Pros:

Simple steps, smells unlike other acne meds, gentle on skin.

Cons:

none really

I have very very mild acne prone skin. I only break out about once a month and this system clears up any redness and pimples in about 4 days. I use it only a week a month, the rest I use MAC wipes but I do use the exfoliating gel every single night. The cleanser just a week a month, and the on the spot very occasionally. So I would say if you have very mild acne, some skin redness this would deff help you get perfect skin.

Pros:

Used the products for four weeks. They do work. Suspect that most who didn't like the products were not faithfully using them. My acne breakouts are down at least 90%. Am very happy with these products.

Cons:

Too expensive

Good starting point but salacydic acid products are available anywhere and are less expensive. I just ordered some from [link removed]. I hope it works as well as Murad did.

Pros:

It works. The only thing that has ever worked for me. Tried the whole kit. The rest of the kit sucks - burned and wrinkled my skin.

Cons:

Have to order online. Apply leave on 15 mins as directed then wipe off with warm water. Face is beautiful after but keep away from eye area.

I use it three times a week for maintenance. I have never had anything else worked. I have had acne for over 15 years and have tried everything. This is the only stuff that I would recommend.

Pros:

it smells good

Cons:

Redness, irritated skin, never cleared up my face. GIVES YOU CYST Acne (the worst kind) I now have more acne than I initially started with.

Do not get this product... again a failure like proactive... Do not waist your money on it. Overall, just a marketing scheme to make money for someone....DOES NOT WORK

Pros:

It's amazing! I would recommend this product to anyone and everyone. I have used several products before nothing seemed to work as well as Murad. I love it, and have been using this product for 2 years now!

Cons:

The acne gel stings a little bit, but that's how you know it's really working! I use it once, at night.

Just try it.

Pros:

works well, lots of product. feels great on skin and greatly improves the non-acne sections.

Cons:

not 100%; combine with moisturizer that has more sal acid than murad moisturizer for better clearing

Was on combo minocycline twice daily, birth control, differin with mild cleanser. Went off all prescription drugs because cost and stomach probs from antibiotics. Murad cleanser and toner plus hope in a bottle by philosophy as moisturizer (extra sal. acid) works as well as all the drugs did. Have had cysts for 12 yrs and mostly clear now. Still breaking out monthly and if wear makeup, but Murad is the best I've found. The cleanser is great and works better if left on for a minute or so. The spot treatment with low sulfur is terrific if I feel a pimple coming on. It cools the spot so it's less painful and keeps it from being as bad. Also, the spot treatment is greeny-clear in color and serves as a concealer. If I remember to use it my skin is much better. Previously used dry-lo high concentration sulfur treatment; this works as well without obvious dots on my face.

Pros:

~Redness and size of zits/pimples are SOMEWHAT reduced if used correctly.

Cons:

~It is hard to get off of your face after it has dried on pretty well.
~I would not recommend this especially to people with ezcema, as I have it and it dries my skin out significantly even with the use of moisturizers.

Okay product, but doesn't magically get rid of your acne overnight like what is claimed.

Finding a Doctor

The right dermatologist can make a big difference to your patient experience and the success of your acne treatment plan. Here are the steps to find a dermatologist who is a good fit:

  1. Use the search feature on the American Academy of Dermatology website to look for board-certified dermatologists in your area, and filter the search results for doctors with a special interest in treating acne.
  2. Read online patient reviews of any dermatologists you are considering and ask people you know whether they have any experience with these dermatologists.
  3. Do your research and go to your first appointment with questions prepared.
  4. Listen to what your gut feeling tells you once you see a dermatologist in person. If you are not completely comfortable, try a different dermatologist.

Finding a Doctor

Only a select few plastic surgeons specialize in acne scar revision surgery. Be certain to find a provider who specializes in acne scar repair and who is passionate and experienced in this area.

Be sure to:

  • Look at before and after photos, the more the better, especially patients with similar scarring to your own.
  • Be realistic about results. Look for improvement, not a cure.

Questions to ask a potential scar revision specialist:

  • Are you board certified? Be certain that they are board certified.
  • How long have you been performing these procedures? Normally, the more experience the better, however, some younger surgeons may be more on top of the latest procedures.
  • Can I speak to some of your other patients? Ask for references for several patients who had similar scarring and speak to them about the process and their satisfaction with results.

Red flags:

  • Their story changes: As you discuss different treatment options, if they tend to change their mind easily, or agree with whatever you say, consider this a red flag. A confident, experienced surgeon will possess strong, unwavering opinions.
  • Your gut tells you "no": Trust your gut. If you just don't feel that the doctor is the right fit, trust that and move on. On the other hand, if you feel they are the perfect specialist for you, trust that feeling.
