Anyone here use Arbonne products?

Does anyone here use Arbonne? I'm thinking about trying it, but I want to get some feedback first.

I've never used any before, but have heard the products are really good. One of the girls where I get my hair cut uses it and said she loved it. I had never heard of it until then. Soooo...I'm really not much help.

I have used Arbonne RE9 set for over a year now. I really liked it but unfortunately the products became too expensive for my budget after awhile. Honestly, I have found just as nice results now using Olay products.

Thanks! I'm afraid that it might just be too pricey for my budget as well.

I like the Olay products as well. I use the face lotion everyday.

I have "tested" so many different face creams/washes. One's from a plastic's surgeons office, to Arbonne, to a variety on the drug stores shelves. Truly the Olay products have been the best for my face.

The "7 Signs, Total Effects" serum from Olay is awesome!! It makes my face feel smooth as ever.

The face washes I use are Olay Definity pore redufining scrub and Olay Definity iluminating cream cleanser. I never feel like I have to "rush" to my moisturizers after my face has been washed.

I also use the Olay toner then move onto the moisturizers.

L'Oreal age perfect day/night creams are nice also.

I use the Olay products as well, but have not been consistent. As of yesterday when I saw a closeup picture of me taken a couple of weeks ago, I'm committing to being consistent, and taking the time to do all the steps to try to get my skin in it's optimum condition. If you find anything that will take about 10 years off, pleeeeeease let me know. I think having to quit taking my hormones last year is taking it's toll.

In a couple of weeks I'm going with some friends on a shopping trip to Austin. I hope to find a store that sells Laura Mercier & see if that will make a difference. I'm getting desperate.

Marilyn, go see a dermatologist. They have so many products and creams that you can use on your skin that will dramtically help. I use prescription Retin-A cream for acne, but it promotes collagen production in the skin, so it also prevents/corrects fine lines and wrinkles. I know Villette uses Retin-A for wrinkles and I have seen before and after pictures on her and WOW! I'm 23 and I swear people think I'm 12 or 13 and I attribute it to using this Retin-A. There are just so many prescription products out there that will help, it's definately worth a trip to the dermo.

Well, I got a sample of the Arbonne and it made my face breakout. So, that was an easy decision!!!!!!!!! Now I have a good reason not to buy their expensive products!

Rebecca, thank you for the suggestion. I did try Retin-A a few years ago, but could not get past the intense pealing stage. I looked like I had a white beard and mustache I was pealing so badly. My job is outside sales & even though I know the end result will be an improvement, I don't know if I can make it through the initial peal. I need to look nice at all times, at least at work. I may try going back and see if they can scale the program back a little and have a lighter peal for a longer time or something. I do have some Retin-A I bought in Mexico that I could try again myself and see what happens.

I know you broke out Rebecca and that was terrible but I just wanted to say that it's very rare that someone breaks out from Arbonne. I've been using it on my sensitive skin for almost two years and never had a problem. Most people don't have a reaction but for those that do it can really be bad.

There products are worth every penny to me. My skin has never looked better. And this isn't coming from someone trying to sell it since I rarely do that anymore.

My cousin broke out so bad from Olay. She has to go to the dermatologist because of it and he told her that the Olay products should be taken off the shelves.

I really really really wanted to love the Arbonne products. I've just heard so many people did so well on them and I wanted to get the same results. My skin is so incredibly fickle. I've been battling breakouts since 5th grade and have been in constant care of a dermatologist since I was 11 years old. I am just glad and appreciative that Arbonne has samples to try. I am on a very tight budget right now since hubby is in school, and I really wanted to purchase the Arbonne, but was worried how it would work on my very fickle skin. I hate that it didn't work out for me, but at the same time, I'm somewhat happy that it didn't work because now I won't have to talk my hubby into letting me purchase the products! Olay makes my skin breakout, too. I have tried SOOOOOOO many products and for the past year I've finally found a regime that has been working very well for me. Luckily, all of my skincare products are from the drugstore except my presciption Retin-A, which costs $50 every 3-4 months.

Carolyn, thanks again for sending me that sample. I really do appreciate it. And trust me, it's not the products that are bad...it's my icky skin!
