A member asked:
Could i use any kind of benzoyl peroxide over-the-counter gel or do i need a doctors prescription?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Over-the-Counter: Up to 10% is available over-the-counter and it is also the active ingredient in the ever-popular "proactiv", although keep in mind it may be difficult to cancel your subscription to Proactiv if you start. If there is poor response, you should see a doctor or practioner.
