Pros:

Used the products for four weeks. They do work. Suspect that most who didn't like the products were not faithfully using them. My acne breakouts are down at least 90%. Am very happy with these products.

Cons:

Too expensive

Good starting point but salacydic acid products are available anywhere and are less expensive. I just ordered some from [link removed]. I hope it works as well as Murad did.

Pros:

it smells good

Cons:

Redness, irritated skin, never cleared up my face. GIVES YOU CYST Acne (the worst kind) I now have more acne than I initially started with.

Do not get this product... again a failure like proactive... Do not waist your money on it. Overall, just a marketing scheme to make money for someone....DOES NOT WORK

Pros:

It's amazing! I would recommend this product to anyone and everyone. I have used several products before nothing seemed to work as well as Murad. I love it, and have been using this product for 2 years now!

Cons:

The acne gel stings a little bit, but that's how you know it's really working! I use it once, at night.

Just try it.

Pros:

works well, lots of product. feels great on skin and greatly improves the non-acne sections.

Cons:

not 100%; combine with moisturizer that has more sal acid than murad moisturizer for better clearing

Was on combo minocycline twice daily, birth control, differin with mild cleanser. Went off all prescription drugs because cost and stomach probs from antibiotics. Murad cleanser and toner plus hope in a bottle by philosophy as moisturizer (extra sal. acid) works as well as all the drugs did. Have had cysts for 12 yrs and mostly clear now. Still breaking out monthly and if wear makeup, but Murad is the best I've found. The cleanser is great and works better if left on for a minute or so. The spot treatment with low sulfur is terrific if I feel a pimple coming on. It cools the spot so it's less painful and keeps it from being as bad. Also, the spot treatment is greeny-clear in color and serves as a concealer. If I remember to use it my skin is much better. Previously used dry-lo high concentration sulfur treatment; this works as well without obvious dots on my face.

Pros:

convincing commercial

Cons:

Dries out your skin and give you random pimples.

I used this product for a few months, I mostly have acne scars prom popping one or two pimples but overtime the marks add up. I tried murad and it makes your skin bright but you still get them breakouts. I would use it at night and wake up with big pimples and it also dries out your skin.

Pros:

Money back guarantee (except for the shipping!)

Cons:

Doesn't do a damn thing.

A few years ago I'd been using a prescription benzoyl peroxide product (Duac) that had worked very well for a long time but had recently lost some of its effectiveness (either that or my skin had just changed and gotten worse). Unfortunately this coincided with me being up late one night and catching a Murad infomercial. I am seriously a sucker for infomercials so I ordered the entire system and within a week after I began using it my acne got REALLY bad. I don't think that something in the Murad caused my skin to break out; it was mostly the fact that I'd switched from the Duac, which was moderately effective, to something that was not effective at all, despite all of its slick advertising and packaging. And the worst part was I believed them when they said it would get worse and then get better and kept using it for way too long which caused lasting damage in the form of red marks and scars. Don't waste your money! Btw, the positive reviews seem like they're written by Mu

Pros:

My face feels clean and is much clearer.

Cons:

Skin is too dry after using it. I have to use additional lotion.

I had a spotless complection until I was about 20. I tried the regular stuff you buy from the drug store, went to a dermatologist (which made me a wreck) and then decided to try Murad. It worked wonders. I think they changed the scent. It used to smell funny, but now it doesn't. I stopped using it when I was pregnant because my face stayed clear both times. I had to start again afterward though. In between I tried Proavtive, cause uit was more affordable. It did nothing for me. I started Murad again and sure enough, it worked and continues to work. I have been using it for at least 5 years now.
