I just started to use the Murad Acne Complex ™ and my skin is breaking out even more, what do I do?

Whenever you begins using a new skin care line, your skin goes through what is called a "Purging Process". This occurs because the product is actively cleansing and bringing all the trapped oil & impurities to the surface of your skin, which can cause you to break out more. Your skin will also experience some sensitivity and tingling. Itchiness, burning and puffiness are not normal. We do recommend that when people experience this purging process that day continue to use the products, however we have included a modified regimen below so that the purging will be less severe for you. Please know that this process is different for everyone. We have spoken to some customers who do not experience purging and some have experienced purging up to 4 weeks. It was because of this process that we extended our money back guarantee for the Murad Acne Complex© to 60 days.

To ease purging, follow these steps:

In the morning:
Wash your face with a dime size amount of the Clarifying Cleanser. Rinse and pat dry. Apply a dime size amount of the Skin Perfecting Lotion (use more if your skin is dry). As for the Acne Spot Treatment, you may use that morning and night. Just apply that to each individual blemish, it is only a spot treatment. For the next two weeks use this very sparingly.

In the evening:
Wash your face with a dime size amount of the Clarifying Cleanser. Rinse and pat dry. Apply a dime size of the Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel and leave on your skin. Wait a few seconds to dry. For the next two weeks, only apply this product during the evening so that your skin may become acclimated to it. Apply a dime size amount of the Skin Perfecting Lotion (use more if your skin is dry). No Acne Spot Treatment in the evening for 2 weeks.
