Proactiv Solution : Refining Mask

I've used this product quite a few times because I always hope it will work better the next time. So, I give it another chance. However, I always am disappointed with the results. It makes my skin smell bad and does nothing for the acne. It sometimes makes the pimple worse than it was before, or makes it more like a whitehead. It does not work for me.

came with the proactiv kit kit did not work and neither did this i used it as a spot treatment

If you want an acne treatment that works try THREE DAY ACNE by Chris Gibson.

turned the area around my face grey and did not get rid of the pimple, a terrible disappointment.

I have been using this spot treatment on some pimples for the past 4 days and they are still not gone, however they are reduced by like 50%. Annoying thing this is that these pimples aren't even that huge. I guess my skin is just really stubborn?

I remember right before I got married, I went to Sephora and bought a mask 'cause I thought it would make me glow for my wedding day. It was like $45 and I thought that since it was for my wedding I would splurge. Fast forward 10 years, I have 3 babies and skin that is worse than anything I ever had in high school. Someone recommended Proactive so I got this mask after reading some reviews. I thought $38 was a little pricey but I thought back to that mask I got before my wedding and just thought that is what masks must cost. I actually bought into the whole system but based on these reviews, I kind of thought this would be the one that actually was the main tool for active breakouts. Like a spot treatment or something. Not so much. After starting to use it, my skin got extremely dry and the breakouts were worse, lasted longer and came more frequently. I wanted to not only give it a good chance but actually use all the product so I ended up using it for a little over 5 weeks about every other night. Overall I did not have the same experience as most of the people I read here. If you see reviews of other Practice products, they are more in line with my experience with the products… not so great. I tried to cancel, got another order after I cancelled, same story as a lot of folks here. Good news is that I found a mask that actually did what I thought this one would do at like 1/2 the price. Ninja's sulfur mask is what… $20 or something? I use it a little quicker than I did the proactive mask but it seems to make my breakouts disappear over night and now I am not even breaking out as much as I used to which I give total credit to it. All in all I don't think you have to spend buckets of money any more for a mask for acne, maybe some of those fancy exfoliating ones you buy in the department store but for acne, go with the Ninja one. Much better bang for your buck.

as I noticed with all proactiv products they just dry out your skin...waste of money

Don't bother wasting your money on proactiv. Proactiv lies. - . - the stars are paid to say " this product is amazing!" my *ss - . - go to a dermatologist

The horrible egg smell ... I do not recommend ANYTHING from Proactiv.

it may be good if you have really oily skin. for me it was too drying.it actually burns my skin,and eventually makes my skin look even worse.i also can't stand the smell. my skin never liked any of the proactive products.it's just too harsh for me. but, on the other hand, i think you should try everything under the sun in order to find something that will work for your acne.so give it a try and see for yourself- maybe it will work for you. good luck!
