Pros:

Works!

Cons:

Smells kind of peculiar, Some dry patches but nothing compared to the 30+ previous acne products I've tried.

It works, works, works! Though the infomercial said it will take 4 weeks, it took 8+ weeks for me, but it is very worth it. My skin is not only healthy but hydrated and clean! Very refeshing.

Pros:

The Murad skin care product works excellent if you use it properly,
doesn’t dry out skin like most acne product, doesn’t leave scars, dries quickly.What’s there more to say best acne product I ever used.

Cons:

Price way over priced.
Packaging.... a little cheap produced.
Doesn’t smell the greatest

First of all I want to say I been suffering from acne for 6 years,(now clear) and I tried a lot of different methods to stay clear from acne, all I can say do your research people... A product will not make your skin completely free of acne you know that, no product out there can do that, but it will help control the bacteria on your skin. 'MURAD' does an amazing job best anti acne product I tried out there, Like I mentioned before this product will only HELP kill the bacteria on your skin. And that means it's like a fire distinguisher, but doesn't take care of the problem. The problem is inside you and you have to treat acne from INSIDE. All I can say is to clear up your acne you have to do the following: 1. Stop blaming acne products (fire distinguishers) that they don't work, you completely know that they are just there to help out not cure acne. 2. Get the best book written about acne and treat it like a bible: The Clear Skin Diet ¸ Alan C. Logan, ND, FRSH and Valor

Pros:

If used as directed it will work...for most people.

Cons:

The sticky gel, yeah it's sticky but it works.
The purging. It will stop. I'm living proof.

I'm 43, African American & have adult acne. My acne was so bad it felt like I could peel a layer off...literally I've used & am still using the Murad Acne Kit. It works just give it some time. Based on how severe your acne is it may work faster for others. I've used it for 4 weeks. It says to allow atleast 4 weeks. I've been using it now for 6 weeks. I was on prescription meds 1st. I stopped using those, 1 for morning & 1 for evening & started using the Murad. The purging was awful, REALLY awful!! I was getting dry patches & my face was red as a piece of cinnamon candy! In the middle of the 3rd week I used the prescription meds on the dry patches in addition to the Murad & now no more dry patches & my skin is acne free! I still have an occassional pimple every now & then but I just apply the Acne Spot Treatment twice a day until it goes away. There's no cure for acne but thus far this is the best product I've ever tried! My skin is clear and well hydrated.

Pros:

It's amazing! I would recommend this product to anyone and everyone. I have used several products before nothing seemed to work as well as Murad. I love it, and have been using this product for 2 years now!

Cons:

The acne gel stings a little bit, but that's how you know it's really working! I use it once, at night.

Just try it.

Pros:

works well, lots of product. feels great on skin and greatly improves the non-acne sections.

Cons:

not 100%; combine with moisturizer that has more sal acid than murad moisturizer for better clearing

Was on combo minocycline twice daily, birth control, differin with mild cleanser. Went off all prescription drugs because cost and stomach probs from antibiotics. Murad cleanser and toner plus hope in a bottle by philosophy as moisturizer (extra sal. acid) works as well as all the drugs did. Have had cysts for 12 yrs and mostly clear now. Still breaking out monthly and if wear makeup, but Murad is the best I've found. The cleanser is great and works better if left on for a minute or so. The spot treatment with low sulfur is terrific if I feel a pimple coming on. It cools the spot so it's less painful and keeps it from being as bad. Also, the spot treatment is greeny-clear in color and serves as a concealer. If I remember to use it my skin is much better. Previously used dry-lo high concentration sulfur treatment; this works as well without obvious dots on my face.

Pros:

I must say I thought this product was not going to work. I was ridiculously wrong! Haha ! This stuff is awesome , before i bought it i had severe acne and just a bit of acne scars from picking. Its been two days i've been using it , healing beatiful.

Cons:

None, yes i know there may be a purging period. But my face has never looked better and its only been two days!!! Dont get me wrong! I still have alot of healing to do but ive already received comments how less red my acne looks !

Well ive used everything proactive, over the counter, expensive dermatologist visits! This has worked for me and ive used it for literally two days and my face looks better than ever!

Pros:

It pretty much cleared up everything, except for maybe about 3-4 tiny zits. But thats amazing for me.
My forehead, looks like a baby's forehead now its so clear.
Made girls more attracted to me, and I didnt feel like they were staring at my acn

Cons:

Purging process is a mother ****. Made me break out like crazy.
Burning feeling in the first two weeks.
Dried my face terribly, but it could of been from the cold/winter. And there is no way it takes 4 weeks to work, its longer, but WORTH IT!

It has cleared up my acne SO MUCH! I used to get big red pimples on my forehead, sides of my face, and all over chin and lower jaw. It takes longer then 4 weeks, but you gotta try it. Ive tried everything, Proactiv, Clearsil, Clean and Clear, Neutrogena, Prescribtions from doctors and dermatoligists, and Murad, is the thing that worked. Im telling you, dont listen to the other people, they must of not used it right, this works.

Pros:

My face feels clean and is much clearer.

Cons:

Skin is too dry after using it. I have to use additional lotion.

I had a spotless complection until I was about 20. I tried the regular stuff you buy from the drug store, went to a dermatologist (which made me a wreck) and then decided to try Murad. It worked wonders. I think they changed the scent. It used to smell funny, but now it doesn't. I stopped using it when I was pregnant because my face stayed clear both times. I had to start again afterward though. In between I tried Proavtive, cause uit was more affordable. It did nothing for me. I started Murad again and sure enough, it worked and continues to work. I have been using it for at least 5 years now.
