Pros:

it really helps reduce redness; and overall aperence of blemishes

Cons:

alot of people complained about the smell; i didn't seem to notice it that much. The consistancy is pretty thick but overall my favorite proactive product and maybe even my favorite acne product ever.

It works and is worth the price indeffinetly.

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:

It dramatically reduces redness caused by acne and other topical products.

Cons:

Price.

You can buy it in local malls, at booths. You can either buy it with the three step solution, or in a huge bottle alone. It is cheaper than orderng it over the hone or internet. It works, but you'll only know if you try it.

Pros:

Product really works. I use it more for an overnight spot treatment than as an all-over face mask. It really helps reduce swelling and redness of my cystic acne when used this way.

Cons:

It's not really that expensive, but it sucks that you have to order it. I guess that's why I use it more as a spot treatment as compared to using it all over my face. Oh, and it stinks!

It's a great product. I use it everytime I get cystic bumps, and I do see results as soon as the next day as far as size and swelling. It does take a few nights of use to get rid of the acne though.

Pros:

clears skin. evens texture. reduces redness. controls oil. works for on-the-spot treatments. like an all-in-one product. does everything you want in a mask.

Cons:

can dry out skin a little. cant buy in stores.

AMAZING stuff. i loooooove this stuff so much!!! just put it on, leave it on, wash it off, and voila! great skin is yours. (after a few uses) i couldnt believe some ppl actually said no to this product. i dont like proactives 3 step solution. this is the ONLY proactive thing i actually like. and i love it. try it. really is best thing ive put on my face (and ive tried ALOT)

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.
