Pros:

Cleared me up at first, then I dont know what happened.

Cons:

Horrible constant brakouts, dry flaky patches of skin, makes skin an oil slick after 3-4hrs of putting onto already oily prone skin.

Tried once after Proactiv faliled me years ago, so after like 5 years I came back around to it, yeah, still look bad, all kinds of acne now, in plaaces it never was before. I have horrible acne scarring now. Just mad, think ima try a combo treatment with the ben. perioxide that proactiv has with sal. acid murad has. maybe that will work

Pros:

The smell is nice and ever since the first use my face felt extremely hydrated and soft.

Cons:

Nothing really... I havent experienced anything bad with it.

Acne needs time and patience. Some people may say that they get a massive increase of acne.. but thats just the purging process. You have to stick out with it until that process is over.. than you will see beautiful results. I have severe acne.. and have had it since i was 14. I've used, proactive, skinID, neutrogena, biore, clinique and every other possible acne treatment... and this, so far, has worked the best for me.

Pros:

Everything worked! I finally found a product which removed my spots. The first week you could

Cons:

I didn't find it sooner + the second medication stung my face, but then sometimes I used an excessive amount.

I would buy this product if you had mild acne like me. Yeah the price is a bit... off, but if you really think about it all those times you were looking for the right medication, in total you might of spent more than $100.

Pros:

The cleanser is really nice. It doesn't wash away essential oils and doesn't leave your skin dry. You also don't have to use a lot to get a good lather.

Cons:

A bit expensive.

This is a very good product. I use it twice a day everyday. If you can't use it the way it needs to be used, then it isn't worth the expense. As far as the purging period goes, it was only about a week for me. This is the only product that has worked consistently for me. It doesn't dry out my skin and it has a moisturizer built into the system!

Pros:

the cleanser ALONE really reduces redness.

Cons:

it DOES NOT work. makes skin itchy and red. PURGING!!! (purging is the beginning when it makes the pimples HUGE!) IRRATATES THE SKIN!!!

for some people it works for others it doesnt. They lie and says 100% satasfaction but its not true. im 14 years old and have been suffering from acne since i was 8 and this has made my skin 5 times worse about a month ago i switched to epiduo and dyoxyclin and already my skin is starting to look fantastic i was on murad for 3 months and it did nothing in fact it did the opposite. Try it but dont be stupid like me and stay on it for 3 months waiting for it to work because trust me, it wont. good luck

Pros:

Initially very good. Not a cure for my acne but certainly the best I've tried. The best thing about it is the way it leaves my skin feeling really clean & unclogged.

Cons:

I have fair, sensitive skin and I have to use Murad very carefully, otherwise it dries-up and burns my skin. Recently I have had very nasty breakouts - most likely caused by Murad.

After several months of use I can say this stuff definitely works but it has not completely cleared my acne, probably because there is no way I can use as per the instructions. I use it now about twice every fourteen days, any more than that and it burns my skin, and recently has caused some really, really bad breakouts - spots that look terrible & take literally weeks to clear up. I don't think these spots are 'purging' but seem to be a nasty reaction of some kind. My advice is try it - but be careful.

Pros:

after a wash, your face is tingly and feels minty fresh and clean. i love that feeling.

Cons:

well where do i start?
dried skin, not enough repair lotion, major and severe breakouts, flaky skin

i started out with a few pimples here and there, for some odd reason i felt like switching to Murad. bad idea. this is why i'm here, and how i got my severe acne. it was all over. don't buy this.
