Pros:

It cleared up my face so very quick, and i love that it is so easy to use and the three stepe tystem works so well.

Cons:

none, most other threatment make my skin break out the first week or so but this did not.

The bottom line is that I've had acne for a while now, never bad but allways had some on my face and it bothered me for so long,so i thried several threatments and this one works so well, and you should try it, you only have one face take care of it, and if this doesnt work as well as you would like after about a month i would try dermaware it also works great.

Pros:

Quick results! You can feel it work and leaves skin soft and smooth. Also, you just feel like your face cant get any clearer. Pores are shrinking. I love it! Absolutely no skin drying/irritation like with Pro Active!

Cons:

You may need a separate moisturizer for after the exfoliation.

I'm on my second month [when they send you the big bottles] and I haven't had my skin this clear since before I had acne..about 6 years ago. I feel sooo good about myself now and didn't even know this skin was possible. I did not go through any purging period btw which was lucky. -The cleanser is really tingly, which I love. It reassures that it is working when you can feel it in your pores. -The Exfoliating gel dries pretty quickly and then you put on the lotion, which I don't believe has any acne benefits in it. Its just to calm the skin. So you can use any other gentle face moisturizer. Be sure to do the routine everyday morning and night. The improvements really motivated me to stay on top of it. If I do see a breakout coming up [which I have only had two], I dab the spot treatment on and at night, dab some of the mask on and forget about it in 2 days. -Its sooo worth the price and im so glad I ordered this stuff.

Pros:

everything

Cons:

small bottles

it worked great for me. i had TERRIBLE skin, and sensitive too. the stuff the dermatologist gave me dried my skin out like crazy, and then using the murad. it all went away. i still get a pimple or 2 but they are nothing compared to what it used to be. i love it i will use it as long as i can afford it. clear skin is wayy better and totally worth the price. next stop, getting rid of the scars. =]

It really worked really great and cleared up almost everything for me.I am very grateful for Murad.Just remember that everyone has different skin and that everone's skin reacts to different washes and lotions and pills.Just keep searching or visit the dermatoligist.You will find a cure some day.

Pros:

Makes your complexion and skin smoother and better looking, and helps to get rid of the brown spots left over from previous pimples.

Cons:

I don't like how the purging process works. I know that it's necessary, but still. And I gotta go school with it too

I have been using it for like a week and it has definitely made my skin look a lot healthier and got rid of many of my brown spots left from pimples. In my opinion, Proactive gets rid of pimples better, buy Murad is way better for your skin. I'm hoping my acne will start to clear up within the reccomended 4 weeks.

Pros:

No noticable smell, quality products, effective

Cons:

Expensive, but cheaper on eBay, etc.

Its the only thing that has cleared my SEVERE CYSTIC ACNE of more than 10 years. Im 30 years old and do not have teen acne. I had severe, painful, hormonal, huge practically boil like pimples under my skin that lasted for MONTHS. I was priviously using a line, Skintaxics, which I was hoping would work, but didn't. My skin was horrible and sooo dry, b/c I had a clay product on 12 hours a day. Anyhow, I tried Murad, and my skin was improving within a week. I had no purging, only improvement. By my 4th week, and ever since I only have one pimple! I use to have 15-20 pimples at any given time. Murad has been a life saver to me. And I've tried everything out there. Proactiv was a joke. But Murad has literally save my life. I was so depressed when I turned 30 and still had terrible acne. Well, not anymore. If you try murad, get the clarifying toner. It's my fav product. It feels great and preps the skin so that the other products absorb into the skin and don't just "sit" on it. Good L

Pros:

Fragance is good, best product i have tried...I have tried proactive, skin id, neutrogena, noxzema, clean and clear aveeno, and none of them work. This produt is really good even though i have sensitive skin.

Cons:

Bottles should of been bigger than what they are.

I love this product. My face feel so smooth and shiny. I think that this product is way better than proactive. I use proactive the 1st day I received the package tried it on and immediately my face turned red and swollen, it was really scary to see my face like that. But i guess every product doesnt work the same on everyone, bottom line is this product is doing what is suppose to do to my skin.

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:

WORKS!
Soft Skin
Affordable

Cons:

SLOW with helping blackheads..

I honestly did not believe that the Murad system would work so well! Within a week I was already noticing a change in my skin. It was soooo soft my complexion was for once even! and my skin was clear! I have never had horrible acne but occasionaly do get the breakouts on my forehead which are always horrible. However with this system my skin is AMAZING. I will say that i have always had tons of little black heads on my nose and chin. The ones on my chin are almost entirely gone and my nose is starting to get there however not quite as fast as with my breakouts. But seriously if you want clear skin this is for sure the way to go!
