if proactiv is so great why isn't it in stores? i'm only 14 i don't have a credit card?

Answer 1

OMG, I just found out there is a product called Acne-Free they say its better than Proactive. You Can Find it at CVS. Check their website for more info. and other retailers.

But, If you still want Proactive you can find it at most malls in those set up stands in the middle off the mall walking areas (you know those vending stations people set up to sell stuff) I beleive. I found some at my mall here in Texas.

Answer 2

proactive is great! But, because it is a private company, they only do orders directly to individuals.

I'm prone to acne, and I'm 17 btw, and i used proactiv for several years until my mom wouldn't buy it for me. I couldn't find anything else [not as expensive, and that i could buy]. Now i use AcneFree...severe treatment, which sometimes dries my face out especially this winter. It works great, actually better, in my opinion, than proactive, and its a little bit cheaper $29 or there abouts.

They have it at Walmart, drugstores, even CVS.
I haven't tried the milder solution, but read the directions on the back and follow the weekly steps.

I also coordinate with whatever is wrong instead of following exactly what they have prescribed.

best of luck, hope this helps you.

Because they are making more money by selling it on-line or on TV. Remember Cortisol? The commercials for it were all over TV and radio. You couldn't go half an hour without hearing a commercial for it on the radio. It's now sold in Walmart and you never hear about it on TV or radio anymore. They sold as much of it as they could while it was "hot," now they are going after long-term sales in Walmarts and Targets, et cetera. They "sold the sizzle," not the steak. They created a demand for it, rode the demand for all it was worth, and now they sell much less but the sales are still there. Proactive will follow the same track. You should be able to buy it at Waltermart in a year or two...

They have it at little booths in the malll. As for how well it works- it really is great. A lot of people will tell you it sucks, but it doesnt. You have to use it for a while. I started to use it last February, and I didnt really think it was working. I was hanging out with some people in the summer that i hadnt seen since school ended, and they were all like "wow! your skin REALLY cleared up. it looks great" (i didnt have bad skin before just some acne)
You relaly have to use it 2 times a day every day. I also reccomend Clean and Clear dual action Mouisturizer in addition to the 3 step proactve. Good luck!!

Answer 5

Check out your local mall. They sell it @ a kiosk in the mall in my town. Also check out Bath and Body Works. Some of their stores offer Murad acne products that work just as well as proactiv!

Answer 6

you can purchase it in san francisco bay area local malls at the little kiosk things in the center of the malls.

i personlly don't like the product. made my sensitive skin even worse. Murad was better for me.

Answer 7

Well i got mine at the Woodlands Mall in Texas...but...just to help you out it didnt work that great! :( It made my face really dry! even after two weeks of using it.

Answer 8

Answer 9

the company doesn't want to slpit the cost with store names, ie wal-mart, wal-greens,....it is really good though, my sister had some and i use it all the time. it clears up problem areas really quick!
