Pros:

great spot treatment!!

Cons:

can be slightly drying(but not really if you use it right!)

this is the only product that has really ever helped my acne, and i have used just about everything perscription and otherwise. the trick is to just use it on blemishes not on the skin around it when i get home in the afternoon i apply it with a q-tip to any pimples on my face(but NOt on the skin around) and just leave it on all night(even though u r only supposed to use it for 5min or so). if i have a bad breakout i will reapply before bed too. ive found the most success when using this along with accutane.

Pros:

works amazing!

Cons:

can stain your pillow-case if you use it overnight

This stuff works GREAT! The entire proactive line works great, but this refining mask is amazing! You can use it once a week to smooth your skin, and control breakouts, but if you get a random big pimple/zit - all you have to do is dab on some before bed, let it dry and keep it on throughout the night. In the morning you just wash it off, and the pimple has visibly reduced! Do this every night for a couple of nights and youre pimple will be gone!!!! yayness!!!!

Pros:

cleaning the skin very deeply and preventing pimpels and spots.

Cons:

Haven't experienced cons yet! Only, it doesn't smell that good and its a bit expensive. But who cares about that, IT WORKS! So use it!

For everyone who has pimpels and acne its a good treatment.

Pros:

I have been using Proactiv for more than a year and it cleared me up in 2 weeks. My acne was very bad and thanks to proactiv, I have clear beautiful skin...

Cons:

I agree that it's time consuming but it sure is worth it. It does NOT smell bad people are just too picky...

The best thing that has ever happened to me.

Pros:

The only of the Proactiv products which I found to have worked well - not overly drying like those containing benzol peroxide. Having sensitive skin, this product did not irritate and actually did improve the look and feel of my face (mild acne).

Cons:

Price. Like most Proactiv products, this too is overpriced I feel. As well, the Proactiv ordering system is terrible.

First off, let me tell you that I have tried a wide variety of medication and treatments for my acne. With a very sensitive face, I have not had much luck with the Proactiv 3 Step -- I found it to be overly drying, giving my face a burnt look. However, this product does work well with me. I have found it to dramatically improve the look of my face like none other. I do not plan on continuing with the use of the three step -- esp. those products which include benzol peroxide as my face had trouble with it. However, this product (other than price) is one in which I have been very pleased with.

Pros:

great products that reduces redness and swelling. i actually like the way it smells, unlike most people out there who have also used this product. clears and cleans skin.

Cons:

the mask can actually stick onto your skin and can be difficult to remove if it is left on skin too long.

i use this mask nightly simply because i have time to do so and keeps my skin perfectly smooth. the price is acceptable because this mask is simply incredible. in order to remove mask correctly you must wash afterward and use the toner to remove the residue left behind.

Pros:

My face looks really bright and fresh. I didn't have acne really bad but alot of blemishes from previous breakouts and at least two pimples on my face at all times. But it has really made a big difference, I have nice skin!!

Cons:

It costs alot, and sometimes can be a chore to wash my face so much.

It's worth a try, and if you stay commited to doing the treatment, it will work.....worked for me.
