Thanks, Bridget

[Becky6]

Thanks!! These are so helpful since I am still just learning!!

[bluelotus]

Thanks for the posts, but just an FYI on proactiv - I got that same BS response from them and told them that sending me an ingrediant list meant nothing, since certain its could be derived from a gluten source without that being indicated in the name. A rep then emailed me back and said "All Proactiv Solution products and extracts/fragrances are gluten-free"

[mookie03]

Bridget- thanks so much-- i love that you post these dont you hate responses like the one from clearasil? Just give us an answer! starbucks has the same policy of giving you a number to call...why cant they just answer the question, even if they include a CYA statement at the end saying it is only accurate as of the date posted?!
