Murad Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel Review

I had a major breakout quite recently, an event I’ve not experienced since high school. I mean it was very  scary. Desperate, I used Murad’s Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel, since they’re such a reputable brand in skincare.  But the bad looking skin was yet to come.

Let me get right to the point.  The gel has quite an intense burning sensation and even my normally hard-as-nails skin started itching & stinging.  Many Murad acolytes claim using it repeatedly eliminates the itching sensation, but I’ve done it and no.  No, it does not.  Each and every time, it has irritated my skin so badly that I had a compulsive need to remove it after application. Of course, being as loyal and hardworking for you guys as I am, I didn’t – I had research to do. Gel piled on giant zits, I spent 2 itchy, frustrating nights letting this stuff work its magic,  carefully avoiding touching my skin for fear of transferring oil or rubbing this stuff off.

So what happened? Actually, my existing blemishes got worse. I have no idea how Murad’s R&D decided that a high-concentration combination of retinol, salicylic and glycolic acids were a good idea for everyone’s skin. It might do a better job on teenagers trying every alternative to Accutane, but honestly, I kind of doubt it. Those kids’ skin is wartorn as it is, and the top layer might explode if this stuff touched it. I took every possible precaution: I only used it once in a week, didn’t use a large amount, tried it in the morning, tried it at night, skipped toner, and didn’t touch my face at ALL while it was on there. What else could I do?

I’m disappointed, Murad! I’m not listening to any more promises of “wait and see and try it this way”; the fact is, I’ve tried a thousand products with salicylic acid in them, and none of the others made me want to peel my own face off in agony. Stick with  Murad Acne Spot Treatment instead.

Murad Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel sells at SkinCare.com for $54, if there’s any reason you want to pay that much and not just get the damn Spot Treatment like I told you to.
