Pros:

cleared up my skin quickly without drying it out

Cons:

a little bit expensive

I actually really love this product. After trying to use Proactiv for months, and watching my face get worse, I got up the nerve to quit and switch to Murad. My skin cleared up almost immediately and is super hydrated. I am so relieved to find a product that actually works and makes my skin feel great. No more piles of foundation =)

Pros:

Nothing 'pro' for me.

Cons:

I gave the product 9 weeks to work. The purging was HORRIBLE - lasting all 9 weeks. My face is in worse shape now than it was before Murad. Proactive wasn't cutting it anymore, so I tried Murad. My skin looks older & I fear it will never recover.

If you have hormonal acne - this product is not for you. I even called the customer service number after 4 weeks for advice and she told me Murad probably would not help hormonal related acne. She said it can take some people longer than 4 weeks, so I stuck with it another month or so. I have more breakouts & cyst type breakouts than I have EVER had in my whole life.

Pros:

The first few times you use it your skin feels very soft. Mask is EH.

Cons:

A Horrible feeling comes from using it after 2 or 3 days. A HORRIBLE uncomfortable pinching and stinging feeling comes from the cleanser and spot treatment.

Not a good experience. Hurt horrible and made me have the bad acne I have today. I broke out after four days but thought it was just bringing up stuff from my pores but realized it made me breakout at least 10 times worse than before.

Pros:

This product did clear the acne that I had initially on my face. I have been using it for 2 weeks and I haven't had any new breakouts. It made my pores a lot smaller, and my face doesn't look so red.

Cons:

I think its all the citrus extracts, but this product will dry out your skin if you do not moisturize. I did get a slight unnoticeable rash, but I stuck it out and it went away. I'll deal with a little irritation if it clears my face!

** BTW i did NOT use the Acne Complex Package after hearing the horrible reviews. I went to a local beauty supply and purchased the Clarifying Cleanser and the toner separately. I use a tiny hint of moisturizer morning and night, just a HINT, because this product does dry out your skin and it can be uncomfortable.

Pros:

Liked the moisturizing lotion.

Cons:

Irritated my skin, made it very dry and itchy. When I would apply the on spot acne treatment or the post acne lightener gel it STUNG soo bad. Sometimes when I would apply my make up it would burn really bad. I have been using since Jan. SUCKS.

Basically dont buy it. I still have acne, hasn't improved anything for me. Save your money. Due Accutane thats worth all the $$. Nuetrogena works better.

Pros:

None

Cons:

I don't have too much to say because I used this for about 4 months and it didn't change my acne for better or for worse.

This product does nothing but what a basic bar of soap does after washing your face. I saw no improvements at all nor did it make my face worse. I just felt like I wasted my money cause the end result after four months was the same before using the product.

IT MADE MY SKIN WORSE THAN BEFORE!!!!! im not sure how long purging is supposed to take but for me its been about a month.. it started about two weeks after i started using the product.. i also followed the steps exactly and i just got more bumps and broke out more than usual.

Pros:

Made my skin very soft & clean! I was using a few topical creams & they worked for a couple years but suddenly stopped & I started getting these little white bumps all over my face so a friend told me about Murad & now the bumps are almost all gone!

Cons:

It made my skin a littel red and uneven at first & purged my skin pretty bad but it was worth it cuz my skin looks 100% better than it did before I used it :)

Great product! It might make your skin uneven or dry at first but if you just give it time it is amazing.

Pros:

Cleared up my face the first two months of using it.

Cons:

Stopped using it for a while and broke me out! My pimples were WORSE than it ever was.

I had very light acne when I first started using this product. At first I was extremely happy with the results, because my face completely cleared up! After a while when I stopped using it, I broke out with a tons of pimples. When I went back to this product, it did not work anymore. I now have sever acne, and have been looking for a cure since. I am not 100% sure that the reason for my breakouts is because of Murad, but it was the last product I used before my face started breaking out. But I know for a fact that I will NEVER go back to using Murad.
