i used both. its just like washing your face with an acne cleansed then using a acne lotion it just helps to clear your skin faster.

answer 2
I use both and have noticed that the spray seems to be the more potent of the two. For instance, only using the scrub for a week after having a breakout produces limited results, but I start to see significant improvements after just a few days using the spray. Personally I use the scrub as a preventative measure, and the spray to treat breakouts.

Yes, I have broken out when I'm not compliant with using it. However, the break out isn't like a revengeful come back for not being compliant. It's nothing worse than what you had before using it. I can go 1-2 days without spraying without too much regret.

answer 6
I don't think I breakout anymore than usual if I stop using it. I use this spray every other day, sometimes three times a week. Just a light spray is all I use to conserve this expensive product. The problem that people make with this spray is using too much which causes two things to happen....1) it empties much faster and 2) it dries out your skin which is bad for acne because even acne-prone skin needs a moisturizer. I recommend using it and letting it dry before applying body lotion.

Will it stain your clothes?

answer 1
Personally, I have not had any problems with this product staining clothing. This is a salicylic acid-based acne treatment, and the ones that generally cause problems are the benzoyl peroxide-based treatments. Those treatments, while effective, have been known to bleach the pigment right out of any clothing they contact. You should be perfectly safe with this one though! If you are still worried, try doing an application before you go to bed, and wear an old t-shirt that you would not mind getting stained/bleached. Good luck!

I don't think I'd apply this to the face. Murad makes other products specifically for the face. If you were to spray some of the body spray onto a Q-tip, then I suppose you could apply it to a blemish. It would probably do what you needed it to. A better option would be to look into the rest of Murad's line. I just started using the Active Radiance from their Essential C line and OMG! It is amazing! I had a large amount of breakouts - kind of unusual for me - and I started to apply the Active Radiance at night. Within 3 days almost every blemish is gone! Good stuff!

Personally, I noticed that the size and redness of my existing blemishes was reduced after just two applications (once a day). I am still inside the first week, but I definitely notice a difference. If your breakouts are in the moderate-severe range, I would recommend starting out with two applications a day. If that starts to dry your skin too much, then just reduce it to once a day.

That's a hard question to answer and I'm sure it varies from person-to-person. I'd use it once every other day. Don't use too much or your skin will dry out. Also, try using a moisturizer on your chest if you haven't done so already. Acne-prone skin still needs moisturizer. Drying your skin out will have the opposite effect and cause more acne because your skin will think it needs to produce more sebum (oil).

I found it did help fade my spots. I once asked a dermatologist the best way to clear up scar spots and his reply was the only way to do so is to replace the top layers of skin with new skin..so that would mean using methods like acid peels or dermabrasion (sp?) for very dark/deep spots. If you have more time then natural fade products like BioOil, Argan Oil.
Tanning is also helps buy darkening all of the skin and hoping everything blends better. Good luck!

This product hasn't reduced or lightened any dark spots, post-acne marks or acne scarring, however it cleared my back, shoulders and chest breakout up in about a week.
