Pros:

there was nothing good about murad, it makes you feel like your doing something good for yourself, and its not, DO NOT BUY IT.

Cons:

for the first few weeks, my face broke out with little tiny zits where ive NEVER had acne before. it says on the paper they give u , that this is natural, and it take time to "adjust to ur skin", and it never went away.

I quit using it, and the little zits have gone now. The redness that was caused is totally gone. this is about 5 months after using that. i have to say benzoyl peroxide does work, and it did clear my skin very good. im currently using NUSKIN. it really hydrates your skin and makes you feel super good after you use it.

Pros:

None

Cons:

It really doesn't work well for the cost.

I am upset that I purchased this product because I really didn't want to pay for it but the sales lady really pushed for me to get it and insisted that it works well. Well it doesn't do anything for me. Luckily I only bought the trial package.

Pros:

I didn't give it a one because it didn't burn my face off.

Cons:

It made my face really oily and weird feeling, I broke out more than usual with lots of little bumps all over my face and some big cystic acne that I never get. I used this product for about a month.

Didn't work for me, neither did Proactive.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

burns like hell and doesn't work

This stuff I really had high hopes for but the truth is that it is crap. This stuff burns your skin and makes it very dried out. They do give you a lotion with the package but it doesn't work either. Maybe there was a reason that this product didn't have any spokespeople, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T WORK.. I am going to try proactiv and totally give up on this crap. Don't buy this worthless product.

Cons:

This has ruined my life.

Please do not use this product. I beg of you, I am 15 years old, and I used this product in hopes of clearing up my acne. I used a very small amount trying not to overdo it and dry my skin or cause irritation. Unfortenately, I developed large cysts (which is something I never had before) and I also developed acne in places I have never had before either. I now have to see a dermatologist, but the scarring is so bad, it won't clear up nor can it be taken care of by chemical peels, dermabrasion or any treatments of that sort. I really regret using this product. It's not worth the money nor destroying your face. It's best to leave it alone. Go see a dermatologist before buying any acne treatment.

Pros:

Smells great, the moisturizer is smooth on your skin, the cleanser makes your skin FEEL better.

Cons:

Makes you break out, the 2nd step stings, didn't see any improvement.

After the first couple days it was a disaster!!! From having acne only on one part of my face it spreaded all over my lower, and the sides of my face! I hate it, it took my acne from mild to moderately severe. The bottles are SUPER small! you will run by the 3rd week. In the long run it made my skin 20 times worse and I now have dark scars. My skin is clearing up now, But's that's because I used the nutrogena advanced solutions for like 20 bucks.

Pros:

I bought MURAD from Sephora on July 27, 2009. I've had it for less than 3 weeks and I don't even wear makeup anymore! I had used Proactiv for about 3 years, and wouldn't go back to it if you paid me (and I used to love it!) I love Murad!

Cons:

Nothing. Sure it's $45.00 but you barely use any. Proactiv (and most other acne facewashes) are comparable in price, and don't last as long.

I am a huge lover of makeup. I am very girly and love having fun with it, but I have struggled with mild acne (a few blemishes here and there) for about 10 years, I'm 23 years old and often times even non-comedogenic makeup made me break out. Since using Murad I now only wear MAC Powder (more to mask a few freckles on my nose :)) and some blush. I am thrilled with the product in every way. Thank you Sephora, you're amazing for showing me this product! I am the happiest with my skin, I've ever been!
