Pros:

Sometimes it does work.

Cons:

Smell
Doesnt work that well.

I've had this product for a long time and it smells horrible. When you wakeup and take it off you can still smell it. It doesn't do a thing for my pimples. It sometimes works but not often. It does NOTHING.

Pros:

none

Cons:

burns skin
smells bad
didn't help at all

it may be good if you have really oily skin. for me it was too drying.it actually burns my skin,and eventually makes my skin look even worse.i also can't stand the smell. my skin never liked any of the proactive products.it's just too harsh for me. but, on the other hand, i think you should try everything under the sun in order to find something that will work for your acne.so give it a try and see for yourself- maybe it will work for you. good luck!

Pros:

-Reduces the size of the pimple a little

Cons:

- doesn't get rid of the pimple fast as adevertised
-hard to wash off
- unclear directions

Doesn't work as well as advertised. Unclear directions because the bottle says leave on for 10 minutes then wash off, the commercial has people saying they leave it on overnight.

Pros:

Takes away redness and shrinks the pimple...OVERNIGHT very very very very good for spot reatment The BEST.

Cons:

Um its hard to wash off! you should take a shower instead of washing it off over the sink it can irritate the pimple when you scrub it so I just take a shower that makes it work so well!

It just dries those pimples up!! I swear by this I do not like proactiv except for this item! *****

Pros:

It works excellent! The stench is from the sayticlic acid which smells like eggs :(. i leave on for 15 min and it works better

Cons:

Overnight treatment wipes on my bed, since I roll around alot and it has little result.

Overal it is very good best ive ever tried that hasent burnt my skin, it has just enough benzoil peroxide in the whole kit and excellent satilic acid content in the mask

Pros:

does dry out pimples. pretty good for spot treatment

Cons:

one thing i noticed after using proactiv for so many years which i am now thankfully off it! if i leave it on to long like accidently falling asleep with it on it seems to irritate my acne and cause white heads.

for me...its okay. i just cant leave it on to long or it does irritate my acne and cause some flare ups. as far as the proactiv system im so thankful i got off it. My skin was addicted to it for years and now i found kate somervilles 911 acne treatment kit and i absolutely love it. I dont recommend the proactiv but im sure using the mask as a spot treatment every now and then is fine. but as far as the whole system i highly reccomend you find something else. proactiv is TERRIBLE for your skin. causes premature aging and after using for some time your skin will become addicted and the withdrawls are bad break outs! i do not reccomend. but using the refining mask as spot treatment from time to time is fine. just dont leave it on to long! or at least i cant.

Pros:

it works well if used over time

Cons:

it smells like really bad oatmeal, the commercials are not true, i've used the refining mask overnight, and the pimples are NOT gone when i wake up, it barely does anything to them

i suggest using the regular proactiv treatments instead of the refining mask, because it takes to long, and hardly works fast.
