Pros:

absolutely nothing, except msybe for the little free gifts i will get to keep from the informortial!

Cons:

made my skin, that was pretty moderate light acne that only needed a little powder to many tiny little red bumps and white heads all around my mouth, EYES, chin, and forehead!

i know the informortion will make it look tempting but dont be fooled like many have! and stop wasting your hopes on this "purging" bs! because its just going to keep getting worse and worse!

Pros:

made my skin feel really soft and hydrated

Cons:

it didn't work at all

well, i used this product for about a year. instead of helping get rid of my acne, it made it even worse. now in the paper, it says that it's suppose to do that at first and then clear up your pimples. however, after breaking out horribly for a year, i had enough.

Pros:

It worked! Got rid of 70% of my acne.

Cons:

My acne returned after about a month of using it. Lotion made my skin sensitive.

I have tried everything out there for ance and nothing worked. I bought this product and used it for three months. It worked really well at first, then it just stoped working. I was really frustrated because it stoped working.

Pros:

Didn't make acne worse.

Cons:

I didn't see any positive results other than the lack or irritation.

I don't recommend it. It's not worth the price and there's no benefit to buying it.

Pros:

It didn't make my acne worse, but it' didn't work @ all. Once in a while, it will pop out more acne but not tremendous.

Cons:

It's didn't work for me, the yellow acne cream that came with it was a bit odd, when I first purchased and used it, the cream was not smooth, it had little bumps in it which I thought was propably an old bottle, but I just purchased it!

I used 2 of the box and box the cream had little while balls in it, IT doesn't work. The sales lady asked me what I used previously, and i told her neutrogena, and she told me that cheap stuff doesn't work and both the sales lady said bad things about cheap product and suggest this for me and garanteed it will work or I could bring it back! IT DIDN"T work, whats worse is I think neutrogena even worked better than this and neutrogena is cheaper! I never brought the product back simply because it was a hassle to drive an hour back to return!! I would not recommend it!

Pros:

Nothing!

Cons:

It made my acne worse. I have cysts on my face, face has been oily.

This did not work for me. My skin just does not like Salic acid. I went to the dr today and he gave me the antibiotic Doxycycline to use for a month. He also told me to use Persa-Gel on my face at night. If you have a reaction to Murad's, please go see your doctor/dermatologist and they will help you.

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

IT GAVE ME A SEVERE CHEMICAL BURN ON MY LOWER FACE AND NECK AFTER 3 DAYS OF USEAGE!!

I am a 31 yr old healthy male who had a sudden breakout of acne to the lower part of my face and neck, possibly from recent exercise program. I tried Murad after seeing the commercial and IT WAS THE WORST decision of my life! DO NOT USE MURAD, IT WILL BURN YOUR FACE!!! After 3 days of use, I now have what appears to be a chemical burn. I am scabbed up to the point where my co-workers are asking me, "What happened to your face"? Talk about feeling ashamed to go to work! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IT HAS GIVEN ME A CHEMICAL BURN I NOW HAVE TO LIVE WITH. I HOPE IT GOES AWAY. I AM SO MAD I AM CONSIDERING GOING TO AN ATTORNEY TODAY.

Pros:

Smells ok.

Cons:

Caused extreme reddening, drying and sensitivty. Highlighted blemishes. Increased spots both in areas where I had none before and in problem areas. Skin sore to the touch and even making facial expressions are sore. Feels like it has burned my skin

I'm a 32 year old male with moderate acne, very oily skin with 2 to 3 ingrown hairs once a week on chin & neck causing large swollen red bumps & a lot of sebum. After just 1 day of using Murad my face reddened to the point that people were shocked and asked me had I a rash. The next day, my entire face had dried to the point where it was sore to make even smile, I had dozens of tiny spots everywhere on my face where I hadn't had spots since I was 14. I phoned the helpline, who explained this was normal and reduce my use. From just 2 days!? 3 days after I stopped using it my face is still sore and red and covered in spots. They said that the normal purging process may take a week or more. Even if I could remove myself from society for that period, I couldn't bear the painful effects which I hope aren't permanent
