I have been using this stuff for a year and I like it my skin was really bad and I ordered this stuff it works magic... I have sensitive skin and I had no allergic reactions . The spot treatment is my best friend when i feel a pimple coming out i put it on and the next day its gone.

Pros:

- their spot treatment was actually effective

Cons:

- ineffective overall
- expensive

I like their bonus sulfur based spot treatment, that really was a magical tube. I dab it on a pimple and a few hours later it shrinks considerably. The other 3 products (face wash, gel, moisturizer) was completely ineffective though. It didn't do anything for my face whatsoever, didn't make it worse, or better. The ingredients weren't potent enough I guess.

Pros:

Definitely works for mild acne. It cleared up my skin. I have really oily skin, so it did not dry out. Great to use under makeup.

Cons:

You do have to put up with the purging - more pimples ofr a while. But I would say that it is worth it.

I used it for 6 months, and then when my skin was clear, switched to Neutrogena. I then began breaking out, so have gone back to Murad. I find it cheaper on [link removed] than the Murad website. The Exfoliating Gel is the best, along with the cleanser. Worth a try!

Pros:

none so far

Cons:

both the face wash and gel makes my face very red and very dry, the skin perfecting lotion is not strong enough to moisturize my skin

im on day 3 and my face is very red (looks like i have sunburn) after day 1 and day 2 i couldnt handle the amount of oil this kit was making my skin produce (probably cus of its drying effects) so today i added a few drops of jojoba oil to the lotion wich by the way i stopped using 3 days ago when i started my new murad kit. in my opinion so far the kit isnt helping just irritating my skin, but thats just me probly becouse i have sensitive skin.

Pros:

cleared some acne temporarily

Cons:

left my face with bad cystic acne after i stopped using it.

i've had acne for probably at least 7 years or so. it started to clear up a lot once i was about 18 or so (i was only using clearasil products at that time). a few months back i decided to give murad a try, and it was a huge mistake for me. it seemed to work decently at first..my forehead was totally clear. but i started getting really bad breakouts on my cheeks. a lot of bad cystic type acne that i've never really had before. i also used this on my chest and back. my back is now broken out more than it ever has been. this product works for some people, but i've read a lot of reviews that ended in bad cystic acne because of this.

Pros:

It cleared up my acne temporarily..

Cons:

Never fully cleared up my acne, I would always have atleast like 4 pimples and like 1 cyst using this.

It is waste of money. It didnt really make my skin better, maybe a little bit worse after 4 months of usage.

Pros:

i used everything under to clear my skin up. I used proactiv, clean and clear, etc and it did nothing but make my skin breakout & dry &come to find out im skin hates benzol proxide or how ever you spell it. lol so i tryed this & it all went away! :]

Cons:

sometime its like bam my skin is clear & couldnt look any better and sometimes bam ill have like 6 or 7 on there & i dont think its from this, its cause i dont get all the stuff out of the zits but even tho i use it day and night & i still get zits

its pretty good cause it'll take it away but you'll get them from time to time but i havent tryed a better produced i ID BUY IT!!

Pros:

I must say I thought this product was not going to work. I was ridiculously wrong! Haha ! This stuff is awesome , before i bought it i had severe acne and just a bit of acne scars from picking. Its been two days i've been using it , healing beatiful.

Cons:

None, yes i know there may be a purging period. But my face has never looked better and its only been two days!!! Dont get me wrong! I still have alot of healing to do but ive already received comments how less red my acne looks !

Well ive used everything proactive, over the counter, expensive dermatologist visits! This has worked for me and ive used it for literally two days and my face looks better than ever!
