Murad Acne Complex Review

Acne is one of those things that no one likes! Brought on by just about anything from stress to poor diet. There are many ways to help keep your skin looking and functioning properly and thanks to Dr. Murad skin care products and the Murad acne system you can get control of the problems that for some of us control our lives!

My impression of Murad acne system

I have used Murad for the past year at home and in the clinic where I worked and have seen it do some pretty amazing things. What I like best about Dr. Murad skin care line specifically Murad acne system, is that it takes care of clogged pores without drying the skin. Of course with anything if you over use a product it can adverse results so make sure you use products as directed. If you are using the product properly and consistently as directed you should see results quickly. I have seen the skin improve in just one facial with the Murad acne system facial. One thing I highly recommenced to anyone is to get a monthly facial and let the experts steer you in the right direction on your skin.

What makes Murad acne products so great?

With Murad acne products you will take care of the cause of the acne rather than just react to the symptoms. When the skin is taken care of with the correct products you can get control of the problems then move on to a different line of Murad products.

Acne is the clogging of the follicle’s pore that if left untreated can cause infection. This can be brought on by many reasons including stress, hormones, diet, not exfoliating and more.

Some of the main ingredients in the Murad acne system are:

Clarifying Cleanser Salicylic acid 1.5%
Clarifying mask Sulfur 4%
Murad Acne clearing solution Salicylic acid 0.5%
Acne spot treatment Sulfur 3%
Clarifying toner Witch hazel
Murad Oil controlling mattifier Octinoxate 7.7%, Zinc Oxide 3%, Ensulizole 1%

How Murad acne products helps blemish prone skin

In order to understand and help clients with blemish prone skin you need to know how it happens. The dirt gets sucked down into the pore by the sebum, this can result in a blackhead or blemish. Then the oil in your skin becomes trapped in your pore’s. The more oily your skin the worse this problem will be. If the oil that is trapped in your skin is not removed and your skin allowed to function properly, the trapped oil will cause bacteria to grow causing an infection which is the blemish.

Non-inflammatory acne is going to be your garden variety whiteheads and blackheads. One t hing I learned from a Murad trainer explained blackheads to me like this. When the oil comes in contact with the oxygen it turns dark.

Inflammatory acne the less severe of the two kinds have papules, which are inflamed bumps under the skin, and pustules which are inflamed bumps on the skin, what we like to refer to as “zits”.

Then we have the severe kinds of inflammatory acne with Nodules and cystic acne. What happens is the pores burst from the infection inside.

We will talk more in depth with each of these later, right now I want to talk about the Murad acne products that I love. I think it is important to note that when I recommend something in a kit, it is because I think in order to get the best results you need to attack it from many fronts. The Murad acne products do come in a kit. The Clarifying cleanser, Skin perfecting lotion, Acne spot treatment, Acne clearing solution and the Clarifying mask. I also recommend the Clarifying toner. If you have oily skin like me, I use the Oil-controlling mattifier which helps control oil for up to 8 hours.
