Pros:

Made my actual skin texture very smooth and even shrank my pores.

Cons:

SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS! This product is way too freakin expensive, it took forever to clear up any pimples I had, it made me get HUGE cystic pimples that scarred my skin, and it just plain didn't work after using it for 4 months. Purge process is a lie!

The bottom line is that the Dr. Murad acne system is HORRIBLE. Do not buy this unless you think you are a part of the 1% of people this works for. I still can't get over the price of this stuff and how little the actual treatment container is. Geez. Just don't do it people. Don't!

Pros:

Family members noted that my face is clearer...

Cons:

The cost.

It all really depends on the person. It worked for me, but it wasn't 100% clear. I still had a few things pop in here and there and the irony of it all was that when I actually had to go out somewhere, my face wouldn't be as clear as it would be earlier that week. And it happens everytime I have an event to go to. I would recommend this, but I'd have to say that you be cautious. 'Cause it might work for some. I started using the during fall of 07' up til spring of this year. And til this day, my face isn't exactly cleared, but it doesn't give me bad breakouts.

Pros:

Didn't dry out my skin
Product went far and lasted long

Cons:

Made acne worse! Four months later and the damage is still visible on my face...

I had heard that Murad was superiour to Proactive (which I am now trying), so I gave it a try. I got the usual "just-began-using-the-product" breakout, which didn't worry me much. Until a month later when it hadn't gone away, and actually began to get worse and more serious. My normal acne was moderate, but not scaring and painful. After a month of Murad, I had less bumps overall, but they were HUGE and deep and painful and scared me. I stopped using it and just used a simple cleanser, astringent and tea tree oil moisturizer for TWO MONTHS to get the pain to go away and to get back to my "regular" acne. Be warned, you actually need to HEAL after using this product it is SO damaging to your skin!

Pros:

None

Cons:

Everything

Murad cleared absolutely NONE of my pimples and I broke out even more! Salicylic acid has never worked for me, but I never thought it'd ever make things worse. And I'd believe the whole purging process explanation had Murad actually cleared up some of my old acne while "purging" the rest of my face by bringing up new acne. But it didn't get rid of anything. Benzoyl peroxide is the only over-the-counter stuff that has ever worked for me.
