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.

Pros:

Made my skin very soft & clean! I was using a few topical creams & they worked for a couple years but suddenly stopped & I started getting these little white bumps all over my face so a friend told me about Murad & now the bumps are almost all gone!

Cons:

It made my skin a littel red and uneven at first & purged my skin pretty bad but it was worth it cuz my skin looks 100% better than it did before I used it :)

Great product! It might make your skin uneven or dry at first but if you just give it time it is amazing.

Pros:

Cons:

it stings a little bit and i still get some pimples.

Pros:

Simple steps, smells unlike other acne meds, gentle on skin.

Cons:

none really

I have very very mild acne prone skin. I only break out about once a month and this system clears up any redness and pimples in about 4 days. I use it only a week a month, the rest I use MAC wipes but I do use the exfoliating gel every single night. The cleanser just a week a month, and the on the spot very occasionally. So I would say if you have very mild acne, some skin redness this would deff help you get perfect skin.

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:

it worked very well....i could fell it cleaning my skin as i used it....after just 2 weeks of use i WAS clear.. :)

Cons:

stinks real bad

well i'v used alot of products and this is the one...
July 8, 2009

Pros:

Used the products for four weeks. They do work. Suspect that most who didn't like the products were not faithfully using them. My acne breakouts are down at least 90%. Am very happy with these products.

Cons:

Too expensive

Good starting point but salacydic acid products are available anywhere and are less expensive. I just ordered some from [link removed]. I hope it works as well as Murad did.

Pros:

Cleared up my face the first two months of using it.

Cons:

Stopped using it for a while and broke me out! My pimples were WORSE than it ever was.

I had very light acne when I first started using this product. At first I was extremely happy with the results, because my face completely cleared up! After a while when I stopped using it, I broke out with a tons of pimples. When I went back to this product, it did not work anymore. I now have sever acne, and have been looking for a cure since. I am not 100% sure that the reason for my breakouts is because of Murad, but it was the last product I used before my face started breaking out. But I know for a fact that I will NEVER go back to using Murad.

Pros:

Worked really well with my skin and cleared it up

Cons:

none really except just sticking with the routine

It was worth the money and I saw good results. Combine this system with their supplements and lots of water and your good to go
