Acne Treatment Reviews

What is Murad Acne Complex?

When you’re dealing with acne its hard to trust just any acne medication that claims it will work better than the rest. You’ve dealt with the low quality products for high prices and you’ve experienced the dry and irritated skin and whats to say this product won’t be different? Murad Acne Complex uses a 3 step process in dealing with breakouts. You can find “3 step process” acne medications a dime a dozen these days, so what makes this Murad product stick out above the rest?

What are the 3 steps?

• Cleanse: This cleanser is supposed to kill 99% if germs in one minute. To use you simply lather a small amount onto your face and neck, rinse with warm water, and pat dry. This cleanser includes Salicylic Acid which exfoliates the skin and clears hair follicles of dead skin cells. This prevents clogging and cellular debris build-up, which is often the cause of breakouts. Green Tea Extract is also included to decrease hormonal activity, one factor in the cause of breakouts. Finally, Menthol is used to soothe irritated skin.
• Treat: This treatment is designed to heal current blemishes while preventing future breakouts. This is meant to be applied after the cleansing treatment and absorbed into the skin for 10 seconds before moisturizing. Salicylic Acid is used again in this product, as well as a slew of inactive ingredients.
• Hydrate: This moisturizer is oil-free and is used to hydrate, soothe, and soften irritated skin. To use, apply a small amount onto your face and neck, even if you have oily skin.

Are there any side effects?

One of the bonuses of using Murad Acne Complex is that it does not contain Benzoyl Peroxide, one of the most common ingredients found in acne medications which also causes some of the most side effects. Treatments that contain Benzoyl Peroxide have been known to cause dry, irritated skin, the reason why Murad Acne Complex has left this particular ingredient out of it. Unfortunately that doesn’t take away all the side effects, as Salicylic Acid has been known to cause those same reactions. This product may cause dryness, redness, flaking, or a rash. This product does contain antioxidants, hydrators, and anti-inflammatories to combat these adverse effects but there is still a risk.

How much does it cost?

For $29.95 you can get a 30 day supply of the 3 step process. By becoming a Healthy Skin Club Member you can also get a few small “bonus gifts” and priority shipping. The catch of becoming a Member is that you will automatically start receiving 60 day supplies and being billed for that plus the shipping and handling. Murad Acne Complex does come with a 60 day money back guarantee, even for used products.

Is Murad Acne Complex worth buying?

With a nice money back guarantee and relatively low price, this product may be worth a shot for those with mild acne problems. Because this product only contains Salicylic Acid as far as acne-fighting ingredients go, those with moderate to severe acne problems should look for something stronger that will really fight those breakouts.
