Love it!!!
This mask is a 6% sulfur treatment, unlike most other topical acne treatments that use benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, and it worked really well for me. I found it worked much better for me when I put a dab of this on a blemish overnight. The pimple disappeared or decreased in size and inflammation, and if it didn't disappear, I would just do it again at night. Everyone has different skin, and even if you have sensitive acne prone skin like me, different things work for different people. Give it a shot though, and see if it works for you. This will dry out your skin a little, so make sure to moisturize, even if you have oily skin, because drying out your skin will urge your pores to create more oils to nourish your skin. Overall, this was an amazing product, although it does much more for your skin if you spot treat overnight with a dab of this mask. Hope this helps!

Pros:

This product can be used as a spot treatment or mask. I use it in the area with most acne, and leave on at night. In the morning, the acne is not as red and greatly reduced in size.

Cons:

It is expensive. It can make the small bumps go away, but it takes longer with larger pimples.

Good product, worth buying. It will reduce size of pimples and you will notice the area has less acne.

Love it!
I have really oily and acne prone skin so I always apply this to my problem areas overnight. When I wake up the next day my acne is either gone or reduced in size. For warning it does dry out your skin but that actually helps me because it makes me not as oily.

Pros:

This is the best product ever! I had raised white acne (not sure if it was even acne) and just after 3 days, it disappeared and it was there for like 3 months. Highly recommended. Order it on Ebay to save significant cash!

Cons:

No cons.

If you are ready to get rid of your acne, get this product...serioiusly!

Pros:

Works very well if used every other day or 3 times a week. I use it on my whole face everytime and sometimes reapply small dabs on the problem areas and sleep with it.

Cons:

Dries out the skin and an moisturizer is needed shortly after and highly recommended in the winter.

Highly recommended

Very Calming
I use a lot of Proactiv products. For some reason they just really work for me. I especially like this mask. I use this at least a couple times a week. I apply it to my entire face, and leave it on for ten minutes. You can also use this as an overnight spot treatment, but I've never tried that. The sulfur in this product really calms my skin down reducing angry redness. It also reduces oiliness. If you have very dry skin, you might not like this as much. However, it might work if you leave it on for say five minutes once a week.

Pros:

ProActiv. awesome. bought 3 2.5 oz packs for $20 + $5 shipping.
used 2-5 times each week overnight and results were excellent.
the first night of the week you use it, it only brings out your acne... seems to force all oils and acne to the surface. the second time, you'll barely see any acne and will have a much healthier looking skin-tone.

washes off easy with Irish Spring.

best value compared to any acne treatment + cost, besides Acnexus.

Cons:

gets my pillow dirty.

worth the usual $10 price-tag's effort, even if it doesn't work you'll be writing a review helpful for anyone who may have similar skin that won't work with this. i don't know... just try it.
