Pros:

has massively controled my skin and 3 weeks on it im almost completely clear except for small whiteheads on my forehead but their going away. the only thing that has worked for me so far. i didnt go through purging stage.

Cons:

using the acne treatment gel once a night still dried my skin out so i only use it every other night.

IF YOU WANT CLEAR SKIN WITH MURAD READ MY REVIEW! started using murad 3 weeks ago and prayed that this would work for me because ive tried so many diffrent products and none of them worked to my standards. im 15 years old and i dont care what i have to pay to get clear skin , i just wanted clear skin because i was tired of hearing "oh you should use proactiv it works or other acne products" when in fact i had been using it and it was not working. i tried acne free didnt work, neither did model acne cream, juliets all natural face scrub, clean n clear, neutrogena, carleys clean and smooth. over a period of a year. murad i started using it 2x a day and the acne gel only once a day i was seeing clearer skin in 3 days and on the 6th day 4 new big pimples showed up. so i started using the acne gel only once every other night and the cleanser and lotion twice a day every day. wala i havent had this good skin in a long time. i think people get bad results because they overuse the acne gel.

Pros:

evens out skin tone

Cons:

huge puss-filled zits, which cancels out the even skin tone!

i'm approaching 30, and started having more pimples around PMS-ing, so i decided to try something new (besides clearasil face soap). worse mistake of my life. i have huge red zits on my cheeks, forehead and hairline! i've NEVER had zits on my hairline! and they ALL have puss!!!!!! before using this product, my pimples would go away in a week, now i feel it's getting worse! i had faith in this product, so i kept using and using it. no luck. my skin is worse off than ever. and they all scar REALLY bad. i really wish my friend never recommended this to me. if i could rewind time, i would never have tried this crap.

Pros:

Comes in a bucket

Cons:

doesn't work

Made me break out worse during my months usage of it. The only upside was that the redness in my face was less than when I was using duac. However, when I was using duac I wasn't moisturizing or using a gentle cleanser, so there were other variables at work.

Pros:

Cons:

omg where do I start?

This product is awful, it is expensive and it ruined my skin! I had mild acne after my child was born and I purchased this product after seeing an informercial. I only had small pimples before using this, after I has HUGE cysts on my cheeks and hairline which I had never had in my life. It was so painful and so horrible to look at I became severly depressed. My doctor actually recommended Accutane after this! Instead of doing that, I started using Acne Free and my skin is SO much better now, I have a pimple from time to time, but doesnt everyone? Do not waste your money, you will regret it

Pros:

The cleanser was nice and did make my face feel soft. It lathered really well with a small amount. It seemed to clear up the small white bumps I developed after years of using Proactive. The lotion was ok.

Cons:

The step 2 gel was slimmy and over dried my skin. The sulfur spot treatment was messy. Overall the Cystic acne was still there and even seemed worse.

Not worth the money and dashed hopes.

Pros:

Good smell to the cleanser and enjoy the lotion. You'd almost think it'd work.

Cons:

Makes acne worse! "purging" process starts and doesn't stop.

Please don't use buy the product. It will irritate the skin and cause acne problems to grow. I didn't get small red bumps, but instead large inflated red pimples where I normally don't break out. Sometimes I'd even get puss, which hardly ever happens to me, and blackheads look more pronounced. Warning: Redness and scarring left afterwards.

This is THE worst product I have EVER used. I was so excited to get it for christmas. Then I used it and my skin got SO MUCH WORSE. I used it for a month and a half thinking it would get better but it didn't. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Lotion is greasy

This product is total CRAPPP! such a gimic. I used Proactiv before and it cleared my skin id say about 90%. I seen the infomercial for Murad and thought that maybe Murad would be a better choice thinking it would work better than Proactiv. This was a huge I repeat HUGE mistake. At first It made my skin break out in little little bumps. I thought that the product was just working into my skin but then after a week of using it it made my little breakouts HUGE that seem take forever to heal alot longer than usual. I've been using this product for 6 weeks thinking that it just needs more time but I keep getting breakouts and a lot are in the same places that i've already had them. It should be healing them not causing more and more breakouts in the same place every week.. im definatly giving up now i've been noticing that this product is causing more damage to my skin than any other product i've ever used before.. I'm switching most likely back to Proactiv or go to a Dermatologist now.

IT DOESNT WORK AT ALL !!! stay away from this

after using it for 1 week, my face was RED AS A TOMATO , boy, that was horrible, my face was peeling, burning and itching like crazy, i looked terrible, then i went to the dermatologist and he told me murad had damaged my skin , the acid it has damaged my skin. Plus, the exfoliating cream burns like CRAZY ITS horrible. the refining mask is way cool tho Now im using differin, its much better than murad, but it might not work for you either, so just be aware of what you use and youll be alright. MURAD SUCKS!! ugh... why did i even bother
