Murad Acne Complex 30 day trial - Results

So before you go any further it feel there should be a warning , what you are about to see is very close up pictures of me with no makeup , and it is NOT pretty ......





I purchased the Murad 30 day acne complex kit ( £39) at the beginning of December and have been using it every day since . 

It came with-

Clarifying Cleanser  60ml
Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel 30 ml 
Skin Perfecting Lotion 30ml 
Acne Spot Treatment 7.5 ml
And a pack of wipes .

The proces goes cleanse , treatment gel then lotion . The spot treatment can be added to any active areas up to 3 times a day , and the wipes as a quick fix now and again.

I felt there was more than enough products in each of the bottles except the Skin Perfecting Lotion which I had to use sparingly , and still ran out a few days before the 30 days . The others I still have a little left to carry on with.

I really liked the cleanser it foamed up with water and was really comfortable and almost padded like - a bit like a shaving gel that foams up and feels thicker . The treatment gel did sting a little every time I used it, as did the spot on treatment . However I kinda feel a bit strange saying that I liked it as I feel like it's doing something .  The lotion was fine , after the initial week of my skin becoming really dry it did balance off and the lotion worked at moisturising the skin.

I can't say in the 30 days my acne has improved by much, whether it's just my skin purging and bringing everything to the surface before it clears or not , I can't see much difference. 
Where it has really helped is in my skin texture, there has been a marked improvement on how smooth and better feeling it is .

I plan to carry on with this for another month to see if it will eventually clear my skin as the improvement  in the texture alone is worth it .

I do think I just need to be a little more patient to see the full extent , so here is hoping .
It is worth noting to avoid if you have sensitive skin .

Murad Acne Complex 30 day trial




In utter despair with my skin and a recommendation from a friend I have decided to try the Murad  Acne Complex kit . The kit arrived with enough product for 30 days in which I am hoping to see some improvement in my skin.

The products include Clarifying Cleanser and wipes, exfoliating acne treatment gel, skin perfecting lotion and acne spot treatment. 

The key ingredient like many acne products is Salicylic acid which exfoliated the skins surface and removes excess oil, resulting in a smoother and even complexion.

And Hydrogen Peroxide which spirals deep into the pores blasting bacteria with oxygen and water . It removes all the bacteria , toxins and dirt to leave you with deeply clean skin. 

It claims to not dry out the skin which is my usual issue with these types of products , which can look more unsightly than the acne itself . 

I have taken a few before pics of my face today but not feeling confident enought to post them just yet , I will wait till my 30 days are complete and will check in again with a results post .
