Just ok
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I had the opportunity to try out Murad's Biome-Balancing Clear & Prevent Acne Treatment Serum. I honestly wasn't too impressed with this product. I experience acne from time to time, mostly hormonal acne. I typically don't have much luck w...

Okay I have never written a review before but I feel like I need to for this product/brand. I was struggling with inflammed, painful, acne under my skin that never came to the surface for a whole year. Since i started using Murad, it has stopped. Idk what they put in their products but i'll never go back to anyone else. I did a lot of research and everything told me that i need to heal my gut. My new daily routine is taking Olly's womens multi (for gut health) then the biome balancing acne treatment serum and their environmental shield rapid dark spot correcting serum. Ive been doing this for the last 4-6 months and my acne is gone.
holy grail ??
i swear this stuff cleared up my stubborn closed comedones especially on my forehead. now my forehead is so smooth after dealing with the comedones for years FINALLY. as for active pimples, it does clear them up but don't expect overnight results. it also helps with the redness and bumpyness of pimples too. overall a good product!
Not so great
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] It only worked a lil bit while I was using it. Go this serum and I had my sister trying it out. Once she ran out of the serum she immediately started breaking out again, she's not so sure she will be giving this serum another try .
Amazinggg
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This brand has given me much better results than others I've tried. I personally love this packaging and I love the ease of use that it has. This is something I've bought for my family before and I give to them on holidays because everyone deserves beautiful skin.
Great
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This acne spot treatment saves the day every time! I didn't know what to expect was it the product itself but let me say it works wonders! I put the treatment on at night and by morning it has cleared most of the way. I know because of the clean ingredients! What i see it does is it dries the acne spot out and heals the barrier of the skin! Gets rid of redness also! It does not have a smell. The packaging is top notch!
