Pros:

banishes pimples and dries them out until your left with fresh skin

Cons:

container to small and the price

its a great product to use just alone, even without the 3 step system ive been using it for about a month and all my pimples have pretty much dried up. i recommend to use this because it actually works..

Pros:

It WORKS!!!!

Cons:

Having to buy the rest of the Proactiv system

This is a great product, but the rest of the proactive system dried my skin out so bad that I had to put Carmex on certain spots. I would love for Proactive to start selling the Refining Mask alone and not charging so much for it. I hate to pay the price for it, but it is such a great product that I am looking to buy it online as I write this. It is hard to find a product that works in the acne market. Proactive and all the celebrity's that have endorsed it have ruined their names in my book. My advice to them is to sell what works and drop the rest, or redesign the rest of the system. I am tired of paying for products that don't work and I think it's time for companies and their spokesmen to start being accountable for their claims. Yea! Proctive for the Refining Mask, Boo! for everything else.

Pros:

love it! works great. i mean GREAT! best mask i've used. and i think it smells nice/clean.

Cons:

hard to find stand-alone (i first got it as a freebie when i ordered the proactiv 3-step system). alone, it's a bit pricey (i found it on e-bay in a 4-pack, though, which wasn't too bad).

use it. it works. period. it's worth it if you hate acne and the self-consciousness acne brings. i had *bad* acne on my neck & jaw line (of all places). huge, cyst-like pimples surrounded by tons of white heads. horrible. ugly. painful. the mask go such a long way in a) clearing up that junk and b) preventing it in the first place. i guess it can't work for every single person, but it certainly works for me. you've got to give it a try to see if it works for YOU.

Pros:

Totally sooths and calms my skin. Leaves skin soft, smooth, matte, takes care of all excess oil. does wonders for redness too

Cons:

dries out my skin a little bit. make sure you moisturize. expensive too, and hard to find standalone from the rest of the proactiv kit.

I've only used this a couple days, so I'm crossing my fingers....But I think this could be what keeps me clear. Yesterday I could feel myself breaking out, my face got all hot and oily and red. I put this stuff on and WOW. not red, not oily. incredible. hopefully it keeps working. I'll update as i go along

Pros:

Lovely product. I was highly skeptical about proactiv but it works better than anything I've tried. The mask is excellent for slowing down break outs, and is great to help clear up your skin faster. It's also soothing, and doesn't seem too overdrying

Cons:

I'm very inspired by nature, and it has chemicals, but it works. The smell? I've read bad things about it, but I think it all smells clean and refreshing. =D Also the only thing about the mask is it takes an effort to get all of it off.

It works better than anything I've used. I started having acne problems around the early age of 10. I've tried accutane (NEVER EVER USE IT, IT'S HORRIBLE FOR YOUR BODY. I was on it for about two months, and I said this is horrible for me. NO WAAY), all different types of natural remedies, acnexus (was great for exfoliation and that is all) and more. I'm still taking antibiotics w/ it. Proactiv is simple, and it works. Once my skin is completely cleared I will SLOWLY wean my skin off of it. Just so I can use natural remedies that are good for the skin.

Pros:

It reduces redness of pimples and dries them up quite nicely.

It does work really well to reduce the redness of a pimple and dry it up. It's good as a spot treatment as well.
