Pros:

The packaging is attractive

Cons:

Costly and it made my skin very dry and flaky, it seems to be making my acne worse than before. Has a bad smell.

I used this horrible acne complex product from Murad for almost a month, but it did nothing and they kept charging my credit card, you could just imagine what a nightmare I could have been having paying for something which doesn't work at all! I was using Clear Pores before and it did a great job I should never have changed.

Pros:

I've used the murad acne set along with their sulfur spot treatment and the post acne spot lightening gel. Overall my skin texture has improved greatly(escpecially after using the lightening gel). However it has not "cured" my acne.

Cons:

It's expensive to maintain using the sets and additional products. The sulfur spot treatment obviously smells bad but worked for me.

Good products but the price of maintaining the use of the products too much

Pros:

The moisturizer is good.

Cons:

It made my acne so much worse. It irritated and inflamed my skin and is expensive!

I can take 50mg of accutane a day at the same cost of Murad Acne complex.

Don't buy it.

Pros:

Cons:

expensive, drying, harsh, stinky. overall, I did not like this system. it worked for a while, but it was just KILLING my skin. My skin always burned or felt tight and it was never ever clear.

not worth it!

Pros:

...? it was easy to use i suppose...they gave me a refund, and that was nice.

Cons:

Well, first of all one of the bottles was leaking when i first opened the package. After using it for 3 weeks, my face was covered in painful, red, irritated cystic acne. I'd say my face got 50% worse after using this system.

This product claims to work wonders, but it doesn't.

Pros:

Shrunk and made pimples come to a head quickly. Money back guarantee when it didn't work.

Cons:

Severely dries your face. Irritating to the skin. Caused a severe allergic reaction.

I was previously a satisifed Pro Active customer, but after 4 years, it didn't work for me as well. After hundreds of dollars spent on regimens I hoped would work, my acne progressively got worse. When I received the Murad, like everyone else, I hoped this would work. At first it seemed like it was working; however, while my old pimples were vanishing, new pimples would appear, especially after using the mask. WORST OF ALL WAS THE ALLERGIC REACTION TO MY EYES, even though I made sure the product was nowhere near them, day by day I noticed my eyes getting puffier, itchy, and the skin underneath them red like sunburn. After seeking a doctor, I was informed it was an allergic reaction.

Pros:

Face wash was ok. Soapy but leaves skin dry.

Cons:

Stings. Smells bad and burns your nostrils. Spot treatment is hard to use and it's messy. Made me breakout more. This is probably the worse breakout I ever had. Beware of this product.

I do not recommend this product.

Pros:

Within 2days of using this product I noticed improvement. Thankfully the boxed set was the right combination for my skin because I didn't have any issues. I plan to continue using this product line.

Cons:

Very expensive.

I would recommend this product

I need a system 2 COMPLETELY get rid of my light pimples n scars 4 good. I was just about 2 call them and order the product but something told me 2 read some reviews 1st.. THANK GOD I did.. I am NOT going 2 buy it! I use 2 have moderately severe acne until I went 2 a store that has natural skin products (all products have natural ingredients). I started taking these herbal pills called hair, skin, & nails .. those pills ALONE REALLY help my skin TREMENDOUSLY.. along with that I use black soap with cocoa butter (or I THINK it might have shea butter but either 1 will help) every morning and a reg.scrub @ night (cheap Walgreens face scrub works 4 me).. about 3 weeks ago I started using a spot cream 2 fade my acne scars more, IT WORKS.. and about once a week I use a mask.. its powder stuff called "Indian Healing Clay" that I mix with raw apple cider or just water. It may sound like a lot of products but they're cheap and they all work.
