Pros:

It makes your face feel very smooth. It eventually starts to reduce your acne scarring. Easy to use!

Cons:

Too expensive
Purge was a bad one
Too small

Be ready for the purging, but it will get better and I recommend it to anyone with very bad acne, not normal skin.

Pros:

None of it smells too strong. The sulfur spot treatment works well.

Cons:

Not enough lather in the cleanser, the salicylic acid gel doesn't work well at all. The moisturizer made me itch.

Not worth the money.

Pros:

I like the moisturizer the most. It made my skin soft.

Cons:

It smells bad. It actually made me break out worse.

I tried this product for three months exactly as the directions say and I saw NO IMPROVEMENT. In fact, the first few weeks I used it, my breakouts were awful! I was so embarrassed because I've never had so many pimples in my life. And they just kept coming! What a waste of money.

Pros:

Makes your skin feeling soft.
Reduces Redness

Cons:

Small bottles
Purging period was/is horrible.
You must do it twice a day.

I would, but you have to be patient and take the time to use the product everyday. And if you have a purging period, be patient, it only lasts maybe up to 2-3 weeks.

Pros:

Smells clean and refreshing, goes on smoothly, improves skin texture, doesn't sting, easy to use

Cons:

Expensive, purging process

I have been using the 'sensitive skin acne kit' for about 1 week now and I see minimal improvement so far. I have suffered with acne since I was 16 years old, and now I am in my early 20s. I have tried everything from birth control pills for acne, clindoxyl, proactive, retin-a, benzamycin, and antibiotics to keep my skin under control. I saw murad on a t.v commercial and I thought I would give it a try. So far I do not see any improvement aside from more breakouts around my mouth area. I will admit that the rest of my face feels somewhat smoother. Hopefully I see improvement soon because acne has severely affected my attitude towards my everyday life. The redness/sensitivity serum keeps my skin from getting dry but I still have to use moisturizer with it. I will update in a week from now because the acne gel claims to reduce breakout by 45% within 2 weeks so I will keep it up until then. Hopefully it gets better!

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:

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.
