Recently published study shows no difference between Proactiv Solution, Murad Acne Complex and MaxClarity acne treatments \u2013 at least as far as results and side-effects are concerned.<\/p>\n
You could almost say that people with acne are superstitious. Many hold this weird belief that they just have to find the perfect product for their skin, and then <\/strong>they will finally get clear. The market happily complies and has produced countless acne treatments where the only difference is found on the label.<\/p>\n The thing is that your skin doesn\u2019t care about the label; it cares about the ingredients in the product. While this may seem like an obvious point, people often miss it. They may start off trying Proactiv, and when that fails they move on to Murad. When Murad doesn\u2019t bring results they try yet another product. But if you strip away labels and packaging you would be hard-pressed to tell the difference between these products, because the formulations are very similar. And you shouldn\u2019t expect wildly different results from products with very similar formulations.<\/p>\n A paper<\/a> recently published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology<\/em> confirms this. The paper reports of two studies comparing MaxClarity to Proactiv<\/a> and MaxClarity to Murad. These were split-face studies, where the participants applied one product on the left side of the face and the other product on the right side.<\/p>\n
