This three-part acne system was developed by Dr. Howard Murad, who is a leading researcher in skincare. The three parts of this system are the Clarifying Cleanser, the Exfoliating Treatment Gel, and the Skin Perfecting Lotion. This process needs to be done twice a day, morning, and evening. On Murad’s company web site, they claim that their success rate is 90% within 4 weeks. However, we didn’t find any results from their “clinical study” that backs up this claim.
Murad Acne Complex Ingredients
The main ingredient in the Murad cleanser is Salicylic Acid. This is one of the best acne-fighting ingredients available on the market today. It wipes away the dead skin cells as well as other clogging substances that cause acne. It can help promote the re-growth of healthy skin cells. However, most research concludes that a concentration of at least 2% must be used. Murad only uses 1.5% concentration.
The Exfoliating Treatment gel inside of the Murad Acne Complex contains more Salicylic acid in a lower concentration as well as Retinol and Glycolic Acid. The Retinol is designed to help cut down on and control the oil production in the skin. However, it is not usually proven as effective as Silicol Dioxide. Glycolic Acid can also cause some negative reactions to this exfoliant. However, the concentration of Glycolic acid is so low in this product that it would probably be ineffective.
The Perfecting Lotion includes more Retinol and a good variety of botanicals, such as Queen of Meadow and Arnica. These ingredients are intended to soothe the skin irritation caused by acne and help improve the complexion. Queen of Meadow supposedly tightens the pores and minimizes oil production. However, there is no scientific research evident to back this up.
How To Use It
Clarifying Cleanser: Massage small amount over dampened face and neck. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel: Cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying the gel. Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily.
Acne Spot Treatment: Cleanse skin and apply quite a thin layer on affected areas 1 to 3 times daily or as needed.
Skin Perfecting Lotion: Every day after cleansing and toning, massage evenly over face and neck. For optimal results, follow with Murad sunblock during the day.

i really hated eczema because it does not look good and it is sometimes very itchy“-
retinoid creams are the best option when you want those pimples and wrinkles to disappear:-*
I have used the spot treatment before. It didn’t work very well for me, but that may have been because I wasn’t using the entire acne system. I have heard from other people who have used the whole system that it works very well.

Acne is just an initial reaction whenever our body has undergo hormonal imbalance state. It is when a certain hormone is gradually decreasing it’s production and function. But this can be treated through taking a supplement that will correspond to our body’s nutritional need to interrelates with our hormonal function. With enough knowledge that can be obtain through asking and as well as doing research there’s no chance that you can’t handle it alone. It’s just that acne is really a disgusting mark once it is spotted on our face.
