Pros Keeps my skin not oily and usually if I don't use this product my face's is like shiny and if I rub my finger on any part of my face its like I rub my finger on butter.
Cons It slides of your finger very fast if you don't apply it quickly to your face.It really is pricey
Bottom line It works if you have oily face like mine or shiny and if you don't have skin like that then is pointless using it. for me I mean it works it keeps your skin nice but after a while you kind of have to add more but it is pricey.But bottom line it does what it suppose to do.

Pros First month works awesome, matte tzone keeps skin fresh. Smell isnt bad and fresh feeling once applied to the skin.
Cons After a few months, my skin was use to this product and slightly helped with the shine but after about 2 hrs, my skin is oily and shiny, make up feels heavy, rubs, really doesnt do much.

I find if you are a first time user this product will be fantastic
Bottom line I have very oily skin, one that leaves residue if rubbed against hands. My skin is extremely oily when i wake up and find that skin feels clogged throughout the day. I work full time and need to reapply make up twice a day properly and need to powder t zone about 4 times a day.

Pros controls oil
easy to use
long lasting
smells nice (:
Cons none, as far as i'm concerned
Bottom line I used this for 4 months, along with the rest of the proactive products and this was the only thing in my kit that i actually liked. I have combination skin, but in my t-zone area my face is VERY oily. I used this and my face was not oily at all. Even when i put makeup over it and wore it for a whole day it did not stop working.

Pros controls shine for a few hours
very lightweight
smells good
Cons kinda pricey, but worth it
stops working after while
Bottom line I used this product along with the entire Proactiv system for several years. I have extremely oily skin, in fact, I've never seen anyone with skin oilier than mine. It's unbelievable. Sometimes, I drip oil.

Okay, now with that in mind, I used this product to try to control my shine during the day. For the first month or two, it worked miraculously. It kept my face virtually shine-free for about 8 hours or so. But after a while, it just stopped working. So I stopped using it for several months, and then started up again hoping that my face was no longer "used to it." From that point on, I just used it on special occasions, when I was getting dressed up and wearing make-up. It works well. Just doesn't work forever.

Pros Controls oil; makes skin soft.
Cons None
Bottom line I have VERY oily skin, so it only helps with oiliness a little bit. I still get oil, but not as much. It'l take a few hours for my skin to oil up instead of right away. And I LOVE how it makes my skin so soft and smooth! I highly recommend this product for light to moderate oiliness, but even if you have heavy oil, like I do, this product can help to minimize it.

Pros Controls oil
Cons Face is oily after a few hours
Bottom line I apply it before i put makeup and it keeps my face with less oil production. But after a few hours I can feel the oil on my face and my foundation rubs off.

Pros This product works wonders. I live in a dry climate, but I have an oily face. If I use this, my face doesn't get shiny and it helps with break outs. I just put my make up on top of it and it's perfect.
Cons The price is a bit high for a poor college student like myself, but it's worth it if you have a lot of oil.
Bottom line I definitely recommend trying it and seeing if it works on your skin. I go to Oregon and it helps, but I still get a greasy face after a while, but it still keeps it from happening right away.

I highly recommend this product.
