Pros:

Nice packaging, arrives on time.doesn't dry up skin like Proactive

Cons:

Clears up skin during the first month of usage, after 1 month starting breaking out again.

Murad isn't very consistent, i feel like it worked for the first month so you order again and then your skin starts breaking out again. I might try Exposed, the review on this product is by far better than Murad

Pros:

The cleanser feels like it's working and the moisturizer has a nice smell

Cons:

Didn't work for me.

It made the parts of my skin that were already clear very nice but did nothing for cystic acne.

Pros:

Cons:

expensive

the clarifiying cleanser has really been the only cleanser that keeps my acne under control... ive tried many cleansers but most of them make me dry and look pink and feel tight not good... this cleanser dosent make me tight and it really stopps the acne.. i rarely get pimples ne more probably 1 a week if that... i dont use the gel because it makes me red so i just use the skin perfecting lotion moisturizer and those 2 products seem to keep my acne under control

Pros:

-Not irritatting

Cons:

-Has purging stage which just destroys your face, causes many white heads

Murad acne complex for the first 2 weeks was absolute torture. It made my face look horrible. I had countless white heads all over my face. My face was aslso extremely flared and red. But after those 2 weeks my face started to clear. Im on my 3rd week and my face is clearing, the white heads are going away and the redness is fading away. If you are willing to go through the worst 2 weeks ever than this item is very good for you.

Pros:

I really like the Moisturizer and the AHA Exfoliating.

Cons:

I've gotten like small spots on my chin which I never had before!

I've been using Acne Complex Kit plus other acne stuff from Murad like Clarifying mask the AHA exfoliating for almost 4 months now and honestly I expected more! It feels like nothing much has happend and the spots I have on my chin and even around the mouth I have never had that before. I'll try a couple of more weeks and if I dont see any progress then bye bye Murad "/! But I think its worth a try thou :)

Pros:

It cleared up my acne immediately

Cons:

Day three came and my skin is uneven, red, and irritated. I think I'm going to find something else after reading these reviews.

I guess I'll have to see what happens to my skin after I discontinue use.

Pros:

Smells amazing. It's like a mint gum version of facewash. Really convinces you that it's working.

Cons:

I was so excited about this. For the first week and a half it didn't do anything. Then my face got way worse. after for weeks, my face got a little better, but not better than before.

NOO!
