Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Cons:
nothing at all
Most horrifying product on the face of this earth. i have light acne. i get about 1 to 2 pimples a month. decided to try using the starter kit just to see how it is, because the commercials are very persuasive and they make it seem like its a miracle worker. but its the complete opposite. first day i started using it made my skin very red. the next few days started getting breakouts like never before. one day i woke up to 8 new pimples! 8! compared to only getting 1 to 2 pimples a month! this was waaaaay to harsh for my skin. i would never recommend this product to anyone unless they would enjoy having a face full of disgusting pimples.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Wasted 5 months and wads of cash
Background first: I consider myself a hippy (obviously) and really wanted to go down the "natural" path when it came to my acne. Tried that for years to no avail. Finally got on Murad after my cousin professed his deep love for it. I should have known better because I dislike him and pretty much everything he stands for. Ha. Anyways, got the kit, was warned that it would take a while to get all the existing forming pimples out so I was mentally prepared for it not to work overnight. I followed the instructions to A T for 4 months. Sure, I got depressed when I didnt see clearing but I just kept with the mantra "slow and steady" and "Patience". At around 4 months of dedicated use, I got the worst cystic breakout I have ever had in my life. It was one of those "shut yourself in the room" type of breakouts and it didn't get better for... well weeks. I remember being blown away that after having shelled out so much damn money on this miracle product, I would not only not see any clearing but actually find it to be getting WORSE. It was then that I just went in and threw the entire product line out. They were almost full and I am not flush with cash so it was definitely a big financial loss but I just felt like I was doing more continual damage to my skin by even finishing what I had. And I lost patience. I started the search for new products. Went to my dermatologist - they wanted to put me on drugs again (NO WAY!!!). I contemplated R&F but had heard bad things. I actually just was using Clearasil for a while... HAHAHAHA. What a joke. Four months or so ago, I read about Ninja Skincare on Amazon - random place I know. I had never heard of it but it had great reviews so I gave them a call, pretty deserate for a solution and pretty dubious. Had an amazing, life-changing consultation with one of their estheticians and got on their product stat. Remarkable stuff. Not since I was on Tetracycline in high school have I had such clear skin - and without the terrible side effects of Tetracycline. Only reason I gave Murad 2 stars is because the cost for it isn't as exorbitant as some other treatment plans out there but overall, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone - other than people I dont like, like my cousin. HAHA.

Did clear up acne in 3 days. Mine was not severe. On the second day got huge rash on lower face and neck because of the kit. Returned it to sephora, but still left with horrible rash that dried up my face and it seems like i am beginning to break out again. :(

Product used: Bye Bye Blemish (Drying Lotion)
Pros:
Got it for my son in desperation and it works! His face is so much clearer and he is so much happier. Love it.
Cons:
It is fiddly to use and the clear liquid dried up before he had used all of the pink lotion
Got the first bottle very cheap in a clearance sale. It was an experiment when nothing else was working and it has transformed his life. Would recommend.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
The cleanser felt cool and fresh to the skin.
This package cleared my skin.
Cons:
The toner stung a lot. I can only imagine the active ingredient cleaning out the inner walls of my every pore. It also had a strong smell that needs a bit of getting used to. My theory on this is that no fragrance-inducing ingredients were used on the formulation. NOTE: Most fragrances can cause irritation, which results to acne, to sensitive skin.
The lotion did not deliver the promise of "no added shine". It still added a lot of shine. NOTE: My environment's humidity might've influe
The Murad Acne Complex cleared my skin. I had been on Roaccutane therapy. After the second therapy, acne and excess oil returned to my face. Worse, it was even more severe than before I had undergone the Roaccutane therapy. My skin is clear of acne now. Sometimes, one or two pimples still pop out, but with continued maintenance, the problem is controlled and the skin maintained. My skin also felt somewhat firmer after a month of using Murad. *From all the acne stories I've heard and from my own experience, treating acne involves compatibility with the active ingredient. The active ingredient of Murad is salicylic acid. I have a friend who told me that Salicylic acid was not compatible with his skin, and it could not control his acne, so... Results may still vary.
