Pros:

Reduces appearance and redness almost instantly.

Cons:

No negatives so far!

I received the sample with my Proactiv kit, I leave it on spots overnight and in the morning my pimples are on the way to being gone. Love it, and i don't think I could go long periods of time without it.

Pros:

*It works sometimes, but it usually doesnt help my acne, or it sometimes make my acne worse!!!

Cons:

*can be hard to wash off your face
*extremely drying

This product does work, but then other times it doesn't work Its drying But, if you have not tried proactiv or this refining mask, I recommend you give it a try, even if it does not work for you, at least you can say you've expirenced it. I give it 3 out of 5, Some days I love this mask, other days....forget about it !!

Pros:

-Clears face over time
-Makes pimples smaller really fast
-Reduces the redness
-Easy to use

Cons:

-Can be hard to wash off sometimes
-Dries the face really bad, recommend the Green Tea moisturiser
-Don't leave the refining mask on over night, it dried my skin and made extremely irritating

Use it and follow to instructions. Never leave the refining mask on over night!!! Also use it daily, make it part of your daily routine and the acne will be gone in no time.

Pros:

NONE!!!

Cons:

Made pimple worse!!!

All of the commercials tat say it will zap your zits overnight are lies!!! My zit was very small and you could not see the white puss yet when I put it on at night. The next morning I took it off to see that the zit became larger and more painful and noticeable! It was a HUGE rip off!

Pros:

Works on drying up pimples

Cons:

It smells bad, dryes up skin, hard to get off.

This product is overall 'okay' but if you put it on already formed pimples it causes this nasty green puss to form in them. Not as good as they say.

Pros:

Dries out your pimple very little

Cons:

Smell
Doesn't work very well

This mask is nothing compared to Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque, which I reccomend!! The refining mask is not very good at drying out pimples.

Pros:

Shrinks pimples

Cons:

Takes a LONG time

I have been using this spot treatment on some pimples for the past 4 days and they are still not gone, however they are reduced by like 50%. Annoying thing this is that these pimples aren't even that huge. I guess my skin is just really stubborn?

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Does not work. Disappointing. Dries skin.

This stuff does not work at all. I used it on a fairly bad breakout, I washed my face and put it on before bed and woke up excited to see what it had done, I was disappointed. Nothing happened at all. It was like I put some white paste on my skin and when I washed it off naturally it didn't change a thing, and on top of that it dried my skin up. Moving on to shock number two. I looked at the ingredients in the refining mask and the ones in my CVS purifying mask (the green mud stuff) It's the same stuff. The only difference is that the proactive doesn't dry up so you can wear it overnight. Save your money and don't wait for shipping just go get some mask form CVS. Very disappointed. Do not buy.
