Can you use this to treat acne scars? If not, which product would be best to treat acne scars and would you apply it before or after moisturizer?
- Asked by Jenni
- Official Answer By MuradTo address acne scars we would recommend Invisiscar. It too is a spot treatment and helps to address pigmentation or indented scars left after a blemish heals.

Works like a charm!
I had hormonal acne flare up all over my face. I used this paired with Murad Acne Control Clarifying Cleanser. I used a drop of both on my Clarisonic. Followed it up with Murad Acne Spot Lightening Gel. Then sealed it with Murad Skin Perfecting Lotion. Went to sleep AND BOOM! The next morning my ski...

Absolutely Horrible
I love Murad products, but sadly this is the worst product they have ever produced. I had 2 small pimples on my chin & applied it before bed. Woke up during the night & my chin felt like it was burning. Washed my chin, applied an ice pack for the discomfort & looked in a mirror. My chin area was...

obsessed.
i LOVE this stuff. literally works overnight. i wouldnt say its great for sensetive skin because it can be drying, but holy cow does it tackle those big pimples. ive struggled with acne forever, and this is my holy grail. so much better than any pimple patch on the market. TEN OUT OF TEN
Works so fast!
I put this on a large pimple i got on my cheek. Just used a tiny amount and then applied makeup as normal. At the end of the day its half the size and much less irritated! You only need a tiny bit so the tube will last forever. Dont apply this on your entire face!! Its not meant to be used like that. Just a dab on specific spots is all you need. Im so glad it works under makeup so I can wear it morning and night. Super happy with my purchase!
Immediate results
I had a deep cystic pimple on my chin. And it was super painful. I put this on and in a few hours the inflammation went down. I had hormonal acne and I have been using this to help my breakouts and it is very helpful. I highly recommend if you have inflamed acne. I use it when I feel a pimple coming on and it really helps stop it.
AMAZING!
the last week i had MASSIVE breakouts on my face that were so painful and stubborn. i put this product on the spots for 3 days and by the 3rd night the pimples were completely gone. this product works like a charm, but it is definitely drying and drys out the area its applied to!
Great product, works fast
I've used this product 5+ years and continue to be impressed by the quality and effectiveness. It works great as a spot treatment or over a problem area. This is definitely one of my favorites.
