How to create a great acne fighting cocktail - 2/25/2013 7:49:04 AM I do like this acne treatment gel because of it's balance of acne fighting acids and redness calming licorice and chamomile however i can't use it straight out of the bottle. It is very drying and irritating on it's own. I have combination/sinsitive skin with very small pores. I get occasional breakouts, blind pimples are my enemy and my skin scars easily. Years ago I discovered Bio-Oil at my local drug store and about 3 years ago I began tinkering with various skin care products in my bathroom to see how I could tailor a solution for my combination + aging skin. I'm 37 now and am constantly complimented on my complexion. I'll keep this review just for how to battle annoying acne breakouts: Use equal parts of Murad Acne Gel, Bio-Oil and ProActive's repairing treatment (the smaller white bottle). Mix just enough of each to treat your face,( i do this in my hand) and apply to your face avoiding the eyes of course. I use enough to leave my face feeling damp. I only use this combination when I see a pimple or two pop up and I only do it at night. By the following morning, the difference is amazing. I also add Bio Oil to my BB Cream or my favorite SPF 30 moisturizer if just going to the gym and you'll find in time that just adding this little bit here and there will pay off huge in your skins appearance.

Irritating - 11/29/2011 6:39:03 PM This product will irritate and dry your skin. It dries it out and causes even more issues. Perhaps if you experience cystic acne this product will be more effective, but if you have an occasional breakout or are normal or sensitive skin type, do not use this. I also would not recommend the Murad cleanser, moisturizer, or spot treatment because they are all drying (yes, even the "moisturizer", which is essentially water). These products, including the exfoliating acne treatment, will strip your skin and disrupt the PH balance, causing more acne and skin issues such as dryness, irritation and even more oiliness.

Super Drying and Not Effective - 11/1/2011 5:56:54 PM Cleanser: Really foamy and harsh. This cleanser does get your skin "squeaky clean", but skin is not meant to be stripped and that is what this kit does. Exfoliating Acne Gel: Very harsh, will dry skin out completely. I had to stop using this because my skin couldn't handle it anymore. Lotion: Super lightweight, not very moisturizing and does not counteract the drying properties of the other products. Spot Treatment: Somewhat works. Like the other products, it is very drying and doesn't really 'zap' the pimple to be less red and less noticeable. It really dries out the skin around the blemish, too. After the blemish is flattened, it leaves a very red hyperpigmentation spot. Overall, this kit is not very effective because it seems to target drying out the skin and not addressing the issues of acne causing bacteria. It is full of salicylic acid, which is a good exfoliator, but that doesn't address the bacteria or underlying causes (like hormone fluctuation). I would highly recommend using a nice, balanced cleanser (like Purity Made Simple or Kate Somerville's Gentle wash) and a lightweight lotion treatment (like philosophy's All Over Acne Treatment or Clinique's Clearing Moisturizer), and a nice moisturizer (Kate Somerville's oil-free moisturizer is great). Murad's kit will derail your skin's natural ability to heal itself and cause increased oil production along with irritation and more breakouts.

Great Product - 4/19/2010 1:02:57 PM This is a good cover up stick as well as an acne medication combined! I love this product because it lasts a long time and blends well with my skin tone. I have light eyes and hair and the light color tone is perfect for me even during the summer time when I am more tan. It is not a heavy coverage, as I do not use heavy coverage products or make up, so if you are looking for a full coverage concealer this may not be your best choice, however if you are like me and where light makeup and have a few breakouts that you would like to heal and conceal at the same time this is for you! Enjoy! ( :

Does Not Work - 1/12/2010 2:45:15 PM I bought this for my 18 year old son and after 2 full months he got no results at all. I had heard good things about Murad products but this one did NOTHING for my son. Very expensive for no results.

heals and covers - 5/23/2009 3:06:00 PM I was surprised to find that this product really does zap the zit as well as cover it. i temporarily ran out and went back to using a basic cover up stick and noticed the difference.

6 days later... - 4/20/2009 12:42:00 AM I have only been using the acne complex kit for 6days, and already i see a HUGE difference. My skin feels so clean and not irritated what so ever, causing less swelling,less redness and alot less pain. Even if i do go threw a purging period, i trust murad completly. PS: i think the pure skin supplments are a must if you have hormonal acne like me!All together...Murad is a real confidence booster!!

ok for the price - 11/26/2008 1:37:00 PM This product does good for what you pay for. i haven't had that great of success. Another user posted that results were seen overnight but I would have to disagree. It has taken 3 days for me to see any results. It has reduced the redness but it takes a while to clear up the acne.

Also waiting..... - 8/21/2008 8:32:00 PM Its now my second week of using Murad, i only have the facial cleanser. I didnt purchase the kit since i already have ZENMED products that are working well for my skin, and i ran out of the facial cleanser and the thing about Zenmed is that you can only buy it online so i went scouting for other products which you can buy in-store and i found Murad. I read the previous post explaining the

Murad's clarifying mask really helps control my acne flare-ups! - 7/22/2008 12:11:00 PM This is a great mask! I use it a few times a week and it really helps minimize the breakouts and keep my pores free of excess dirt and oil. I also love that it has licorice in it because it is so soothing and calming to my face.... especially since I suffer from rosacea, too.
