Pros:

The cleanser felt cool and fresh to the skin.

This package cleared my skin.

Cons:

The toner stung a lot. I can only imagine the active ingredient cleaning out the inner walls of my every pore. It also had a strong smell that needs a bit of getting used to. My theory on this is that no fragrance-inducing ingredients were used on the formulation. NOTE: Most fragrances can cause irritation, which results to acne, to sensitive skin.

The lotion did not deliver the promise of "no added shine". It still added a lot of shine. NOTE: My environment's humidity might've influe

The Murad Acne Complex cleared my skin. I had been on Roaccutane therapy. After the second therapy, acne and excess oil returned to my face. Worse, it was even more severe than before I had undergone the Roaccutane therapy. My skin is clear of acne now. Sometimes, one or two pimples still pop out, but with continued maintenance, the problem is controlled and the skin maintained. My skin also felt somewhat firmer after a month of using Murad. *From all the acne stories I've heard and from my own experience, treating acne involves compatibility with the active ingredient. The active ingredient of Murad is salicylic acid. I have a friend who told me that Salicylic acid was not compatible with his skin, and it could not control his acne, so... Results may still vary.

Pros:

The cleanser, lotion and mask smelled good.
Skin cleared up VERY LITTLE the first week.
Other than that.. NONE!!!

Cons:

The Gel smelt HORRIBLE! My face broke out 10x worse from the second week - fourth week. It makes my face very shiny. Expensive.

I would not reccomend this product. I have been dealing with my acne since I hit puberity (i am now almost 22)... I have tried just about everything under the sun, so i figured hey why not one more. The first week I started to see slight results, and became veryyyy hopeful that this might be the end of my acne. Boy was I wrong. The second week was very bad. I was breaking out in places I never broke out before in my life. I thought maybe this was "supposed" to happen as they tell you. I continued using it and the third week was no different. I actually noticed I that the same pimple would continue to form a white head over and over and over again. Now on the fourth week it is still the same story except now i am having alot more cystic acne all over. TONIGHT WAS MY LAST NIGHT USING THIS PRODUCT AND I AM RETURNING IT FOR MY MONEY TOMORROW MORNING. HORRIBLE... good luck if u decide to try it, i really hope it works for u.. but i would NEVER EVER reccomend it unless u want ur face to become worse.

Pros:

-Good moisturizer

Cons:

-Did absolutely nothing for my acne
-Stings upon application
-I actually started breaking out MORE since using it
-Expensive for not doing anything

Don't spend your hard earned money on this. Not only did it not clear my acne, my acne got worse! I don't know if that was due to that alone, but either way it definitely did not help better the condition of my skin. I used to only break out on my cheeks and it was very small. Now it's progressed down to my chin and increased over the entirety of both my cheeks. I would say the best thing I got out of Murad was the moisturizer, which I might actually purchase alone. As for the system as a whole, does not do as it promises.

Pros:

No skin irritation
Easy to use

Cons:

Doesn't work
Waste of $$$ and time

This is not a great remedy for acne. As much as I wanted it to work it didn't do anything positive for my skin.

Pros:

-smells great
-leaves skin fresh and "clean"
-not sticky, or over-drying
-customer service, live chat on website to answer any and all questions
-clears my skin!!

Cons:

None for me

Murad is the only product I will EVER put on my face, for any issue I ever have with my skin. they have an amazing line of products, and I am indebted to Dr. Murad!! They have the best customer service, and I am a member, so I receive a kit every 60 days of the acne regimen. live chat with a REAL person, they go out of their way to ensure you are satisfied, and I know that from experience. I know this product may not work for everyone, but I am agitated by the comments I am reading! It takes more than 4 weeks to tell if a product works for you, It takes about a month and a half. You can't wash your face with a product one morning and that night and expect to have a clear complexion! Your skin has to regenerate, and that is where the "purging process" comes into play. Pimples can take a while (2-3 weeks) to actually reach your skin's surface, and everyone's skin is different. My face didn't clear up in 4 weeks as advertised, but it did in a month and a half! Murad Ance Complex and Murad's team of experts has changed my life, and the way I treat my skin. My experience with this product is top-notch, and I achieved the results I wanted and then some. My acne is gone, and now I am working with the Murad team to ensure my skin care regimen is right for me, for whatever my concerns are now, which ISN"T ACNE! I would recommend this product to anyone who loves their skin, and wants to GET CLEAR!! I suffered with hormonal cystic acne, red, irritated, itchy painful skin. Please give it a try, and if you have tried it but quit or didn't follow the regimen as directed, don't write a negative review because you didn't get to experience the full cycle.
