| Pros: | Great at getting rid of blemishes. |
| Cons: | Price but if you only use it as a spot treatment it will last you forever. |
| Bottom Line: | I do not use this product as mask. Instead, I use it as a spot treatment for pimples. For that it is great! The blemishes dry out and disappear a lot quicker. Because I use it as a spot treatment, the smell is not overwhelming at all. |

| Pros: | Worked very well to remove bad breakouts on oily skin |
| Cons: | It's expensive for the small amount you get. And even though my face is excessively oily, my skin was severely dried out the first few times; neutrogena spf 15 skin moisturizer fixed that though. |
| Bottom Line: | Try it. I first bought the 1 oz. over the phone for 5.95 (w/ shipping and handling it'll cost you a total of about $12). Worked pretty good for me. Skin feels soft and the redness of my breakouts is reduced. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
| Usage: | Megan has used this item for a few weeks. |

| Bottom Line: | It works and is worth the price indeffinetly. |

| Pros: | Really helps reduce swelling and a oily skin. |
| Cons: | Kind of hard to wash off if left on over night since its sulfer and it gets real hard and it smells pretty bad. |
| Bottom Line: | Its a great product to try out, I wouldn't really recommend any of the other proactive products except this one. Read the ingredients before usage in case of an allergic reaction. |

| 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. |
| Bottom Line: | 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. |
| Bottom Line: | 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: | Seemed to dry out acne at first |
| Cons: | Stopped working after about a week. May have had a weird allergic reaction to it. |
| Bottom Line: | Used it for several weeks as an all over mask, and a spot treatment. Then one night after usings it as a mask and leaving it on in the bath for about 30 miuntes, I noticed that I seem to get a weird dizzy feeling, head spinning, and racing heartbeat. I actually ended up having to go to the ER. They ran test but everything was normal, but at the time it didn't even cross my mind to mention using the mask just 30-45 minutes before having to go to the hospital. I didn't make the connection until a week later when it happened again. I thought maybe it was just this product, but I also got the same reaction from using Bye Bye Blemish, which also uses sulfer. I'm wondering if anyone else has had a reaction to acne products containing sulfur?
(P.S. The ProActiv cleanser and repair lotion kept my skin clear for almost 8 years!) |
| Recommended: | Yes |
| Usage: | Lana has used this item for a few months. |

| Pros: | This stuff is expensive, but it does suck a lot of oil. And it does make my face look good. |
| Cons: | It's expensive, and you got to order it online, or by phone. |
| Bottom Line: | I really recommend this to anyone who was to suck up alot of oil, and get a cleaner looking face. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
| Usage: | Jim has used this item for about a week. |
