Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

The moisturizer was kinda nice, I guess.

Cons:

Doesn't work.

It's too expensive to experiment with and in the end it's just not worth it. You're better off buying those random acne "cures" they sell at drugstores instead. The treatment smells awful too.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

The mask is pretty good.

Cons:

Not strong enough, very expensive.

My face broke out pretty bad on this stuff. I really don't buy this "purging" business. I would not advise anyone buying this system. You can buy AcneFree Severe at Walmart and it works much better. I am switching back to that. I bought the product with some hope it would work for me. I have never had a 'miracle' product like some. Oh well, Murad is definately not it!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

made my skin feel really soft and hydrated

Cons:

it didn't work at all

well, i used this product for about a year. instead of helping get rid of my acne, it made it even worse. now in the paper, it says that it's suppose to do that at first and then clear up your pimples. however, after breaking out horribly for a year, i had enough.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

It worked! Got rid of 70% of my acne.

Cons:

My acne returned after about a month of using it. Lotion made my skin sensitive.

I have tried everything out there for ance and nothing worked. I bought this product and used it for three months. It worked really well at first, then it just stoped working. I was really frustrated because it stoped working.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

Didn't make acne worse.

Cons:

I didn't see any positive results other than the lack or irritation.

I don't recommend it. It's not worth the price and there's no benefit to buying it.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

It didn't make my acne worse, but it' didn't work @ all. Once in a while, it will pop out more acne but not tremendous.

Cons:

It's didn't work for me, the yellow acne cream that came with it was a bit odd, when I first purchased and used it, the cream was not smooth, it had little bumps in it which I thought was propably an old bottle, but I just purchased it!

I used 2 of the box and box the cream had little while balls in it, IT doesn't work. The sales lady asked me what I used previously, and i told her neutrogena, and she told me that cheap stuff doesn't work and both the sales lady said bad things about cheap product and suggest this for me and garanteed it will work or I could bring it back! IT DIDN"T work, whats worse is I think neutrogena even worked better than this and neutrogena is cheaper! I never brought the product back simply because it was a hassle to drive an hour back to return!! I would not recommend it!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

cleanser didn't dry out my skin, worked very quickly, worked consistantly for almost a year

Cons:

breakouts come back if don't use the products as directed for even a day or two

i never had any of the problems described here. it didn't make my skin worse at all, it just got better and stayed better. i bought the kit first but now i just use the cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and the occasional spot treatment. i love it, and its the only thing that has ever worked for me.

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.
