Pros:

Treats existing acne very will. I will put it on a zit and leave it on over night and the next morning the zit will be gone or it will be much smaller.

Cons:

Doesn't prevent acne, just treats the ones you get.

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.

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!

Pros:

Will treat any type of blemish in 1-4 days.

Cons:

Sometimes does not bring the quickest results.

I got this product and I am only 11. I do not have acne, but I do occasionally get a pimple. I hate it, so I put a dab of the mask on the clogged pore, and it is gone in somewhat of a short time. I am a fan of it.

Pros:

-Dries out cysts
-Minimizes appearance of pores
-Cleans gunk out of pores
-Smooths skin

Cons:

-Odor.Bad,BUT if you have acne,the odor will not bother you as you'll just want to get rid of acne

I use it 2x a week,and as a overnight spot treatment.For me,I personally have cysts(pus filled),whiteheads and blackheads.This works good for whiteheads/cysts,and I also happen to have oily skin with large pores,so it helped minimize the appearance of my large pores,and it isn't over drying.I definitely recommend this to people with whiteheads,cysts or large pores.I got this in the $5.99 offer from ProActiv,so I got the whole set for $5.99

Pros:

Dries out pimples quickly, can be used as a spot treatment AND a mask, absorbs excess oils, controls oil, softens skin, good consistency.

Cons:

Sulfur smell.

I don't use this on a regular basis. I mostly use it as a spot treatment to heal pimples overnight. When I do use it as a mask, it does a really great job of getting rid of oiliness, and it keeps my face pretty matte for a while. I definitely recommend it.

Pros:

-Helps reduce oil
-Helps dry up zits
-Helps reduce redness
-Tightens pores

Cons:

-Only a mask
-The sulfur smell

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.

Pros:

Refining mask is a great spot treatment overnight or mask.

Cons:

Smells funny but thats ok.

I've had acne since I was 16 years old and now ten years later I finally found something that actually works for me. My skin is sooooo much better than before and the good thing is that you don't even need to use it everyday; it last a long time so you get your money worth. Try this if you haven't yet because I promise you it'll work wonders for your skin! If you can't afford it, try just buying the refining mask which you can find anywhere like [link removed] or [link removed] for about $5-$10 for 2.5oz. :)
