Pros:

A good overnight spot treatment.

Cons:

It doesnt wash off that well. I like to be very gentle with my skin and it seems i have to really wash to get it off.

It's good to have, but I wouldnt recomend using it as a mask but its far to expensive and like I said, it can be somewhat rough on your skin. Its sulfur treatment, so if you know how your skin reacts to that you can base that way.

Pros:

It dries out pimples.

Cons:

It works, but still overpriced.

If they sold it at a more reasonable price and made it more readilly available...then I bet they would make more money. I don't know what their problem is.

Pros:

It does a nice job of quickly drying pimples

Cons:

It can be VERY drying leaving dead skin..causing more breakouts

I used this on the really big zits. Only use a tiny bit b/c it's VERY drying.

In the FAQ on the Australian site it says 18.When do i use the refining mask?
Always start with a clean face before applying the mask. Follow with the Toner and Lotion. The mask can be used with or without the Proactiv® Solution system.

Cons:

Pros:

Gets rid of oil; Face feels fresher.

Cons:

Causes more pimples if you use it on your whole face.

I don't really know about this product of theirs. It isn't something I use all the time. When I do, it just seems to give me more pimples where there wasn't any before. I guess sulfur is a no no for my skin. However it does make my face feel a lot fresher after I finish using it. Also gets rid of excess oil on my nose and forehead. (I'm saying not reccomended just cause the type my skin is doesn't like sulfur I guess)

Pros:

Love IT! Everything about it! Even like the smell! It gets rid of redness and smoothes your skin. I overuse it though

Cons:

Drys. Just use a lotion afterwards.

Good, Just not worth the $
