Pros:

- there are none...

Cons:

- two words: irritation everywhere

Ughh I hate it. I thought this would be amazing but it really was the opposite! Made my face break out LIKE CRAZY and was waaaay to harsh for my skin. It's been like 3 weeks since I stopped using this whole regimen and my face still looks horrendous. If you have sensitive skin I beg you don't use these products!

Pros:

Cleanser smells nice.

Cons:

Caused rash.
Caused dry, red, itchy, irritated skin.

I was recommended this product by a saleswoman at Sephora. She said this was a better choice then Clinque because it had given people faster results. I tried it the first day and liked the feel and the smell. A couple days later my skin broke out in a rash and has become very itchy. It looks very similar to a heat rash. I would not recommend this product.

Pros:

smells nice

Cons:

more break out, oily, no results!

The worst product so far I tried. Does not work, they rip you off and then charge your credit card fir refills! Strongly recommend any other product. The worst customer service, and money hungry company, Please avoid all together Murad! I wish I did research before wasting my money and time on a wasteful product. I recommend Proactive....

Pros:

None

Cons:

Did nothing for acne. Made it worse.

I was fooled into buying this product desperate for some relief watching late night tv. Hung in there for around 3 months waiting for results. Never did in fact it got much worse so I discontinued use. Learned later that Murad is a complete scam. Even was flagged as one of the top scams on a consumer protection website. I spent way too much money for this product. I think it's awful that a company would prey on people with a real problem. Just thought I'd share my experience.

Pros:

My skin felt pretty good, not as dry.

Cons:

The product flat out tells you, this product will make your skin purge. It claims it will purge your skin, but then clear it up. All in the matter of 30 days. Heres what really happens, you spend a significant amount of time putting all these products on your face, advised that while using Murad, dont even touch ANY other brand, so i was unable to use my regular Clean and Clear cleanser. So i was strictly using these products for around 30 days, all it did was purge the hell out of my skin.

Murad uses ingrediants that department stores do not use, which explains the expense. However these ingrediants prove to be very inneffective.

I started this product because I was recommended it by the lady at Ulta. Before starting this product I had maybe one to two pimples a week. I just got it to make my face 100% clear. Worst product made me break out so bad. Do not get this at all.

Cons:

•oily
•I break out more

I used this product for a few months and it does not work. It leaves my t-zone very oily and my skin breaks out a lot. Leaves my skin also very irritated and red. This product was not worth my $60. I go to the dermatologist instead it's way better than spending on useless products like this
