Anybody trying Arbonne?
By Janet on 24 Oct 2006
Seems like 5 different friends are now selling me on Arbonne. I would be happy to give someone the sale, but I just don't know if their antiaging skin care products are worth it. Seems like lots of steps, hard to keep doing over time. Not sure Arbonne is the best wrinkle treatment out there...opinions about Arbonne products?

I'm in the same boat. Getting the sales assault on all sides!
I did the week trial and frankly the products seemed fine. It's hard to say "they work", but my feeling is that whenever you do multistep treatment with even olay you'll notice your skin soften and smooth.
I hope someone can write in and give a arbonne review for long-term use of it.

Arbonne could pull them if the company decided to slap their hands.
No Arbonne rep is supposed to have any other web page other than that of Arbonne International, nor can they have any links online to their Arbonne site.
