Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Does make your face feel clean
Cons:
Pricey, some products in kit smell medicinal
This product made my skin worse. I completely understand the "purging" process but one would think that if a product is supposed to help your skin, the breakouts from purging would clear up at some point. Mine didn't. I only used system for 2 weeks but blemishes did not clear up or look like they were even close to getting better. They actually scabbed up!

Product used: Grandpa's (Thylox Acne Treatment Soap)
Pros:
It is some what drying, dont use moisurizer with this product if you have combination or oily skin it will just defect the whole purpose.
Cons:
it works pretty fast, makes my skin smooth
i have been using it for three days and my scne is already clearing up. Now this product may not work for everybody, but for me i have oily skin and this in a was dries my oil out so that it why i dont get dry skin.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
Dries up breakouts and reduces scar appearance.
Cons:
Stinky. Expensive. Drying.
My friend gave me the full size because she gave up completely on proactive, but I will continue to buy this. I heard it's expensive though. It's the only thing from proactive that works. I use it twice a week along with bp and jojoba oil. My skin is clearing up so well since I've come across this site.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Within the first few weeks of the initial use, I saw favorable results.
Cons:
After using beyond one month, my skin began to itch and break out in hives in the chin, cheek and forehead areas. I am currently in the process of trying to repair/improve my skin due to this product.
This product is clearly not for all skin types. Either that, or it just does not work long term. I am extremely disappointed in these costly products! Try it at your own risk, but as we all know, breakouts in the facial areas is just not a pleasant thing to deal with. The murad chemists' should go back to the drawing board and focus on positive results sustainability!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Affordable with a well known name
Cons:
Does not work and even if you cancel the membership, they continue charging your account.
I ordered Murad for my daughter and she tried it for 2-3 weeks. It made her face very irritated. She only finished the trial. Before I could even cancel the membership, we received a new package. I called to cancel immediately and they requested for me to mail the box back for a refund. I asked the representative to charge me for that package because I had no time to go all the way to the post office. Murad has charged my account over $200.00 and I left messages and e-mails and no answer.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Helps with blemishes, enlarged pores, the lotion gives your skin this velvety smooth feeling.
Cons:
It smells a little, the spot treatment somewhat burns.
This product to me is amazing. I used proactive a couple of years back but the results was taking too long. I was referred to Murad about a couple of months ago by my gynecologist and i was real sceptible taking that some of the reviews that was given but i said what the heck. So I went to the bath and body works and bought the 60 day kit for 60 dollars.(got a ring to it huh.) anyway i started using it immediately, its been 4 days and already my pores have shrunk as they were real enlarged before, and some of my blemishes have healed up already! I have to say that is amazing. I think that everyones skin is different and things that may work on some may work differently on others. I would recommend this product to those who wouldn't mind trying something different cause you never know who it may well for and who it won't, not every product work perfect!

Pros:
when it works, it works well.
Cons:
being on of the main ingredients, sulfur gives off a slightly unpleasant scent in these products, but it is tolerable.
give it a shot. it's a little pricey, but it is a solid combination of natural and traditional remedies that may work well with your skin.

August 20, 2008
Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
Easy packaging/delivery
Cons:
Did not work for me at all
Had the same acne/pimples as I would have WITHOUT using it, left my face feeling haggard
Expensive monthly cost with a long system making it very time consuming
It doesn't work for everyone. (by everyone, probably most people.) If you're in a rush in the morning, Proactiv is something you will not decide to do because it's 1) Time consuming
2) Fills up space
3) Leaves skin feeling haggard. But that's just me.
Pros:
good
