entire line for acne prone skin. I got more pimples from using it (like it multipled 5x) with some scars. It's horrrible. I haven't reviewed things I bought before but this one I felt I had to. Definitely not worth the effort and money.

Pros:

CAN clear skin ( although that doesn't necessarily mean it will for you )

moisturizer leaves skin feeling nice and soft!

Cons:

I hate how the bottles are made, the stuff just oozes out

CANNOT clear skin ( it depends on the person i guess)

so i have been using this product for about 2 months, i would use it morning and night. my acne is probably considered to be moderate. This product really didn't help me, but i didnt have an awful experience with it like some people on this site have. It made me a little bit more red, but it did not sting and it did not make my face worse. The problem is it didn't really make my face any better, in the places where i didnt have acne or where i would get acne every once in a while i stopped getting pimples, but in the problem areas there was no change. so i would only recommend this product if you have light acne ( although im sure there is something cheaper you can buy to treat light acne).

Pros:

Refreshing tingly feeling with the cleanser and toner, good size bottles. Less irritation, helps with red skin. It feels great on my skin!

Cons:

Hate the exfoliating gel. It makes my face red and irritated. Takes a while to put on. For some it takes longer than 4 weeks to see results fast.

I've struggled with acne since I turned 14, i'm 19 now. My mom bought be murad, because my dad got it for me when i was 16, it cleared up my skin super fast. Then I ran out of it and we couldn't afford for another at the time. I realized they change the routine, it used to be the cleanser, toner, and the lotion. Now its the cleanser, the exfoliating gel, and the lotion. When I started using it, the gel made my face red, like sunburn and the lotion was to watery for me. So what I do now, is I ordered the toner, got that. Instead of using the lotion, I bought vitamin E oil. The Vitamin E oil is excellent at helping acne marks. So my routine in the morning is: I wash my face with the cleanser, tone, and use this lotion, thats called Alba. It has natural algae in it, and its really really refreshing on the skin. It doesn't clog pores. At Night: I wash my face with the cleanser, but instead of using my hands, I use this little face buffer I found at Salley's. It's gentle enough for everyday use. Then I tone, after that I use the vitamin E oil. I use very little and gently massage it into my skin. Only when the acne marks are. Since I started using vitamin e oil, my skin is a lot, a lot better than it ever has been before. My skin never looked better. I feel confident enough to walk through malls with my head held high. Good Luck everyone :) Oh btw for those of you sceptical about the vitamin E oil, look at the reviews on this website.

Pros:

nice smell, nice consistancy

Cons:

i have so many more tiny zits in places i never used to break out in. Also, my face is kind of itchy. However, it has only been 3 day since i stated Murad. I hope this works! I am concerned that this is making my skin worst though.

I'll give it another week and i hope that the so called "purging" process ends. I am skeptical about his product right now. However, ill keep my make up close for time being. My skin is the worst is has ever been since i started using Murad. Perhaps it is purging all the years of abuse and nasty products i have been using. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Pros:

smells better then most products and it makes your face feel clean

Cons:

everything did not work at all made my face so bad that i started to get these massive bumps around my checks and chin. they would hurt so bad that i would call my doctor. this never happened to me to this extent until i started to use this product.

I always had acne i used proactive for a long time and it worked wonders for me since nothing else worked. after using proactive for two years i stopped using it and my face looked great well after i had my daughter my face started to break out again like it would when i was 16 so i decided to try murad since the girl at the beauty place i bought it talked me into it she said it was better then proactive. well it made my skin worse i swear it left marks and and made my skin uneven. for someone who already has oily skin it made it shine and left this after feel that i just put grease on my face. i went back to using proactive and over night my face started to clear up so stick with proactive

Pros:

Great cleanser; easy-to-use

Cons:

Spot treatment does not work.

I have been under a dermatologist's care for the past 2 years. In September I had a horrible breakout. My derm tried epiduo, retin-a micro, duac, clindamycin injection, minocin, and doryx---nothing worked. I gave up and decided to use Murad products--in less than 2 weeks my skin became clearer. Hopefully by week 4 my acne will be under control and then I can work on hyperpigmentation.

Pros:

The wash feels good to the skin, like it's working.... BUT ITS NOT

Cons:

Made me break out like i have never in my life before experienced. I am still feeling the affects of it and looking to use Carley's clear and smooth to see if it can fix the DAMAGE MURAD has done to my face.

Before purchasing Murad my face wasn't in need of any drastic change i had a few head bumps that i wanted to take care of and in general a face wash i can use to maintain my face. I used Murad for 7 months and didn't improve not even a lil my face broke out in huge pimples and NEVER BEFORE had this happened to me. I wish i read these reviews before trying Murad so anyone reading this consider yourself warned.... Please dont use this product!
