 ARBONNE anti aging skin care kit

Have you heard of ARBONNE? Have you ever tried it?  I thought i would try out this highly talked about product ARBONNE.  It boasts of anti aging properties, natural ingredients, and many other positive skin care concepts. 

I was very excited about using this product, since i am obsessed with anti age products, wrinkle fighters, and any youthful age defying product.  I mean how could i go wrong with this product claiming to only offer the highest quality ingredients made from bio chemists and herbalists?

So i begin to try…..i use every morning and every evening. Wash, eye cream, face cream etc.  After a week and a half i start to notice the lightening of a dark spot near my eye….i am ecstatic….then the bumps come.  Many many small little bumps all over my face like sand paper. I figure i am just breaking out, i continue to use my new product but the face never seems to get any better. Now i am freaking, using all my acne products.

I call my consultant and order the acne pills that ARBONNE sells and i hear they work wonders.  I know two other girls whom have used them and they love what they do.  Ofcourse i use the pills and….nothing…..no change what so ever.

I quit using this product and start with something else, which is working and making me happy.  I don’t mean to be negative about ARBONNE.  It just didn’t work for me.  A friend of mine is using it regularly and really seems to like it.

I will say that i loved the night cream. I used it all over and its wonderful.  The lifting serum seems to roll off the skin after a few hours, and we all now how gross that is.  The sunscreen is also a little thick and keeps the face shiny, but in defense of ARBONNE……..i have never found a sunscreen that isn’t a thick, sticky, pore clogging mess anyways.
