Pros:

Does make your face feel clean

Cons:

Pricey, some products in kit smell medicinal

This product made my skin worse. I completely understand the "purging" process but one would think that if a product is supposed to help your skin, the breakouts from purging would clear up at some point. Mine didn't. I only used system for 2 weeks but blemishes did not clear up or look like they were even close to getting better. They actually scabbed up!

Pros:

Within the first few weeks of the initial use, I saw favorable results.

Cons:

After using beyond one month, my skin began to itch and break out in hives in the chin, cheek and forehead areas. I am currently in the process of trying to repair/improve my skin due to this product.

This product is clearly not for all skin types. Either that, or it just does not work long term. I am extremely disappointed in these costly products! Try it at your own risk, but as we all know, breakouts in the facial areas is just not a pleasant thing to deal with. The murad chemists' should go back to the drawing board and focus on positive results sustainability!

Pros:

Affordable with a well known name

Cons:

Does not work and even if you cancel the membership, they continue charging your account.

I ordered Murad for my daughter and she tried it for 2-3 weeks. It made her face very irritated. She only finished the trial. Before I could even cancel the membership, we received a new package. I called to cancel immediately and they requested for me to mail the box back for a refund. I asked the representative to charge me for that package because I had no time to go all the way to the post office. Murad has charged my account over $200.00 and I left messages and e-mails and no answer.

Pros:

Helps with blemishes, enlarged pores, the lotion gives your skin this velvety smooth feeling.

Cons:

It smells a little, the spot treatment somewhat burns.

This product to me is amazing. I used proactive a couple of years back but the results was taking too long. I was referred to Murad about a couple of months ago by my gynecologist and i was real sceptible taking that some of the reviews that was given but i said what the heck. So I went to the bath and body works and bought the 60 day kit for 60 dollars.(got a ring to it huh.) anyway i started using it immediately, its been 4 days and already my pores have shrunk as they were real enlarged before, and some of my blemishes have healed up already! I have to say that is amazing. I think that everyones skin is different and things that may work on some may work differently on others. I would recommend this product to those who wouldn't mind trying something different cause you never know who it may well for and who it won't, not every product work perfect!

Cons:

Within a 2 week period, i went from having the occasional break out , to having breakouts all over my face, were not talking a few here or there, 30-40 all over!

I would never recommend this product to anyone, it has made the last few months of my life hell. My skin is disgusting thanks to the acne complex, i used to get the occasional breakout just like everyone else so i thought i would give this a try to keep everything clear all the time, and was horrifid when my skin starting breaking out everywhere, in random places i have never even had a zit before..i stopped using it well over a month ago and my skin has still not gone back to normal...DO NOT TRY THIS PRODUCT! i wonder how they are even aloud to sell something this destructive!!!!!!!!! It basically gives you the opposite of everything it promises!

Pros:

It doesn't smell bad. Packaging is decent. That's it.

Cons:

Where to start? Basically what everyone else has said here-horrible breakouts. I've been using this since mid March and for exactly 3 weeks I have had breakouts everyday. Not just one or two but clusters. I do not go anywhere but work.

This doesn't work. I should of stayed with Pro-Active. Also, will someone please explain why the starter kit doesn't come with toner? I had to buy it separately. Of the three items in the kit, the directions's state "after toning" yet no toner. More wasted money.
