What I Like About The Product:
The Murad Acne 3-step system is very easy to use. The clarifying cleanser was very cool and helped soothed my skin. I had far fewer breakouts and they didn’t get anywhere near as large. Also, my skin felt much softer and smoother.
What I Don’t Like About This Product:
I have very sensitive skin. The exfoliating acne gel “burns” my skin after I put it on my face, so I had to use it only once per day in the first few weeks. I also experienced skin dryness, as the lotion by itself wasn’t hydrating enough so I had to use extra help with a separate moisturizer for sensitive skin.
It may take up to two months for you to see visible clearing and improvement. Quite a few users report going through purging cycles (your acne gets worse before better) in the first few weeks.
Verdict:
The Murad Acne Complex kit is powerful, and fast acting, illustrating effective results in a month’s time. I used it for three months. My acne has improved significantly but not completely. I still break out regularly–just not as bad as before.
The Murad Acne kit is very affordable too. The company offers easy ordering methods. You can opt for the kit with the clarifying cleanser, acne gel, and lotion, and you can add on products to complete your acne fighting regimen.
