I've tried tons of products over the years to clear up my acne, but nothing has worked as well as the Murad. I have very sensitive skin and it hasn't dried it out one bit. You'll start to see the effects about 2 weeks after using it, but it really kicks in about a month later. My 2 month supply is less than 1/4 of the way gone, so it'll last me about 4-5 months. Definitely worth every penny.

I love this stuff. I am in my fifties and yes, I still have break outs. I always have. Murad works on all ethics. I have been using Murad for about four years now. It is the only thing that I have found that really works for me. No longer do I need to worry about going to the doctor and risking taking medicines that might cause reactions. No more waste of money. For me Murad is just right. It has no junk to cause my skin to have rashes and such. Once you use it keep using it. At first your skin might break out more, but don't freak out, it will get better. That is what it is suspose to do. Don't give up. I hope others will have the success that I have. This was one info commerical that I was glad I gave a second look.
Ps, you might want to shop around for better prices. I do shop at Amazon because, I have found very good prices. Best of luck on your skin's success.

Murad was the only thing that did anything for my face besides Accutane. If you are thinking of trying it, keep in mind a few things about this product. Plan to use it for a full 60 days because I really didn't see any real change until about 4 weeks into the routine but when it works it really works. It did a great job at keeping breakouts at bay, and I used to break out almost every day of the week. So that was really exciting, and it's slowly starting to clear up blemishes that I've had for years.

Acne Complex is a great product, I felt the difference in my face with the initial use of the cleaner. I love that you don't have to have any extra tools to apply any of the products, some of the products out there you have to have a cotton ball or something to apply the toner etc. At first I didn't know if I would be able to use the product twice a day, my skin is very sensitive, I could feel a couple of spots that felt dry, but they didn't look dry. I have been looking forward to using it twice a day, and it is the first acne product, that I could actually use 2 times a day as directed. So it is definitely worth the purchase, and as the other review said, it does go a bit further than the 30 days, or 60 days, which makes it that much more of a great value. I tried Klear Action and Acne Free, and my face broke out so badly, I couldn't continue to use it no matter what. I think Klear Action and Acne Free are actually the same product, that's just my guess. I tried them both months apart, with the same reaction...

Using the kit got me clear skin in just two days. It's been rather miraculous. Murad has a lot of active ingredients in it so I would be careful not to use any of the products too often at first to avoid redness and over-drying. So far, I am very pleased.

I have been using the kit for six weeks now and I did have one major breakout, but I know why I broke out and it's not the products' fault. My theory of skin care is that you need balance. If your skin is overly dry it will start creating too much oil to compensate and that is what gives me breakouts. While I was using all four products 2x a day, I took a plane flight (drying) and had a cold and took Claratin D (super drying). My skin got too dry and I broke out. I used a couple of masks and it cleared up in a few days.

At any rate, after trying all four products, I have bought full sizes of the Clarifying Cleanser and Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel. I think these are excellent products. I'm going to go back to using my old moisturizer, which I love.

I found the Acne Spot Treatment to be ineffective and will be using a Benzoyl Peroxide product for that purpose as it doesn't irritate my skin.

I hope that this is helpful.

I'm a 27 year old woman, and after pregnancy my face changed. My face became very oily on my t-zone and my cheeks got dry. I also stared breaking out all the time. So I decided to try Murad, It was very harsh on my skin. The products have a very strong smell. I used it as indicated for 4 days and my skin was so dry and irritated that it started peeling. I continued to breakout so I discontinued use. =(

This is a great product. There is a minimal purging period (5-7 days) which is short for most acne treatment systems. It doesn't dry your skin out like other popular treatment systems. And Step 2 works amazingly well! Every time I use it, all bumps go away. But being a woman it doesn't help with those pesky monthly breakouts. But overall very fast acting, very effective system. I would recommend it to anyone who is struggling with a current system or cannot find an effective system. It is relatively inexpensive for the quality it is. And you do not need to use much of the product at a time. A dime size amount is ample. So it should last quite some time, even with twice daily usage.

This product worked ok, but did not solve the acne problem I was having. I ended up going to my doctor and got prescribed medicine.

It really seems like a hit or miss with this product, I read reviews about it being great for some so I decided I give this a try, I was previously using proactive which helped a lot but after YEARS of using it it seemed to stop working and causing breakouts. I decided to use murad because a friend LOVE IT... I spend over 100 dollars, since they didn't have the 60 day supply at ulta I bought the products individually (big mistake) It was a big waste! I ended up throwing the products in the garbage (in hindsight I guess I should have given them to my friend I just kept torturing myself with it at home, I used it and spend months GIVING IT ANOTHER TRY lol) I wanted it so badly to work for me and I figured I just had to get used to it, like with the prescription creams I get at the dermo, I applied less, and the product just seemed to exacerbate my skin problems. I gave it to my husband, thinking MAYBE it would favor his skin.. it didn't. The results on his face were AWFUL! I mean not a lot of things really get to him but this really ruined his skin enough to make him self-conscious about it. I would not recommend this product to my worst enemy. And I guess since it is a hit or miss would caution buyers to try the products in a travel size if available.

Murad was my first choice of the brand for acne treatment. At that time, I found the product rather disappointing for its price as it did not completely remove acne problem even after months of use. I have deviated since and used five or six different brands, sticking with each product set for at least a month. Having taken that alternative route, I am back to Murad. It does not solve the problem completely, but it does the best among all I have tried.

While the product does not yield perfectly clear skin, my skin still feels very nice. It never leaves the skin dry like some other products I have used nor oily as my skin naturally is. Breakouts still occur, but none are outrageous and disappear relatively soon.

Among the set, exfoliating gel and lotion are superior to any other similar products I have used. The lotion has pleasant, subtle fragrance, applies easily and leaves the skin soft and moist without feeling sticky. The exfoliating gel similarly is easy to apply and seem to be effective without being irritating. Unlike many other "treatment" products, it does not leave the skin feeling dry.
Spot treatment does not seem to work particularly well and sometimes leaves the applied spot dry. I have been using tea tree oil as spot treatment.
As for the cleanser, I like how it contains salicylic acid and how it does not dry up my skin too much. It feels nice and cool on the skin, but it does not lather too well and feels difficult to be rinsed.

In short, this product line alone does not get rid of acne problem; however, it is very gentle on acne-prone skin, reduces the intensity of breakouts and improves the skin texture. As far as I know, there is no set of products that will completely get rid of acne problem and Murad stands as the best choice.
