Sulfur may help dry and peel the skin as well as reduce acne bacteria.
It is usually applied 1-2 times per day.
hard to find stand-alone (i first got it as a freebie when i ordered the proactiv 3-step system). alone, it's a bit pricey (i found it on e-bay in a 4-pack, though, which wasn't too bad).
Totally sooths and calms my skin. Leaves skin soft, smooth, matte, takes care of all excess oil. does wonders for redness too
dries out my skin a little bit. make sure you moisturize. expensive too, and hard to find standalone from the rest of the proactiv kit.
The lotion was nice and it smells alright.
The gel was horrible. I would never trust another alpha-hydroxy product because of what murad did. It drys up the skin badly and I think the use of the spot on treatment right after which contains sulfer irritates the skin alot more.
this is the only product in the entire Proactive line that actually WORKS!!! but it is WORTH IT!!! I LOVE THE REFINING MASK!!! MY SKIN IS GETTING SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!:D
the price and...difficulty of finding it...you have to buy proactive AND the "special more expensive package"-_-!!!(i think)
clears skin in weeks.
treatment gel dries out skin.
really works wonders
smell
None
Lotion is greasy
That I can take it back to Sephora
It is horrible
Easily fits into most trash bins.
Expensive bottle of crap.
The right dermatologist can make a big difference to your patient experience and the success of your acne treatment plan. Here are the steps to find a dermatologist who is a good fit:
Only a select few plastic surgeons specialize in acne scar revision surgery. Be certain to find a provider who specializes in acne scar repair and who is passionate and experienced in this area.
Pros:
love it! works great. i mean GREAT! best mask i've used. and i think it smells nice/clean.
