It's actually crazy... the one side of my face has entirely flattened out today. Yesterday it was raised bumps. Murad Acne Complex seems to just dissolve the gunk under the skin.My right cheek still has raised cysts but I think by tomorrow morning they should be a bit better...

I don't know if there are any benefits. Usually people just moisturize like crazy because the dryness can get unsightly, uncomfortable, and/or itchy. There were days when I didn't moisturize because I wasn't going anywhere and felt lazy, but I don't think it effected the treatment one way or another...

Think it just depends how your skin is feeling...i couldn't go without moisturiser thoughperhaps you need to try a different one that isn't irrirating your skin - fyi I use dermalogica intensive moisture balance..

Moisturize the hell out of your skin...trust me..or do you like scars?..

Lol yeah right, you don't get scars from not moisturizing good god. Some people. I didn't moisturize at all when I was on Murad Acne Complex really .. just every once in a while with emu oil. I was afraid to honestly because moisturizers have always made me break out and I hate the way they feel, I feel so dirty wearing them. But now that i'm going back on Murad Acne Complex a second time, i'm seriously just going to start using whatever I want on my face.

I'm going to let people touch it. I'm going to go swim in dirty lakes and stay out all day without washing it and just not worry. Because i'm sick of letting this disease control my life...
