Pros:

Works pretty well for an OTC product, friends and family have noted that my skin looks much better

Cons:

Expensive!

Didn't clear up my acne 100%, but neither did Accutane. Works better than anything else you can get without a prescription. I like it, but wish it was cheaper!

Pros:

works for me+ not irritating

Cons:

$$$expensive$$$

This is the first product I have used where I have been consistantly clear. I can leave the house without make up now YAY. I tried proactiv which was very irritating to me and only made my skin marginally better. Murad has a more soothing cooling sensation to it. I think the main reason people are having problems with it is b/c they haven't gotten the right products for thier skin type. I was told that the kit tends to be very irritating, and that I only need the cleanser and the toner(which was cheaper so I was happy)). Murad is expensive but I justify the price by the fact that it has better ingredients than proactive (such as vitamin E, grape seed extract(antioxidants) and salycilic acid which prevent wrinkles).

Pros:

I notices clearer skin within the first week, it didnt dry out my face and the face moisturizer feels very light. Acne spot treatment dries pimples out quick.

Cons:

Exfoliator does burn a bit but its killing the bacteria so i dont mind it! kill it!!!

I never really had a major break out until now and nothing seemed to help my face, tried all kinds of thinks like Acne free and some other home remedies, they all irritated my face and dried out my skin... even the prescription meds! I just started using this 2 weeks ago and it doesnt dry out my skin... i can see a difference and now. I say try the 30 day kit and see how your skin feels with it... not every product works the same on everyone!

Pros:

The complex kit has a good consistency and it doesn't smell bad.

Cons:

Kit made my face red, and dry.

I do not care for this product very much. The face wash made my cheeks and my t-zone quite red, the spot treatment dried out my skin and also made it red, the lotion is greasy and doesn't work well, and I don't really care for it at all.

Pros:

Immediately effective, as promised. I rarely have acne flare-ups, but live in a polluted city which caused my skin to break out. Nothing worked -- I saw the Murad promo on TV. Was skeptical. But saw the sampler pack at Sephora and tried. It worked!!

Cons:

The serum has an unpleasant odor, but the soothing lotion is nice.

It's the only product I have 100% confidence in to clear up flare-ups.

Pros:

I like that it's available at Ulta and Sephora--no worries about monthly shipments. Didn't dry out my skin.

Cons:

PURGING! Pimples where I never in my life had had them, and even big cystic-y type ones; I can't believe I stuck it out the recommended usage time. But, after three weeks I began to see great results!

I've used this product for over a month, and while the first few weeks were pure torture, I am very pleased with the results. Is my skin 100% clear? No, but the two or three miniscule zits on my chin now and then is a very welcome change!!! I will continue to use it for as long as I need to.

Pros:

The Murad skin care product works excellent if you use it properly,
doesn’t dry out skin like most acne product, doesn’t leave scars, dries quickly.What’s there more to say best acne product I ever used.

Cons:

Price way over priced.
Packaging.... a little cheap produced.
Doesn’t smell the greatest

First of all I want to say I been suffering from acne for 6 years,(now clear) and I tried a lot of different methods to stay clear from acne, all I can say do your research people... A product will not make your skin completely free of acne you know that, no product out there can do that, but it will help control the bacteria on your skin. 'MURAD' does an amazing job best anti acne product I tried out there, Like I mentioned before this product will only HELP kill the bacteria on your skin. And that means it's like a fire distinguisher, but doesn't take care of the problem. The problem is inside you and you have to treat acne from INSIDE. All I can say is to clear up your acne you have to do the following: 1. Stop blaming acne products (fire distinguishers) that they don't work, you completely know that they are just there to help out not cure acne. 2. Get the best book written about acne and treat it like a bible: The Clear Skin Diet ¸ Alan C. Logan, ND, FRSH and Valor
