Pros:

Works very well (but it's not magic, so don't get your hopes up that your blemish will be gone in 1 nite, but it does clear it faster than other products I've tried!)

I noticed a few of you looking to buy it separately and not in the whole set! Well, say HELLO to eBay!! I can't afford the whole kit and kaboodle but you can totally but it individually on eBay! YAY FOR EBAY!! LoL

Pros:

The product does a great job of drying out my pimples. and it works really well on those big hard to get rid of welps. I really like the smell..haha.

Cons:

The package is too small. They send too much of the other products, and they dont send enough of the refining mask.

i think this product works better than the other proactive steps combined. i don't even use the repairing lotion it made my skin oily.

Pros:

It's really great for overnight use (spot treatments) it is also a fun thing to use as a mask, just add a little cucumbers to the eyes and voila! =]

Cons:

Smells a little sulfuric (it has sulfur in it) but it really isn't a big deal because it washes away with a washcloth.

It's a really good product to have. A+

Decent enough
I used to love this mask when I was younger. It worked very well as a spot treatment overnight. Unfortunately the rest of their line is awful and for the amount of money this costs there are tons of other mask options out there that work just as well or better.

Pros:

reduced redness
reduced size

Cons:

not completely gone over night
hard to remove

I've only used this product ONE night and I'll tell you from other products I'd used over the years this one showed results right away. In one day I noticed a difference in size and redness of a big existing pimple I have. Enough to make me jump up and down. It is not competely gone, but is much lighter and not as bad or noticeable. I am definitely going to keep using it for sure.

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. :)

Pros:

it works and i don't use it every day. every other day for me.. it smells oh so wonderful ;)

Cons:

it does REALLY work over night..

it works try it for 2 months. not 1 but 2 same for the whole system.. the first month its like this stuff doesnt work, you really have to use it consistently if your skin is bad. but it eventually will clear up.

Pros:

-It shrinks pimples when used as a spot treatment.

Cons:

-It dries out my skin so that I can't even use concealer the next day.
-It doesn't do anything when I use it as a mask.

I wish I could say that I liked this stuff, because it came free with my Proactiv system. It does not work for me. If I use it as a spot treatment, the pimple may seem a little bit smaller the next day, but it will be so flaky that I cannot use any concealer to cover up the pimple (which is still there). If your skin is oily, I bet it would work. If you don't use concealer, I say go for it! You have nothing to lose.

Pros:

Works Really good,If you use it constantly over night it dries it out..make sure to apply alot of it..depending on the pimple size,i realized it also fades dark spots a little bit..

Cons:

The smell,but o well..suck it up..get use to it

Works good,i use it for spot treatment..nott entire face the key is apply the damp of the mask as soon as u feel the pimple in ur skin,as soon as its born to kill it..

Pros:

It's simple to use. It reduces redness, and dries out the acne so that size of the pimples is visibly reduced.
It also smooths the skin, to make skin appear clearer and less irritated.

Cons:

It requires dedication..
Tends to be messy, and smelly.
Kinda pricey.

It's an effective system, but requires consistent and constant dedication. If you use it once, see results, and stop, you can't possibly expect long term results. If it's used systematically, day by day, it's a sure bet.
