Pros:

It works especially after PMS and those unwanted bumps appear.

Cons:

Such a small amount for the price the refining mask is worth every penny; however the other products can be substituted at your local drug store.

If you love your face (which I do) you shouldn't worry touch about the cost ... after all it is your face, the refining mask is worth every penny! p.s Drink lots of water for clear skin it's cheap and you don't have to order online. Also Olay has great products as well

Pros:

This stuff is expensive, but it does suck a lot of oil. And it does make my face look good.

Cons:

It's expensive, and you got to order it online, or by phone.

I really recommend this to anyone who was to suck up alot of oil, and get a cleaner looking face.

Pros:

Amazing spot treatment

Cons:

smells
burns skin
dries you out extremely
hard to get off
have to leave on for 10-15 mins

I am on day three of proactiv and wondering so much. Again today it was hard to get off my face, it smells so bad (main ingredient sulfur), and now I can't wash again until my skin goes back to normal. My skin feels rough from using it for the 2nd time. If this is normal please tell me. I am totally clueless to anything acne especially proactiv.

Pros:

Made skin less red looking and pimples less noticeable.

Cons:

Leaves your face smelling like eggs. Hard to buy by itself.

I've read several comments and have come to my own conclusion... I have sensitive skin that most acne products don't work on, they just seem to burn my skin and make it feel very irritated. I have mild-moderate acne, my face seems to react poorly with the OTHER proactive products and many other prescribed creams I've used (if this sounds like something you may be experiencing read on). So far i used this refining mask only once, but for a test i put if almost all over my face over night... The next morning one side of my face is completely clear because they were mostly small red pimples (along with the red colour of skin due to the "burning" experienced from the other creams ive been using.) The other side of my face actually had 1 or 2 bigger pimples in which they lost most of their redness and appear smoother and less noticeable. I'm aware of some of the potential long term effects (i.e scarring, immunity - bigger breakouts) but so far so good. If this sounds like you give it a try

Pros:

It works great as a spot treatment if you leave it on overnight. It either gets rid of the pimples or makes them smaller, and less red.

Cons:

Not the best smelling product & it's expensive.

It works, but if you use it too much your skin seems to become immune to it, or it becomes irritated. It's best to use as a spot treatment, or if you have a major breakout that you want to clear up overnight.
