Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Cons:
My face broke out so bad all over. It was so painful. I kept waiting for it to get better but it never did.
I had moderate to medium acne when I came across Murad products. within a few days os using it my face started to break out in a massive way. I did some research and found out that this is the purging process and my skin will get better after 6 weeks. 6 weeks later and my skin was so bad I was embaressed to go out. no amount of make up could cover it. Finally after 8 weeks and no result I stopped. One months and several other products later my skin still has no cleared. The acne that was caused by this product seems not to heal! it keeps coming back on my cheeks, chin and jaw line. This is by far the worst acne treatment product I have ever used.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
The refining mask is the best part of Pro Activ! It always works for me.
I got acne when I turned 22 and it made me really upset of using it I saw an improvement. My family and friends noticed it right away. All the products are great and the refining mask is key!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
Sort of worked when I first used it, dries up pimples, slightly reduced inflammation.
You can get a refund within 60 days
Cons:
After about two weeks there was no effect at all.
Really dried out skin
Burnt quite a bit (esp cleanser)
I didn't like it. It made my acne even worse than it ever was. Started getting breakouts everyday, got dry, itchy flaky skin, blackheads.
Went to the doctor who told me that proavtiv was a piece of sh*t and he didnt know why people were buying it. Got antibiotic treatment which worked much better. Cleared up my acne within two weeks. BOTTOM LINE IT DIDNT WORK FOR ME.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
skin felt clean, didn't dry out my skin as much as I thought it might
Cons:
medicinal smell, not effective in keeping new acne from forming, just plain disappointing
this is yet another acne kit promising clear skin, yet it simply did NOT work. I was excited about it initially since my skin was starting to improve after only a few days of use. after that though, I started getting really red, inflamed pimples in places where I ordinarily never break out (the side of my nose, under my eyebrow?!). and this wasn't just a "purging" process like Murad claims, because believe me, I was being patient with it and it only continued to ruin my skin. I am currently using Cetaphil cleanser, St. Ives Apricot Scrub and oil-free moisturizer and have gotten better results after only 3 days than I ever got with weeks of using Murad's Acne Complex. I highly recommend avoiding this product.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Good moisturizer, smells nice
Cons:
Terrible acne gel, goopy and sticky, doesn't work, Face wash does not lather, so you don't really know if it is lifting dirt up off of your skin.
Made my acne worse after it was perfectly clear for about a year. My cheeks never had acne in my life and then the Murad brought out severe acne and spots on my cheeks. Please use differin! It started clearing my acne up in the first week!

Pros:
not sure yet

I have only been using this product for about 2 weeks now and I have 3 new pimples. Hopefully this is just the "purging stage"

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
This system does work for about one to two weeks. It calmed the irritated and itchy feeling with the cleanser. And it helped smooth out my uneven skin tone.
Cons:
it makes you breakout. The company calls it the "purging process. Contacting them won't help they will tell the same things over and over again. the gel in the system stings and leaves your acne bright red, and the lotion does not help
Before I used this product I had light acne on the left side of my forehead, and 3 to 5 blemishes on the far side of both my cheeks. When I used this the first week, it made my skin desert dry, I didn't want to move my face because of it. So I called Murad, and they told I was using too much, so I used less, and my face felt like it ripped when I ate or talked. So I used the cleanser and put on my face for half an hour, and the dryness stopped. Week two it cleared my face completely. Then week three I breakout all over my face. It itched, my face was soar. and my blemishes where bright red. I called again. They said I was going through the porging process. It's where the build up under your skin come to the surface. So a few more weeks went by and the puffiness and itchiness went away. Now my face is in whitehead misery. I have nothing but red blemishes and whiteheads. Never use this because if you do go through the purging process, Murad isn't going to care.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
My face looks really bright and fresh. I didn't have acne really bad but alot of blemishes from previous breakouts and at least two pimples on my face at all times. But it has really made a big difference, I have nice skin!!
Cons:
It costs alot, and sometimes can be a chore to wash my face so much.
It's worth a try, and if you stay commited to doing the treatment, it will work.....worked for me.
