Murad

If you have been searching the drug store aisles for an effective acne treatment, you might be missing out on Murad Acne Complex.

Developed by Doctor Howard Murad, a board-certified dermatologist, pharmacist, and Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine in dermatology at UCLA, the Murad acne treatment system addresses the causes of acne as well as the symptoms.

In just four weeks, according to www.murad.com, participants in independent testing of the Murad Acne Complex experienced reduced acne symptoms. The skincare system consists of the following:

Clarifying Cleanser. This product treats acne by cleaning skin, lessening bacteria on the skin’s surface, and helping to maintain a healthy look.

Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel. Murad’s acne treatment formula includes ingredients salicylic acid and glycolic acid to get deep into pores, and clear them out without over-drying the skin, thereby reducing acne breakouts.

Skin Perfecting Lotion. This is a super-light non-greasy moisturizer that hydrates without clogging pores. It also reduces redness.

Acne Spot Treatment. This Murad acne treatment formula is anti-inflammatory and contains vitamins and minerals to help minimize breakouts and alleviate inflammation while protecting the skin.

Also available for acne sufferers is the Murad acne treatment for after a breakout, called Murad’s Post-Acne Marks Regimen. This acne treatment system consists of the Clarifying Cleanser mentioned above, plus these additional components:

Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Gel. This Murad acne treatment formula helps diminish and fade signs of past acne.

Energizing Pomegranate Moisturizer SPF 15. An everyday light moisturizer which gives skin hydration and sun protection after acne treatment.

The Murad web site makes the purchase of the acne treatment products a breeze in that money-saving kits are available; just drop the Murad Acne Complex Kit or the Murad’s Post-Acne Marks Regimen Kit in the shopping cart and you’re off toward clearer skin in no time. If you have a Sephora store nearby, you can find Murad Acne products there, and on the Sephora website as well.

In addition to easy shopping, the Murad acne treatment section of the website www.murad.com is very informative. Several reference pages are available, from an acne myths section to an acne “do’s and don’t” page. The site provides product use information, and there is even a skincare evaluation tool that will suggest to you what you need after answering a few basic questions.

A couple of caveats for potential purchasers of Murad Acne Complex and related treatment products: if you are pregnant or nursing or have sensitivity to aspirin or sulfur, get ingredient information from the company and talk to your medical professionals before purchasing these products. A quick perusal of internet reviews reveals that while some report fantastic results with the Murad Acne Complex Kit, others report worsening of acne symptoms.

Presumably, reviewers reporting adverse effects are experiencing sensitivity to some of the ingredients in the Murad Acne Complex products. Taking a minute to do a little bit of research, consulting with your doctor, and choosing a well-tested product such as the Murad Acne Complex Kit will ultimately get you to the clear skin you hope to see in the mirror.
