Pros:

I do think it helps some. I used it as a spot treatment in a pinch.

Cons:

I think it can be very drying, I have combination skin and it would make some parts of my face feel tight.

I think it is a good part of the proactiv line and if you follow the rest of the regime this can be an important part of it. Especially for the occassional pimple.

I was so disappointed in this mask. It burned my skin and didnt help acne problem.(it made some of them BIGGER and more noticeable. SO not what I needed it to do). Its really hard to wash off without scrubbing my face red, and my face was all red and irritated!

Pros:

I purchased and used the whole kit, but I would only recommend the Refining Mask. Other stuffs in the kit made my face dry and red ( like an old lady).

Cons:

Expensive.

Sulfur is good for the skin. Forget about benzoyl peroxide - it will dry your skin.

Pros:

I like it a lot, it felt and looked like it was really clearing my skin up.

Cons:

You can't just buy it alone, you have to buy the whole kit which is a little too expensive for me.

It works pretty well and if you don't care about the money, then buy it.

Pros:

If you want to look like you have a terrible case of sunburn, get it.

Cons:

It has burnt the top layer of skin off my face. The pharmacist and all the co-workers are horrified. My face is bright red, itches like crazy and the pharmacist said it looks like FIRST DEGREE BURNS! nothing is taking the redness away. didn't work

It burnt my face off and the spots are still there underneath the burn marks. I can see burn scarring starting on my lower cheeks. Did the patch test - no problem. Have only used it three times. Woke up like this. Cant go out of the house. Proactiv sales reps have no answers.

Pros:

I have no Pros. First time I used the product, the third step, I wiped my hands in a green towel, left the bathroom, when I came back the product bleached the towel. So I discontinue using it. If it bleaches the towel then what is it doing to my face

Cons:

And I have no cons, but sometimes I use the mask overnite, and thats the only product in the kit that works for me.

Some acne kits are not for everyone. I even tried Murad acne treatment, and saw no results. But the product burns liikkeee hhheeellll. Oh my gosh, it hurts. So I had to stop that too. With my kind of skin, my best result was at a dermatologist office. So find wats best for U

Only the mask works ... When u put it on ur face and leave it for ten minutes then wash it off with water.. your face loses all redness and gets soo soft .. its the only thing that makes me have no pimples at all . use clearasil foaming wash use oxy face wipes and use proactiv mask ull have nothin on ur face .. it worx for me and i have the most sensitive skin and you have to clear your face by doing your own facial .. get a mirror that zooms in.it'll work
