Pros:

It does suck up the extra oil on your face. So, it DOES work. Proactiv calls it an emergency treatment, which it is, though it won't make your skin flawless, just improved. I think it's fine to use it every other day AT FIRST if you have OILY skin.

Cons:

It's pricy! You have to pre-order it; so plan ahead. PRODUCT SHOULD BE IN A BETTER PACKAGE as there is lots of leftovers in tube--cut it open and there are 2 more uses, which dry out if not used in 24 hours.

Go for it. I use it with the 3 step Proactiv as well (for about 3 months). It is about 60% cheaper during the year than going on accutane. And no real side effects and it is much cheaper--try it first. But it does NOT solve the problem faster than accutane. Works as well as clyndomycin prescription. Better than other drugstore brands, though Neutrogena 5-in-1 is pretty good as a substitute. But learn as I am, Be Careful what you put on your face! Only non-comedogenic products--it must say it on the product before it goes on my face from now on!

Pros:

Works great as a spot treatment and sometimes as a over night mask.

Cons:

None

I don't know why I or anyone else is using this product. Before they make new products, they should make the 3 steps work just as well, I pay alot for them and I want them to work.

Proactive specialists tell you how to use it. Many people complain about how it makes your skin dry out or how it doesn't work or how you don't get enough in each bottle ( for the price ). I can't say I've had bad pimples or acne, but I like my face completely clear just like everyone else. The ammount they suggest for you to use is way to much, this is what is causing dryness and irritation. I have purchased this product once and got a sample of it to begin with. The product I purchased myself has now lasted me well over a year. I've still got that one tiny pimply a month on my face. You can't expect any product to have dramatic effects. First I began to use the '' Renewing Cleanser '' each morning in the shower using a fairly good ammount to cover my face and I used my finger tips to scrub only!!. The reason for using it in the shower is because 1. Your hands are clean in there and you won't get dirt on your face causing your pores to get dirty and then swell and turn into pi

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Does not work. Disappointing. Dries skin.

This stuff does not work at all. I used it on a fairly bad breakout, I washed my face and put it on before bed and woke up excited to see what it had done, I was disappointed. Nothing happened at all. It was like I put some white paste on my skin and when I washed it off naturally it didn't change a thing, and on top of that it dried my skin up. Moving on to shock number two. I looked at the ingredients in the refining mask and the ones in my CVS purifying mask (the green mud stuff) It's the same stuff. The only difference is that the proactive doesn't dry up so you can wear it overnight. Save your money and don't wait for shipping just go get some mask form CVS. Very disappointed. Do not buy.
