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:

Simply amazing. My nerdy doesn't like ever wash his face and one day I asked if I could use that mask thingy. I put it on for about an hour and then the next day my blackheads where gone. He said I could have it.

Cons:

I have both really dry and really oily skin, so since it dries my already dry part (forehead and cheeks) get dryer, but i got my moisturizer so its all good.

Amazing product, my buddy's mom buys him a thing of Proactiv 3 step ever 3 months and he just hands it to me so I get it at a good price. You can get it for like $20 bucks, so do it.

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:

really helps get rid of pimples, whiteheads and blackheads faster

Cons:

I spot treat so my dad thinks i look kind of funny walking arounf the house at night with little white dot on my face. lol it can also be drying so use a moisturizer before applying it.

Works good as a spot treatment. Best product in the proactive line!

Pros:

this is the only product in the entire Proactive line that actually WORKS!!! but it is WORTH IT!!! I LOVE THE REFINING MASK!!! MY SKIN IS GETTING SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!:D

Cons:

GET IT!!! IT WORKS!!! DOESN'T DRY OUT THE SKIN!!! MY SKIN IS SO MUCH BETTER AFTER ONLY A FEW TIMES!!!:D:D:D

Pros:

I don't use the 3-step. I saw this in my friends bathroom and couldn't resist, I had to get it for myself. It wasn't that expensive. I got it on ebay. I don't really notice a smell but I guess I like it. I sleep in it every other night.

Cons:

It's such a small amount and I hate squeezing out more than I need because then I have to use that much.

Awesome product! I'm hoping my skin will be flawless in a week.

I use the refining mask as much as I can because I can see it working on my scars. I have really sensitive skin and it drys my skin out so badly.... so I don't know if you have a bath and body works near you.. but they have a WHOLE line of organic products that are made to mosturize your skin. The cream works WONDERS! They have a website and i strongly suggest you try it for hydrating your skin. They also make a cleasner and a tonic for makeup removal. If I wear makeup, I tend to use the tonic and then my Proactive combo.. and follow up with the cream instead of the mosturizer Proactive sends. Just works better and my skin has felt so much happier.

Pros:

Dries out acne, even those deep pimples. Makes skin less oily. Smoother skin. Less inflamation.

Cons:

A lot of people complain about the smell, but it's not that bad, unless you combine it with other treatments. Also, they don't give you that much for the price you pay.

This product is a life saver. Two nights before my cousin's wedding I had one of those huge, red, and extremely oily cysts on my forehead. I put the mask on my entire face, concentrating the mask on my zit. I did this for two nights and I left the mask on for about 20 minutes. On the day of the wedding, the zit was gone.
