Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

nothing

Cons:

made me break out more!!!!
made me dry around my mouth
expensive
the lotion wasn't mosturizing enough

I'm allergic to BP, and had been using Aveda Outer Peace (which I'm going back to now) for over a year. I wanted to try something different, and this product looked pretty glamorous at sephora...big mistake. The new break outs i got from Murad are almost gone now. Using aveda with Dan's AHA. Save your money, and try something less irritating...

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

Leaves Face Smooth and lather like
Clears up moderately not a miracle
Great Smell

Cons:

Purging
Acne spot treatment is a joke

It works for the couple days, then stops, then purges, then works slowly... the acne spot treatment burns and fails every time i recommend doing an egg facial 3 times a week

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

None

Cons:

Eveythinggg! especially the price!

I was really hopeful to use this product. I've tried so many different products; nutrogena, acnefree, clean &clear, olay, st.Ives, ect. I've been using murad for about 3 months now, and my skin is literally so much WORSE! I'm getting acne everywhere on my face now, even where I didn't have acne before! I hate it! I'm going to send it back & get my money back!!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

clears acne

Cons:

skins gonna purge out the ass

It works, it just takes awhile. My skin started getting pretty bad as i kept using it from the purging. It was the worst the second week, then I started to notice areas of the skin clear up. Basically ur lifes gonna suck ass for awhile, which kinda sucks since im 16 and in high school. O and dont go to a dermotologist cause they f**kn suck. Every time i went there, they prescribed something different, and each time i used the prescriptions i got acne in places i have never gotten them like my chin, cheeks, and forehead. Before i went to a dermi my skin had like 5 zits. They ruin u. Murad saves u.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

Cleared my skin. That is all I wanted and it worked for me.

Cons:

none

At first I didnt want to try it because of all the bad reviews, so I tried EVERYTHING from store brand to expensive brand at the mall and most of the products at Sephora that I can afford. I even went to the dermo and that didnt work. I was browsing through Sehpora and one of the workers told me to try the $10 trial, and I was thinking, I had nothing to lose but $10 and even so, if I didnt like it I can return it. Boy was I glad I tried it. My face almost cleared up completely and i just went back to buy the 33 kit. Dont think I need everything in the kit, but I will try it..and may just use only the face wash, lotion and treatment. Sorry, this is pretty long, but I am soo happy, I finally have clear skin. I was sooo depressed before, now I dont have to hide my face and I smile alot more without my face being hurt from those crazy zits. Good Luck to all of you, I know not everyone skin is the same. Just because it worked for me doesnt mean it will work for you. But its worth the $10 try....

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

-NONE

Cons:

-used for couple months made my face worse than ever before. it made it the worst. literally

I'm telling you right now, this thing has made my skin worse than ever before. I'm a real person it seems like people who are posting good reviews about this regimen are fake or just murad workers. I feel like such a victim bc it's literally killed my social life and now I have no confidence and am not outgoing. I have half a mind to file a lawsuit against this company bc their products are pure bs. Virginia Tech lost to Boise St. couple days ago.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

zero + zero

Cons:

Like the first poster, It took 2 weeks, then my face broke out like it never did before... I had say 2 pimples per day before, after 2 weeks on Murad I had like 20 big hurting pimples ... I barely could talk, eat and laughing wasnt an option... and that lasted a good 2 weeks..

This thing is not for everyone and frankly, it is so risky that I wouldnt recommend anyone to try it... I guess buy salycic acid at the store and do some tests at home before even considering that product.. I guess it's the salycic acid my skin doesn't tolerate..

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

The facewash makes you feel refreshed, the lotion is nice and light but does a good job of moisturizing.

Cons:

Its extremely harsh. It make my face feel dry, at first i thought it may work, then my face exploded and i am now 2 months after discontinuing use am still trying to clear up the pimples that it "purged" this is an exteme system. It will literally make your face explode!

Even tho the only thing i still use is the Skin Perfecting lotion, i will never use this system again. The gel they give you just burns your skin off and makes pimples more inflamed. Id rather use BP anyday than SA. If you want to try their lotion, go to Ulta, they sell their products seperately, Sephora too. Otherwise, stay away, you can go ahead and asume it may work for you but then you will come back and cry cus it didnt. Do dans regimen instead!

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.
