March 21, 2008

Pros:

Pretty packaging... instantly drawn to it while I was shopping at Sephora

Cons:

This product sucks.

The packing is crap... nothing but a marketing scam. Murad did not make my skin any better. If anything, it made it much much worse. My skin broke out in monsterous zits on my cheeks and chin. Horrible product and a waste of money
March 9, 2008

Pros:

the mask and cleanser felt cool on your severely irriated skin.

Cons:

this product DID NOT WORK AT ALL. the second step burns EXTREMELY bad!

DO NOT BUY IT! after i saw the commercial i was thinking "finally, the perfect product!" oohhh no. it dried out my skin, made it burn, itch, and flake off. my face was very red and irritated. DO NOT BUY IT!

Pros:

before you think it's working but then like later the "treatment #2" it'll stink and it wouldn't work.

Cons:

breaks you out more even though they call it "purging" and they said that the "purging" only last for the first week but then mine lasted forever..

i hate murad, it doesn't work.

January 30, 2008

Pros:

Sulfur and salicylic based = less redness (gentle)
Pretty consistent
Good alternative if sensitive to benzoyl

Cons:

Dry sometimes but then use morad lotion

Tried Proactiv, the benzoyl made my few pimples more inflamed so Morad is a good gentle alternative. Sulfur products are unbelievable in combo with salicylic

Pros:

none

Cons:

awful!!!!! Dried my skin out, made acne worse. I used it for around a month and hated it.

Bad stuff
January 3, 2008

Pros:

does not dry up face. reduced DEEP zits.

Cons:

it gives me more white heads.

i've tried proactiv for 3-4 months and it was drying my face so i switched to murad acne complex. i did not experience the "purging" process. my face became better in the first few week and then it was all down hill from there. i've now used murad for 4 months and never lived a day without a white head(well i guess it's better to get white heads than deep zits). anyhow, i like the spot treatment, it works to some degree. i'm going to cancel my membership and go see a doctor cause i'm getting a lot more acne recently. murad does not work very well.

December 26, 2007

Pros:

none :[

Cons:

oh GOWWWWD no!!
that stuff burns a HOLE threw your face & its itchy, sticky, & smells horrible!!

your better off trying proactiv
December 25, 2007

Pros:

shiny packages, auto-pay, infomercial inspires me to wash my face

Cons:

burning of the skin, reptile face, puss land mines have been left behind by this evil army of capitalism.

There is a cure for acne,just like cancer, but the rich swine have found it more profitable to sell rubbish that preys on our insecurities. The burn from this product comes from the high content level of mind control serum. FTW, wear your pimples with pride!
