At first some people and you may be one of them, may wonder why Murad even has this product in their lineup. After all, it's so similar to their Murad T Zone Pore Refining Gel.
Both are basically exfoliants. However; there are some substantial differences as to what the both of them are marketed for. T Zone Pore Refining Gel is for shrinking pores, while Murad Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel is for acne treatment.
So then, in light of the fact that they both are exfoliants, just what makes this product so different. The simple answer to that lies in its formulation.
You see unlike T Zone Pore Refining Gel, which lists glycolic acid as its main active component, ahead of the more milder salicylic acid. Murad Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel is formulated opposite of that.
Rather, it lists salicylic acid as its main component. Ahead of the stronger glycolic acid. This you see is why this product is advertized for every day use. It would also be a reasonable option to someone who finds that glycolic acid is too harsh.
Also there is one other active ingredient that's listed in Murad Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel that you won't find in their T Zone Pore Refining Gel and that is retinol.
Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A, that's included in a lot of skin treatment products for its alleged healing properties. The problem however, is that retinol is an oil and simply can't be absorbed by your skin.
Even so, you don't have to look far to find people that swear by it. Even if all clinical tests that have been done on it have involved oral applications. That is people who have taken retinol in pill form.
So my recommendation is that if you've found other skin exfoliators to be troublesome to your skin, this products my be your solution. Also if you like what you've heard about retinol, consider buying and using a pill form supplement.
Now as far as price is concerned, this product, at around $50 is definitely not one of the cheapest. Of course there are other skin exfoliators that you can buy for less but Murad Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel does contain Aloe Vera.

I've been battling acne since my teens, and now I'm in my early 30s. Tried this and didn't notice any difference in my skin. It didn't make it worse, but it didn't make it better either.
