Pros:

Cleared my skin pretty quickly. Left my skin feeling fresh.

Cons:

You do go through a period of purging for about a week and a half to two weeks.. It's normal though, so don't give up. The lotion does not work very well.

My skin cleared and I bought some everyday lotion for my face and it was very worth it.

Pros:

Nice fresh feeling and smells nice, and also cleared up my acne!

Cons:

It took awhile. I have been using it for a year and a half and at first it made my acne worse, but then one day my acne quit coming up.

It works. It takes awhile, but it works! At first i did not have any faith in it. But my Facial lady who knows all about this stuff and highly recommends Murad, said that it gets worse before it gets better. So i kept believing her, and it finally works. At first i had dark spots from where my pimples use to be, and i still have a few, but i bought the Lightening gel and it's starting to make those dark spot go away slowly. I guess patients is a virtue with Murad. I would definitely recommend it I'm nineteen and have struggled with acne for years and i finally found something that works. I buy everything with it though so it can get pretty pricey. Oh and if your face hurts, the lotion and face mask makes it feel much better!

Pros:

Worked very well for my SENSITIVE skin!

Cons:

The exfoliating gel made my face slightly red for about 10 minutes after application

I wouldn't change my acne regimen after trying Murad. This is the first product to clear up my skin after it being ruined by birth control pills! Lately I have gotten little blackhead breakouts around my nose, but it's nothing the spot treatment can't clear up. This product is a bit pricy, but it has worked well for me. My skin is highly sensitive and allergic to everything, but surprisingly this product did me no harm. But remember everybody's skin is different!

Pros:

Tingling feeling, Refreshing. Cleared skin quickly

Cons:

Price... Would be better if it was more affordable

I've tried many products including Proactiv and Acutane. I know a lot of people are going around saying not to try Murad cause it irritated their skin or whatever reason but I have to say I had the same experience with other products. The bottom line is you never know what will work for you until you try it. Unfortunately that means trying a lot of different products out there. Luckily Murad helped me out, it cleared my skin and really reduced my redness and has overall improved the feel of my skin. It would be great if the price was a bit more affordable but I guess we can't have everything.

Pros:

It cleansed my face really well, and it got rid of the bad acne on my face which i've tried to clear for 3 years after 5 rounds of antibiotics and 3 creams.

The creams spread well also.

Cons:

The kit can be quite expensive up to £30 and it made my face really really REALLY dry, especially around my mouth when i first started to use the kit.

Now after 3 weeks my skin isnt dry.

the kit is very good, it was my last hope and i will continue to use it.

Pros:

After one month my skin is clearer, no where near completely blemish free but I'm now on my second month and happy with the results so far.

Cons:

It is quite expensive and I don't know what the long term effects on my skin will be.

I would try this if benzol peroxide has not worked. It is easy to use and I'm hoping to be blemish free if the results keep happening with prolonged use. There is a definiate difference.

Pros:

It worked fast and consistantly

Cons:

purging

It was a great product, it worked fast the only problem was the purging. I do recommend it but for the best results, lay off the oil based foundation and switch to mineral, it's better.
