I have a question. If your acne is manageable, and light, and if you're a girl you can simply cover it with makeup, why bother changing your regimen? I used to have really bad acne, so I'm thankful for what I have now. All I can say is to try it, you know what your skin can take, what works well for it, and what doesn't. But if you don't try it you'll never know. I read every single one of these a few months ago and still ordered it. No one says anything about my acne anymore, because I basically have none thanks to Murad. <3 Also, I imagine the ones that have the "none" cons, probably Murad workers. But then the ones talking about proactiv are probably working for them too. Which brings me back to my question, "Why bother changing your regimen if if gives you satisfying results?"

I was attracted to the idea of the product at first because it has no BP and claimed to not dry out your skin. What a joke! I used it for only 3 days, by day 2 my skin was SO dry and was literally peeling off my face like a snake shedding it's skin! I thought "this can't be healthy" and after reading the reviews here and on other independent sites I was too scared to continue use. I just couldn't see using something that harsh long term. It would burn slightly and make my skin red when I applied it. I had to apply moisturizer like 9 times in one day and it still didn't help the dryness. Hope I can get a hassle free refund. My skin is normal to dry, never oily so maybe for people with oily skin the drying aspect would be a good thing, I don't know. Maybe it would have worked to clear up acne, I didn't stick with it long enough to find out, but it just didn't seem healthy for my skin. Sort of like pouring bleach on your face twice a day. Oh yea, and the website does not give a list of ingredients so I found out after receiving the product that it contains hydrogen peroxide which damages skin cells.

I've suffered with acne for 18 years. I decided to try Murad because I was tired of ProActiv bleaching every fabric it touched and it didn't get my skin 100% clear. Murad did! It took several months, but my skin is smooth, glowing and totally blemish free. So stick with it! It will eventually work! The Murad oil-absorbing sunscreen is wonderful too.

I have struggled with acne my whole life. I'm almost 23 & I figured I would have grown out of it by now...I was wrong! I have tried everything out there, even going to the dermatologist & nothing has worked. Some things worked for awhile then they would stop. I was to the point where I just wanted to give up. I saw Murad Acne Complex on tv & figured I would try it. I did research b4 I bought it & I found both negative and positive feeback. I went to Ulta & bought the kit. I was a little shocked how expensive it was but I knew it would be cheaper than filling prescriptions each month. I have been using it for a few months now & I love it. (Keep in mind that i've been using this for about 3 months & i'm still on my first kit.) It makes my face feel so clean & radiant. However, I only use the face wash & lotion once a day...after I shower. My skin is very sensitive & over the years I have found that if I wash twice a day it breaks out even worse. At night I use Noxzema's Clean Moisture Makeup Removal Cloths. (Guys can use these too, it's not just for makeup removal!) I dont really use the spot treatment b/c it didnt do anything 4 me. I have never felt better about my skin. It did take about a week for my skin to get used to it & start working but after that, it did its job. I do tend to get a bump here or there if I fall asleep w/ makeup on but after using Murad for a couple days, its usually gone. And when I do break out, its not one of the painfull red bumps that you think everyone is looking at. Everyones skin is different. I was skeptical at first b/c there were so many negative reviews but it has worked for me. I know they sell it at Ulta & Sephora. If you are skeptical, call b4 you buy it & see what their return policy is. I know some stores will give u a refund if u dont like it. You can also buy the items individually so maybe just start out w/ the face wash. You never know until you try. I can honestly say, I will be using this product for a long, long

I've been using this system for over 2 weeks now. I didn't even make it 1 week with ProActive, so this is a nice change. My skin redness has been noticeably reduced and I am getting less and less pimples everyday. Woohoo!

I will be 30 this yr. I have suffered from acne since being a preteen. I have used proactive, neutrogena, clearasil, along with every other over the counter product available. It is true, products work for some people and not for others. I am 3 weeks in to trying Murad. Because I have sensitive skin, I am only using this product 1 time a day. I am a little disappointed because my face has become VERY dry, like when I used Proactive. The doctor said dryness would not occur. And that has become the worst part for me. I will keep with it, I know it will get worse, before it gets better. The medicine has to draw out all the dirt in order to heal. I'm expecting to have more breakouts. I am hoping that by my birthday in August, I will have clear beautiful skin, as this product advertises! The paperwork I received when I purchased Murad said I would have clear skin by March 22....we will see and I will update my review as things change.

This product is absolutely terrible, and will ruin any chances of beautiful skin. Even my upper chest and neck have broken out. They started recommending other products and I was reluctant because they had nothing to do with my skin care concerns. I should have stayed with what I was using. This product line has ruined my skin. My skin looks worse than it ever did before and I promise you if they do not get it together, I will be contacting my representatives.

I am completely aware that people have had horrible experiences with this product. But many others have had it work wonders on their skin! This is the case for probably ever acne system out there. When you choose to try an acne treatment you are putting your skin at risk of any side effects that treatment may cause. Different people will have different experiences with every type of product, because acne is very complex and everyone has different reasons for their acne ( and different skin ). So, this is MY personal experience with the Murad Acne Complex that I bought from the official website. I've had acne since Grade 6. I am now 18 years old. My acne is very complicated. Sometimes it'll randomly go away, without any product. And then randomly it will achieve the worst breakout I have ever had. I have most likely used every acne treatment out there. I have been prescribed medication, orally and stuff you put of your skin. I have tried pro active many, many times. It is a good product but it stopped working on my skin after my many years of using it. I have also tried organic soaps and pills and body cleansers and all of that stuff. All of these products would work on my skin but it wouldnt stop more breakouts from happening. I first used Murad In Gr.9, a few years into my mild/serious acne. It worked very well I had no negative or horrifying side effects like others speak about. But, my acne wasn't only due to dirt and excess oils. It was hormonal. So, again my acne still appeared. Murad did improve it greatly but hormonal acne will not be stopped by face wash. So, when I turned 17 I started on birth control that helps acne. Then I made the mistake of using pro active again. The benzoyl peroxide does not do well on my skin. So now I am 18 and I just started using Murad again. It in three days has reduced my acne 50%. It has had o negative effects at all. ( knock on wood ). And I will continue using Murad for as long as I need to. It is the only promising and safe acne treatment I have ever used over the 8 years I have been suffering with acne. Along with the treatment I will be drinking a lot more water, eating healthy, and exercising more. Because no matter who you are and what type of acne you have doing those things will improve your skin, maybe not heal it but it will make a difference. In conclusion, I would recommend this but id also like to remind everyone acne is extremely complex and there will be no magic cure that works for everyone.

I have always suffered from acne prone skin since I was 10 years old and I am now 29. I have been prescibed many tablets and lotions including roaccutane but nothing worked for me until I found proactive which was amazing for my skin. As id been using proactive for the last 3 years I was advised to change my product and was recommended murad acne complex. This was the worse mistake I have ever made. I used the 3 step product the clarifying cleanser, toner and acne treatment gel and after only 2 uses my face had a massive reaction. After my second application of the product within hours my face started to severely burn, sting and itch. My apperance was horrific and I could hardly recognise myself. My face was bright red, extremely tight and painful and covered in hundreds of yellow blister type pimples all over my face. The pain was so bad I was unable to sleep. I saw a doctor and was prescribed oral steroids, steroid cream, antibiotics, antihistamines and anti imflammatory drugs to try and calm down the reaction. This product should not be allowed to be sold its so dangerous!!!!!! I thought having acne was bad but nothing compared to my experience of murad. DONT USE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been a faithful user of BP for years, but decided I wanted to try and get away from it, because it can be a bit harsh for my skin. I heard "rave" reviews about how wonderful Murad was, and decided to try it. If anything - it would be any different than what I was currently using. My face broke out fairly bad (at least compared to how my face was). I could only stand using the system for four weeks, and at that point I was afraid that I was going to get premanent scarring if I continued. I switched back to BP last night, and my skin already looks better. I know Murad works for some people. It did not work for me. I learned my lesson - the painful way.
