Anybody trying Arbonne?

I've been using the RE9 system for about a year and I can't live without it. The cost was a concern at first but I have only had to replace one item at a time so that works out as far as cost. The first thing I ran out of was the face wash and that was after about 5 months of use. I can tell a difference in my skin if I forget to use it. My face seems to beg for it!LOL I have seen a big difference in my crows feet and the dark circles are gone. I also use the eye cream on a scar I have on my neck and it has faded tremendously. One last thing, there is no such thing as magic in a bottle but if you can get the glow you use to have in your skin when you were young then it's worth it. I'm living with the ARbonne glow.

Most satisfied Arbonne customers are selling the product. Overpriced youth serum for the aging boomers, sold in a typical mlm rip off format. Keep away!

you obviously haven't used it and you are probably selling the avon that my Mother in Law used to love until she switched to arbonne and saw results. I love when an avon consultant comes in with bags under her eyes and tells me to use her eye cream.

"Most satisfied Arbonne customers are selling the product" No way really?? Seems pretty logical... This is OBVIOUSLY coming from an "employee" mindset....MLM is pure genious. Even Donald Trump said if he had to start over he would do MLM...He even said it on a talk show for millions to hear, lol

The first product I tried was the Awaken Sea Salt Scrub, LOVED IT! I really did. I never felt or smelled anything like it. I bought it and the RE9 set. I have been using it since the end of August, about 7 weeks. And I can really see a difference, I can't wait to wash my face when I get home from work, I come home from work on Friday, wash my face Friday night, do the RE9 every morning, then at night, usually a mask or the enzyme peel and don't use any make up until Monday. And it does not take me long. It took me the same amount of time to use the entire RE9 system as it took my 13 year old daughter to put on her eyeliner. Not long at all. I used to use Dermitage, but not anymore. I highly suggest you try it. It works.

I think you should go buy Elizabeth Arden Night Cream. It is only $135.00 for the same amount you get with Arbonne. Fist try and find out the ingredients your smeering on your face.

Ever hear of Watkins Products, Home Decor, Princess House, Avon, Pampered Chef just to name a few of the rotten scoundral MLM businesses.

Arbonne night cream $95 it is the most amazing feeling waking up in the morning with soft supple hydrated skin and knowing that there are no animal or petrol bi products poisoning my blood stream is very reassuring for me. 97percent of skincare & cosmetics have these harmful ingredients in them! Smart skincare for smart people I reckon!!!

I find this comment very confusing GGGL, because Arbonne has many cancer causing ingredients in their products.

Lorac, READ IT AND WEAP! Until you can tell me that you are a member of the NICNAS or in this particular instance the CIR or the TGA stop informing people incorrectly! You should always remember, what goes around comes around and I will feel sorry for you when you get sick!

Tell me, what part of ANY of these ingredients is actually good for your skin!!! I am not informing people incorrectly, these are ingredients that Arbonne uses. So you can go along blindly believing that these chemical ingredients are somehow good for your skin.

Ingredients for Arbonne’s Line Defiance Liquid Foundation SPF15: Water, Octinoxate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Isododecane, Butylene Glycol, Peg/ppg-18/18 Dimethicone, Dimethicone, Polysilicone-11, Hexyl Laurate, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Dimethylacrylamide/acrylic Acid, Polystyrene Ethyl Methacrylate Copolymer Disteardimonium Hectorite, Cetyl Peg/ppg-10/1 Dimethicone, Caprylyl Glycol, Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract, Lecithin, Coco-caprylate/caprate, Dimethicone/divinyldimethicone, Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Stearoxymethicone/dimethicone Copolymer, Peg-10 Dimethicone, Propylene Carbonate, Propylene Glycol Stearate, Propylene Glycol Laurate, Ethoxydiglycol, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Polysorbate 20, Sorbitan Laurate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Oligopeptide-10, Aminobutyric Acid, Barium Sulfate, Glycerin, Steareth-20, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, Chrysin, N-hydroxysuccinimide, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-14, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Sodium Chloride, Stearic Acid, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Phenoxyethanol, Alumina, Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891), Mica (77019), Iron Oxides (Ci 77491, Ci 77492, Ci 77499).

By the way, I don't get sick. What makes you think I do?

You will!! FYI, Arbonne doesn't carry this product!

I found it on Amazon and eBay, so apparently it's still for sale from some distributors.

How about the ingredients of the NutriMinC RE9 Retaliate Wrinkle Filler:
Water, HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Glycerin, Squalane, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Arachidyl Alcohol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Aminobutyric Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Thioctic Acid, Butylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, PEG-12 Glyceryl Dimyristate, Behenyl Alcohol, Arachidyl Glucoside, Polyacrylate 13, Polyisobutene, Polysorbate 2, Silica, Carbomer, Aminomethyl Propanol, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Potassium Sorbate

Really, GGGL, do you honestly think this stuff is good for your skin? And remember, everything you put ON your skin ends up IN your body. (I think the water and shea butter would be ok.)

Keep trying to convince yourself that Arbonne is a natural product. I'm sure there are many people who will believe you.

Look, this is getting ridiculous. Arbonne has never claimed to be all natural! We are Botanically based and enhanced by science. End of story. Our products use vitasphere technology so the ingredients will not enter the blood stream, therefore it IS safe. Please just move on and dont use it if you dont want to. But dont create uncertainty about our products until you can 100% without a shadow of a doubt guarantee that what you are talking about is correct. Lots of chemicals in their RAW state and are danagerous, we do not use them in their RAW state, there is more to science than what you read online and in a book. These websites and books only inform you about the raw states and if they enter the bloodstream they can be dangerous. There is lots of grey area so be careful to know exactly what you are talking about. Some chemical books say Aloe Vera is toxic!!!! I can guarantee you this company is ethical, otherwise they would have been sued or closed down due to false claims. At the end of the day it is an individual choice, so stop trouble making and move on.

Arbonne reps sell on E-Bay all the time. You are not suppose to do that and either they are X-reps that have stuff left over and want to move it out or they are just doing it to find a way to sell without doing leg work.

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.

Which products and what ingredients are cancer-causing?

Hi juliebo - Here's a good website that lists a lot of controversial ingredients. http://www.healthy-communications.com/harmfulingredients1.html

If you do a google search for dangerous toxic ingredients in cosmetics, you'll come up with many sites.

Hi there, dioxane is a very harmful chemical and NOT found in Arbonne products, sorry I guess I should not have included a link...

Here's some ingredients used in cosmetics that are toxic and you should stay away from -
Sodium Laurel Sulfate
Propylene Glycol (antifreeze and brake fluid)
Mineral Oil and other petroleum ingredients
Parabens
Urea
Fragrance and Colors (derived from petroleum)
Bleach (if the product is white, it has been bleached)
