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.

Pros:

Works well to dry out the over abundant oils in your "T" Zone! The refining mask zaps the acne immediately.

Cons:

Refining mask Smells but thats a small price for beautiful skin. Lotion bleaches the towels but that b/c it has BENZOYL PEROXIDE...DUH..use white towels....simple solution!

Pros:

-Makes pimples heal fast
-Works overnight
-Doesn't irritate my skin

Cons:

-can sometimes be hard to scrub off in the morning, but not really a big deal

This should be used for those deep, or big pimples, but not for a bunch of acne. Use on INDIVIDUAL zits and pimples. It dries them up overnight and within 2-3 days they are usually completely gone. It doesn't usually leave scars either. I don't recommend using any other Proactiv products than this because really irritate the skin, leaving red itchy bumps. But I a very satisfied with the refining mask. *I first got the refining mask free with my proactiv kit, but then when I ran out of the mask, I bought a bigger tube for $5 on ebay (about £3 GBP) and I have been using this a little over a year now. Love it!

Results overnight
Clears area in 2-3 days
A little goes a long way

I've been using the refining masl for a few months and my skin has never been this clear before! I don't even need makeup anymore. It works amazingly! And the smell really doesn't bother me.

Pros:

Will treat any type of blemish in 1-4 days.

Cons:

Sometimes does not bring the quickest results.

I got this product and I am only 11. I do not have acne, but I do occasionally get a pimple. I hate it, so I put a dab of the mask on the clogged pore, and it is gone in somewhat of a short time. I am a fan of it.

Pros:

-Helps reduce oil
-Helps dry up zits
-Helps reduce redness
-Tightens pores

Cons:

-Only a mask
-The sulfur smell

Great mask if you have oily skin, but it doesn't really help all that much with acne. I prefer to use Acnomel as a spot treatment rather than use this mask because Acnomel has sulfur too but it's cheaper, has more sulfur, and can be found at most drug stores.

Pros:

works very well for a spot treatment, it reduced the size of my pimples. the really difficult pimples that just wouldn't go away went away and stayed away.

Cons:

the smell isn't very appealing the first few uses, the bottle says to only leave on for 10 minutes,commercial says overnight. overnight works, 10 does not. hard to wash off [easier to shower to wash it off so you don't irritate your skin]

a very good product, the best in the kit.

Pros:

i used this product at night.First i wash my skin with a face wash, then i dab my face to dry it.I put on the mask for about 10-15 minutes, wash it off and dry my face again, then use the renewing toner and repair lotion, and put mask on overnight

Cons:

My main con is how small the container is for the price

it works good. i Used to have really bad acne and i tried everything to get rid of it.I thoroughly washed my face in the shower but that didn't seem to do anything. Recently i tried to wash my face and try the mask for 10-15 minutes and then thoroughly rinse my face, and dry my face, but i dab dried it, i didn't rub it or it could irritate my skin. after that i put on the renewing toner and then the repairing lotion. i waited a little bit for that to dry, then i put on the refining mask and rubbed it on the more severe acne and i left it there overnight while i slept. After about 3-4 days i noticed dramatic results. My advice is...don't try spending a lot of money on all those acne treatments. Just make sure you wash your face daily in the morning, and then again at night. Follow my steps and you can see much better results. I hope my information helps.
