Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Cons:
It made my acne worse. I have cysts on my face, face has been oily.
This did not work for me. My skin just does not like Salic acid. I went to the dr today and he gave me the antibiotic Doxycycline to use for a month. He also told me to use Persa-Gel on my face at night.
If you have a reaction to Murad's, please go see your doctor/dermatologist and they will help you.

Pros:
NONE
Cons:
IT GAVE ME A SEVERE CHEMICAL BURN ON MY LOWER FACE AND NECK AFTER 3 DAYS OF USEAGE!!
I am a 31 yr old healthy male who had a sudden breakout of acne to the lower part of my face and neck, possibly from recent exercise program. I tried Murad after seeing the commercial and IT WAS THE WORST decision of my life! DO NOT USE MURAD, IT WILL BURN YOUR FACE!!! After 3 days of use, I now have what appears to be a chemical burn. I am scabbed up to the point where my co-workers are asking me, "What happened to your face"? Talk about feeling ashamed to go to work! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IT HAS GIVEN ME A CHEMICAL BURN I NOW HAVE TO LIVE WITH. I HOPE IT GOES AWAY. I AM SO MAD I AM CONSIDERING GOING TO AN ATTORNEY TODAY.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Smells ok.
Cons:
Caused extreme reddening, drying and sensitivty. Highlighted blemishes. Increased spots both in areas where I had none before and in problem areas. Skin sore to the touch and even making facial expressions are sore. Feels like it has burned my skin
I'm a 32 year old male with moderate acne, very oily skin with 2 to 3 ingrown hairs once a week on chin & neck causing large swollen red bumps & a lot of sebum. After just 1 day of using Murad my face reddened to the point that people were shocked and asked me had I a rash. The next day, my entire face had dried to the point where it was sore to make even smile, I had dozens of tiny spots everywhere on my face where I hadn't had spots since I was 14. I phoned the helpline, who explained this was normal and reduce my use. From just 2 days!? 3 days after I stopped using it my face is still sore and red and covered in spots. They said that the normal purging process may take a week or more. Even if I could remove myself from society for that period, I couldn't bear the painful effects which I hope aren't permanent

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
Works within a few uses, very relaxing on the face, clears small spots with ease with consistent use.
Cons:
Sold in such small containers, not as available as many other products.
It works. Best product I have ever used, including prescription topicals, top shelf products, and the extremely powerful pill, Accutane.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
it doesn't make your face worse when you start it. and it doesn't dry out your skin.
Cons:
the smell worsens after a while
this is a great product. what i do is when i feel it's not working i won't do 1 application. but i do suffer from light acne, like before i started using this product i had maybe 13 pimples over my face. i also use the mask once a month (because i really have no dry skin, thanks to the "skin perfecting lotion")lol.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
price is on par with other mid-range treatments, smells & feels clean, has GREATLY improved my skin, I have not at all had the irritation that others seem to have had, good mix of active ingredients including retinol
Cons:
the acne spot treatment (sulfur) is a little drying, but if you take a break from it for a day it is no problem
I am confused by all of these bad reviews; I started using the Murad acne complex about 2 months ago and love it! I have had pretty serious acne my whole life (I'm 29!) and have tried everything (prescription & OTC)...was on Accutane (most powerful presc acne drug) 3X...the limit! Each time, my face would look wonderful for about a year but the acne would come back. I tried ProActiv years ago; I never liked the way it felt on my face (it never felt totally clean) but it did work ok. Murad has actually done the best of anything (besides Accutane) I have tried to date. There is a purging process like they say, but it hasn't been as bad as I expected and it is almost done. My skin is smoother than it has been in years and it continues to improve. Not willing to claim a miracle yet, but I have DEFINITELY not had the bad experience many of these reviewers have. I recommend the product, as it has done wonders for me so far. If you're searching, you should least give it a try.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Cleared up skin... for a week or so.
Cons:
WAAAY OVERPRICED!! Acne came back... twice as bad! Very harsh treatment - dried the hell out of my skin, caused small bumps around my jawline and chin, itchy, burning, flaking skin. I was more ashamed to go out in public AFTER using these products!
DONT DO IT!!!!!!!
Pros:
Nothing!
