Pros:

**in reference to this product as a spot treatment!**

-Reduces swelling.
-Reduces redness.
-Makes zits dry up fast.
-Helps soothe painful zits.

Cons:

-If you use too much too, or too often, it will dry your skin pretty bad.
-Hard to wash off.

This product has been my best buddy for a long time. It works great, it's fast and effective. I recommend using it after applying moisturizer, so that your skin doesn't dry up. Because I've learned that if my skin gets dry, I break out! But overall, I LOVE this stuff!

Pros:

- dried pimple
- works over night
- cleared oily skin

Cons:

- smell (so what though)
- have to buy whole kit

I use this lightly over my T-Zone and target pimples. I used to break out on my jaw line quite a bit but using this every other night with a moisturizer really evened out my skin tone and cleared it up. * If you have oily skin I HIGHLY SUGGEST USING A TOWEL on your pillow every night. Fold it and flip it making it good for a couple nights. It really helps keeping the oil off my face at night and stops me from sleeping in the bacteria I would have left from the night before.

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:

I do think it helps some. I used it as a spot treatment in a pinch.

Cons:

I think it can be very drying, I have combination skin and it would make some parts of my face feel tight.

I think it is a good part of the proactiv line and if you follow the rest of the regime this can be an important part of it. Especially for the occassional pimple.

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:

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.

I use this for spot treatment whenever I go to bed--Just put a liberal amount over affected areas & I see a HUGE difference in the morning. Couldn't live without this product!! (I've used this product for over 5 YEARS & it has never failed me yet!!!)
