Pros:

works well at first

Cons:

does not get rid of cystic acne
does not help much with scars

I did not really go through the purging phase like the others. At first, I thought it was ok because it made my skin tone even and somehow lessened my acne. I was not working then so I did not have to deal with a lot of stress. When I started working, my skin got worse even if I was still on Murad. I continued it for another 3 months but I did not see any improvement. I don't really recommend this for someone who has moderate to severe acne. It's too expensive and will probably work only for people with very mild acne

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.

PURGING!

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:

It works at first, that's it.

Cons:

It works at first, but like all other highly advertised acne solutions, it turns on you. It hooks your skin on it making you have to fork out the cash! Bleh! Don't buy it!!
It really just made my skin alot worse, just irritated and oily.

Not worth the price at all. Not worth any price really, if you want to keep your acne forever then you should indeed buy this product.

Pros:

The softness of the cleanser; it doesn't make your skin feel tight after washing it. The Murad skin-care specialists were very friendly and the packing was done in an appropriate manner (although nice, none of these things directly affect your skin).

Cons:

The smell of the gel is intoxicating, but after a while, you become somewhat immune to it. The "purging process" seems to take forever. The product leaves post-acne marks on your skin. It's overly expensive and didn't do much for me.

This product is overly expensive, and for me personally, it was not worth the cost. I expected so much out of this product, but it was a huge disappointment. I had fairly light to moderate acne when I started using this product, and in all honesty, it barely changed my acne; my skin stayed relatively the same before and after. Maybe if you have severe acne, this may work for you, but for me it didn't do much (maybe I didn't use it long enough? I only used it for 2-3 months). For those who have light to moderate acne, I would suggest using Cetaphil as a cleanser and some kind of direct on-the-spot topical medication, like Neutrogena on-the-spot acne treatment. So far, it's been working satisfactorily, but I still am battling with post-acne marks (something that I blame Murad for). Despite everything that I am writing, if you're completely desperate and want try to anything, then go for Murad - it might do wonders for you, but remember that beauty from Murad comes with a hefty price.

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.

Pros:

Worked really well with my skin and cleared it up

Cons:

none really except just sticking with the routine

It was worth the money and I saw good results. Combine this system with their supplements and lots of water and your good to go

Pros:

Works!

Cons:

Smells kind of peculiar, Some dry patches but nothing compared to the 30+ previous acne products I've tried.

It works, works, works! Though the infomercial said it will take 4 weeks, it took 8+ weeks for me, but it is very worth it. My skin is not only healthy but hydrated and clean! Very refeshing.
