Any arbonne consultants I need help! I want to continue using arbonne but this is stopping me!!! I am 17 yrs. I used the arbonne firming body cream made for stretch marks on my lips and face. I clearly didn't need it. The effects made skin very thick and gave me a plumpy fatty look in my skin tissue on my face. I only used it for 3 wks. It has vitamin C and peptide and other anti aging extracts. I stopped using it for awhile. I'm afraid that the plump collagen skin won't go away. My plump tissue on my face and lips looks concerning. I don't believe that any creams regardless of ingredients should be permanent once stop of use... I need help. I need answers. Will the plumpness collagen fade away from the effects of the cream? What should I do to take care of it? ...read more

I visited A Glimpse this past week and was not impressed!We left with mediocre pictures, of all the ones on the disc, maybe 4 out the 26 pictures were somewhat visible. the others were of the placenta, maybe a leg, who knows!We were anticipating the 4D ultrasound for months and loved all the other pictures and DVDs we ve seen of our friends babies, but we felt like we wasted $115. I can t say for sure, but I feel like part of reason why the quality was lacking is due partly to the skill level of the tech (didn t seem like she knew what was going on). We re mostly disappointed with the fact that our 2D ultrasounds from the hospital were much clearer and we don t even have to pay for those! ...read more

I have been getting many emails about Arbonne's new RE9 Advanced. I hope this helps to answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to call me, or email me if you have any questions. Thank you for finding my listing here on Merchant Circle, please visit my Independent Consultant myarbonne website to view all of Arbonne's products. Q: Why did Arbonne change NutriminC RE?A: Anti-aging product technologies have changed significantly since the launch of NutriMinC RE. Arbonne is updating the NutriMinC RE product line in 2010 with new science, enhanced ingredients and clinically proven, more visible results. The functionality and aesthetics of the packaging was also improved. The result is an anti-aging skin care product line that is still pure, safe, beneficial. Q: What is the difference between RE9 Advanced and NutriMinC RE?A: RE9 Advanced products have demonstrated clinically proven, visible results in 24 hours. The formulations contain advanced collagen-supporting ingredients in sophisticated and more functional packaging. RE9 Advanced formulas still contain 9 elements with key botanicals, however the mix has been updated to increase efficiency. Kojic acid was removed and replaced with algae extract. Algae extract supports collagen through moisturization, helping to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Enhanced botanicals added to the line are sea buckthorn oil, which supports supple tone and smooth skin; kudzu, which improves the appearance of skin firmness and tone; marine lavender, which helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles; hydrolyzed lupine protein and alfalfa seed extract, which visibly diminish under-eye bags and puffiness and increase the appearance of skin tone and firmness; and beech tree, which improves skin moisturization and smoothes the appearance of wrinkles. Improvements in functionality and aesthetics are apparent in the RE9 Advanced packaging. The Smoothing Facial Cleanser and Nourishing Body Wash are available in tubes, with center dispensing caps for ease of use in the shower. Products that have the same ounce-count were produced in a different color to differentiate on your sink or counter. The RE9 Advanced packaging also features airless pumps that easily and effectively release product, with a combined evacuation rate of 94%. Each pump is able to release product after approximately just three pumps. Q: Why was the flaxseed removed from the Collagen Support Dietary Supplement?A: The flaxseed was removed to allow room for new ingredients that are targeted to support collagen production, nourish the skin and provide antioxidant protection to help provide a youthful skin appearance. The flaxseed can now be found in the Omega-3 Plus, which helps promote concentration and mental acuity for optimal health and wellness, while supporting a healthy cardiovascular system and joint health. The Omega-3 Plus delivers 1,000 mg of essential fatty acids in just two capsules instead of the four capsules required for the NutriMinC RE REsist. Q: Why did the prices increase with RE9 Advanced?A: RE9 Advanced delivers results at or above others in the anti-aging market, while still pure, safe, beneficial. RE9 Advanced formulas met our expectations in performance, ingredients and technology, value, packaging and functionality. RE9 Advanced is competitively priced in the market given the value and performance of our products, supported by clinical results. Q: Are the pumps different?A: The RE9 Advanced pumps feature airless pump packaging, with no dip tubes inside. This means that the product evacuates more effectively. Previous NutriMinC RE product evacuated at a rate of 80%, whereas the RE9 Advanced product evacuates at a rate of 94% on average. The new RE9 Advanced products have a stroke-to-prime rate of 3. This means the average number of pumps it takes for product to come out is just three, compared to a much larger average with NutriMinC RE. Q: Are there still 9 elements with RE9 Advanced?A: Yes! RE9 Advanced still contains 9 elements with key botanicals. Kojic acid was removed and replaced with algae extract. Algae extract supports collagen through moisturization, helping to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The vitamin C was also improved with RE9 Advanced. Vitamin C at a high concentration, and stable form, penetrates the skin better and helps support collagen, critical for skin strength and elasticity. It also helps provide antioxidant protection against free radical damage. Algae extract enhances the activity of vitamin C on the skin's outer layer, dramatically diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Q: How does the RE9 Advanced Firming Body Cream work better than the previous NutriMinC RE Serum and Lotion?A: The Firming Body Cream is formulated with advanced moisturizing peptide technology to improve elasticity and smoothness. It has been formulated to produce better results than the NutriMinC RE Body Serum and Lotion together. Peptides help to firm the look and improve the appearance of skin elasticity and smoothness. Oat kernel extract helps to firm and immediately lift the look of skin. This results in a firmer, more toned skin appearance. Q: Why did some of the ounce-counts decrease with RE9 Advanced?A: All the RE9 Advanced product sizes are consistent and on the same usage schedule. Only two product sizes were adjusted in ounce-count, the Restorative Day Crème SPF 20 and the Regenerating Toner. With the new pump engineering for the Restorative Day Crème, the usage rate was recalibrated to be in-line with the usage rates of the other RE9 face products. The Regenerating Toner features a new spray mechanism that dispenses as a mist and evacuates the right amount of product per use. The usage rate is consistent with the former Toner. Q: How does the RE9 Advanced product line stack up against competitive product?A: RE9 Advanced formulas are competitive with benchmarks in performance, ingredients and technology, value, packaging and functionality. The RE9 Advanced product line provides results, while still pure, safe, beneficial, with proven clinical results in 24 hours. Q: Are the RE9 Advanced products environmentally friendly?A: The RE9 Advanced product cartons are FSC certified. FSC is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world's forests. Q: How are the clinical studies tested?A: The RE9 Advanced line was tested with a third party research group, for clinical performance and user preference evaluation with consumers over eight weeks. Results were determined with instrumentation to measure hydration or moisturization levels of the skin. Perception studies were conducted to determine consumer appeal and perceived efficacy. Clinical photos were used to document the change in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and silicone replicas were used to make impressions for measurements. The results are remarkable. The study revealed that 83% of participants reported increased skin firmness within 24 hours; 92% reported a reduction in the appearance of fine lines within one week; 96% reported a refinement in skin texture and smoothness within one week; and an overwhelming 100% said they would recommend RE9 Advanced to their friends and family. Q: What are the results you can expect if you've been using NutriMinC RE?A: RE9 Advanced was tested with existing NutriMinC RE users in a clinical environment. Eight weeks with NutriMinC RE, plus four weeks with RE9 Advanced, demonstrated an improvement in results faster than in new RE users. Results showed significantly improved appearance in texture and smoother skin, significantly decreased coarse wrinkles, an increase in skin hydration and an increase in the look of skin firmness. Q: Why is an Age-Defying Neck Cream important to use?A: Neck cream is essential to an effective anti-aging skin care regimen. The skin on the neck is thinner and sensitive, and can easily show signs of aging. Proteins in the Age-Defying Neck Cream help to reverse the appearance of aging skin and lessen the look of wrinkles. This peptide technology, together with algae and polysaccharide polymers, helps to visibly lift, tighten and firm the skin in the neck area. Q: Why is Arbonne not offering a masque or scrub in the RE9 Advanced line?A: The NutriMinC RE Deep Pore Cleansing Masque and Facial Scrub are too harsh for aging skin. Pores should be refined, not cleansed in an anti-aging product. Mechanical scrubs are not appropriate for aging skin exfoliation. At Arbonne, we are dedicated to offering the best products with the most effective results. A new masque with relevant anti-aging technology is scheduled to be launched in the fall of 2010. Q: Why is Arbonne not offering an Enzyme Peel or Wrinkle Filler in the RE9 Advanced line?A: The results obtained with the NutriMinC RE Enzyme Peel and Wrinkle Filler are not on par with RE9 Advanced standards for value, ingredients and technology, functionality and packaging. The introduction of an improved masque in fall 2010 will address combined benefits from both the NutriMinC RE Enzyme Peel and Deep Pore Cleansing Masque, but enhanced with RE9 Advanced ingredients and technology. Since its introduction in 2008, the NutriMinC RE Wrinkle Filler has experienced low sales volume. The Wrinkle Filler is a topical temporary product that does not address the source issues of aging skin. The comprehensive RE9 Advanced line addresses anti-aging at its source, not just symptoms. Q: What comes in the RE9 Advanced Set?A: The RE9 Advanced set contains all six products for face, including a complimentary travel-size Age-Defying Neck Cream. The six products for face include: Smoothing Facial Cleanser, Regenerating Toner, Intensive Renewal Serum, Corrective Eye Crème, Restorative Day Crème SPF 20, and Night Repair Crème. The set comes packaged in a beautiful RE9 Advanced box. Q: How can you tell if you are running out of RE9 Advanced product?A: Since RE9 Advanced products are not transparent, it might be difficult to tell when the products are running low. There are a few ways to address this issue: All the RE9 Advanced products can be opened. The bottle tops can come off and the tube caps can be popped open. This will enable you to visually determine if it is time to order more products. The RE9 Advanced Set Special allows you to purchase two RE9 Advanced Sets at once for $20 off. This special will ensure you always have RE9 Advanced product on hand. You can order the RE9 Advanced Set on Autoship, to ensure your supply is periodically replenished. Arbonne rewards Autoship customers with vouchers good toward free product when orders average $125+, $250+ or $500+ SRP every six months. Q: Are there any side-effects to mixing NutriMinC RE product with RE9 Advanced product?A: No. There are no side-effects to mixing both lines together, should you still have some NutriMinC RE product on hand. However, please note that the clinical studies shown represent using the entire new RE9 Advanced face system in conjunction with the Collagen Support Dietary Supplement. Q: Are the RE9 Advanced products formulated without gluten?A: Yes, the RE9 Advanced products are formulated without gluten. Q: Are the RE9 Advanced products dermatologist and opthamologist tested?A: Yes, the following RE9 Advanced products are dermatologist tested: Smoothing Facial Cleanser, Regenerating Toner, Intensive Renewal Serum, Corrective Eye Crème, Restorative Day Crème SPF 20, and Night Repair Crème.The following RE9 Advanced products are ophthalmologist tested: Corrective Eye Crème and Regenerating Toner. Q: How do we use RE9 Advanced with Revelâge?A: RE9 Advanced and Revelâge work synergistically to produce optimal results for those with the specific concern of age spots and discoloration. For those looking to aggressively target age spots and skin discoloration, use the Revelâge Concentrated Age Spot Minizmier after the RE9 Advanced Regenerating Toner and before the Intensive Renewal Serum. At night, use the Revelâge Pro-Brightening Night Serum in place of the Intensive Renewal Serum. For those who are more concerned with reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but have a few age spots and skin discoloration, we recommend using the Revelâge Age Spot Minimizer both day and night, after the Regenerating Toner and before Intensive Renewal Serum. The Revelâge Age Spot Brightening Hand Therapy SPF 30 can be used with both integration methods anytime of the day. Q: How do you use the RE9 Advanced Firming Body Cream?A: The Firming Body Cream uses an advanced peptide technology to improve elasticity and smoothness of the skin. It should be used daily, morning and/or night. Apply liberally to skin, by starting at your ankles and working up your entire body. The Firming Body Cream works best on legs, thighs, stomach, arms and buttocks. This luxurious cream supports collagen and elastin to help promote a firmer, more toned, smoother look and feel to skin. Q: Why is the Host Gift no longer available?A. The NutriMinC RE Host Gift Set is no longer available due to the discontinuation of the NutriMinC RE Body Lotion and Serum. However, there are two new SeaSource Detox Spa® Host Gift Sets available, both priced at $25 with every $150 SRP purchase. The original SeaSource Detox Spa Host Gift Set is still available for $35 with every $150 SRP purchase. Based on Field research, we found the most common get-together theme is anti-aging. Often Arbonne Hosts are attempting to earn rewards toward these products. Since the SeaSource Detox Spa line, used in conjunction with anti-aging products, can maximize the results, we want to provide multiple sets for our Business Builders to gift to their Hosts so they too can maximize results. That way, once a Host earns RE9 Advanced products, she will have everything she needs for a successful skin care system. Furthermore, the SeaSource Detox Spa line is not gender-specific, making it a great Host gift for all types of get-togethers. Q: When do I use the Age-Defying Neck Cream and Instant Lift Gel?A: The RE9 Advanced Age-Defying Neck Cream should be used twice daily (morning and night) after the Restorative Day Crème SPF 20 or Night Repair Crème, as the last step. The Instant Lift Gel can be used daily in the morning, after the Intensive Renewal Serum and before your Restorative Day Crème SPF 20. The Instant Lift Gel can also be used at night or prior to a special event, when you desire an instant feeling of lift. Q: Where can I find clinical data about RE9 Advanced?A: RE9 Advanced clinical data, with before and after photos, can be found on arbonne.com/RE9Advanced, within the RE9 Advanced Brochure, and on the RE9 Advanced Product Overview DVD. The RE9 Advanced Face sample pack also contains clinical data. Q: Is the RE9 Advanced Travel Set still available?A: Yes, the RE9 Advanced Travel Set is available and comes with all 10 face and body products in a beautiful travel bag, including mesh pouf. It is available for purchase with every $250 SRP order increment. Q: Will NutriMenC RE update to reflect RE9 Advanced technologies and packaging?A: Yes. We are currently working on updating the NutriMenC RE technologies and packaging so it fits with RE9 Advanced. Scheduled to launch May 2010, NutriMenC RE will be enhanced to reflect newer technologies, upgraded branding and value. ...read more
