Cons:
huge puss-filled zits, which cancels out the even skin tone!
i'm approaching 30, and started having more pimples around PMS-ing, so i decided to try something new (besides clearasil face soap). worse mistake of my life. i have huge red zits on my cheeks, forehead and hairline! i've NEVER had zits on my hairline! and they ALL have puss!!!!!! before using this product, my pimples would go away in a week, now i feel it's getting worse! i had faith in this product, so i kept using and using it. no luck. my skin is worse off than ever. and they all scar REALLY bad. i really wish my friend never recommended this to me. if i could rewind time, i would never have tried this crap.

Product used: De La Cruz (Sulfur Ointment)
It's Works !!!! Be patient
Starting in November I develop some pimples nothing odd, over the course of 5 months it turned into acne vulgaris, my 1st dermatologist prescribed aczone which my insurance doesn't cover so I got Clindimycin, maybe I wasn't patient enough but I didn't notice anything happening. Went to another dermatologist she prescribed Avar which has sulfur but is $ 318.00 I couldn't afford it. Finally after much products, and frustration I came across De la Cruz. Amazing!!!!!!!! Please remember to WASH IT OFF !!! it isn't a topical cream it's a facial mask. I learned the hard way not reading the instructions, it says leave on 10 minutes but I notice a difference when I left it on longer, my skin can tolerate up to 3 hours. You have to determine the length of time your skin can tolerate it and be patient. After finally listening to my skin creating and facial regimen. I notice a difference within few weeks I am still using it and it hasn't cleared up everything yet but until it does I will give it 5, but for now a strong 4 is my rating.

Very Calming
I use a lot of Proactiv products. For some reason they just really work for me. I especially like this mask. I use this at least a couple times a week. I apply it to my entire face, and leave it on for ten minutes. You can also use this as an overnight spot treatment, but I've never tried that. The sulfur in this product really calms my skin down reducing angry redness. It also reduces oiliness. If you have very dry skin, you might not like this as much. However, it might work if you leave it on for say five minutes once a week.

Good for new breakouts, makes older break outs worst.
I noticed this is good for oily skin, maybe prevention. Also reduces new breakout size. However for existing acne I feel it makes it worst, scars last longer.

I love this product, I think they discontinued it though....
I use this product overnight and it really does a wonder in decreasing pimple size/ drying them out. Im scrambling right now though because I ran out of this product and can't find it anywhere except when you buy the $60 or $90 3 step proactiv package you'll then get the mini size. Proactiv is forcing the "new and improved" proactiv formula on us and I think it might be too strong for my skin. I want the original back and definitely need this mask..

total garbage
Way back when I tried Murad, it was because Proactive (BP) stopped working on me, and my boyfriend at the time was broken out and wanted to try something. We both gave it a shot, both got worse with no signs of getting better. What is this stuff and why do stores still carry it, and for exorbitant prices?

Not working for me anymore
Pros:
Cheap
Cons:
Dries out skin
Smells awful (until you just get used to it)
BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET ANY IN YOUR EYES! IT'S SULFUR SO EXPECT IT TO BURN MORE THAN ANY OTHER CLEANSER
For the first week I was washing my face with it in the afternoon and before bed and felt my face was clearing up. I moved down to washing with it once a day. I was taken off of an oral antibiotic a few weeks ago and broke out with numerous red, painful bumps. I figured the soap would help soothe it, but nope, it hasn't done anything for me. I guess I'll move back to washing with it twice a day...

A Mediocre Product
Pros:
Price
Accessibility
Cons:
Lack of viable results
I have tried Murad numerous time, and I have gotten mixed results about their products. Hence, I don't know how effective they are. What really worked for my, with break outs and scarring is an all natural product I have purchased from Holystic Hut dot come, I have used the spot treatment "Almogan" their Detox Tea "Nikuzit" and their moisturizer "Neve"
all you can find at Holystic-Hut website
Pros:
evens out skin tone
