Hey Susie!
Carley's is available online. I bought it through http://www.no-acne.com.
I first heard about it on the Soulcysters.com message board and thought
I'd give it a try. It has 2% benzoyl peroxide and some other stuff. I'm
pretty sure they list the ingredients online so you can check and see if
you're allergic to any of them. Going on the pill can be tricky...maybe
something topical will be sufficient (?). Best of luck!
