Pros:

really reduces inflamation and dries out pimples quickly

Cons:

overly expensive like all proactiv products (get it on ebay cheaper)

the stuff works, but only use a couple times a week, because it will dry ur skin if overused. don't use the other proactiv products, all proactiv is, is benzol peroxide get for a lot cheaper somewhere else anyways, its a great product, worth the price i'm actually wearing the mask right now! haha

I love this! It is like a mini facial and after i am done with it my skin feels great! I try to use this twice a week and it really works! I sometimes use it to put a little dot on a pimple and it will be dried out the next day. I also got this free because mine came with my 3 step soulution. I thinks it's like 8 bucks if you want to buy it on its own.

Pros:

Reduces appearance and redness almost instantly.

Cons:

No negatives so far!

I received the sample with my Proactiv kit, I leave it on spots overnight and in the morning my pimples are on the way to being gone. Love it, and i don't think I could go long periods of time without it.

Pros:

Reduces Redness
Reduces Swelling
Quickly clears up acne-like rashes!
Can feel the toxins being pulled out!
Get in on Amazon! 12.5 ounces for $30! (Pack of 5 2.5 oz)

Cons:

Can be overdrying, don't use it too often

I just broke out horribly about two weeks ago. My entire cheek was just a huge acne rash. I used this every day for 4 days straight (applied a very thin layer for 10 minutes every night) and I literally saw a huge difference every single day. It was soothing and so helpful. Please put moisturizer on right after you wash it off though! It can be very drying. My skin is really used to it, though. Give it a try! :) My review on overall proactiv: Cleanser: Face is pretty much addicted. Tried to get off, horrible withdrawals. Back on it now. Toner: Doesn't feel like it does enough. It just dries out my face. **NEW lotion**: SUCKS. Burns my skin, irritates, reddens. The old one rocks :) I still have some left. It doesn't burn at all and it makes the acne go away fast. Give Proactiv a try; and buy it off of eBay or Amazon. It's so much cheaper!

Pros:

Got rid of almost all of my blackheads on my nose; saw those results after just one use. Dries out pimples well; saw that immediately as well.

Cons:

none

the refining mask is def the best product in that kid. the res of the stuff burns and dries out my skin but this step def works. i havent tried using overnight just yet but i will prob do so soon just to see if that makes much of a difference.

Pros:

it is the only product i have ever tried that has actually worked. i dont break out very often anymore but a very thin mask followed by the lightest moisturizer you can find on the night of the first signs and after a day its gone and another break o

Cons:

terribly expensive, funky smell too but its better than the complere sulfur rotten egg experience, thats a hard smell to combat. and i so wish i came in a bigger quantity.

you dont need a lot, litterally. used as a mask combined with a very sensitive cleanser and moisturizer and this is your best friend for life.

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!
