Proactiv Solution Refining Mask 2.5 Oz

A highly effective ance treatment product, but…
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I found the mask to be so-so, but it must be said that Proaciv is a highly effective acne treatment brand but, here’s the catch – you have to keep at it. Firstly, it takes a few weeks before you see significant results. This is the case for any acne treatment product really – you just HAVE to be consistent and give it time. So, folks looking for a quick solution to their problem (i.e. – clearing up your skin in time for prom or a wedding, for example) will be disappointed.

Secondly, it is not a magic potion capable of “curing” acne. Once you stop using the product, your acne will return unless you take active steps to maintain the health of your skin. It is often believed that merely using a product can be the only change made to help your skin. Clear skin is about more than just using the right brands…. having clear skin is about understanding skin.

Overall, I’d say use this product if you can afford to consistently buy it. If you can’t, understand the ways to help keep your skin healthy since, if you don’t take those steps, it is HIGHLY likely be disappointed once you stop using Proactiv.

This item did not seem to help my grandson’s acne, even when used with the other Proactive products. I think Proactive is over rated.

very fast delivery, superb product that was brand new and perfect, saved a lot of stress, order it!

Didn’t work for me.

This product did not work for me when used as spot treatment and it smells terrible. It does, however, work for one of my friends. I think it depends on your skin chemistry. It was worth a try and since I ordered it on amazon it was actually affordable.

I bought this for my son, and it really works. He uses it once a day all over his face after washing with Pan Oxyl 10% (found in Walmart and drug stores) at night, and leaves it on all night. I have wasted a lot of money on many products, but have found that this was money well spent. By the way, we found that the regular Proactiv Solution 3 step program did not work all that well for severe acne.

I got the product and the shipping was smooth but I have been using it for a while and dont feel that it is original, it feels like a fake.

Not worth it. Is not how they describe it on t.v., “Dab some on and pimple is almost gone when you wake up.” Does dry you out too. Would NOT buy again. Proactiv is overpriced. Many friends have said it does not work. Don’t be sucked in by the stars saying it works. They are getting paid.

great product

This product is terrific. It works even better than the lotion. REally gets rid of acne fast.

This product works for all ages. I am 47 and my girls, ages 10 and 14 use it too. I will re-order this item. It is a “must have” for my skin care!

Love this product!

I tried the Proactive system when I was in high school. I didn’t feel that it worked any better than anything else I had tried already. But I absolutely love this mask! I use it as a spot treatment and it works very well!

Works great, but does not heal things.
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Pros:

Stops pimples from coming up (when you catch them before they break the surface)

Kills the pimples already up

Does not have a strong smell

Cons:

Very drying

Does not heal blemishes, just leaves them dryed out scabs

Does nothing for blackheads.

I have had luck with this. It stopped a serious breakout in its tracks, which has never happened for me with any other product. After that week though, I stopped using on large areas (my jawline, where I breakout the most). I now only use it when I feel something coming up, and then moisterize the rest of my face. All in all a great product, but if you have dry skin already, you may want to pass this up.

Great product

This is a great product. Would recommend it to any age group. Does what it says.

This is their best product

I’ve stopped using the rest of the Proactiv as I have found better for less. The one product that can’t be beat is the Refining Mask for acne. I have been through so many too…this to me is the best. I use it for middle-age acne and my daughter for her teen acne. It works!

AMAZING

I was once a Proactiv user and eventhough my skin is oily it became very dry. I quit using Proactiv and then realized I needed to use a spot treatment. I tried everything but it either left me looking blotchy or it overdried my skin. I ordered just this refining mask and use everytime I feel something coming on. It works over night! I spot treat lightly at night and in the morning I do the same under my makeup. I LOVE IT!! I hope it’s a product I’ll be able to obtain from here on out. =}

Good spot treatment.
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
So I’ve used tons of acne products, and when I say tons I mean pretty much everything that’s available in stores, and then several prescription products. I tried Proactiv, and it really only succeeded in drying my skin out and actually making my acne even worse. The only product in the entire Proactiv system that I actually saw good results with is this refining mask.

I don’t use the mask on my entire face, I just use it as an overnight spot treatment. I use a cotton swab to just dab a little bit on the surface of any pimples I have on my face, I let it dry, and I go to sleep with it on. Usually by morning the spot has reduced in size by at least half, or it’s completely gone.

If you’re someone who has dry, acne-prone skin, you’ll have to use it sparingly, because it does really dry your skin.

I can see Results

Very Good Product. My cousin used it, and I saw the results. I recommend it 100% satisfaction!

Great spot treatment
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Tried the proactiv line several years ago. Worked really well against my occasional breakouts, but had to stop using it when the products began irritating my sensitive skin. But I did continue using the mask just as a spot treatment. As soon I feel a blemish emerging, I put on a dab and it’s usually gone by the morning. And if I don’t catch it in time, the mask helps it go away quickly. I highly recommend it.

Good Mask

This is the only item in the Proactiv kit that has been continuously effective, to me. Everything else dries my face out.

Poor customer service
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Received this product in a manilla envelope the proactive had a large crack in the bottom and product was smeared all over inside of envelope. When contacted the distributor they told me to mail it back to them at my cost with a card inside the original package (which was covered with the cream) saying we wanted a new one shipped to us. Horrible customer service, will never do business with again.

My teen swears by this

My teenage son occasionally gets breakouts; he puts this on at night and says that it works wonders overnight.

Awesome!!

I love this product. It really works for me. I don’t use any other Proactiv product, I just use the refining mask to get rid of pimples fast! Doesn’t smell pretty, but it works!

Calming and Clearing
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’ve used this mask for years. When I was younger (teens and early twenties) I had oily acne prone skin and used the entire Proactiv system. Now that I’m 30 and my skin has dried out, I use this mask once, or twice a week to clear my pores and to calm inflamed pimples. It works best after a shower when skin is soft and the “gunk,” in your Tzone is soft, too. I apply, hang out for twenty or thity minutes and rinse with warm water, or exfoliate with a warm wash cloth. Results are not permanent, but for a few days at least, bye bye blackheads. Remember, for BEST results, use this mask after your shower, or steam your face carefully over a pot of hot water with a towel (to catch the steam) and apply when skin is warm and soft. =o)

its the genuine stuff

I was a little skeptical that this would be actual proactive, but it was. it smells jus like the stuff. and it works like it.

Great science!

This product contains sulfur, a non-synthetic antibacterial compound. In theory, bacteria see the sulfur and absorb it because it looks so much like vitamin D to them. Through an unknown mechanism, this kills the bacteria. Neat!

On a side note, i paid $9.50 for this product. Their price fluctuates daily, so add it to your cart and wait for the best price.

love this product

This product is a life saver. If you have a pimple starting you just put a dab of the mask on go to sleep and wake up the next morning and it is gone. Also if you use it as a weekly mask it leaves your face feeling so tight, soft and refreshed. Worth every penny

This stuff rocks

I have been using this mask for the past several years and love it. I use it once or twice weekly and it really makes a noticeable difference on my skin. I don’t like to use the entire Proactiv line, but this mask is awesome.

It’s an acne treatment.
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
The instructions on the package make it very clear this is an acne treatment. Too bad the on-line information down-plays this fact. If you don’t have acne…pass this product by.

Best spot treatment product
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This product is the best spot treatment product I have tried. My son has had issues with random breakouts and this, as is advertised… when you dab on spot at night – in the morning its either gone or noticably improved. They sell this product at our local mall but you could not buy as a separate item and had to purchase entire kit. Was happy to see it is now sold separately! You don’t use much so it should last for a while

Excellent product! The other Proactive products irritated my skin but this works well for spot treatments and also as a weekly mask if your skin is oily.
