What is Proactive I know its an acne treatment but is Proactive the name you ask for in the pharmacy?

You can't buy Proactive in a pharmacy, it isn't a prescription acne treatment, you can order it from the Proactive website or call them or in some malls, however I recommend buying it on Ebay, it's the same thing and it is much cheaper. However, I have used Proactive for over a year and honestly, it doesn't work much better then a good over the counter wash at Wal-mart....the only thing that I see work well is 1. Consistantly washing your skin twice a day, in the morning, and at night 2. Useing a product like ZapZit, if you have a particular acne bump(s) to get rid of quickly. 3. Exercising regularly helps. 4. Unfortunately, I have found that tanning helps, but it isn't healthy, but the UV light does kill the bacteria in the pores 5. Your doctor can prescribe medication for acne, but many do not like to, because the meds are harsh and expensive. 6. It's genetic, and not ';curable';. Sadly, many people have it their entire lives, I've had acne since I was 8 years old and I'm 21 now. It's frustrating and embarassing I know.What is Proactive I know its an acne treatment but is Proactive the name you ask for in the pharmacy?
No, you have to get that specific brand through the mail, online, or in specialty kiosks or stores at some malls. But, there are ';generic'; types of treatments with the same ingredient (benzoyl peroxide) that are available at any drugstore or walmart. One of them is called Acne Free I think.What is Proactive I know its an acne treatment but is Proactive the name you ask for in the pharmacy?
You can't buy proactive at the pharmacy. You have to order it online or by phone and get it through the mail, or some malls have proactive stands that you can purchase the kit at. Also remember to KEEP YOUR RECIEPT. If this product does not work for you, you can get your money back if you have your reciept and the empty containers and box. This product does not work as well as it says, so remember to keep the following.
You can't get it at the pharmacy, only off tv, online, or some stands in the mall have it.
Yes Proactive is an Acne treatment and you can only get it in the states by ordering it by phone or online. The reason it doesnt sell in Canada is because it has to much Bezol peroxide in it for the canadian standards. and no you can't get it in a pharmacy. Hope i helped
