I tried it because the testimonials sounded so good. After about 3 days of use, I got these small fluid filled blister like bumps all over my face. I usually only ever broke out in the T zone. It took using Benadryl and Ibuprofen, along with aloe, to calm it down. Then my skin got very dry and alligator like. I narrowed it down to something in the cleanser or moisturizer, because the exfoliating gel does not bother me. It was a horrible experience. I know some people on here have had success with Murad. It just isn't for everyone.
