Pros:

the free gift of the mask in the 30 day kit feels good...

Cons:

It doesnt work at all and costs waaaay too much.

i tried the 30 day kit and believed them when they said id get new breakouts during the second week. but it didnt stop there... by the time the 30 day trial was over my face was pretty much the same. maybe a little worse. then i just started using the 60 day real kit and my face exploded with tons more acne. i got it in places ive never gotten it before like on my cheeks. it has ruined my face. i would never reccomend this product. if you want to try a product like this id say go for skin id or proactive. its cheaper and probably works much better.

Pros:

The spot treatment worked well

Cons:

Made me break out even more and gave me blackheads on my nose, chin, and forhead.

This product is not worth buying, it made my acne go from 2-3 pimples to 10-20 and caused blackheads when i didn't even have blackheads to begin with. And i've only been using it a week now.

Pros:

The only good thing about this product is that it makes your skin soft.

Cons:

Causes more breakouts on top of the ones you already have. I should have listened to the reviews on youtube and not bought it. Do not use this Proactiv worked better than this junk!!!!

This product does not work do not spend money on this junk!!! It makes you break out more. It does make the breakouts feel soft though LOL.

Pros:

It actually works..
And I personally think that it is affordable.
And you deffinitly get your moneys worth when it comes to the amount given to you.

Cons:

If your impatient...don't use it.

Many people who go to this site and have used Murad prolly only used it for 2-3 weeks and gave up because they didnt have perfectly clear skin. And they got mad so decided to bash it on this site. haha. But it works well for me. I used it a couple months ago and after a month my skin was almost clear. I admit i still had acne but my face was A LOT better than it had been a month before. And I just started using it again because I've been breaking out a lot lately. Ive been using it for a week and I already see results. -My face is smoother. -All of my pimples are barely red. -And all my black heads cleared. BOTTOM LINE: Murad probably isn't going to clear your face completely (if you have severe acne) within the month. But it will make your face better... I say go for it if your having trouble with Acne...I mean they offer a full refund if your not happy with the results. **JUST BE SURE TO SAVE ALL OF THE PACKAGING IF YOU PLAN ON REFUNDIN

Pros:

Cleanser is super gentle, smells great, lasts a long time.
Moisturizer is ultra silky and lightweight, not oily.

Cons:

Be prepared to deal with purging...
Exfoliating gel *does* smell weird but you get used to it.

I have been using this product for about a month, and during this time my breakouts have gotten worse. I figured there would be a week or two of purging and then I'd see results, but I hadn't. So in my frustration, I found Dan's regimen. I haven't actually switched products, but I did follow his application, and I learned that application is just as important as the product itself. I saw immediate results. Here's what I now do: 1. Use a generous amount of cleanser. Work the lather in your hands before moving on to your face. Lightly glide your hands (more like your fingertips) across your face for about 15 seconds. 2. I stopped using the toner and instead apply a generous amount of the exfoliating gel. Glide lightly, just like with the cleanser. Let dry. Rub in a dab of spot treatment if needed. 3. Moisturize! Most importantly, DO NOT PICK. Keep your hands away from your face and only use light pressure when cleansing and applying products. I would say tr

Pros:

Its feels good and smells nice.

Cons:

Makes you worse than you ever started off

I had pretty bad acne...well now i see, that i had nothing compared to what i have now. I was using Murad for a while and getting horrible dryness, redness, acne and cystics all over my face...my chin, cheeks, jaw line, ears, forhead...pretty much everywhere. I never even brokeout in most of these places before. I kept changing my make-up products thinking it was them...until i did some research on Murad and found out so many people were having the same problems. My face is so bad right now that i have a doctors appointment set up for next week that will cost me over $900. I am embarresed with how long it takes me to put it on and how much make-up i now have to wear every day to cover this up, and it still shows through (its that bad) NEVER BEFORE, have i had such BIG acne. PLEASE! DON'T USE IT! IT DOES NOT WORK!!

Pros:

Repairs some of the unaffected skin areas they look a little fresher than the affected skin.

Cons:

Makes your skin even oilier. Makes you break out a lot. The size of zits are even bigger. Can also cause redness. It can also burn as well.

Its not a very good product. Its more time consuming than most treatments and it doesn't even pay off in the end. Its made my skin oilier and more sensitive. Even though it states you will break out n the first few eeks it gets even worse as you go on. I have been using this product for 2 months now and it just doesn't work at all. My skin looks as bad if not worse from when I first started using it. Its also a little pricey.
