Pros:

it works!

Cons:

can be a bit drying when used togeter.

Best thing I have ever used on my acne prone skin. I only use the cleanser and body scrub. A little goes a long way so the price becomes reasonable.

Pros:

It smells good, the cleanser works good and doesn't scrub your face like proactiv.

Cons:

IT MAKES YOUR FACE BREAKOUT REALLY BAD. WHITEHEADS EVERYWHERE!

BOTTOM LINE IS DONT USE THIS PRODUCT UNLESS YOU CAN WITHSTAND A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF BAD BREAKOUTS. I USED PROACTIV FOR AROUND A YEAR AND I HAD MY ACNE UNDER CONTROL. I STILL BROKE OUT LIKE 1-3 PIMPLES A WEEK OR SO BUT SINCE USING MURAD I GOT 5 PIMPLES A DAY FOR A WEEK. I CAN SEE MORE DEVELOPING SO I AM DONE WITH THIS STUFF. WARNING!!! DO NOT USE THIS STUFF!!! TERRIBLE OUTCOME!

Pros:

i noticed that my skin wasnt ever oily anymore, and that it was softer and more even.

Cons:

the purging process never stopped and you just keep breaking out.....

after reading hundreds of aweful reviews from people who used it over a long period of time, and being asked if i had herpes because of the horrible breakouts it gave me, i decided to quit using it. i used it for 4 weeks, and i just couldnt handle the breakouts anymore...

Pros:

Loved the mask.

Cons:

Expensive and made my skin WORSE.

I use to use proactiv but needed something new. I was up late watching infomercials and saw a thing for murad. I thought I would try it and begged my mom to order it. I started using it and within a few days I got a bad breakout. But I figured that was normal because that happens when you try something new. I was wrong. It made my skin worse and if I could take back using it I will. Honestly, dont try this product. It was WAY to pricey and even when my mom cancelled my account they still billed her. I strongly believe this product ruined my skin and I strongly regret usuing it.

Pros:

Skin is soft

Cons:

Never had totally clear skin

I have been using for over a year. Worked good at first. Now the acne and the dark spots have returned even though I am still using the products and taking the murad supplements. I am cancelling auto shipments.

Pros:

did clear it up somewhat, but again for the price should have been worked better. I only bought the wash and the spot treatment.

Cons:

Drys skin out, however a light moisturizer fixes it. Scarring still bad. redness stays.

Too pricey for not being that effective.
