Budget Pro-Active Substitute

[semo233]

I know there was a thread discussing this, but I can't find it now.
I stopped my Pro-Active deliveries and am hoping to find a nice replacement system that I can find in Target or WalMart type store.

Suggestions?

How difficult is cancelling the automatic deliveries?

I just called and told them. They tried to convince me to simply delay my next shipment for three months, but I told them no.

We have had the Target and it's not the same.

How difficult is cancelling the automatic deliveries?

Not difficult at all, I've done it a few times already as I said in different names of members of my family. I just tell them I need to cancel, they do try to convince me by changing terms of shipments, but be firm and cancel. It's really no big deal. It is just a 30 day supply, but I feel this stuff is on the strong side for my daughter, we only use it a couple times of week or during a bad flare up. That 30 day supply ends up lasting months. I also use a Paypal Plug In virtual type CC when paying so there is no way they'd be able to charge that card more than once anyway.

This isn't really about a solution or system to use, but my husband had problems for a while, but when he started exfoliating better (facial scrubbie) on a daily basis, it helped a lot. He rarely has issues now.

PinkRhombus: I don't use the ProActive every day and find that a gentle cleanser (I use Cetaphil) mixed with some baking soday to make a paste is a very gentle exfoliant. I use it in the shower where it mixes with the water and I use it on my entire body. It is also VERY inexpensive and very green!

I went to WalMart yesterday and bought the Nutrogena system. It looks easy to use and the oil free moistuizer is SPF 15. It was $20. I used it last night for the first time and the only thing I noticed is that the acne fighting lotion has a strange consistency that doesn't spread smoothly (could be that my dry skin soaked it up real fast). After putting on the moisturizer, I put more on my trouble spots to make sure it has a chance to work!
