Pros:

Face wash was ok

Cons:

Everything else. This was a terrible waste of money. The acne gel stuff made my super red and it burned really bad, like really bad.

Don't try this didn't help whatsoever, burned my face and is i paid $60 for this so its not worth it at all.

Pros:

nice moisturizer, pimples might have gone away a little quicker

Cons:

Irritated skin, red blemish left over after pimples, did not keep them from coming just helped them go away quicker, funny smelling

Ive been trying this treatment for about 6 months. My face steadily cleared up at first and was almost completely clear after about 5 weeks but then it suddenly broke out pretty badly and hasn't recovered since. Ive been using the treatment correctly but it just stopped working. Very disappointing seeing as i saw hope that this was finally it!

Pros:

The mask is pretty good - thats it

Cons:

Very expensive and many many more cons

The worst acne treatment product I have ever come across after proactiv. I'm thankful to Clear Pores else I would have continued suffering with my acne for several years.

Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Worst burn I've ever gotten from an acne product. And it doesn't peel away to reveal skin underneath, either. You skin stays red and dry and gross until you stop using it.

I was so terribly disappointed with this. Incredibly embarrassed with the results- I had to use twice as much makeup to hide the redness. It was awful. Not worth it for as much time as I spent using it.

Pros:

Nice packaging, arrives on time.doesn't dry up skin like Proactive

Cons:

Clears up skin during the first month of usage, after 1 month starting breaking out again.

Murad isn't very consistent, i feel like it worked for the first month so you order again and then your skin starts breaking out again. I might try Exposed, the review on this product is by far better than Murad

Pros:

ZIP. NADA! ZILCH!! umm...NONE, bascially. HMMPH

Cons:

Absolutely EVERYTHING!!!!! I used to LOVE taking pictures. Like literally, I'd jump at the chance to take a pic, but NOW, I REFUSE to step foot in front of a camera. I just feel so ugly!! Murad has SHATTERED the self confidence I once had.

WARNING WARNING!! Murad "acne complex" is complete and utter CRRR-AP!!!! I've been reading the rest of these reviews and I say all 98% of us who HATE this product should ban together and sue the crap out of this "company". Before Murad, I tried proactiv...and I honestly, never should have stopped. Looking back now, Proactiv was a savior compared to Murad! Murad has ruined my skin, my face, my self confidence - everything. UGH. It is horrid for the following reasons: - The so called "purging" does NOT last 2 weeks as noted. It goes on and on...and on!! I held out hope thinking that it was just different for me, but NO. THe purging has left my skin red, swollen, and completely broken out (in places i NEVER broke out before!) - It stinks! - It's left my face scarred all over my cheeks and jawline. I'm to the point where I refuse to put my hair up. I think that by covering my scars w/ my hair or with makeup, that its doing something...but one look in the mirror proves

Pros:

At first I liked the idea that this product was not tested on animals and that it was an alternative to proactive.

Cons:

The exfoliating gel excessively burns and the feeling lasts longer than a few minutes.

This product did not reduce any of my acne. Instead it gave me a red, irritated complexion and increased the amount of whiteheads/ blackheads on my skin.

Pros:

the box was cute

Cons:

Broke me out even worse! the tubes are hella small..and i will be sending it back. this product SUCKS.

..is i believe all the "satisfied customers" were probably actors/actress and i forgot for a mere second what modern day crop/cut/paste could do! so i feel for the "look, what it done for me" statements.. my advice is to go to a real dr. and get prescribed meds if you have bad acne.

Pros:

You can send back for a full refund minus S&H. Other than that...NONE.

Cons:

Immediate major breakouts...cystic pimples and tiny whiteheads. Skin is itchy, bumpy, and irritated. It hurts!!!

I don't have REALLY bad acne, but it seems like there is constantly 2 or 3 big pimples on my face. After seeing the very convincing infomercial, I decided to give Murad a try. After about 5 days of use, my skin has NEVER looked worse. I know your skin is supposed to be "purging" its impurities, but it looks just AWFUL! I have a few giant cystic pimples around my mouth, a whole bunch of tiny whiteheads (which I've never gotten before), and my skin basically has the texture of a brillo pad. It's itchy, bumpy, painful, and just overall uncomfortable. Per Murad, "it sounds like I'm having an allergic reaction." They adversise how much more gentle their product is over Proactiv...and while I did not have much success with Proactiv, it certainly didn't make my skin look as awful as it does right now. Seems to me that this product is super harsh, and per Murad Cust. service, "is for people with severe acne and pore issues"...I guess they forgot to mention that part on the infomercial!
