August 18, 2007

Pros:

clears up for a while

Cons:

the mask smells awful, it make my skin itchy and red, and the toner burns

I started with acne in april. I had a mild case, maybe three or four. Then i tried Mary Kay(that is bad!)which broke out my face even worse and after four months never cleared it up. So i switched to Proactiv. It worked for a while, then i got what you couldn't call severe, but pretty bad a case of acne. It says it should only take 2-3 months to cure, but i have been on this for almsot five, and i see no changes but more and more breakouts. Thanks to proactiv, i had to go to the dermatoligist.

Pros:

Smelled okay.

Cons:

Stained a bunch of my bathroom towels, pillowcases, and pajamas. Was not convenient to put on during the day because it would cause my skin to look oily or greasy. Too many steps to keep up with on a daily basis, the routine just got old fast.

For some people I guess this product works miracles, but for me, it peaked the first few days then completely flatlined and stopped providing any cure after that. I don't even have severe acne, just a mild case of teenage blemishes! I expected much more because of all its hype but it wasn't worth the time or the money.

Pros:

Cleanser wasn't half bad.

Cons:

Dried out skin horribly, turned my face a bright red, just really irritating. Didn't clear me up at all.

I decided to go ahead and give it a try since it was so advertised I was like "Oh what the heck?". I have to say, it had been the most horrible thing I have ever tried. It made my face itch horribly, turned my face red all over and didn't do anything for my acne. I don't even have my acne that bad, and it was still horrible for my skin.

Pros:

When it first came out and I tried it it seemed to work but it was too harsh for my face so I stopped. Then about 2 months later I re ordered and it seemed as if it was watered down cuz it didn't work at all for me. It was pretty much like a facewash

Cons:

THe mask does not do anything for me. It doesn't reduce my zit when I put it on the night before. It just looks even bigger in the morning and more defined..lol.. yuck. THey do send you refills even when you haven't finished with your first batch

TO each it's own but it didn't really work for me.

Pros:

Refining mask works well.

Gave me very dry and peeling skin for the first week. For the next three weeks I got no results, in fact my acne slightly got worse.
