Pros:

Fights pimples faster than any other over the counter regimen.

Cons:

Smells Like s*&%

I recommend this product to anyone, like me, who has occasional breakouts. It works in a couple of days, if not overnight, and it's worth getting. If your like me and tried all the over the counter products and they didnt work, get this. It's the best.

Pros:

Results the very next day!
Clears skin fast, improves look and feel of skin. Doesn't dry skin out.

Cons:

Expensive for amount, not readily available in stores, you have to buy over the internet.

This product works better than anything I have tried. I do not like any of the other proactive products but I thought I would give this a try and I literally woke up with a different face. I have been having a really bad reaction with the most horrible break-out of my life from Clinque products and I have been trying everything to get rid of it from green tea, tea tree oil, nutrogena scrub and face wash and nothing was working until I used this mask. If you want actual results and quickly, this is the product. Just make sure you are not allergic to sulfer, which is what makes this product so effective. I ran out of the proactive so I did buy Queen Annes Masque because it also has sulfer, hopefully it will be just as good.

Pros:

feels nice in a way, doesn't make my skin feel tight, doesn't over-dry

Cons:

smells like playdough, does not work on pimple overnight

in the commercial it says the mask can, "zap problem zits fast." that is not true, however, i do find this to be a very nice mask (besides the fact that it smells like playdough) it does help with the redness on my face

Pros:

When it's used consistently it helps clear up my acne allot better than with just the three step system alone but yeah you need to use it consistently in order to work.

Cons:

It smells kinda bad and when you rinse your face the smell kinda lingers and their's a funky residue after. I recommend you only use it at night which is what the company also says you should do. It also leaves my skin dry if I leave it on to long.

It works great for me. I would tell you to try it. It doesn't work for everybody but still give it a try if you've never tried it. It's kinda expensive but it's worth it.

Pros:

Definitely removes flaky dead skin, and makes skin smoother.

Cons:

Not only does it smell bad, but that smell stays on my face the whole day!

Works well, but a bit harsh and chemically, and I don't like smelling it all day.

Pros:

works very well and makes me face feel smooth and healthy. I leave it on for longer then the 10 min. it suggests also.

Cons:

it doesnt work in one night like the comercials say. there is a noticable difference in the morning which is good but pimples are not completely gone.

Get it. Its soo worth it!

Pros:

did not leave skin to dry, and works well in the shower good.

Cons:

does not work well for active acne, might help with redness, but then again i still have ugly acne

i tried tea tree oil which works pretty good for me, i also tried applying lemon in my face and its okay

Cons:

the process takes a lil longer then normal washes....

I LOVE IT!

Pros:

clears pimples! cleans the skin! I love it!

Cons:

if you rinse your face with cold water it won't come off all the way and you're left with white streaks.

works very well! clears acne, and as long as you rinse your face with warm water it's good!
