Pros took away a little of the redness
Cons bad sulfer smell
did not help the pimple at all
Bottom line I've used this product quite a few times because I always hope it will work better the next time. So, I give it another chance. However, I always am disappointed with the results. It makes my skin smell bad and does nothing for the acne. It sometimes makes the pimple worse than it was before, or makes it more like a whitehead. It does not work for me.

Pros works great as a spot treatment, dries quickly, a little goes a long way.
Cons the sulfer smell
Bottom line definitely good to use in your arsenal, but only as a spot treatment. I used to use it all the time until my condition changed.

Pros None
Cons - Left pimple Dry
Bottom line My friend gave me her bottle of this product because for her it made her skin redicously clear. I wanted to try it to , so for a 2 days, I put it on overnight as a spot treament on one of my largest pimples. ( I just wanted to try it to see if it worked ) For me, it didnt work at ALL. it just left my pimple a tad bit redder.

Bottom line is, It will work for some, and stink for others.

Pros -Made my skin smoother.
-Cleared up a few of my smaller zits.
-Reduced the redness of my zits.
-Awesome spot treatment or mask :)
Cons -Sulfur smells funky.
-Do NOT leave the mask on overnight, it'll make your face all red the next day. If you want to use it overnight, use as spot treatment.
Bottom line Fantastic spot treatment, not too expensive and it lasts a long time.
Price paid $4.95

Pros Will treat any type of blemish in 1-4 days.
Cons Sometimes does not bring the quickest results.
Bottom line I got this product and I am only 11. I do not have acne, but I do occasionally get a pimple. I hate it, so I put a dab of the mask on the clogged pore, and it is gone in somewhat of a short time. I am a fan of it.

Pros -Dries out cysts
-Minimizes appearance of pores
-Cleans gunk out of pores
-Smooths skin
Cons -Odor.Bad,BUT if you have acne,the odor will not bother you as you'll just want to get rid of acne
Bottom line I use it 2x a week,and as a overnight spot treatment.For me,I personally have cysts(pus filled),whiteheads and blackheads.This works good for whiteheads/cysts,and I also happen to have oily skin with large pores,so it helped minimize the appearance of my large pores,and it isn't over drying.I definitely recommend this to people with whiteheads,cysts or large pores.I got this in the $5.99 offer from ProActiv,so I got the whole set for $5.99
Price paid $5.99

Pros Dries out pimples quickly, can be used as a spot treatment AND a mask, absorbs excess oils, controls oil, softens skin, good consistency.
Cons Sulfur smell.
Bottom line I don't use this on a regular basis. I mostly use it as a spot treatment to heal pimples overnight.

When I do use it as a mask, it does a really great job of getting rid of oiliness, and it keeps my face pretty matte for a while.

I definitely recommend it.

Pros reduced just a little redness
Cons over-drying the skin
Bottom line really doesn't help get rid of pimples, absolutely don't recommend, it just gives an impression it's gonna help first days then you realize it's just your hope..
