Pros:

None, the first step sooth's my skin but that's about it.

Cons:

Doesn't work, i've used it for 3 weeks and have see if any to no results. i don't think it works at all, people always say give it time give it time. well i would think by third week it would have been better or i have seen results but i haven't.

Doesn't work.

Pros:

Smells nice

Cons:

My face exploded

Not worth it. I used it for about 2 weeks and kept telling myself it's gotta get worse before it gets better. But after 2 weeks I had acne where I've never had acne before and my face HURT.

Pros:

The pro I would say is the smell

Cons:

Made your face break out

The bottom line is that I gave this thing a chance.. I used it as recomended.. I used it for about 4 weeks thinking ok.. The purging is going to stop.. EVERYDAY something new formed.. Then in week 4 I would have about 3 to 4 pimples form and they were huge... By the mid of week 4 I wanted to crawl under a rock it made my face so bad.. I mean I really gave this thing a chance.. I guess it really didn't work for me.. So I would say if you want to try it, try it for the length of time recommended to see if it's really right for you..

Pros:

At first it really started to clear up my skin and looked great

Cons:

after the second week, I started breaking out extremely bad, all over my chin, cheeks and extremely bad on my neck and neck line.. Worse than I have ever had before.

after reading reviews, I am not sure if I should give it another week or so, or return the product since Sephora backs it up supposedly. I am 29, and should not be breaking out, it is to the point where I am embarrassed to leave my house! I had mild acne before, not too bad, an used to have incredible skin, and now it is very red and irritated and very painful. I am not sure if I recommend this product. My skin is very sensitive, but it seems like a lot of other people are having the same problems I am having. I know your skin gets worse before it gets better, but this is ridiculous.

Pros:

Cleared me up at first, then I dont know what happened.

Cons:

Horrible constant brakouts, dry flaky patches of skin, makes skin an oil slick after 3-4hrs of putting onto already oily prone skin.

Tried once after Proactiv faliled me years ago, so after like 5 years I came back around to it, yeah, still look bad, all kinds of acne now, in plaaces it never was before. I have horrible acne scarring now. Just mad, think ima try a combo treatment with the ben. perioxide that proactiv has with sal. acid murad has. maybe that will work

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.
