Pros:

When I first started using Murad, it seemed to make an immediate difference in the amount of oil and redness on my skin, and the spot treatment worked great, sometimes it would nearly eliminate a pimple overnight.

Cons:

After about six months of regular use, my skin seemed to become Murad-resistant; I broke out as much as ever and the spot treatment didn't do anything. Also, if you order online, they continue charging your account and sending a bimonthly package.

Murad worked really well at first, but was not a long term solution to my acne. Also, the moisturizer was way too oily for me and I could only use it about once a week. Overall, I would not recommend it especially if price is a concern for you.

Pros:

It cleared up my acne temporarily..

Cons:

Never fully cleared up my acne, I would always have atleast like 4 pimples and like 1 cyst using this.

It is waste of money. It didnt really make my skin better, maybe a little bit worse after 4 months of usage.

Pros:

i used everything under to clear my skin up. I used proactiv, clean and clear, etc and it did nothing but make my skin breakout & dry &come to find out im skin hates benzol proxide or how ever you spell it. lol so i tryed this & it all went away! :]

Cons:

sometime its like bam my skin is clear & couldnt look any better and sometimes bam ill have like 6 or 7 on there & i dont think its from this, its cause i dont get all the stuff out of the zits but even tho i use it day and night & i still get zits

its pretty good cause it'll take it away but you'll get them from time to time but i havent tryed a better produced i ID BUY IT!!

Pros:

The spot treatment worked well

Cons:

Made me break out even more and gave me blackheads on my nose, chin, and forhead.

This product is not worth buying, it made my acne go from 2-3 pimples to 10-20 and caused blackheads when i didn't even have blackheads to begin with. And i've only been using it a week now.

Pros:

The only good thing about this product is that it makes your skin soft.

Cons:

Causes more breakouts on top of the ones you already have. I should have listened to the reviews on youtube and not bought it. Do not use this Proactiv worked better than this junk!!!!

This product does not work do not spend money on this junk!!! It makes you break out more. It does make the breakouts feel soft though LOL.

Pros:

Felt really nice and the gel did exfoliate my skin.

Cons:

The combination of the gel and lotion were too much. My skin burned and became irritated and dry. Also, I felt my skin became more oily than before, and I noticed acne is places I've never had it before.

I don't think it's worth the $60/two months. I believe it is overrated. My skin is sensitive and reacted badly to this product

Pros:

-Handy Kit
-Ships Automatically
-Effectiveness

Cons:

-Harsh Stinging ( I have a high tolerance for that, but if you don't take pain well, just be for warned!)
-Makes breakouts worse at first
-The package need ships WAY later than it says it would. so you are waiting around for it when you need it

First off, I'm 16 with moderate acne. I had small pimples on my forehead that weren't bacterial acne, but nonetheless there were enough of them to bother me. I started off using, like everyone else, alot of overthecounter items. I then used ProActiv, and after no success with that, I went to the doctor who prescribed me Retinol. I started using Murad Acne Complex on August 14 2008, I had results at first. The skin that wasn't covered in acne looked really good and bright! I was finally getting excited about my skin. But right before school started, I started breaking out where I had never broken out before, it really made me angry! It's taking me a very long time to get rid of this acne, especially the ones on the side of my nose. I've started using the Retinol in conjunction with the Murad, but yesterday my face suddenly got worse! I'm about ready to give up on it... but I figure a little longer won't hurt. I HAVE been using it inconsistantly and i know that's a huge mistake.
