Pros:

Dries up breakouts and reduces scar appearance.

Cons:

Stinky. Expensive. Drying.

My friend gave me the full size because she gave up completely on proactive, but I will continue to buy this. I heard it's expensive though. It's the only thing from proactive that works. I use it twice a week along with bp and jojoba oil. My skin is clearing up so well since I've come across this site.

Pros:

it helped to clear up blemishes and scars from old pimples

Cons:

it left my skin kinda dry

I keep using it because i see results, the first time i tried this product the mask was thick and easily covered my face. When i ordered the mask about 6 months after my first batch was done it was sticky and thinner. I noticed less results and was dissapointed...but its still working...slower

Pros:

Shrinks and calms pimples with first use, better results if you are consistent.

Cons:

Smell, and it can be drying if used too often. Also, I seem to find that the longer you leave it on, the harder it can be to remove from your face.

This mask is really great for reducing redness and swelling in pimples. I've been using this for almost 3 years now. I use it in the evenings after cleansing skin. I dampen my skin slightly and apply the mask, almost working it into my skin a little bit. I leave it on for 15-20 minutes and rinse, following with toner and benzoyl peroxide. In the morning, my skin looks a million times better. It's really wonderful and has only decreased my pimples- it has NEVER caused more. Worth the money! They make big tubes of this stuff, at least double the size of the 2.5 oz one....a wise investment!

Pros:

It has worked well so far. It has made a big difference in blackheads and pimples both large and small/

Cons:

I have the 3 step system and refining mask. I really don't like using all the steps and the time it takes.

Really it's about consistancy...I did not order the refining mask to begin with, I just had the 3 step system. In the beginning my acne actually got a little worse but what I didn't realize was that it was actually breakouts caused my the blackheads that were being cleaned out basically. I ordered the refining mask and I saw immediate results. I have never had any real problems with acne until Football & Basketball season this year but if you stick with this program you will see results. I have had large pores and blackheads for quite and while and those are clearing up almost daily.

Pros:

always comes free with the system, i personally like the smell, works on smoothing out oil and pimples even with inconsistant use.

Cons:

it can feel like your skin burns a bit when you use the syatem after the mask, the bottle is small but then again its only made to last a month.

LOVE IT and use it all the time when i get that rare pimple. And it makes your face tingle!

Pros:

It works, biggest pro is that it absolutely doesn't irritate your skin, makes your skin feel quite nice actually.

Cons:

Well i leave it on all night, and the stuff gets everywhere, all over my pillows, bed sheets, ect...But your not really supposed to leave it on all night so i guess its my fault.

It works, it makes everything less red, and calms/smooths the skin. Its kinda hard to wash off, i would suggest covering face before bed, then when you get up in the morning wash it off in the shower.
