Sometimes worked, but most times did not work...
I purchased the Murad acne kit after highly recommended by a friend who also suffers from adult acne. It might work for my friend's skin, but for my skin it did not stop from having breakouts. It seemed to work better in the beginning, and healed some of the existing reddish pimples, but at the same time this gel dried out my skin (I have oily/combination skin). Thus, I did not use it for my entir...read moree face from the second time around, and I used it as a spot gel. Nevertheless, a few days later I still got new pimples. Just like many acne treatment gel, this one gave an itchy feeling.

But it's worth it :)This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful
