Pros:

This mask has 7% Sulfur, and Sulfur is known as (China Clay) It's a drying agent. It works really well as a spot treatment on breakouts to help make them less red,inflamed and drys them out!

Cons:

The price isn't that bad but Proactiv suggests having an Account with them so you'll get it cheaper. Its about 8$ for a 1 oz.

This stuff is great at treating those pimples that are red, big, imflamed and painful. I'd suggest putting it on at night and leaving it there as you sleep (as a spot treatment). By morning the pimple will be more calm and less noticeable. I've used this this mask as a spot treatment every night for about 2-3 years and it always gives me some results. No, the pimple won't be gone by morning but this helps alot in the healing process it drys it out so the pimple isn't there forever. And this is the only thing I can use on my skin as a spot treatment since I'm on Accutane and its doing crazy things to my skin/body. I'm almost totally clear, just about two more months of treatment. I no longer have blackheads and I don't breakout as much anymore. Good Luck to you all! I know how acne effects you because I've had it now for about 4 years and its made me super obsessive about it. My parents don't see how much it affects I wish i could talk to someone about it. I'm so off topic!

Pros:

It dries up acne really fast, I use it as a mask and spot treatment. My skin LOOKS and FEELS as if you were to touch a 6 year olds face.

Cons:

It smells weird, it's a super long process about 3-5 minutse to wash it off. If you don't put lotion on right after drying your face gets really dry.

I suggest you drink alot of water before trying this product, It's an amazing product and I totally love it.

Pros:

used it for the first time last week, kept it on a couple of hours. went to dinner with my family and they literally were raving about how my skin looked baby soft. not making that up.

Cons:

eh i guess the only thing is you probably cant use it every day. its just for when youve got breakouts

its probably not gonna work for everyone- but it definitely did for me.

Pros:

It clears blackheads in just a few minutes.

Cons:

The rest of Proactive does not seem to work on me.

Use it every few dayys overnight and you should see a difference in your skin.

Pros:

Works great!!

Cons:

you have to buy it with the package which SUCKS,because thats all i really need.

stop with the "smells funny" thing.if they put fragrence in it,it would break out your skin even worse.if it helps who cares what it smells like!!!so shut up!

Pros:

You only leave it on for 10 minutes,Reduces your red pimples.Reduces the size of the pimple. Leaves your skin smooth and soft

Cons:

The smell, yuck! If you use it on your whole face you look funny, that's it!

It's a great product! The best i've ever used. I don't know about anyone else, but my face was full of acne, and this really really helped. They should advertise refiner mask more than the cleanse , toner and lotion. This is great!

Pros:

It gets rid of redness fast and brings down the size, its way better than the other products.

Cons:

Its a bit pricey and it uses up fast.

It works but they should have it for cheaper or have a bigger bottle. Dont get the other proactiv stuff.

I approve; this tones down the redness, and improves the texture of my skin. It works for me.

Pros:

Felt like it exfoliated a lot
Helped to dry and get rid of already developed acne
Worked quickly
Lasted a long time

Cons:

Did not prevent new acne from forming

I found this from my mother's Proactiv kit (which did not work for her because her skin was too sensitive) and she said this was the only thing that she felt like it actually helped. So I gave it a try (that's why I'm unsure how much the item costed). It exfoliated, it smelt clean, it dried out already existing acne, and it lasted for a very very long time before it even got close to needing to be replaced. The only complaint is that it did not help control breakouts, it only got rid of what already surfaced. I would definitely recommend giving this a try though, it might work better for you than it did for me. Also, I liked the texture.
