I've used the skin care line and liked it "alright". For me, it didn't do anything magical, so I went back to my very simple routine of cleansing with Cetaphyl. I came away with the notion that Arbonne, while good products, didn't really warrant the rather high price. I think you're paying mostly for packaging -- and perhaps a bit of hype.

My $.02!

I recently started using the Arbonne anti-aging products when I attended a facial peel party at my sister-in-laws and I fell in love with the eye creme, facial enzyme peel and night time moisturizer creme. I have been an Estee lauder consumer for over 10 years and I am switching my brands. I use to manage a counter for lauder at Dillar's and I decided to give the skin care/cosmetic industry another shot. While I have a rewarding career, my dream is to have summer's off and money to travel. I could tell a difference in my completion and puffy eyes within days and have most recently decided to start my own business as a subsidary, wholesale distrbutor and independent consultant. If you would like to try these products, please visit my web site, sign the guest book and I will send you free samples and you will be entered to win a $25 product certificate. If you want to earn extra money or own your own business, I would love to discuss the business and products with you. I have not tried everything but as I run out of what I have been using I am switching to Arbonne because they are natural, botanical products that work!

I totally agree with your original post Kristin. I have always thought that the recommended amount of this or that was way overboard, probably so you will run out sooner and have to buy more. I have been wary of using harsh chemicals for anything, but especially for close contact stuff like detergents, softeners, household cleaners, etc. One of the things I would like to replace with something more natural is deodorant. Anybody have something that works well? I have never tried the Dr Bronner brand, is it good? I make my own soap for personal use and I love it, I wish I could come up with a good shampoo though. Katrs5, I use the same stuff as you do for household cleaning. I'm not much into the bleach either. I have used H2O2 in the laundry for pretty good results. It is better in the environment than bleach. The best thing of all is that when you make your own stuff and use your own common sense about store bought stuff and all the hype that goes with it, you get such a feeling of independence and freedom. When I first broke away from believing I needed everything "they" said I did, I felt like I discovered a well-kept secret. It was liberating.

Nu skin Galvanic Spa treatment

I absolutely love my galvanic spa! I use it on my face, my arms, my stomach and my thighs and it has done wonders for me. I dont see any pressure and if your friend was being pressured, the person she bought it from is in the wrong, not the company. As far as a pyramid scheme, those are illegal and this company has been around for 27 years. If it was a pyramid scheme they wouldn't have lasted that long. Plus they are publicly traded, which means something to me. I can't see how it can be fake when they offer a 90 money back guarantee. Before you bash the way they distribute their products, perhaps you should actually do some research into exactly what a network marketing company is. It's just a different way to get product to market than sticking it on shelves, paying a fortune in advertising and hoping it sells. Instead of putting their money into advertising, they put it into product development which means that 95% of the time, they develop higher quality products. Instead of the retail stores making the money, the distributors make the money. And if you aren't in the business to make money, signing up as a distributor will allow you to get the products at wholesale. If you like them and you share them with your friends, you can actually get paid. Sprint never paid me for telling everybody how much I love my Evo! So what exactly is wrong with network marketing? And if you haven't personally tried the Galvanic Spa, how do you seasonally know it doesn't work? High end salons charge a lot of money for the same treatments. Of course it works. I can personally attest to that.

Carol, There was nothing wrong with your post. You merely said something good about the product, just as maybe someone would about Avon. The SPAM post was by bjplov, on May 18th, who is making money hand over fist selling the stuff...looking to get someone signed up it appears to me. bjpluv said, "To top it off, my husband (who is sceptical of everything) has seen what this business is about and for us, it is not nearly as much about the money as it is giving back to others around us and at the same time changing who we are! I wonder how it changed them...made them beautiful? personable? rich? well I just wonder what she meant about it being about giving back to others around them...Are they giving the product away? Are they looking to help all their friends and relatives get rich? They said it wasn't about the money, so maybe whatever they are making selling it, they are donating 100%. They are hoping to retire the husband in a year and sell it then...so I guess then they won't be giving it back...lol Did any of what she or I said make any sense?

Can anyone recommend a good skin care line?

I just got home from taking my son to SFO to fly to Spain for a year of study abroad, and on the way home I stopped in Berkeley to see an old school friend who I have recently reconnected with via Facebook. She and her husband make organic skin care products and it was fascinating to see all the natural ingredients that go into them. They had pots of things bubbling away that will eventually be distilled and incorporated into their products. She sent me home with some products and I will report back on how I like them.

Arbonne is like a cult, they suck you in to sell their products. Don't get scammed. There are other products out there that are as good for less money and with no strings attached.

Thanks for the warning, Michelle.

Looks like it's another one of those multi-level marketing schemes.

Yup, pyramid scheme. I had a friend at work become an ex-friend because she pushed the crap at me every time we talked.
