I am looking to try a new facial care plan now that I have hit the big 3-0! I have heard good things about Arbonne, but I am hesitant to spend that kind of money without hearing stories and researching first. I am really looking for a good cleanser, good day cream, and a good eye cream. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I am willing to spend the money on something good, just want to hear about it or try it first!

Thanks moms!

What can I do next?

I used to sell Arbonne (I don't anymore). I love Arbonne and do not prefer Mary Kay (I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but all the sales ladies I have come in contact with are rude and pushy!). There is a kit they sell that has all the items you are looking for... like a daily regime. I really like this cleanser spray they have and the eye cream. They are pricey... there is no way around that one unless you sell it.

Good luck :)

I used it years ago. Didn't notice much difference between that and all of the other products like it.

My favorite skin care products are by a line called Image. It is awesome skin care products, but pretty hard to find(only spas sell it) and quite expensive. I didn't want to spend the money on Image a few months ago and was completely out of my cleanser, so I went to walmart and got their Equate brand daily renewal cleanser with gentle microbeads(compares to, Oil of Olay). I really like it, it makes my skin really soft!

Then one day, I was shopping at Aldi's and noticed they have some skin care products, so I thought, "what the heck, it's cheap, so I'll try it", so I bought the night cream(I use it during the day too). The brand is Lacura, and I got the one with retinol and coenzyme Q10, in it and I swear with in a month I have noticed a huge difference in my skin! Each product was like $3.99 each. So, for like 8 bucks, I've got some pretty good skin products!! :) I was really surprised how well they work. I even had a lady at work tell me she thought I was in my twenties...I'm thirty six, she so made my day!! Thanks, Walmart and Aldi's! :)

Hi S.,

As an esthetician, my advice to you, if you are willing to spend that much money on Arbonne, is to get professional products! (used in medical spas) They have stronger ingredients and they are taillord to your skincare condition and needs. By having a facial the esthetician can analyze your skin and look at it without makeup under a magnifying lamp! Understanding skincare ingredients is a very complex thing and not anyone can prescribe the right regimen for clients.
I would suggest you go to your trusted esthetician/spa, have a facial and see what professional products they are selling!
For years I've been using the wrong products on my skin and was breaking out a lot, I thought that was just my skin! Until I became an esthetician and realized that department stores sales people have no knowledge of skincare, they are just sales people!

I LOVE Arbonne. I buy it from my MIL. I would much rather pay for quality. I used to use Melaleuca and it can't even compare, in my opinion.

I like the Melaleuca line also. I use the facial cleanser every day and have noticed a difference. I also use (I in the 40's) the anti aging cream.

I found the Arbonne products just OK. But what turned me off was the sales pitch, constantly wanting me to sign up an sell, when all I wanted was good products. I found my contact as pushy if not more so than they MK women. Which by the way, I used Mary Kay for years and loved it. But once I got closer to 40 my chemistry changed and it wasn't working.

I agree with the poster who said if you're going to spend the money (and not get their 30% discount to sign up as a distributor) use professional products.
I found Natuopathica products and love them. They are kinda hard to find, upper end spas and/or you can order on line. They truly are natural and my face hasn't been this happy in years. And I'm pushing 50!

Good Luck

I tried it. The product is fine, but I didn't like the tall containers and the many steps. It isn't practicle for me. I love Mary Kay cleanser. Not as many steps, the right size containers and it works great!

I use it and it is wonderful. I will send a private message with my information for you. I would love to send you a sample. It is made with only Organic Herbs and Botanicals and DOES NOT have any animal products or by products in it and no mineral oil, parabens and a long list of other products that are considered unhealthy. I will also email you some before and after pictures. The New RE9 Advanced shows visual results in 24 hours. The products are concentrated so last much longer than the others on the marked with Arbonne Less is More!

I use and sell Arbonne. I love it, and I don't just say that because I am a consultant. I was skeptical at first, but seeing the results is what made me a believer in Arbonne products. The company is a good company, too. Anyway, best thing to do is try it. May I send you a sample packet? I am 51 years old (52 next week), and I am often told that I do not look 51. Send me an email: ____@____.com if I can answer any other questions. Arbonne is used in a very prestigious spa in California, and there are doctors and other medical professionals who also use Arbonne. All of us can't be wrong. :)

Hi, S.! I'm an independent consultant for BeautiControl, and we have great skin care! Our lines are differentiated by age groups, for the age your skin behaves, not just chronological age. We also have sensitive and acne-control lines. We focus our products on MRP - maintenance, repair, prevention. I became a rep because it changed my skin! After turning 40 I had terrible issues with hormonal acne. I started using the 30s skin-care line and my face cleared up; any blemishes I do get now are smaller, less red and go away faster. From the regular skin care, not acne products! Contact me or visit my website to learn more www.beautipage.com/kathy_s
The cost is less than or comparable to department store prices, but the products are clinical strength. BeautiControl does in-home spas for you and all your girlfriends, complete with facials, hand, lip and foot treatments. It's tons of fun, you get to try before buying, and the stuff works!
Hope you find something you love!
Smiles,

I have used their Re9 (antiaging) line since right before I hit the big 30. Love it! Love it! Love it! I tried 4 or 5 different lines to see what worked best. This was the hands down winner! Not only does it work great, but the pumps premeasure it, so you don't use more than you need. Each set lasts 4-6 months!

I tried Arbonne & it's ok, but just wasn't my favorite. I have tried tons over the years, all that is over the counter, tons of home sold products like Arbonne, Mary Kay, Avon, etc. My favorite is Jafra. One of my daughters' uses Jafra & the others' favorite is Mary Kay. One of my daughter in laws uses only Clinique. I would recommend that you go to a mall where you can try several different product lines & see what YOU like. Each of us has different skin & so it's just not ever a 1 type fits all. If you'd like a free sample of Jafra, send me your contact info & I'll send you some to try. I am a "distributor" but have never sold a single product. I just buy it for myself & loved ones. But seriously you can ask for samples at the mall, which is what I did & found that I kept coming back to Jafra, which I started using when I was 19...& I'm now 55. But truly try out several & see what works for you!

Hi S. - there are so many different product lines on the market, it really is hard to choose.

I thought Arbonne was okay - it seemed to do a really good job keeping my skin exfoliated but the price was a little too much for me to maintain. You could check with your dermatologist for ideas for products that would be good for your skin type.

Arbonne is a great product line. Their first anti-aging product worked miracles on my skin.

The older line, the Nutrimin C RE9 products were amazing and truly worked miracles on my skin.

They recently reformulated to the RE9 Advanced line. I'm having breakouts with their day cream and night cream.

--------

I'm researching the Jafra product line. A few of my friends have bragged about the Royal Jelly line. I'm trying it this week, and can see and feel a difference.

--------

I feel that Arbonne is marketed a bit better, but I'm loving the sensitive skin care line with Jafra.

Only time will tell.
You may want to get samples of both product lines and see which works best for YOUR skin. Skin Care is as individual as body chemistry - in finding the best perfume. You need to actually wear it, in order to know which works absolutely BEST for your individual skin care.

I have used Arbonne for five years now. I sold it for awhile, but now just order it for friends and keep my discount. If you live close to Louisburg I would be happy to order something for you at my discount. I have tried other things and found that nothing even seems to compare.

Scarlette,
I have used Arbonne and really liked it. They have since changed their formula so not sure which products and how. As you said, it is pricey. I have switched to Jordan Essentials, which is made in Nixa Mo. I liked JE so much, I signed up to be a rep. If you would like to try before you buy, I can send you some samples or come do a facial clinic with you.

Hi S., I have been selling Arbonne for 13 years (using it for 15 years) and am a National Vice President. Would love to share the benefits with you and get you a sample. I believe in the philosophy "try before you buy" and that is how we do business, it's that simple! And, after researching for many years prior to Arbonne and formulating my own line, it is the best products available! I am 53 and most people think I am late 30's, early 40's. One of the top estheticians here in Scottsdale uses Arbonne exclusively, she has been an esthetician for 30 years and she says it is the best products she has EVER used in her clinic. If you decide to buy, I will give you a tremendous ongoing online discount (you don't have to sell). You can contact me through my website: www.catchthevision.myarbonne.com

All the best!
