Pros:

Love this stuff
Makes open zits smaller faster
Easy to use
Get alot out of that tiny bottle!

Cons:

Hard to buy when not buying whole kit
Doesn't eliminate acne really.

It's a great spot treatment, probably best i've ever used.. but it isn't meant to be used alone because it won't get rid of your acne! I used to use proactiv but now I use Dan's regimen because it's cheaper/better so it's hard to get just the mask! But it is a great spot treatment like I said!

Pros:

Shrinks and calms pimples with first use, better results if you are consistent.

Cons:

Smell, and it can be drying if used too often. Also, I seem to find that the longer you leave it on, the harder it can be to remove from your face.

This mask is really great for reducing redness and swelling in pimples. I've been using this for almost 3 years now. I use it in the evenings after cleansing skin. I dampen my skin slightly and apply the mask, almost working it into my skin a little bit. I leave it on for 15-20 minutes and rinse, following with toner and benzoyl peroxide. In the morning, my skin looks a million times better. It's really wonderful and has only decreased my pimples- it has NEVER caused more. Worth the money! They make big tubes of this stuff, at least double the size of the 2.5 oz one....a wise investment!

Pros:

Its okay. I still use it occasionally if i get a really red spot. It helps it reduce the redness.

Cons:

None i can think of only that it dosn't "zap" the zit overnight like they claim. Kinda expensive too.

I bought this to use as a spot treatment while i waited for my acne.org regimen kit to come in. It held off acne for the time, but now i hardly use it at all. I still have like a huge tube of it left which im guessing will expire before i use it up. Overall a decent product. The only proactiv product that does anything decent to help my acne.

Pros:

helps get rid of pimples....

Cons:

but only put it on like twice a week because if if you put it on too much you can actually break out more and it might leave scars

i recomend it but just use it wisely

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:

It definitely gets rid of redness and irritation better than anything else I have used. The smell doesn't bother me at all.

Cons:

I don't know how to get it without buying the whole proactiv kit, which doesn't work.

I'd love to be able to buy it separately--if I could, I definitely would. I don't know how it compares to other sulfur-based products though, which may work just as well.
