I am very allergic to Arbonne. One of the ingredients is watercress which gives me poison ivy. I like Mary Kay and Avon.

I have rosecea and Mary Kay is one product that I can use without break outs.

I have used Mary Kay for about 22 years. I have not tried the other. I personally see no reason for myself to switch.

My daughter is an Arbonne rep and when she started out I spent about $450.00. Got bunches of goodies for myself and my mom. I really like it but cannot afford to buy it all again so I have limited myself to the shampoo, conditioner and face lotion. She quickly became discouraged soon after she became a rep. I guess mainly because of the cost not many people buy it. I do think it is a good product though.

Arbonne feels wonderful on the skin...I recommend it if you can afford it.

Use to use Mary Kay, changed over to Bare Minerals for the last five years and couldn't do without it.

I think we all have different skin issues so can have varying success with products. I have been discouraged over the years with the process of buying from a rep, sometimes they would simply disappear. I hated the routine of having to find a new line.

Other times the product would change formulation so it wouldn't work for me any more. Even Polmolive face soap changed.:(

I had a lot of trouble after my bout with lymphoma and was even getting some scaring. My daughter introduced me to the Philosophy line that had been recommended by her dermatologist. My skin has never been this good in all my life. It only took 3 or 4 basic products. I love it!

Check out Paula Begouns' web site called Beautypedia. She lists most products on the market and the website is free this month only. She knows her ingredients and why they are good or bad.
