Pros:

Love this stuff
Makes open zits smaller faster
Easy to use
Get alot out of that tiny bottle!

Cons:

Hard to buy when not buying whole kit
Doesn't eliminate acne really.

It's a great spot treatment, probably best i've ever used.. but it isn't meant to be used alone because it won't get rid of your acne! I used to use proactiv but now I use Dan's regimen because it's cheaper/better so it's hard to get just the mask! But it is a great spot treatment like I said!

It smells really bad , not something you could wear out

It does work for me 80% of the time Although the directions say to keep it on for 5 minutes then rinse it off i just dab it on the spot i need it on & keep it on over night

Pros:

It helped a little.

Cons:

When i used it to dry out more then one zit it burned my face. It left giant red welts on my face. It also made my breakout much worse.

This may work, but i would not use it if you have the least bit of sensitive skin. I also wouldn't use it because it scars.

Pros:

Shrinks and calms pimples with first use, better results if you are consistent.

Cons:

Smell, and it can be drying if used too often. Also, I seem to find that the longer you leave it on, the harder it can be to remove from your face.

This mask is really great for reducing redness and swelling in pimples. I've been using this for almost 3 years now. I use it in the evenings after cleansing skin. I dampen my skin slightly and apply the mask, almost working it into my skin a little bit. I leave it on for 15-20 minutes and rinse, following with toner and benzoyl peroxide. In the morning, my skin looks a million times better. It's really wonderful and has only decreased my pimples- it has NEVER caused more. Worth the money! They make big tubes of this stuff, at least double the size of the 2.5 oz one....a wise investment!

Pros:

Made skin less red looking and pimples less noticeable.

Cons:

Leaves your face smelling like eggs. Hard to buy by itself.

I've read several comments and have come to my own conclusion... I have sensitive skin that most acne products don't work on, they just seem to burn my skin and make it feel very irritated. I have mild-moderate acne, my face seems to react poorly with the OTHER proactive products and many other prescribed creams I've used (if this sounds like something you may be experiencing read on). So far i used this refining mask only once, but for a test i put if almost all over my face over night... The next morning one side of my face is completely clear because they were mostly small red pimples (along with the red colour of skin due to the "burning" experienced from the other creams ive been using.) The other side of my face actually had 1 or 2 bigger pimples in which they lost most of their redness and appear smoother and less noticeable. I'm aware of some of the potential long term effects (i.e scarring, immunity - bigger breakouts) but so far so good. If this sounds like you give it a try
