Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

nice website. customer service responded.

Cons:

purging contintued for 5 weeks. i've finally given up on the product. it's expensive too.

I was on ProActiv but my friend highly recommended Murad because it worked well for her so i right away went out and purchased it. I started to 'purge' and their customer service said it should end in a couple days to a couple weeks. however after five weeks, my acne was literally at its WORST. i hadn't had such bad acne around my mouth ever. my skin has started to clear up since i've been off it and now im taking minocyclin. this product worked for my friend, her mom, and this random guy at the sephora place. im not trying to be racist, but they were all white (maybe this works for just white people? certain skin types?) i honestly dont know. but i wish the people at murad had jus told me to return the product if it wasn't going to work instead of telling me to just wait and follow some instructions that did nothing. please dont waste your time or money on this product.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

None

Cons:

Was worse than proactiv.

This product is horrible, the infomercials make you think It'll be better and less irritating than proactiv, but It's even harsher. I highly recommend people to not use either products.

I have used this product for a long time (about 4 months) and saw no results. I am tired of acne. I can't handle my complexion anymore. It makes me so depressed.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

nice moisturizer, pimples might have gone away a little quicker

Cons:

Irritated skin, red blemish left over after pimples, did not keep them from coming just helped them go away quicker, funny smelling

Ive been trying this treatment for about 6 months. My face steadily cleared up at first and was almost completely clear after about 5 weeks but then it suddenly broke out pretty badly and hasn't recovered since. Ive been using the treatment correctly but it just stopped working. Very disappointing seeing as i saw hope that this was finally it!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

The mask is pretty good - thats it

Cons:

Very expensive and many many more cons

The worst acne treatment product I have ever come across after proactiv. I'm thankful to Clear Pores else I would have continued suffering with my acne for several years.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)

Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Worst burn I've ever gotten from an acne product. And it doesn't peel away to reveal skin underneath, either. You skin stays red and dry and gross until you stop using it.

I was so terribly disappointed with this. Incredibly embarrassed with the results- I had to use twice as much makeup to hide the redness. It was awful. Not worth it for as much time as I spent using it.

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.
