February 15, 2009

Pros:

smooth the skin
bright complexion

Cons:

Produce more zits than ever, the freaking "purging process" like forever.

Dont you this product, even if u had mild or severe acne, it done nothing to ur face. I was so wrong to give this product a try. The acne product should cure the acne not making it worse n produce more pimples. I dont even understand how can they sell this stuff on television. What's a joke

Pros:

None

Cons:

the whole entire kit is horrible. The products and ingrediants in toner and spot treatment causes severe iritation of the skin..my face broke out after one day of usage! I even had more blemishes! my face was clear before murad due to the usage of ph

I HATE THIS PRODUCT.
January 9, 2009

Pros:

The soap feels fresh and cool, the lotion seems good too.

Cons:

Didn't help my acne, sulfur spot treatment smells like a sewage plant, the exfoliating gel burns because it has alcohol in it

I stuck with the system for a few months and it didn't seem to do a thing. Also, that spot treatment smells SO BAD and didn't clear much. It didn't really make it worse, and I do still use the lotion sometimes, but considering the price....not worth it.
December 30, 2008

Pros:

It seems to work for some lucky people

Cons:

Just makes breakouts worse. It seems like overloads the skin with too much crap...

I hate Murad. I stuck with it for a few months thinking things might get better for me. When the acne line stopped working for me I thought maybe one of the other lines from Murad would help. Nope nothing helped. It's an overpriced product. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
December 23, 2008

Pros:

It makes your skin feel good. and moist

Cons:

I'lve been using it for 4 years know and it does not to much.

It's ok if you wnat to have it as a some kind of cream for your face. But for Acne it does not work well at all. over time it makes your complaxiton go dark as well. It's cost to much. I've spent a lot of money over the years on this product and it is just not worth it.

Pros:

Initally when i got I got I was happy with it. I had used Pro Activ for a couple of years and decided to try Murad.

Cons:

Omg ....now my face burns when i wash it. I am breaking out even more, more redness and dryness. Even make up won't cover them up.

I will wait another week...if it is still bad then I will request a refund and go back to Pro Activ. I did not start to get acne until I was an adult and I am willing to pay more for a product that works. At this point I would probably switch back to Pro Activ.

Pros:

This is an amazing product. I have struggled with terrible acne for most of my life. I have tried everything under the sun. A friend told me about Murad so I thought why not it's worth a try. This product has changed my life is so many ways.

Cons:

Waiting for it to start working. Going through your acne having to get worse for it to get better, but it was well worth the WAIT!!!

Anyone who has bad acne of any kind try this product you will be so happy with the end results. My family tells me I seem so much happier now that my acne is clear. This product does not work overnight. It has taken about two weeks to see improvement.
July 2, 2008

Pros:

nothing....

Cons:

MAKES YOUR ACNE 10x worse

I used to moderate acne so i ordered murad to get rid of it, my acne turned from moderate to freaking horrible. my acne just started spreading everywhere i didnt know what the f**k was going on. i just wanted to rip my skin off. MY SKIN IS HORRIBLE NOW DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.
