Let's say you have very sensitive skin and tend to itch a lot, for years you have been trying different products to no avail. You finally find a brand that works for you and you get it at your local pharmacy.

But this one time you go to the pharmacy and they are all out. The pharmacist recommends another product which he says is just as good, but you know how hard it was for you to find this brand to work.

Do you buy the other brand and hope for the best?

or do you go elsewhere?

Let's say the only other pharmacy that carries your brand is all the way across town,

would you go if you had car?

what if you had to take two buses to get there, would you go?

or just buy the new brand that you haven't tried before?

I was just talking about having to find something for my face. I would just wait to see when they got more. I am sort of concerned as I never used anything on my face. But,now I need something. My bumps are tiny but getting on my nerves.

I would have first been familiar with what the active and inactive ingredients in my special cream. I would decide about the purchase of a new brand by reading the label. Other things that I would consider would be whether or not the substitute had a fragance or something else that would irritate me.

I'd buy the brand I hadn't tried before first. If it wasn't effective, then I'd go traipsing all over town to getthe product that I know works, and would stock up on as much as possible.

I think I would drive or take the buses to get the product if I could not stand the itch. I would just hope and pray the other product works. I would do anything possible that is recommended to stop me frim being irritated.

If I could go elsewhere and had the way to get there, yes I would go. I am not sure if it involved getting two buses however, I may try to go with the recommended one by the pharmacist for the time being.
But in general, I would do my absolute best to find and buy the one that I know for sure works for me winterose.

If I can get away with using another brand I'll use it but if I know I HAVE TO HAVE A CERTAIN BRAND, I'll take the two busses across town to get it. Where I live, it takes two busses to get just about anywhere. Here in AZ it would be harder, because there is NO transportation available to me, so I'd probably have to make due with what is there. I'm lucky that there isn't any ESSENTIAL brand I need.
