User Reviews for Murad
1) The number of testimonies stating how Murad has effected them adversely is increasing pretty fast and most of the cases reported till dates are of unsightly cystic acne, dry skin, and redness. Some even got scarred for rest of their life.
2) The use of salicylic acid in its derivative form in the Clarifying Cleanser can make this effective skin cleanser a harmful ingredient. Instead white willow bark should have been use, because it is much safer and all-natural source of salicylic acid.
3) The Exfoliating Murad Acne Treatment Gel has salicylic acid but in a lot smaller amount. It is the case with the glycolic acids and this small effect hardly gives a noticeable effect.
4) The ingredients in skin perfecting lotion can be found in several generic formulas. The concentration of retinol is also quite low to make it an active ingredient.
5) Murad uses a typical sales scheme known as auto-ship in which users where given a 30-day trial “free”. If you fail to cancel the offer then you will be receiving the product for rest of the year and will be billed 30-day trial.
