Pros:

Doesn't dry out skin, works well as an overnight mask

Cons:

A bit expensive, and such a little amount.

This product, although very expensive, is the only overnight mask that doesnt dry out my skin and actually works. I love it!

Pros:

it really helps reduce redness; and overall aperence of blemishes

Cons:

alot of people complained about the smell; i didn't seem to notice it that much. The consistancy is pretty thick but overall my favorite proactive product and maybe even my favorite acne product ever.

It works and is worth the price indeffinetly.

Pros:

Seemed to dry out acne at first

Cons:

Stopped working after about a week. May have had a weird allergic reaction to it.

Used it for several weeks as an all over mask, and a spot treatment. Then one night after usings it as a mask and leaving it on in the bath for about 30 miuntes, I noticed that I seem to get a weird dizzy feeling, head spinning, and racing heartbeat. I actually ended up having to go to the ER. They ran test but everything was normal, but at the time it didn't even cross my mind to mention using the mask just 30-45 minutes before having to go to the hospital. I didn't make the connection until a week later when it happened again. I thought maybe it was just this product, but I also got the same reaction from using Bye Bye Blemish, which also uses sulfer. I'm wondering if anyone else has had a reaction to acne products containing sulfur? (P.S. The ProActiv cleanser and repair lotion kept my skin clear for almost 8 years!)

Pros:

Clears up pimples even the painful under the skin type. My face is also red and after the mask it looks so much more even and brighter.

Cons:

Have to order it online and its expensive. But doc prescribed the same thing and it was 125.00. so the price doesnt seem that bad compared to that

I love it. Wish I could get it at local store. Would recommend it.

Pros:

Product really works. I use it more for an overnight spot treatment than as an all-over face mask. It really helps reduce swelling and redness of my cystic acne when used this way.

Cons:

It's not really that expensive, but it sucks that you have to order it. I guess that's why I use it more as a spot treatment as compared to using it all over my face. Oh, and it stinks!

It's a great product. I use it everytime I get cystic bumps, and I do see results as soon as the next day as far as size and swelling. It does take a few nights of use to get rid of the acne though.

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.
