Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

none so far

Cons:

both the face wash and gel makes my face very red and very dry, the skin perfecting lotion is not strong enough to moisturize my skin

im on day 3 and my face is very red (looks like i have sunburn) after day 1 and day 2 i couldnt handle the amount of oil this kit was making my skin produce (probably cus of its drying effects) so today i added a few drops of jojoba oil to the lotion wich by the way i stopped using 3 days ago when i started my new murad kit. in my opinion so far the kit isnt helping just irritating my skin, but thats just me probly becouse i have sensitive skin.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

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.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

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!!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

I must say I thought this product was not going to work. I was ridiculously wrong! Haha ! This stuff is awesome , before i bought it i had severe acne and just a bit of acne scars from picking. Its been two days i've been using it , healing beatiful.

Cons:

None, yes i know there may be a purging period. But my face has never looked better and its only been two days!!! Dont get me wrong! I still have alot of healing to do but ive already received comments how less red my acne looks !

Well ive used everything proactive, over the counter, expensive dermatologist visits! This has worked for me and ive used it for literally two days and my face looks better than ever!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

the free gift of the mask in the 30 day kit feels good...

Cons:

It doesnt work at all and costs waaaay too much.

i tried the 30 day kit and believed them when they said id get new breakouts during the second week. but it didnt stop there... by the time the 30 day trial was over my face was pretty much the same. maybe a little worse. then i just started using the 60 day real kit and my face exploded with tons more acne. i got it in places ive never gotten it before like on my cheeks. it has ruined my face. i would never reccomend this product. if you want to try a product like this id say go for skin id or proactive. its cheaper and probably works much better.

Finding a Doctor

The right dermatologist can make a big difference to your patient experience and the success of your acne treatment plan. Here are the steps to find a dermatologist who is a good fit:

  1. Use the search feature on the American Academy of Dermatology website to look for board-certified dermatologists in your area, and filter the search results for doctors with a special interest in treating acne.
  2. Read online patient reviews of any dermatologists you are considering and ask people you know whether they have any experience with these dermatologists.
  3. Do your research and go to your first appointment with questions prepared.
  4. Listen to what your gut feeling tells you once you see a dermatologist in person. If you are not completely comfortable, try a different dermatologist.

Finding a Doctor

Only a select few plastic surgeons specialize in acne scar revision surgery. Be certain to find a provider who specializes in acne scar repair and who is passionate and experienced in this area.

Be sure to:

  • Look at before and after photos, the more the better, especially patients with similar scarring to your own.
  • Be realistic about results. Look for improvement, not a cure.

Questions to ask a potential scar revision specialist:

  • Are you board certified? Be certain that they are board certified.
  • How long have you been performing these procedures? Normally, the more experience the better, however, some younger surgeons may be more on top of the latest procedures.
  • Can I speak to some of your other patients? Ask for references for several patients who had similar scarring and speak to them about the process and their satisfaction with results.

Red flags:

  • Their story changes: As you discuss different treatment options, if they tend to change their mind easily, or agree with whatever you say, consider this a red flag. A confident, experienced surgeon will possess strong, unwavering opinions.
  • Your gut tells you "no": Trust your gut. If you just don't feel that the doctor is the right fit, trust that and move on. On the other hand, if you feel they are the perfect specialist for you, trust that feeling.
