Does Murad work better than Proactiv?

Question

I tried Proactiv a years back and it didn't work for me at all, in fact, what happened was instead of it clearing up the pimples I did have to begin with, it made them bigger and for some reason I got even more pimples...but I have heard from some co-workers that it worked for them and still does and their skin looks great so I don't know why it didn't work for me. I've seen Murad on tv and it says that it also treats skin conditions that look like acne aside from treating real acne too. I was wondering maybe if I have one of those skin conditions (and yes they do look like regular acne so I could see how they could be mistaken for acne, they show actual photos of the other types of skin conditions on the murad infomercial) and that would explain why proactive didn't work for me. But after being dissappointed by buying a product from tv (meaning Proactiv, of course) now I just don't want to go through that all over again by buying Murad. Please tell me, if you've used both, what is

best and what results did you see and how long did it take for your skin to clear up.

Also, on my skin, I never have squeezed any of the pimples but I'm half polynesian so I'm olive toned and when the pimples go away they still leave little red marks where they were...so have you had this and did the murad take it away?

Answer 1

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!! I used Proactiv for 10 months and it barely did anything for me... One of the things that Proactiv does wrong is putting benzoyl peroxide in it!!! It is like poisin to the skin.... Murad is so amazing! I used it and after 90 days, my skin is like porceline!!! I used to have acne that swallowed my face!!!!! I was so happy, I cried! Dr. Murad is a genius and he really knows skin.... Try it for 90 days and I can guarantee you it will be the best it's ever been..... 7 of my friends and family have has extreme acne and they all tried it and now we all feel so good about ourselves. You don't have to order it from tv..... it is way easier to get it at Sephora! Try it and you won't regret it! Best of wishes to you my friend! ^_^

nicely proactiv would not artwork for everyones skin. It definatly did no longer artwork for me. i've got not used murad nevertheless, so i could no longer say which is going extra perfect. authentic now im utilising pimples-loose, and its working stable so some distance, in basic terms used it for a month or so nevertheless.

Answer 3

if proactiv didnt work for you then you are probably sensitive to benzoyl peroxide, you should find out if that is the ingredient in Murad and if it is dont even waste your time or money because it is a very expensive product. if that is what you are sensitive to i would recommend using a pure glycerin soap like Basis, Dove, or Purpose and a gental moisturizer like Cetaphil, those are all very inexpensive and they are suggestions from my dr because my skin is so sensitive to everything

raw unpasturized apple cider vinegar..
the following 2 testimonials can be seen at http://www.earthclinic.com/cures/acne.ht...
Angelina O, has found that applying ACV topically to her face several times a day (4 or more times) has cured her of a "very bad complexion". She reports that she applies it straight and that while it burns her skin a bit, it still works like a miracle!

Cheryl writes, "My daughter developed a case of moderate acne, and after trying a number of different things for over a year which helped very little or not at all, she started drinking 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar three times a day and applying it topically once at night. She has been acne free for two months. It took about three weeks to clear up."

you can get the vinegar at the health food store, or in some super markets.
