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:

None

Cons:

leaves skin oilier, made acne worse, expensive

Simply put Murad is terrible. Im in my early 20's and I have mild-moderate acne. After trying proactiv for a while and not completely sastified with the results ,as it left my skin flaky and dry and I always seemed to continue to get pimples, I decided to switch over to Murad after seeing the informercial on television. Big mistake! I started getting hundreds of tiny pimples on my forehead, and also in areas where I usually never breakout (for example: under my chin, side of my face, upper lip and nose) and worst of all I started to get cystic pimples in areas as well, this was something I have never experienced before in my life! It became so bad that I didn't want to even come out of the house! I continued to follow the regime for about a month because they said to stay on it for a the full 4 weeks to see results. I did and I seen results alright, Very bad ones. It just made my mild-moderate acne to severe. I would never recommend this treatment to anyone. Save your cash!

Pros:

When I first started using Murad, it seemed to make an immediate difference in the amount of oil and redness on my skin, and the spot treatment worked great, sometimes it would nearly eliminate a pimple overnight.

Cons:

After about six months of regular use, my skin seemed to become Murad-resistant; I broke out as much as ever and the spot treatment didn't do anything. Also, if you order online, they continue charging your account and sending a bimonthly package.

Murad worked really well at first, but was not a long term solution to my acne. Also, the moisturizer was way too oily for me and I could only use it about once a week. Overall, I would not recommend it especially if price is a concern for you.

Pros:

None

Cons:

I gave this product at least a year and it always gave me bigger painful pimples. I recently stopped using it for Your Skin Care RX and my acne has cleared up.

I think the medicine is too strong and my skin is at a point where those strong acne medicines just aggravate it more. I'll never buy Murad again and won't recommend it.

Pros:

Helped clear my skin for the first week or so.

Cons:

After first week, acne got worse.Spot treatment stings like crazy, and the lotion makes my face oily.

I wouldn't recommend this product, it did not help my skin , now I have somewhat more acne to worry about. Plus, it's a bit expensive.

Pros:

its cheaper as it comes in a kit.

Cons:

purging...my skin started purging really bad from the 2nd day . i waited 28 days because they say that it makes the skin worse before getting better. i waited 6 weeks and my skin just got worser than ever.

this product does not work at all. just make skin worser and full of acne and new scars. its was a waste of time and money for me. but if u believe it works, u can try out. didnt work for me. so i wouldnt recommend to anyone.

Pros:

It cleared up my skin and made it really soft. Now I only have 1 or 2 zits.

Cons:

Made my skin kind of dry because I didn't use the moisturizing lotion. It is also very expensive.

I love Murad and will continue using it.
