Arbonne skincare product review

Just after Christmas I spotted a thread in a local business women's Facebook group asking for if any of us wrote a blog and whether we would be interested in reviewing a product. The product was a skin care range by Arbonne. I don't often wear make up and my skincare regime isn't really a regime: does water count? So I was excited to get to try something out.
I was brought a selection of products to trial. These included the RE anti-aging range and a primer and foundation. They were delivered in an attractive storage container. As I primarily work with young families and babies I was sent some of their ABC range too - a body lotion, and a Hair & Body Wash. I am 31 so decided against trialling the RE Advanced Regenerating Toner and Day Crème and instead stuck with the products I was most likely to buy if I were to do so: the make up primer, the smoothing facial cleanser, the ABC range and the RE Advanced Corrective Eye Crème.
I really enjoyed the feeling of my skin after using the smoothing facial cleanser for the week I had the trial kit. This is the product I have missed since my trial ended. It definitely makes my skin feel cleaner than my usual water and flannel approach to skin care. After almost 3 years of no sleep my eyes age me. I was therefore keen to try the RE Advanced Corrective Eye Crème but was disappointed by it. Arbonne pride themselves on pure products but this made the skin under my eyes burn to the point where I had to wash it off and I didn't risk it a second time. My youngest child had a similar reaction to the ABC Body Lotion and cried very quickly after we had applied it to his skin. He is almost 3, he was able to tell us that it hurt. This reaction was not something I was expecting and did disappoint me. But the cleanser and toner did make my skin feel better. I don't wear make up regularly and although sent a foundation to try it didn't match my skin tone. I had a play and it was smooth, not too heavy and didn't feel too noticeable.


The trial kit products I was sent retail at £135. Did I enjoy them enough to buy them, well no. Did I enjoy having a play and finding some new products, yes. I may have purchased the cleanser but cost at £35 was too high for me to justify it.
