Pros:

It is better than Proactiv. Takes off redness and pimples.

Cons:

Long treatment. Twice a day.

It did make a change in my face but it didn't work as said on TV. I still recomend it because it still looks pretty good.

Pros:

Nice look

Cons:

Smells horrible & most importantly doesn't work

This product really stinks!!! About 3 weeks ago I started noticing my acne was getting a little bit worse than it normally does, I had seen Murads advertisment on T.V. & it sounded convincing to me, so I thought why not. The first week it cleared my acne only a little bit, the second week I noticed I had acne on places of my face that I had never had before ever, I thought it was strange, but thought that maybe it might be from something else. The third week I noticed it was just getting worse & worse. My chin & forehead are completely covered in acne, I used to have mild acne & this crap has given me acne in places I've never had it...not just a little either. I would not recommend this to anyone, its a load of bull.

Pros:

Smells nice, nice texture. Easy to use. The cleanser makes your skin feel clean.

Cons:

No Improvement. Ineffective. Too expensive.

I have seen no improvement using this product and am extremely disappointed. I had hoped this would be the product to finally clear my skin. Just as ineffective and disappointing as Proactive in my opinion, and WAYYYYY too expensive. The Acne Spot Treatment sucks, complete waiste, doesn't work at all. I am fed up with Acne products completely. WHEN WILL I FIND ONE THAT REALLY WORKS??

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

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!
February 16, 2008

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.
February 5, 2008

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

-After 3 days of using this product, I looked like a burn victim.
-Pain

Never EVER going to use this product again!!
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
January 28, 2008

Pros:

started reducing redness, cleared newer acne first, still using for old acne and some scars

Cons:

that its not a geneie n make acne disappear from earth

i first ordered it from t.v, but couldnt keep buying it so i buy it now @ Bath & Body. $$cost is the same.
