WORKED BETTER THAN I IMAGINED!

In my late 50s I found myself with an acne issue all over my face. I purchased the after acne kit and the acne started clearing immediately and is now under control! Would definitely purchase again!Read More

SLMD PRODUCTS ARE A LIFESAVER!!

Started out with the Acne and once most of it cleared out, I started the After Acne System. My skin hasn’t been this clear in years!Read More

Step 1

Cleanse

After removing any makeup, squeeze a dime-sized drop of Salicylic Acid Cleanser onto dampened skin. Massage gently for up to 1-2 minutes and rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Step 2

Treat

After cleansing, in the evening, apply a thin layer of Retinol Resurfacing Serum to entire face. For best results, use daily and as part of a regular skincare routine.

Step 3

Moisturize

After cleansing and applying treatment product(s), apply Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer to entire face and follow with your favorite sunscreen during the day. Can be reapplied as needed to counteract dry skin.

SENSITIVITY TEST FOR A NEW USER:

Apply product sparingly to one or two small affected areas during first three days. If no discomfort occurs, follow directions above.

From Sandra Lee, MD

AKA Dr. Pimple Popper

Maintaining a consistent skincare routine is the key to keeping your acne under control long term. I recommend following a simple Cleanse, Treat, Moisturize regimen that includes salicylic acid, retinol and hyaluronic acid. This combination of exfoliating and moisturizing ingredients helps keep skin clear and balanced.

Best product for the freshness of the skin

The overall product is essential. I love the way my skin feels afterwards. As far as my dark spots, not so much I still have them all over. Hopefully I can find something to cure this skin problem

I love the way it

I love the way it feels and that you only need a pearl size amount for applications. I want to use it for a few weeks before I make any judgment on any changes in my skin.

I was so excited to

I was so excited to try this and it had the complete opposite effect. My face has double the amount of acne that I usually have. I tried the full system for a entire month. I was hoping maybe it just has to work through everything. But I finally had to stop because so many pimples were popping up. I will say I do like the spot treatment. But sadly the rest did not live up to what I had hoped it would.

Some products work better than others

I bought this set, after trying the sample. I notice that at times, I get small bumps on my skin, if I don't use my facial brush to cleanse my face. I'm mainly disappointed in the dual defender because it is blocked and I haven't been able to use it at all. I have noticed some improvement in my backne and that's a plus!

Not a fan of Dual Defender. The rest are great!

Honestly I'm disappointed with the Dual Defender. It felt too greasy and it actually made me break out. I've always had a good response with the Retinol Serum and Facewash but I guess I'll just have to get the BP cream and regular moisturizer.

Salicylic acid, retinol serum and daily spf

I love SLMD. My 50 year old skin has never looked or felt this good. Awesome stuff!

Can’t wait to see the results.

I like the products so far. I haven’t been using them quite long enough to see real results, but I can say that I’m in love with the hyaluronic acid serum. It’s so versatile and feels great on my skin. It’s helped my chapped lips more than any chapstick ever has. The body smoothing system makes my legs feel soft and fresh (even if I haven’t shaved!) and it smells great too! My only complaint would be the lotion doesn’t dispense quite right. But other than that, I’ve liked my entire order!

This stuff works!

I am very pleased with the products. It took about 2 months to get the adult acne under control. I do still get some whiteheads around the nose and an occasional breakout, but it is greatly improved.



I think the products are very gentle and effective.

After acne night time skin routine.

Not a fan of the non fragrant products. It is NOT a pleasing smell, I hold my breathe when I put it on but it does feel good on my skin. I usually put another fragrant moisturizer over it. The face wash does smell good though, wish it all smelled like that atleast.

Don’t waste your money

This product made me break out horribly and I’ve contacted customers service multiple times about a refund and have not gotten a response. They refund case by case and my co worker started breaking out really bad after using the acne system and she was given a refund. Horrible products and customer service.

Didn’t work bout for me.

Unfortunately the retinol really burned my skin. The nighttime serum caused major irritation after 4 days. I gave it all to my daughter who has no issue with it.

Not Good

Did not like any of these products. Made my pimples turn dark. I don’t get pimples often but this also made them linger significantly longer than other products I have used in the past. After a few weeks I stopped using the face wash and face lotion. The face lotion feels oily on my skin, I will only be using it when I’m on a hike or exercising outside. I’m still trying the retinol, but after 2 weeks I don’t see any difference. I will definitely be sticking to Murad Products, I feel like I just wasted my money on these. Will not be repurchasing and do not recommend.
