Pros:

controls oil
easy to use
long lasting
smells nice (:

Cons:

none, as far as i'm concerned

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:

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

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:

controls shine for a few hours
very lightweight
smells good

Cons:

kinda pricey, but worth it
stops working after while

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:

I really like this product. I don't know why other people have given it such negative reviews (I suspect cheaper brands trying to savotage proactiv). It does EXACTLY what it says it will do that is: balance oil levels and makes skin smooth.

Cons:

Maybe a little expensive but that didn't bother me as it is a product I like to use.

Oh well, if other people don't like it... don't buy it but I found it quite helpful.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Cost & Does not work

Didn't do anything for me after using it for a few weeks. I didn't see or feel a noticeable difference. It's like I didn't even use it at all. Waste of my money.

Pros:

Hydrates skin, reduces oil...sort of

Cons:

Doesn't banish oil completely

I like this product. I have VERY OILY skin, and i mean very oily lol! But since i use benzoyl peroxide i also have dry skin. This product works to moisturize my skin and it does help reduce the shine, however my skin still gets oily throughout the day. But whenever i don't use this, my face is super oily, so this stuff does work. I would give it a try. Plus, it's also helpful to use those oil-absorbing sheets too. Good luck!

MAKES FACE SO SMOOTH!
I was expecting this product to dry out my face after putting it on, but it has actually smoothed out my skin. I don't have acne scarring but I do have pretty visible pores on my cheeks which have become less noticeable. The best part, and the reason why I love this product and know it is significantly reducing the oil production on my face, is the way my skin feels around my chin area under my bottom lip. Normally it's bumpy from oil accumulation and no matter how often I would exofliate that area, I felt like it was a place where I would have permanent blackheads, now it's never been smoother! -and stays that way all day! I will admit, at the end of the day my face is still "oily" but my skin is in much better condition, can't overstate that it's way smoother and definitely producing less pore clogging oil. LOVE IT.
