I struggled with mild acne on my face in my youth, but then it subsided until after college. At this time (for no apparent reason) I began to break out on my faceĀ again-- including my cheeks, which had never been an issue in the past. Luckily my younger sister (seven years my junior) was still in high school and my mother had purchased Proactiv-- including the refining mask.
In my experience, not only did it help to clear acne overnight when used in conjunction with the Proactiv 3-step system, but it also helped my skin to heal more quickly if I had been picking at it.
This is by no means a miracle cure, but if I feel as though there is a blemish under my skin and put this on for a night or two, more often than not it will not become a problem! After using it on my entire face for a few nights-- it dried my skin up a bit too much. A little goes a long way with it and just using it as a spot treatment has worked best for me.
