Pros:

it smells good

Cons:

Redness, irritated skin, never cleared up my face. GIVES YOU CYST Acne (the worst kind) I now have more acne than I initially started with.

Do not get this product... again a failure like proactive... Do not waist your money on it. Overall, just a marketing scheme to make money for someone....DOES NOT WORK

Pros:

The cleanser was alright, even though it didn't completely make my skin clear..it didn't cause me to breakout more.

Cons:

The murad spot treatment was way too harsh for my skin.. it damaged my skin. I think because it contains sulfur ingredients. The acne exfoliating treatment gel dried my skin out. The moisturizer was mediocre.

Please do not waste your money on these products. They end up irritating your skin more than treating it. There are cheaper products in drugstores that work better than this system.

Pros:

cleared some acne temporarily

Cons:

left my face with bad cystic acne after i stopped using it.

i've had acne for probably at least 7 years or so. it started to clear up a lot once i was about 18 or so (i was only using clearasil products at that time). a few months back i decided to give murad a try, and it was a huge mistake for me. it seemed to work decently at first..my forehead was totally clear. but i started getting really bad breakouts on my cheeks. a lot of bad cystic type acne that i've never really had before. i also used this on my chest and back. my back is now broken out more than it ever has been. this product works for some people, but i've read a lot of reviews that ended in bad cystic acne because of this.

Cons:

didn't help in the long run...at all

this stuff sucks. most overrated acne regimen next to Proactive, which is also bunk. this stuff is ridiculously overpriced and i can't believe i used it for as long as i did, desperatley hoping it would work. useless!

Pros:

convincing commercial

Cons:

Dries out your skin and give you random pimples.

I used this product for a few months, I mostly have acne scars prom popping one or two pimples but overtime the marks add up. I tried murad and it makes your skin bright but you still get them breakouts. I would use it at night and wake up with big pimples and it also dries out your skin.

Pros:

You can have a refund :)

Cons:

It burned my face
It made my T-zone greasy!
The price for this isn't justified

My face is worse than before I started the product The step 2 "gel-exfoliant" irritated my skin painfully! Proactiv is way better.. it's not as irritating and it smells so much better than Murad.
