PROACTIVE USERS...PLEASE LOOK

I use the Proactive system. I think it works amazing for me. The only problem I am finding is the cold weather. My skin gets so dry. I was going to purchase the Proactiv Solution Oil Free Moisturizer SPF 15, off the site but found it is $21 plus shipping. Does anyone know a place I can get it for cheaper or can you recommend a good moisturizer lotion to use over the repairing lotion?
Thanks

I decided after doing a little research on line that I am going to just switch the package that I get from proactive. I normally got the 3 piece system but for the winter I am going to get the 4 piece moisturizing package. It is $10 more and I think it will be worth it.

I use the regular moisturizer, I don't know what it is called though, but it has SPF. What is the difference between that and the repairing lotion? I just started ProActive, but it makes my skin really dry, too. Does that go away?

The repairing lotion is the one that comes with every package. It is the face wash, the astringent and the repairing lotion. Yes i believe that alot of people will have dry skin from proactive. There is sooo much benzoyl peroxide in these products that it dries out your skin. That is why I decided to change my order from getting the 3 piece set to the 4 piece set. The 4 piece comes with the SPF15 Moisturizer. It will stop my face from being so dry.....especially now that it is cold out.

i tried proactiv and though it worked great, it was too expensive. I looked on the bottle, saw that it's main ingredient is 10% benzoyl peroxide - i went to eckerd and bought Clean N Clear (the cream cleanser not foam) in the purple bottle for $6 bucks! And it worked great. I used it for years until my skin changed and it became too drying for me to use.

edited to add: I like Clinique's moisturizer - the basic yellow one.

I too have been using Proactiv for a few years. The moisturizer I like, and I have oily skin, is Clinique but not the yellow one, it's in a tube and it's clear. i can't think of the name but it's like one of the only moisturizers that doesn't add to my oilyness and doesn't cause breakouts.
