Pros:

I have only been using this product so keep that in mind while reading this but so far I have had fantastic results. it is not completely clear yet but a lot of my acne has gotten smaller if it has not disappeared. It really reduces redness as well.

Cons:

The smell is disgusting. During the day that is all I can smell no matter how much perfume I of on. Also my skin got really dry. I have sensitive skin so I expected that but I have only been using it at night so caution to users with dry skin.

It really has been working well so far with my acne and skin color. It evened out my skin tone and made my face smoother. I do have a lot of drying so you might want to try a more generic moisturizer. The moisturizer is also the source of the foul smell. Also do not buy this product from the website. I found it on amazon for only 20 dollars and it is the same exact thing minus the facial mask but it is worth it considering that you won't get stuck in an every month purchase and if you don't like the product you do not have to struggle to cancel before the 30 days before they charge you and send you a new one.

Pros:

It left my skin feeling soft and made my skin look good...i used proactiv and it made my skin look darker and dull. But it cleared my skin up alittle

Cons:

I still have acne.and blackheads.

I liked this product but it didnt clear my skin up. People would tell me my skin looks good but i hadnt started to wear make up and when i took the make up off...my skin was still blahhh...it smelt pretty good for a acne cleanser though! it did leave my skin actually feeling clean. I really wish that it wouldve worked! My boyfriend Jake is soooooo perfect and i'm soooo surprised he likes me! i just wish i could have clear skin so he would feel like im perfect! I WANT CLEAR SKIN!!!!!

Pros:

refreshing scent makes your face clean smooth and soft

Cons:

they should make there bottles bigger not enough product to last you 30 days

the purging sucks but after the purging clears you have soft smooth healthy skin BUT it takes more than 4 weeks to clear your skin. i still have dark spots and have been using this product for 5 weeks.

Pros:

cleared up large spots

Cons:

peeled with toner noticed more blackheads

I have had pretty bad acne, I was mortified by my larger spots so I geuss a few tiny blackheads aren't as bad. Proactive made my skin peel way worse. I like the wash better than that weird creamy stuff. Moisurizer made me look fresh as a daisy. Now breakouts rarely happen.

Pros:

Smells nice, nice texture. Easy to use. The cleanser makes your skin feel clean.

Cons:

No Improvement. Ineffective. Too expensive.

I have seen no improvement using this product and am extremely disappointed. I had hoped this would be the product to finally clear my skin. Just as ineffective and disappointing as Proactive in my opinion, and WAYYYYY too expensive. The Acne Spot Treatment sucks, complete waiste, doesn't work at all. I am fed up with Acne products completely. WHEN WILL I FIND ONE THAT REALLY WORKS??

Pros:

Nothing really to put on here besides the good packing to be honest.

Cons:

There many cons with this product. After several months finishing accutane my acne started to come back, but not as bad as before. SO i went back with proactiv & and I saw murad so i gave it a try. tried if for 2 weeks and i noticed a huge worsening.

I also called murad and they told me im just going through the purging process, but i started to get these small like pimples i was even sure if they were even pimples but my skin was very sensitive and pink and it kinda made my skin a bit oily. the downer with this product is that it comes with a lot of steps and i just feel like it was too much for my skin. Also, if u buy there products individually it is very expensive. i even went to there office with an aesthetician and i got a facial and that was pretty nice let me tell u, her advice was to work on my diet which i was already skinny myself. 5'11 135 pounds. yea i know. anyways the facial felt really good but it was too expensive. all she did was remove some of the pimples and blackheads and she jes made me lay down and relax half the time so it wasnt even worth it. anyways jes try it maybe it'll work for ur skin but mine didnt from that point on i jes went down hill. now im using accutane and it is a lot better.
