Good for a little spot treatment

Pros:

Dries up problem area
Convenient

Cons:

Sometimes over-drying

This product was useful for treating a tricky spot or area.. It's not a miracle for acne.. but works like your average sulfer mask.

Pros:

Shrinks pimples

Cons:

Takes a LONG time

I have been using this spot treatment on some pimples for the past 4 days and they are still not gone, however they are reduced by like 50%. Annoying thing this is that these pimples aren't even that huge. I guess my skin is just really stubborn?

Pros:

Felt like it exfoliated a lot
Helped to dry and get rid of already developed acne
Worked quickly
Lasted a long time

Cons:

Did not prevent new acne from forming

I found this from my mother's Proactiv kit (which did not work for her because her skin was too sensitive) and she said this was the only thing that she felt like it actually helped. So I gave it a try (that's why I'm unsure how much the item costed). It exfoliated, it smelt clean, it dried out already existing acne, and it lasted for a very very long time before it even got close to needing to be replaced. The only complaint is that it did not help control breakouts, it only got rid of what already surfaced. I would definitely recommend giving this a try though, it might work better for you than it did for me. Also, I liked the texture.

Pros:

I have no Pros. First time I used the product, the third step, I wiped my hands in a green towel, left the bathroom, when I came back the product bleached the towel. So I discontinue using it. If it bleaches the towel then what is it doing to my face

Cons:

And I have no cons, but sometimes I use the mask overnite, and thats the only product in the kit that works for me.

Some acne kits are not for everyone. I even tried Murad acne treatment, and saw no results. But the product burns liikkeee hhheeellll. Oh my gosh, it hurts. So I had to stop that too. With my kind of skin, my best result was at a dermatologist office. So find wats best for U

Pros:

works good maybe not the best thing but i would still recommend it

Cons:

It takes time for my skin to clear out with the mask.I only use the mask from Proactiv because i had a bad experience with the rest of the kit

depending on your skin it will work perfectly fine.

Pros:

It works. The only thing that has ever worked for me. Tried the whole kit. The rest of the kit sucks - burned and wrinkled my skin.

Cons:

Have to order online. Apply leave on 15 mins as directed then wipe off with warm water. Face is beautiful after but keep away from eye area.

I use it three times a week for maintenance. I have never had anything else worked. I have had acne for over 15 years and have tried everything. This is the only stuff that I would recommend.

Pros:

~Redness and size of zits/pimples are SOMEWHAT reduced if used correctly.

Cons:

~It is hard to get off of your face after it has dried on pretty well.
~I would not recommend this especially to people with ezcema, as I have it and it dries my skin out significantly even with the use of moisturizers.

Okay product, but doesn't magically get rid of your acne overnight like what is claimed.

Pros:

This stuff is great. I have really oily skin, and all those oil control products don't do much. I use this mask 3 times a week and I don't have problems with oil anymore.

Cons:

why don't they sell it at retail stores =(

For those who're complaining about the smell, get used to it. Sulfur smells bad and it's amazing how they managed to minimize the sulfur smell in this mask. I also have DDF sulfur mask and that smells at least three times worse.
