I have to begin by saying I am a coupon clipping skeptic! So when I was first introduced to the Arbonne products, I thought the consultants were full of you know what! I thought the products were too expensive and I could find the same thing cheaper. I went to a 2nd party and actually TRIED the products...well let's just say I'm hooked! I love the RE9 line, the cellulite scrub, the baby line, and I even have my husband using the men's line! I agree with some of the other reviewers--TRY the products first! Because there are botanicals in the products, some people with really sensitive skin get red, or irritated. I don't think there's one skin care line out there that EVERYONE in the world is going to like. My advice--try it...if you like it, it's totally worth signing up for the discount! If you don't like it, they have a 45 day money back guaranteed:)

I HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR A FEW WEEKS. I AM NOT A CONSULTANT JUST A CONSUMER. I LOVE IT SO FAR. I DONT USE EVERYTHING. I AM NOT A HUGE SKIN CARE PERSON. I USE THEIR CLEANSER AND MOISTURIZER. I ALSO USE THEIR PREP AND PLUMP LIP GLOSS, WHICH I AM OBSESSED WITH. I USE THEIR GINGER CITRUS SHOWER GEL, BODY BUTTER, AND BODY SPRAY. GINGER CITRUS SCENT IS AMAZING. I LOVE IT. I HAVE READ THE REVIEWS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ACNE, AND ALL I CAN SAY IS I GUESS ARBONNE ISNT GREAT FOR PEOPLE WITH EXTREMELY SENSITIVE SKIN. BUT THEIR ARE OTHERS PRODUCTS NO JUST SKIN CARE. I HEAR THEIR MAKEUP IS GREAT TOO. OH AND I USE THE ABC BABY LINE FOR MY SON. HES 18 MONTHS AND IT MAKES HIM SO SMOOTH.

I'm a 37 year old woman with red hair, blue eyes, and very fair sensitive skin and am the mother of two toddlers. I also work outside as a geologist in all kinds of extreme environments. I didn't even think about skin care when I started my job 7 years ago, but now it's one of my top health care/personal appearance priorities. Sunshine, freezing temperatures, hot-dry environments, dirt, mud, smoke (I work around burned areas), travel, the occasional lack of sleep and general life stress... my skin started to really show signs of wear. A friend literally pressured me into trying the sample pack of Arbonne Nutrimin-C anti-aging line. I really didn't want to, but I felt I couldn't say no. I've never been so PLEASANTLY SURPRISED by a skin-care product line. I've been using it for two years now and I'm completely sold on it. Most people think I'm 29 or 30 and, I have to admit I love it. It took a little bit of experimenting, but I've pretty much figured out what works best for me. I use different combinations of the products depending on what season it is (summer vs. winter). Of course, healthy eating habits, exercise, and a positive attitude also do quite a bit for maintaining youth. The best thing... my husband noticed that I was looking younger than him (did I mention he's 8 years younger than me?) and he started using the Arbonne men's line. He's looking better than ever, and I make sure to let him know it! One final note here, everyone's skin is different, so go into this with the understanding that what's worked incredibly well for me may not work the same way for you. Ask for samples, and if you order product and it turns out that it's not working for you don't hesitate to return it!

I have recently signed up to become an Arbonne consultant after years of working in the business world and not finding any satisfaction out of it. Not only did I work as a manager at a day spa for 3 years, but as I was working full time there, I was putting myself through school to be an esthetician. I have been around ( and trained on ) many products in my career as an esthetician, but this product is one I can truly back up and stand behind 100%. Not only have I seen significant changes in peoples overall skin quality, but I have gained so much more from working with this company. No boss, time, money, and great friends surrounding you are just a few of the perks! Not to mention a great line for both skin and body nutrition!!!

I signed up as a Consultant 3 years ago, because I LOVED the product, I tried at the time, and I wanted the discount. I did not like the price. When the first year was up, I let the discount lapse and stopped buying the product. Recently, an acquaintance told me she started using Arbonne. She looked great! She did not know I had used it. After talking to her, I visited the Arbonne site and found the new Intelligence Smart set. At 47 years old, I decided that Arbonne was a better choice than what I had been using from Wal-mart. Instead of signing up for a 35% discount and instead of finding a rep in my area, I went to Ebay and got the 5 piece Intelligence set for $76.00 (free Shipping). That is 50% off! I just got it in the mail, so I haven't tried the line. If I do like it, I will know where to buy it. :-)

A customer at my work gave me a sample pack at work after telling me my face looked a little dry and red. I pretty much knew she was just trying to sell something being I pretty much get told I look at least 7-10 years younger than I really am on a regular basis.
I still decided to try the product however..nothing ventured, nothing gained. I noticed no benefits whatsoever. My face felt more dry after cleansing, and the moisturizer was not adequate. I have a very slight smile line starting on the side of my mouth and this stuff did nothing to help with that area like my other skin care does. My face also seemed to become redder..I really think the stuff dries your face up. I am not against using products that contain animal products and had to keep myself from laughing when this person tried to sell me this as a benefit. I will stick to my Perricone thank you very much.

  I have not yet tried the product but I am reading all I can and will try it.  First, I think it is fantastic that consultants come on here to rave about it.  I would never sell anything I did not completely believe in so my hats off to them.  If I love it, I too will sell it.  If not, I will realize it is just not for my skin type as it is for others.

As for the comment that this product has an additive in it that is addictive making you think you need it is just plain ludicrous!!!

I became a consultant two months ago - the only reason I became a consultant is because I love the products and I wanted the 35% discount. I am reading a lot of "this product didn't work for me" so the person rates Arbonne as bad. But the great thing about Arbonne is that there is a different line of products for all people. Just because one lotion doesn't work it doesn't mean that another one won't. I have some product in the Arbonne line I don't use; that doesn't mean that they are bad products, they just don't work for my particular skin type and I have had to find another one that will. The cool thing is that most consultants out there will give you samples of the products to try so that you can find the perfect product before you buy.

I know that people that have extremely sensitve skin can't use Arbonne; but usually those people have a very short list of items they can use at all. I did read here where someone was scratching their face until it bled but continued to use the products for two months which seems a little irresponsible - why continue to use something if you are having that bad of a reaction? I would never recommend for someone to continue to use a product if they have a reaction, especially that severe.

As I said in the beginning of my post, I only signed up for the 35% discount. If you like the product, then that's the smartest thing to do - sign up as a consultant. But the more I use the products the more I tell others about them because I know so many people that can benefit from them - and so far the people that I have sold product to love them so much that they are signing up as consultants, too! By far this is the least expensive way to sign up to be a consultant for a company. Most companies require you to buy a $200 or $300 packet, then you can't make commission on anything you sell unless you've sold a high amount of volume. With Arbonne, you pay $29 for the first year then $15 each year after that. You make that up alone with your discount pretty quickly. Arbonne product prices seem a little scary, but their products go such a long way that you find you don't buy them as often as you do other products, making them cost-effective and fabulous. As long as you have $100 worth of orders each month (that's $65 after your discount), you earn a 4% commission. And everything you buy or others buy from you helps you earn bonus products...and it doesn't take hundreds of dollars of sales to see these specials. Arbonne has Internet specials every month, and they have things like the RSVP where you can buy $700 worth of product for $350. Their specials continue to surprise me. I can hardly wait until next month to see what the next Internet special is!

There is no pressure to sell Arbonne once you sign up, either. You can do as little as just enjoy your discount or do as much as become a full-time consultant. My upline sat me down and asked me what I wanted. She said that if I only wanted to use my discount, she didn't want to bug me, but if I wanted to sign up others, she would help me. What other company offers such a support system?

Great products, big rewards for consultants, no pressure to sell. There is no lose with Arbonne.

I have very sensitive skin and was told this would be perfect for my skin. So I tried the NutriminC RE9 I gave it about 2 months and it was awful. I scratched my face till it would bleed. Within a week of stopping the product my skin was back to normal. I consulted my dermatologist who said I had an allergic reaction to it. When I bought the product I was told it was hypoallergenic and that I would have now problems.

I started using arbonne about 3 weeks ago. Honestly, I did not even want to try it. I tried it as a favor for a friend at church. I have extremely sensitive skin and cystic acne. I have tried everything under the sun, both prescription and non-prescription, including Accutane. Three days after trying the NutriminC RE9 wash, toner, and serum, I noticed a huge difference. Three weeks later my face looks better than it has in 18 years. As soon as I start to get a little breakout the serum knocks it out. There is no inflammation and no dryness. Again, I have suffered from cystic acne for 20 years. This is the first product I have ever used that works. My pores are small and clear, and I have not had a cyst or inflammatory acne for 3 weeks. I never had any luck even with Retin-A. I have no intention of selling arbonne as I have a job, but feel obligated to share what a miracle this product is. I did try the day cream with spf, but it was a little too heavy and greasy as someone else posted. I have not tried any of the other products, but plan to.
For those with problem skin, I urge you to at least try a sample. My daughter tried it and it worked for her acne, too.

Have any of you heard about Become Beauty yet?

I'm 24 and I have had on and off acne through out my life. Nothing too major, just enough to be a pain. Well about 1 year ago I thought my worries were over. My breakouts were less and less and less. My periods weren't even causing any pimples. I kept up my daily cleansing regime and thought what would it hurt to try something new such as arbonne Intelligence cleanser. Boy was I wrong!!!! Immediately I began to breakout all over. It was out of control. I had never seen my face with this much acne. And it wasn't on and off, it was a constant battle. Now about 6 months after I stopped using Arbonne I am still having the problems. I hate wearing make-up and hardly did before I used this product, now I can't even leave my house without plastering it on. Arbonne is the worst product I have ever used and DO NOT recommend it to anyone.

Seemed to promise much more... but the line was a bit greasy for me as I am already pretty oily. Nothing bad to say, but nothing good either.

the only thing is, there are lots of people out there who have been approached by women who lie and leave stuff out til they get you to sign into the business. my upline told me what i needed to know. she answered all my questions about what i would need to put inot the business to start, and i love it! if you ask quesitons, you will get answers. i love the line, love my team, and its not an avon business. its not amway, not a pyramid scheme. the world is changing, everyone wants to be healthier, and people want to change that huge percentage of americans who are obese and un-healthy. its sweeping the nation. with arbonne, we are just trying to let others know about the products, let others in on it, because hey.. when the botox and plastic surgery industry is in the billions, thats when im thinking maybe we could do it naturally. ask anyone about the business, research, but be carefull when you come across someone who was scammed by some manipulative woman and not told what she needed to know. some people can be thrown into one-sided madness very quickly.

I am an Arbonne consultant. I looked into the Dr. Hauschka and Evanhealy products that were mentioned in a previous post. Ounce for ounce, they are not cheaper than Arbonne. With a $29 consultant card, you get a 35% discount on all retail prices plus lots of free and discounted bonus products. In addition, I see nothing on either website about the products being pH balanced. Just because products are "natural" or "botanically based" does not mean they are not harmful to your skin. Your skin has a natural acid-mantle that acts as a "bug-zapper" to fight off germs. Products that are not pH balanced will destroy that mantle and therefore make it more difficult for our bodies to fight off germs. I also noticed, at least on the Dr. Hauschka website, that fragrance is added to their products. Why do they have to add a scent? Most products that are fragranced are trying to cover up an odor caused by animal biproducts. I am not saying that is the case here, but it is certainly something that I would look into before making a purchase. Mineral oil is also something to be concerned about when looking for good skin care products. It is made from petroleum. Putting that on your skin is the equivalent to putting saran wrap on it. It acts as a barrier. Nutrients cannot get in and toxins cannot get out. When I started with Arbonne I went through my cabinet and found tons of products, both cheap and expensive that contained Mineral oil. Not anymore. Arbonne has opened my eyes to what good skin care products are supposed to be like and I would recommend them to anyone. I say that as a wife and mother and not as a representative of Arbonne. I could not represent something that I do not use and whole-heartedly believe in.

On top of having the ability to experience Arbonne products at a great discount, Arbonne also gives consultants the opportunity to make money through an unbelievable compensation plan. It is unheard of to be able to make this much money and love what you do! For more information contact me at mccoyhistory@aol.com

I was introduced to Arbonne through my daughter's teacher. I couldn't believe what it did for my face after just one use. My husband told me I look three to four years younger. I have tried other expensive products, but they haven't given me the results that Arbonne has. And, realistically, it really isn't that expensive. It is so concentrated that it lasts for approximately nine months, making it around $30 a month. Not bad if you ask me.

I was introduced to Arbonne through a friend of mine. I have sebbhoric dermatits and have had a prescription steroid cream for my face for years. i have had to use this cream as a moisturizer 4-5 times a week. If i go a week without doing it, my skin acts up. The consultant at my friend's party lent me the NutriMinC line. I probably would not have tried it otherwise because the cost turned me off. I tried the line and within 3 days, i stopped using the steroid cream. I experimented with the line, and to be honest - i do not like all the products. I dont like the lift gelee because it makes my skin feel tight. i was not crazy about the eye cream - i prefer the one i currently use (avon). I ended up purchasing the other 5 products of the line - the hydrating wash, the oner, the facial serum, the day cream and the night cream. I am very satisfied with my purchases. FYI - in the week between giving back the lent items and receiving my shipment, i had to use my steroid cream again.

Also included in the gold bag with products lent to me byt he consultant was the intelligence hand cream - which i loved and bought; and samples of the tea tree oil shampoo - it was ok but i prefer Paul Mitchell's tea tree shampoo. At the party i also smelled the various aromatherapy lotions and while I was not crazy about the awaken scent or the reactivate scent, i very much liked the unwind set and would consider purchasing it on my own.

I decided to pay the $29 dollar 'membership discount fee' - i kind of liken it to costco or bjs membership. when i purchased these items along with the membership fee i did receive some bonuses - first i was able to select one item up to 100 dollars free. I selected the night cream which was the most expensive item i wanted. I also was able to purchase a 'host gift' valued at 85 dollars for 20 - i decided to get it and try it out - and i really like it a lot - it is a two stop body serum and lotion.. but i would not spend $85 on it. Finally i was able to puchase the normally 14 dollar hand lotion for $6. BTW - i was given the option to purchase the $25 tea tree shampoo for $10, but i turned it down because, as I said - I prefer Paul Mitchell.

I think that the concept behind Arbonne is really interesting and I do like most of the products I have tried. They seem to be botanically based, and all of the products seemed to be aligned with each other - meaning they all follow the basic philosophy of the company. I did not try their tea nor their vitamins - which look impressive but not for me.

As I said, i did pay the 29 dollar membership fee, but I am not an active consultant at this point. I am not trying to sell you anything. This is just an honest unbiased reporting of my experience with the Arbonne products. Everyone is different and I am sure all of us have differing opinions.

Arbonne is okay. I have combination skin with moderate to severe acne, and I admit, I tried the Nutrimin-RE 9 set from a friend, and it worked great for the few days I used it (my skin was soft and plump), but once I stopped, my skin appeared worse than before I started. I took the list to my dermatologist, and she said I should never need to use more than 3 products (cleanse, tone, moisturize) at any point, and overuse of these products will reduce the skin's ability to heal and moisturize itself, causing an unnecessary dependence on overpriced items.

For truly natural products, she recommended I try Dr. Hauschka and Evan Healy products. I've been using these for 3 weeks now, and my skin has never looked or felt better! Although my skin doesn't feel as plump, my acne has cleared up, my scars are becoming less noticable, and my skin is more balanced. Even through my PMS where I typically breakout like a 15-yr old, my skin stayed clear. AND these products cost substantially less and can be found at Whole Foods or specialty stores (Sephora, Ulta).

If you are looking for natural, pure products, I would recommend Dr. hauschka or Evan healy.

I am consultant building my business since November and I wish I had found Arbonne years before. I love the products and saw fantastic results after only 1 night. So good that my husband is also using the line and my teenager uses the acne line after trying proactive for a while.
This is the best investment I have made on my life and I am loving building my Arbonne business! Sing up even if it is just for the discount you will love it!

For Supermom3, when you see a commerical on TV about a product you can buy over the counter do think it is an unbias opinion. You see a product on TV you go out and buy it. So why is that any different then an Arbonne Consultant promoting a product they believe in. The company promotes handing out the skin care lines for intersted parties to try. They take it home, try it on their own time and then decide if it is right for them. No other companies that I am aware of lets you do that.

I just started using Arbonne Anti Again RE9 line. I really like it. I don't expect any product to turn me into a super model or cure all my skin issues.....but I do like the fact Arbonne RE9 moisturized my skin without making me break out. I am usually a bit oily in summer and combo in the winter....so I need different products for different seasons. I like RE9 for winter and the Intelligence line for summer. The key to good skin is not always what you put on it...but what you put in your mouth. Water, good healthy-balanced nutrition, stress control and consistency is what makes good skin. I'm not an Arbonne sales person, but if they want to promote their products....because they believe in them....Good for them! I read fashion magazines all the time....they are promoting products...should we scold them! Simply stating...I like Arbonne! :-)

i am not a consultant. i tried it b/c i want to use better products than otc. with very sensitive skin and past severe cystic acne(fair/freckled skin, blue eyes, red hair), i am not easily persuaded to try anything. i've used cetaphil & baking soda(in conjunction with skin-friendly birth control pill) for years with great results. i tried the Re9 for a month and bought it b/c there was not even a hint of irritation & my friend was just starting out w/the biz. my rosacea was not as red with regular use. have noticed that the lines around my eyes are more pronounced,however...hmmm. have now, after about 4months, itchy spots under my jawline - weird. Don't know if they are related or not b/c i had only one itchy spot under my chin prior to using the Re9. i liked using it b/c i felt it was a good treatment for my skin & made it feel nice. don't know yet if i'll re-up. would like to hear dermitologist opinions who do not sell or affiliate w/ it.

I first learned of Arbonne coming out of beauty school as an esthetician. Our school endorsed the line for skin care specialists among others. I tried the RE9 line a year later, through a friend and was really impressed with the textures and natural fragrance of the products. I like to use it on my clients, I use it myself, I like other products too, but i like the price point of Arbonne best of all. Definitely better than drug store chemical products, definitely not prescription AHA's, retin-A with high PH and percentage, but neutral, mild and clean products. There is also something for everyone. Being a makeup artist, I have seen many acne prone teens clear up with the advantage line in 6 months. The improved packaging is nice too. Great products!

Superior product line. The anti-aging line lasts 6-12 months! Highly concentrated and IT WORKS! Bonus, you can sign up and get your products at a discount every time you order! How many companies allow that?! You will love these products!

Consultants become consultants because they are so impressed by the product and want to get the terrific discounts and share their discovery. Some of the negative comments posted here are opinion, some seem to be downright slanderous. Addictive properties?! Please. Arbonne products stand on their own merit. They are botanically BASED, not just infused, and have fewer than 2% preservatives. I have not tried anything yet I didn't like. I recommend the products and the business to anyone looking to improve their skin.

At first I thought I would just sample Arbonne...and go on my way. Then after receiving compliments from friends and family, I was sold. It is the only Anti-Aging skincare line I can use. I feel I look more awake and fresh, sort of a glow (not sure how to word it).

Other Anti-Aging lines were too harsh for my sensitive skin and/or would cause me to breakout or become raw (and I've tried many).

Not sure why Arbonne is getting not great ratings here...in my opinion, it is one of the gentlist I've found. The RE9 Daycream was too heavy for my oily skin, so I just use the Intelligence Line Moisturizer (along with the Oil Absorbing Personalizer) and it works out just fine.

Later I was able to stop my prescribed meds from my derm and have not yet had to go back (past cystic acne).

Since then (my acne clearing), I decided to open an account to get a discount. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them or assist in anyway I can - WITH NO OBLIGATION (it makes no difference to me if you purchase from me or someone else...I really only opened the account for my discount...but I have become very well informed in the process). My e-mail is: kwitter@genesiswireless.us or visit my site at: www.naturalsafebeneficial.myarbonne.com

I have to agree with Supermom. From a professional stand point, it's very tacky to come on here and rave about the products you make commision on. Reps should be ashamed.
As for the products, I have to say they are fair, better than over the Counter. But really don't have enough botanical ingredients to make a difference in the skin. They have a lot of fillers and can be very irritating for sensative skin. They also don't have much in the way of anti aging.

It's okay, but not a life changer. I would buy it more ofter, but it's over priced for what you get and the Mary Kay like rep. hounded me to death for 3 months.
One thing I greatly dislike about this site is that consultants get on here and rave about their product and their jobs. I preferr an UNBIASED opinion of the products I'm testing.

I use their color line along with their RE9 skincare and my skin always looks great!

my skin has NEVER looked this great after starting to use Arbonne products!

I am not at all impressed with Arbonne, I found out that it has some kind of adictive agent in it that makes you feel like you NEED it. Can you belive that? The age reversal stuff actually made wrinkles more pronounced after using it for about a month. And anything that gives you an instant face lift for six hours and then drops your face can't be good. I much prefer Mary Kay, they too have no added animal fat or byproducts in their stuff and it all seems to last much longer too.

I actually experienced this line and it is ok. Personall I prefer Aloette. I was a accident stumble for me. I haven't even heard of them.....and their products do what they say and more! Arbone is fine too, just I preferred Aloette over Arbonne.

I bought product from an Independent Consultant at www.nancynicholson.myarbonne.com - a friend of mine. I love the product. I have not tried any of the Figure 8 products.....yet. The vitamins are also good and no animal by-products as casings.

Best skin care and best JOB I have EVER had!
