Pros:

cleanser didn't dry out my skin, worked very quickly, worked consistantly for almost a year

Cons:

breakouts come back if don't use the products as directed for even a day or two

i never had any of the problems described here. it didn't make my skin worse at all, it just got better and stayed better. i bought the kit first but now i just use the cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and the occasional spot treatment. i love it, and its the only thing that has ever worked for me.

Pros:

Really Works!!

Cons:

Nothing

I have tried Proactive and Serious Skin Care. I bought this product as a last resort and I am glad that I did. I agree with some of the reviews that it is expensive but there's a price to pay if you want clear skin. I have been using this product for 8 weeks. Yes, the product did make my skin worse as stated in the brochure but a few weeks later my skin was actually clearer. I don't feel the nasty bumps under my skin anymore. It feels smooth and healthy. I am 38 years old and have been battling acne ever since I turned 25. I never had a zit until I hit my mid-twenties. I am so grateful for this product. I don't care how much is costs ... it works and I will continue to use it.

Cons:

smells so bad it smells like your face was burned

I used this product for 3 weeks and almost all of my acne is gone I think all the people who used this product never realy used it and there trying to make murad look bad. and some people are saying the spot treatment drys your skin your only required to put that on your pimples to speed up healing

Pros:

The skin perfecting lotion is superb. The Retinol is the key.

Cons:

1.7oz is great, but a little small.

If you find that one of these products in the regimen works for you, buy it separately. Do not be a bias idiot after one use. I doubt after one use your face is catching on fire; lets get a grip people.

Pros:

price is on par with other mid-range treatments, smells & feels clean, has GREATLY improved my skin, I have not at all had the irritation that others seem to have had, good mix of active ingredients including retinol

Cons:

the acne spot treatment (sulfur) is a little drying, but if you take a break from it for a day it is no problem

I am confused by all of these bad reviews; I started using the Murad acne complex about 2 months ago and love it! I have had pretty serious acne my whole life (I'm 29!) and have tried everything (prescription & OTC)...was on Accutane (most powerful presc acne drug) 3X...the limit! Each time, my face would look wonderful for about a year but the acne would come back. I tried ProActiv years ago; I never liked the way it felt on my face (it never felt totally clean) but it did work ok. Murad has actually done the best of anything (besides Accutane) I have tried to date. There is a purging process like they say, but it hasn't been as bad as I expected and it is almost done. My skin is smoother than it has been in years and it continues to improve. Not willing to claim a miracle yet, but I have DEFINITELY not had the bad experience many of these reviewers have. I recommend the product, as it has done wonders for me so far. If you're searching, you should least give it a try.
