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.

Pros:

Works within a few uses, very relaxing on the face, clears small spots with ease with consistent use.

Cons:

Sold in such small containers, not as available as many other products.

It works. Best product I have ever used, including prescription topicals, top shelf products, and the extremely powerful pill, Accutane.

Pros:

clears skin. evens texture. reduces redness. controls oil. works for on-the-spot treatments. like an all-in-one product. does everything you want in a mask.

Cons:

can dry out skin a little. cant buy in stores.

AMAZING stuff. i loooooove this stuff so much!!! just put it on, leave it on, wash it off, and voila! great skin is yours. (after a few uses) i couldnt believe some ppl actually said no to this product. i dont like proactives 3 step solution. this is the ONLY proactive thing i actually like. and i love it. try it. really is best thing ive put on my face (and ive tried ALOT)
