Anybody trying Arbonne?

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.

Hi, everyone, Yeah, Arbonne has lots of silky, yummy-smelling products and great options, but I'm tellin' ya, they use chemicals in their products that have been shown to do organ damage, cause skin irritation, and a whole host of other problems for our health. Read the labels, women! I implore you. Natural skin care is the answer. Get products with no harsh chemicals or additives and watch your skin come alive in just a few days. I use www.edenskiss.com but there are tons of all-natural, healthy skin care products out there that feed and revitalize your skin, naturally. You can also check out the products on apothena.com or terressentials.com. A great resource for all things natural is Debra's List. You don't need slick packaging and crazy chemical concoctions to look younger and be sexier. More info on the bad stuff in cosmetics can be found all over the Internet. But check out the cosmetics cop for a detailed analysis of all the ingredients in our makeup and skin care products. She's the best. Go natural, girls! Best of health to you all. Liz

FYI- Arbonne products are botanically based, pH neutral, never tested on animals and has no animal by-products in their formulations. I have used plenty of other brands and was for years a devotee of dermologica & MD formulations, but after I did the week with Arbonne I was hooked. I get complements on my skin weekly and at 38 I still get carded when I buy alcohol. I give Arbonne products a super recommendation, I can say it works for ME.

Hi everyone- I think the Arbonne products really are nothing special.  I have no issue with using products that have chemicals in them. I too, like natural skin care products, but I do think that you can get results from non-natural based products. And more than natural products, I look for skin care products that will hopefully give results.
 What I do not care for with the Arbonne products is the over hyped vitamin C as if that is the only thing that you need.  I believe that if  you do that whole 7 step process with any products - you would feel like your skin looks better.  I also find the products to be a bit sticky.  I have the vitamin c body wash in the shower, it smells nice, (as long as you like orange) but it never gets a lather- so I end up using a soap that I feel cleans my body and then i use the orange soap to get a bit of the scent.  I will not be purchasing more. 
As for the anti-aging lotions.  I imagine that they lock some moisture in, but I am looking for performance, I can get moisturizer for half the price.

This is a reply to going "all natural." All natural isn't everything it is cracked up to be---have you ever seen what happens to a bunch of fruit and vegetables if they sit on your counter for about a week. They grow mold and bacteria and turn rotten. I definitely wouldn't put that on my face. I respect the the company's that protect their products with good preservatives and use the best of science and technology to put into their products for truly good results. Remember there are very many irritating ingredients in nature--just ask someone with allergies how irritated nature can make them. Just because something says, "All natural" don't get hooked into thinking it's the best. Also, if it says all natural you are going to have to keep your products in the refrigerator, so they don't go bad.

Re: Arbonne...I was looking in this forum to find info on this...cause I've also got friends raving, but they too sell it. So whoever has input who has actually tried it, without selling it, I'd love to hear from... But then I just saw the comment on Microdermx and had to jump in, cause I use it and it is an absolute STAPLE for me! I NEVER want to be without it, it's a treatment more than a daily skincare regime and so I only use it every week or two. But it's smoothed out my skin and "evened" (is that a word?! :) ) out my skintone unlike anything I've ever tried...(and I've tried at least 7 versions of microdermabrasion...including the kind at the salon that costs an arm and a leg!) And regarding the natural component, yes its' true you have to be careful. NO preservatives can be a bad thing, but there are companies that use food grade preservatives which are SAFE to INGEST, which is what you want bc, whatever you put ONTO your skin gets absorbed and has to be delt with by the LIVER. So Toxic preservatives like parabens and propylene glycol are high on my list to avoid. But then...I also want my skincare to WORK!!! LOL, so it's kind of a balance...

I have been using Arbonne products for 2 years and I love them. I don't believe that the price is any different than using over the counter stuff, with the exceptions that now I am not spending $200 a month or every other month. My products last me 5-6 months and the traveling size last me about 2-3 months using them day and night. My mom is 68 and look younger thanks to their products. It is totally worth it, besides you pary $29 to get the discount and you end up getting that money back right on your first order and a free product that is worth $72...When I signed up I got $350 worth of products for $29 because all my friends got a little something at my party. Try it! What other company lets you do that before you buy it?

arbonne product i would best describe as pleasant but hardly revolutionary. looking for a nice, gentle bathing product or moisturizer, sure, arbonne is a good choice. i didn't find the arbonne antiaging line to do much in reducing my fine lines and eye wrinkles. lots of big promises made by my rep (a friend like others mention above!) that just arbonne didn't deliver on i think the dermatologist brands may be a better way to go if younger looking skin is your goal. dr brandt, dr perricone, etc.
