Proactiv Solution products have become widely popular for clearing up bad acne. Their products gained a following through infomercial ads, mostly running late at night. For many years, the only way it could be purchased was by using the phone number given by the infomercial. There are now several places to buy Proactiv; many places sell it at a discount.

The cheapest places to buy Proactiv are online. Many websites sell the product line at a discount. However, you should be aware of fake Proactiv products and knockoff brands that may even look like Proactiv products.

One of the best places to buy Proactiv products is actually a website and a TV channel. The home shopping channel, QVC sells Proactiv at a discounted rate and they are a reputable company. You have 30 days to return a product if you're dissatisfied and there is a customer service number. Along those same lines, there is The Shopping Channel, which also sells the products online.

Amazon sells Proactiv products, and while some products are regularly priced, others are discounted. Most of their products ship from companies such as The Acne Prevention Place and Clear Skin Source. Clear Skin Source also has their own website where you can buy discounted products.

There are benefits in buying from QVC and Amazon, because the products are coming from companies. This is as opposed to eBay, where you are buying from individuals. There are many deals on eBay; however, you must be prepared to engage in a bidding war. You can also use the popular "Buy It Now" option and buy at a more expensive price. The problem with buying skin care products on eBay is that you are often buying from individuals and have no way to confirm that what you're getting has not been tampered with. If buying from eBay, the best thing to do is to make sure the seller has a high approval rating.

There are also smaller online stores that sell Proactiv. Stores such as Little Online Store, iQShoppe, and Creative Notions all carry Proactiv products at a discounted rate.

Other ways to get Proactiv for less are via coupon codes. Many websites have coupon codes for up to 50 percent off of Proactiv products. These coupons are for other websites and are not for in store use. Fabulous Savings, Savings.com, Retail Me Not, Coupon Cabin and Coupon Craze are all websites that offer coupons for Proactiv products.
