Pros:

The first few days I thought my complexion was improving then it went drastically worse the 4th day.

Cons:

I'm peeling in the spot areas I used the exfoliating product (supposed to to all over face but was recommended to spot it). Neck is blotchy and red and irritated. I have the Vitamin C cream (wicked expensive) to help moisturize and still doesn't work

I feel horrible. My OTC product wasn't doing great but this expensive product has wrecked my face!

Pros:

It clears up or pimple and white head , skin look tight like teen. no flaky But I use just toner and ex foliate acne gel.

Cons:

when I use the whole package it made my face terrible and flaky.

at first I use the whole package 2 year ago at first 2 weeks my skin was so perfect. my pimple all gone. I use a lot of exfoliate acne gel and a lot of toner. then after that my skin got worse and worse. so terrible. then I switched to Proactive then Dan regimen, even how long I 've had use I never had a good day. I alway get a new big pimple every other day! then I thought my skin must love Salicid acid but at that time I must use it overuse. then I switched back to murad again but I use only toner and exfoliate acne gel. and I just use a little one time a day then 3 months later morning and night and I use Estee advance night repair for moisture. That's it! now my skin is so incredible. I got people give me compliment how my skin so perfect in age of 30s.

None

Cons:

Everything

I have always had perfect skin up until 3months ago when i had a terrible break out on my forehead.. a friend recommended Dr Murad and so i went ahead and ordered 2months worth of treatment. And omg, my skin has never been so terrible, the first 3 weeks i didnt break out, but after that i've had acne like you wouldn't beleive and it has left marks all over my face... im so sad..now im using clinique acne complex..lets see how that goes.. i only read the good stuff about murad, i guess i didnt do my hmwrk by reading this site... but the person who told me about dr murad, her skin used to be terrible and this has really helped her, she has flawless skin..she has been using it for a few years now...good luck!

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

Dry red skin, painful blisters, more breakouts

I am convinced this product doesn't work on sensitive skin. I used it lightly as the package said and then increased over time. I had a light breakout and after a few days I had 3 times as many bumps - and they were large and painful. I used the spot treatment which made them blistery and has taken over two weeks for them to heal. Normally I would get one or two of these type a month and it would be about a 5 day healing cycle. I had to stop using it because I was afraid the purging process would never end and I am too busy with work to wait for this embarrassing time to end! I also noticed that my eyes look very swollen - similar to how they look when I have allergies. It is just too harsh for anyone with sensitive skin! Don't believe the commericials! What is really strange is that I keep reading great reviews until I found this site where everyone is having the same problems I have!

Pros:

I like the way the product LOOKS. And I only liked the moisturiser.

Cons:

Not worth the price, very irritating, and not a pretty scent.

i was desperate to start using a new medication that will hopefully work for me. the very first time I use it, the damn exfoliating gel burned my face! at first i thought its was normal and kept using it. At the second day every time i put gel it not only burned, but it itched so bad i couldn't help but scrath my face full of blemishes which made it more painful. No way im using it again. I almost cried, my hopes were lost for this product. Bye bye Murad. (I was hoping to say instead "bye bye acne")

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.
