Murad skin system for female adult acne

I always had clear gorgeous skin then I had my last daughter five years ago around the same time I hit thirty. I have been super lucky no gray hairs and no wrinkles really to complain about. I have tried so many products from Neutrogena, Pro Activ and many other drug store or high end brands. A couple months ago when at Ulta I was recommended the Murad clarifying cleanser and their system for acne prone skin. Keep in mind I wear very little makeup usually I only wear eyeliner, mascara, bronzed of winter and some lipgloss unless I'm going out somewhere fancy or an event then I wear some extra but I have a great complexion and have never needed foundation.

I only breakout on my chin it I weird but my dermatologist told me this is normal for women over 30 and is hormonal acne. Unfortunately I have gotten it under control but not without scarring:(. I have been using the Murad clarifying cleanser along with Mario Badescu drying lotion for trouble zits and that is a miracle. Today I am going to buy the kit with toner and moisturizer. I use Neutrogena ultra sheer dry touch 70 SPF sunblock moisturizer in am and smooth 365 and vivite in the the evening for clarifying, smoothing and moisturizing. Love both products. The smooth 365 came from kohls and the vivite is super expensive I purchase this from my doctor. I also use Roc eye cream with retin a and younger lips cream cause I use to be a smoker and don't want those wrinkles and lines around my mouth one day.

The Murad has changed my skin amazingly and I would recommend this over proactive any day. They have a small sample size kit that I got and it lasted me 60 days or more, it is less expensive then the pro active kits an works way better. Pro active dried out my skin and made it look red. This was not flattering at all. Only pro active product I like is the green tea moisturizer and the dark spot eliminator but there are many similar products out that for less and work just as good.

Murad is sold online at their website or I got my kit at Ulta where I will be goin today before my dr appointment to grab some more love it

Favorite face cleanser and care products

I have weird skin. Up till I had my last daughter I had clear skin with occasional break outs around that time of the month. Then I hit 30 and had my second child. Now I get dark spots from sun, and what I call 30's acne. I only break out on my chin really and it is awful sometimes.

I have combination skin it's actually pretty close to normal but my chin is oily. I have tried pro active and every drug store facial acne cleanser, mask, scrub ad treatment. Nothing worked good. They worked but not like i wanted. I don't like to use products that dry out my face then I have sensitive skin, I have gotten swollen eyes and lips from products. I recently was so frustrated after going to the dermatologist and wasting money on microdermabrasion, peels, facials, expensive cleansers and scrubs then they discussed medicine which I researched and is not good on the liver or body.

What girl wants have acne, no one does not even just girls men too. It's hard. I don't wear makeup often so I can't cover it and if I do it makes it worse cause my skin isn't use to it and it clogs up my pores bad. I started to feel cursed since two years ago I have gained weight, lost energy, memory is crazy, and then acne. Anyways I went to ulta one day killing time I the lady there recommended like $100 worth of Murad products. I again don't like a lot of acne treatments cause it drys my skin that later leads to more wrinkles and I don't want that lol. I purchased a small bottle of the Murad clarifying cleanser. I also got a product i use to have and a bottle would last me two years, I would use it around that time of the month to dab on a pimple when it started the next am it was gone. It is Mario Badescu drying lotion. This is a miracle in a bottle, it dries out the area but just the pimple not entire face or area around it.

I used these two products with my regular skin care am and night. My face has changed and cleared dramatically. I also use Smooth-365 intensive clarity+smoothing peptide serum and Vivite vibrancy therapy, weekly masks that are all different some mud, clay, yogurt, etc. I use neutrogena ultra sheer spf70 every am and at night the Vivite. I have two other products I love one is eye treatment for under eyes and crows feet ROC retinal correction and since I smoked for awhile on and off I wanted to avoid the smoker lip lines so I use Younger Lips scrub and night cream. Works amazing

These are just a few products I have found that work really good. The Murad is not super expensive you can get a 2 oz bottle for $8.00 that's same as buying most drug store cleansers and this is amazing. Most expensive product I use is that Vivite but I didn't buy it got a free bottle from my surgeon from Allegra along with some free Latisse which I don't need sonic anyone wants some contact me have a month or two supply with applicators. Then was weird I haven't even used full first bottle cause you need very little but wrote Allegra and told them how much I loved the product and didn't know where to buy more, they sent me a compact, new bottle and some samples along with coupons to get more, which I guess only doctors sell it.

Check out the photos of the products I use and if you have any questions or need info on any of the items feel free to comment or email me all my info is under contacts tab:). I always love to help or let you know where to find something for less then retail. :)

Off to try to sleep lol it's 2:30 am here alarm goes off at 6:30
