Pros:

-It shrinks pimples when used as a spot treatment.

Cons:

-It dries out my skin so that I can't even use concealer the next day.
-It doesn't do anything when I use it as a mask.

I wish I could say that I liked this stuff, because it came free with my Proactiv system. It does not work for me. If I use it as a spot treatment, the pimple may seem a little bit smaller the next day, but it will be so flaky that I cannot use any concealer to cover up the pimple (which is still there). If your skin is oily, I bet it would work. If you don't use concealer, I say go for it! You have nothing to lose.

Pros:

It's simple to use. It reduces redness, and dries out the acne so that size of the pimples is visibly reduced.
It also smooths the skin, to make skin appear clearer and less irritated.

Cons:

It requires dedication..
Tends to be messy, and smelly.
Kinda pricey.

It's an effective system, but requires consistent and constant dedication. If you use it once, see results, and stop, you can't possibly expect long term results. If it's used systematically, day by day, it's a sure bet.

Pros:

This mask has 7% Sulfur, and Sulfur is known as (China Clay) It's a drying agent. It works really well as a spot treatment on breakouts to help make them less red,inflamed and drys them out!

Cons:

The price isn't that bad but Proactiv suggests having an Account with them so you'll get it cheaper. Its about 8$ for a 1 oz.

This stuff is great at treating those pimples that are red, big, imflamed and painful. I'd suggest putting it on at night and leaving it there as you sleep (as a spot treatment). By morning the pimple will be more calm and less noticeable. I've used this this mask as a spot treatment every night for about 2-3 years and it always gives me some results. No, the pimple won't be gone by morning but this helps alot in the healing process it drys it out so the pimple isn't there forever. And this is the only thing I can use on my skin as a spot treatment since I'm on Accutane and its doing crazy things to my skin/body. I'm almost totally clear, just about two more months of treatment. I no longer have blackheads and I don't breakout as much anymore. Good Luck to you all! I know how acne effects you because I've had it now for about 4 years and its made me super obsessive about it. My parents don't see how much it affects I wish i could talk to someone about it. I'm so off topic!

Pros:

It dries up acne really fast, I use it as a mask and spot treatment. My skin LOOKS and FEELS as if you were to touch a 6 year olds face.

Cons:

It smells weird, it's a super long process about 3-5 minutse to wash it off. If you don't put lotion on right after drying your face gets really dry.

I suggest you drink alot of water before trying this product, It's an amazing product and I totally love it.

Pros:

used it for the first time last week, kept it on a couple of hours. went to dinner with my family and they literally were raving about how my skin looked baby soft. not making that up.

Cons:

eh i guess the only thing is you probably cant use it every day. its just for when youve got breakouts

its probably not gonna work for everyone- but it definitely did for me.
