Murad Acne Spot Treatment review

my review of a sample of Murad Acne Spot Treatment I received at sephora.
FYI: I have combination skin-- oily + eczema.
main points:
1. there is sulfur in this product, so it smells kinda bad
2. it reduces pimple size (cystic acne) within 3 days
3. doesn't do much for redness and scars, but can be covered up with make up
So, given the state of my skin condition and the results I saw, I was pretty satisfied with this product.

** EDIT (7-26-09) **
Another FYI bit: I did NOT use the entire Murad acne system kit. I added this spot treatment to my regular routine, which includes the Ole Henriksen On the go cleanser, Olay complete all day moisture lotion (daytime), and Clean&Clear oil-free dual action moisturizer (nightime). I still have that small tube because I only use a small amount each time, & I don't think I'll run out of product any time soon.
FEMALES: I know that i don't have a great quality video, but I made this during the week of my menstruation & I barely had my usual PMS breakouts. If I felt some coming, I used the product at night. the next morning, the possible pimple was just a tiny little white head that popped by itself when I washed my face.

... I kinda rambled on for 12 minutes about this product, so I had to cut it down. I apologize for the choppiness of the video.

Do you wash it off?

[StarryEyedStina]

@tominthetux no you don't wash it off. you apply a small amount and let it dry.

The Murad acne spot treatment worked wonders for my skin. You should try out Philosophy's On A Clear Day Retinol Clarifying Lotion or their Help Me treatment. It helps reduce skin discoloration and post-acne scars. I've been using both of them for a month now, and the dark acne scars I had before are virtually gone.

thanks for the tip! post-acne scars have always been a concern of mine. i'll go try them out sometime.

i got this sample too! and i had the exact same thing happen to me with the cystic acne (that's pretty much all i get, i take birth control so it stops most of the white heads) and i am definitely going to go have to buy this stuff when i run out of it.

[StarryEyedStina]

yea, i'm very surprised and impressed with the results I had! I might shell out the money for another one, too.

I LOVE THIS STUFF! ive tried proactiv & neutrogena but they really didnt work. the rutine treatments that you use everyday feel great and that bottle for pimples works GREAT. it gets rid of zits soooooo wellll. I LOVE MURAD!!!!

taurine suppliments are a type of sulfur if ya lick one and rub it on your blemish leave it on overnight and your blemish will be gone it was kinda a home experement that made me blemish free add the tablets to your chemical free face wash for the prevention of future break outs

I used Murad Acne Complex, but I have to say, it wasn't all that good. Even when I used the sensitive skin acne complex, cause my skin is very sensitive, it really dried out my skin and my skin was peeling. I think this product is only for some people. But before you buy it, consult with a doctor first, cause I regret it.
