Proactiv Solution : Refining Mask

Great mask if you have oily skin, but it doesn't really help all that much with acne. I prefer to use Acnomel as a spot treatment rather than use this mask because Acnomel has sulfur too but it's cheaper, has more sulfur, and can be found at most drug stores.

a very good product, the best in the kit.

it works good. i Used to have really bad acne and i tried everything to get rid of it.I thoroughly washed my face in the shower but that didn't seem to do anything. Recently i tried to wash my face and try the mask for 10-15 minutes and then thoroughly rinse my face, and dry my face, but i dab dried it, i didn't rub it or it could irritate my skin. after that i put on the renewing toner and then the repairing lotion. i waited a little bit for that to dry, then i put on the refining mask and rubbed it on the more severe acne and i left it there overnight while i slept. After about 3-4 days i noticed dramatic results. My advice is...don't try spending a lot of money on all those acne treatments. Just make sure you wash your face daily in the morning, and then again at night. Follow my steps and you can see much better results. I hope my information helps.

I have adult onset hormonal acne (with PCOS) and it's very difficult to treat. For me, when acne is crazy out of control, hugely swollen and red, really painful and deep under the skin, this stuff helps me get through it. It helps severe breakouts resolve faster. It soothes the big painful blemishes, quickly reduces redness and swelling, dries pimples out, and makes blemishes come to the surface faster and heal faster. I don't think it does much to prevent acne and I wouldn't recommend it for daily use, but I use it whenever I am really fed up with my skin and it always noticeably improves my skin overnight. It isn't going to make your skin perfect all the time, but it helps when you are having a bad time. It's the best thing I've found to use for a spot treatment. When this stuff dries on your face, it's so absorbent it sucks a lot of crap right out of your face. It does pull a lot of the oils out of your skin so if your skin tends to get dry just be careful. You might not want to use it too often or leave it on too long, or you may just need to use plenty of moisturizer when you remove the mask. I see a lot of people on here complaining about the smell and I honestly have never thought that it smelled bad. I think it smells like clay or chalk. I think it's a clean soothing smell, not gross at all! It does contain sulfur so maybe some people are more sensitive to the smell of sulfur than I am? I've tried a lot of proactiv products and this mask is the only one that ever really gave me any results.

good quick fix to get rid of pimple redness and helps remove pimples fast. its difficult to wash off in the morning and can leave to irritation if you scrub it off. 4/5 cause it works as a quick fix but it doesnt prevent pimples so dont use on entire face only on pimples.

Great product. The whole proactive system didn't work for me, but i continue to use the face mask because it actually treats your acne.

Absolutely try this.

i was about 13 when I noticed I was starting to break out, my acne is somewhat irregular I have it bad somedays then somedays calm and very little. When I breakout sadly my pimples are big and throughout my chin I have tiny red zits. I started proactive when I was 14 since then it really was effective. The refining mask is the only thing that i use because the rest of the case was not useful. The refining mask does not permanently disappear your acne BUT it will reduce your specific pimple and or zit you want to get rid of. Its expensive for a little bottle but its worth it. It takes a few applications for it to be effective but overall good.

the stuff works, but only use a couple times a week, because it will dry ur skin if overused. don't use the other proactiv products, all proactiv is, is benzol peroxide get for a lot cheaper somewhere else anyways, its a great product, worth the price i'm actually wearing the mask right now! haha

the refining mask is def the best product in that kid. the res of the stuff burns and dries out my skin but this step def works. i havent tried using overnight just yet but i will prob do so soon just to see if that makes much of a difference.
