Murad 30 Day acne skincare system review!

        Through out hight school, I had great skin (big surprise huh?) Never had a problem with acne or any skin problem for that matter.... Till I went to Aesthetic school (skin care) and my face blew up like a rocket with skin problems, I had a pizza face =/ not a clear spot on me, so much red and horrible acne, my self a steam went way way down, I felt so ugly! Didnt know what to do, I tried and tried using different products that were "suppose"  to help acne, using chemical peels, natural ingredients, it worked for a while but never stayed away... Then I saw the Murad 30 Day acne skincare kit at my local sephora, I had to give this a try! if this didnt work I really have no idea what will, I thought to myself. So my journey began for 30 days every morning and night Id wash my face with this system, and I kid  you not the 1st week I saw the redness all over my face fading away and the acne slowly getting smaller and smaller till they all just vanish right before my eyes!!! I could not believe it!!!  It started working so FAST, By the time it ran out my face was totally clear! not a bump, blemish, acne scare anywhere to be found on my face!! after that I ran to my local sephora store and got the 60 day kit, I really can not live with out this skin care system!!!

        Some things to consider before you go out and buy the 30 day acne systemthis may not be good for people with dr y / sensitive skin, because it contains Salicylic Acid which can be very drying!!! and can cause your face to swell up if you are allergenic to this ingredient.
