Good for a little spot treatment

Pros:

Dries up problem area
Convenient

Cons:

Sometimes over-drying

This product was useful for treating a tricky spot or area.. It's not a miracle for acne.. but works like your average sulfer mask.

Pros:

~Redness and size of zits/pimples are SOMEWHAT reduced if used correctly.

Cons:

~It is hard to get off of your face after it has dried on pretty well.
~I would not recommend this especially to people with ezcema, as I have it and it dries my skin out significantly even with the use of moisturizers.

Okay product, but doesn't magically get rid of your acne overnight like what is claimed.

Pros:

Really good when used on individual pimples overnight - dries them out quickly and effectively. Used as a mask is good at absorbing oil and makes skin smoother.

Cons:

Isn't that visible when you put on a light layer - kind of looks like it's 'fading'. And it doesn't smell that nice - kind of like sunscreen.

Works quite well, but is at it's best as a spot treatment (overnight). Dries the pimples out and makes them heal quicker. Quite pricey, but otherwise a good product.

Pros:

Works well as a spot-treatment and as an all-over face mask

Cons:

Smells bad, has a gross consistency, hard to get out of the tube once you've reached the end

The only product from Proactive that actually worked for me! I don't use the Proactive line anymore, but I still have some of the mask left from when I did use it (althought I'm running out). It worked well then, and it still works well with my new skincare line. As an all-over mask it makes my skin feel really smooth and healthy. It gives my skin a really nice glow and immideatly soothes any redness. Since I have so little left, I tend to only use it as spot treatment nowadays. I put it on at night, and in the morning my zits are either gone or significantly reduced. I hate Proactive, but I love this product!

Pros:

It will bring down redness slightly
Dries up some pimples

Cons:

SMELLS AWFUL
Is not very consistent
Expensive.. and didn't clear up my acne

It makes pimples go away a little faster, but it's a pain in the ass to wash off, and it will get on your pillows and sheets if you sleep in it

Good mask bad system.
In high school I had no acne at all.. if I did get an occasional pimple I would use this and in the morning..gone. Since then, I've developed adult acne. Yay me! A year ago I thought to just give in and buy the proactive line before seeing a dermatologist. Only after a few days.. the line completely made my skin look awful, bumps everywhere!! But the mask itself can be quite helpful. Other than that, save your money with the line. I know more people with bad proactive experiences than good. Actually I never met someone with a good proactive experience. But I wish they would tell us the makeup they use on the commercials!

Pros:

Good for Oily skin, died out the pimple, feel fresh and clean after using

Cons:

Packaging, Smell

It's good for me, I like the feeling after using, geting fresh and feel like I got brighten skin. I have been using for 2 month, once in a week. It helps reduce having pimple in the time of having period, but I really dont like the packaging. And the price is also expensive.
