Pros:

On day 2 of using proactive, including the refining mask. t1.5 years ago I started having the worst acne ever - at the age of 26. I tried everything to make it better. In two days I am shocked at how much better my skin is!

Cons:

None I can see. If people are bitching about the cost, imagine the savings you will gain by not wasting money on other products that do not work.

I held off for over a year to try Proactive - primarily because I always think that anything I see on an infomercial is a piece of crap. All I can say is that I wish I had tried this a long time ago - I had the most painful and terrible acne in the past year - and in two days, it's already 80% gone.

Pros:

It's really helpful for overnight spot treatment...and then you wash it off in the morning. The pimples are a lot smaller and the pores are tighter as well.

Cons:

Wee expensive. Use sparingly, so that one bottle can last for 6 months.

It's a great refining mask, but just don't over-do it. Great for moderate acne-severe acne.

Pros:

really reduces inflamation and dries out pimples quickly

Cons:

overly expensive like all proactiv products (get it on ebay cheaper)

the stuff works, but only use a couple times a week, because it will dry ur skin if overused. don't use the other proactiv products, all proactiv is, is benzol peroxide get for a lot cheaper somewhere else anyways, its a great product, worth the price i'm actually wearing the mask right now! haha

Pros:

Effective at reducing redness/inflammation.

Cons:

The actual price.
The sulfur smell.

When I started using the ProActiv system (after a year, I gave up on it...), this came as a free sample, and I really liked it. It made my skin smoother and helped to reduce the size of my blemishes quickly without irritation. I'm not a huge fan of ProActiv -- they're expensive and I didn't have much luck with their system -- but I thought this was a nice mask.

Pros:

When used at night like the bottle says, as a mask, not a spot treatment, I definitely see a difference the next morning. It helps with the redness and severity of the acne.

Cons:

Doesn't clear it all up in one use like the commercial says, but still works great when used over time. Smells bad, but it's tolerable. Bottle is too small for the price.

Pricey for such a small bottle. Works well, but not instantly. If used like the directions say, you won't have a problem. Make sure you're not allergic to sulfur before you use it. Try it on a little spot on your face if it's your first time, just to make sure. I'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide so I can't use the other ProActive products (I get red and itchy skin), but this Refining Mask works great for me!! I don't experience any dryness or itchiness. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and clean. Although the smell lingers for a while. But that doesn't bother me. Also, I can buy it on it's own at our mall in one of those little ProActive kiosks and I've seen them at other malls as well. So for those of you who say you wish you could buy it on its own, you might want to check your mall to see if you actually can!

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.
