Arbonne International レビュー 201

I was an Arbonne Consultant and after a year of representing the company I gave it up. I did not believe in their products at all! They are extremely expensive, the consultants are NOT trained on the products, and they are not as pure as they advertise. There was not one product I had to have. The protein powder is so high is sugar and carbs. They have waaay too many skincare products for them to all be that great. They make customers pay $28 a year to be preferred and get a cheaper but still expensive price. And the shipping is a lot! I compared their products to others that I could get cheaper and quicker on Amazon and realized I could no longer represent the company.

I purchased the Clear Future range and have been using it consistently for 5 weeks now. I have blemish prone and combination skin (oily t-zone, dry cheeks).

I have used the products in this order (the website's recommended usage is slightly different to how I am using it) ---
AM routine: Deep Pore Blemish Cleanser, Exfoliating Blemish Pads, Intensive Calming Blemish Lotion (on spots only), Mattifying Blemish Lotion (regular spf on top to finish).
EVENING routine: Cleanser, Blemish Pads, Calming Blemish Lotion and then alternate between Mattifying Blemish Lotion or Soothing Overnight Mask (I wouldn't use both as it makes my skin really sticky).
In the PM I would sometimes do the same AM routine (if I had a gym workout or a day out etc) or just use the Blemish Pads and Mattifying Blemish Lotion. I cut the Blemish Pads in half to make them last longer and also because one whole pad had so much excess solution on it which was too much product for my face.

After 5 weeks, my skin definitely feels more supple than before, it has a nice bounce to it. The Soothing Overnight Mask is absolutely amazing and reduces any new red spots overnight, I use it every 2 nights but will increase it to every night once my skin gets used to it. I am not a fan of the Mattifying Blemish Lotion as it dries sticky on my oily t-zone, but once I put my spf on top of it, it is fine.

The reason for 3 stars is because I feel the products are very strong for the skin. I had a huge breakout within the first 2 weeks as my skin got used to the products. I would not recommend starting all the products at the same time, start each product a day or two (or even a week) after the other to let your skin get used to it. The Blemish Pads will make your skin dry and peel around spots so bear that in mind if you're starting this regime. My skin looks slightly worse than before due to the new breakouts but I am hoping that once my skin gets used to this regime and the new pH, it will settle.

I will post an update when I am 3 months in to this regime.

Absolutely disgusting tactics I witnessed my daughter signing up to this company against my advice my daughter asked me to meet up with this guy from Leeds he was very handsome but what a con merchant I could see through him years of dealing with con men like he was however my daughter believed every word he said as my daughter suffers from complexed ptsd she hung onto his every word how they are going to make you very rich have a car within a year omg talk about brain washing getting up at 6am reading scripts hard sell to get people to enrol in this company I wish my daughter had listened and she would not have got into so much debt I beg anyone who knows someone who is wanting to invest is to strongly recommend they don’t I asked this guy if it was pyramid selling he was so argumentative I knew the way he defended the company he was a definite con man with all his good look and charm don’t be fooled he worked in the leeds area stay clear oh buy the way he may of had a very nice handkerchief in his pocket but he was wearing cheap shoes dead give away stay clear.

Thank you for reading my honest review about Arbonne.
I was both a consumer and a Brand Ambassador for this company for a year and a half.
As a customer, I purchased from all their ranges: nutrition, make-up, skincare and haircare. I opened an account for a flat fee of £30 (that you renew every year if you want to keep the business account and/or the preferred client account).

PRODUCT:

It is why I am leaving a 3-star review, it is because the products were not good enough for me and one of the reasons I also left the business.

Nutrition: not convinced. I bought several different brands before Arbonne, consumed Arbonne for 1,5 year and back to consuming other brands that work better than Arbonne. Their famous energy fizz have nothing exceptional. Their collagen fizz are not good. Their greens balance tastes much better than other brands but does not work as good as the one I consume right now. The digestive fizz was not as good as other brands. The protein powders tasted good though. The infusions were really good: tasty and you can tell they do not contain fake flavouring.

Skincare: is a real rip-off. I reacted to some of the products! The creams are not good at all. Too expensive for what they are. Cheaper brands would have done the same job and even better. It was a real disappointment after paying all this money in creams I thought would have changed my skin!

Make-up: is really good. You can tell it contains much less chemicals than other brands, especially the mascara (which I really miss!).

Haircare: I sadly have very difficult (afro) hair and many brands do not work on my type of hair. So I was looking forward to find a great solution with Arbonne. I only ordered one product from this range and it was not suitable/good for my hair type.

BUSINESS

MLM business is suitable for many people but not for everyone and I am one of them. I am in the fitness/dance industry and my social media is in this field. I should be the perfect person for this business but it did not work. It works FAST and WELL if you already are an influencer with a large following audience. If you do not have this massive advantage, you have to go out to network face to face and/or the internet. Expect rejections all the time. I was prepared for it because I built a first business on my own before and I was used to network. So I did not leave these shutting doors stop me. I knew it would not be a get rich quick theme. Months after months and a year and a half later after speaking with MANY people and after applying countless strategies to get 'YES, I AM IN' I ended on the disappointing '0 nul' result... no one said yes and even with all my social media on point, my bubbly outgoing and friendly personality and with my positive mindset, it simply did not work.

CONCLUSION

Overall, the products are average. I reacted to some of them, they were not impressive at all but some specific ones were very good. It is way too slow if you do not have a good audience following on your social media. You always hear these amazing success stories of people who made it to the top of the company (4 levels only) within the space of 6/7 months but they were all influencers. The reality for 'normal' people is that it will take time, commitment and dedication like any businesses in general.
So now I am back being an entrepreneur developing my own business ideas which I enjoy much more. Why promoting a brand for many years if I can be the successful business woman in the same amount of time? When I told my mentor at Arbonne, she was understanding but tried to convince me to stay. If you do not have creativity and/or business ideas but want to be a business person then you should join a MLM company if you are patient. Your mentor (if they are good) will train and coach you. It will lead you to the top and perks that this company offers but again with the time and effort it needs to be build a business.
If you are an influencer already then you should also join a MLM company! It will be a great way to monetise your audience.
If you are like me, a very creative person but still trying to build a business then keep going on the entrepreneurial road and avoid MLM companies which will be a waste of time.

I hope my story will bring relevant information to some of you whether you hesitate to join the business side or if you just want to consume the products.

All the best!

I was recommend this company for a cream to help my scar heal - it did help, although I cannot help thinking any decent cream would do the same. The products are very expensive - I guess to pay the various levels of people selling. I had a reaction to the cream after several months and wrote to them. They asked me to fill out a questionnaire and they would look into it and refund me the money for the unopened pot I had. This was in November last year, numerous emails and no reply, but they keep sending emails trying to sell more product. Seriously would not recommend them at all

Please don’t get involved with this scam. A girl tried to recruit me and having a good look into this I am horrified this sort of company exists and the horror stories. You will end up loosing money and become stuck in their cult like grip because you have invested to much money and time to leave it. You will pay the registration fee plus you have to buy products. In this day and age good luck trying to flog overpriced products to your friends. Guess who are biggest customers that spend the most money on products?.......you got it!...the ‘independent consultants’. It’s not Debbie down the road, it will be you if you sign up. I just can’t bear the thought of someone signing up to a distributor, (sorry I mean ‘independent consultant’ to get around the legal loophole of not being called a pyramid scheme). The good reviews are clearly paid to write them or are by ‘consultants’. For the consultants saying it’s not a pyramid scheme, it is. It is a multi level marketing scheme (MLM). This is basically the same as a pyramid scheme but it is worded very carefully so they can say they aren’t a pyramid scheme.

Arbonne is a company full of values. They aspire to allow people to get their hands and use products that are vegan, cruelty free, toxic free etc.

I see a lot of people commenting how "bad" the business is. I hope whoever reads my review understands signing up for a business with Arbonne (like any other business) is not a get rich fast, or even a 100% success rate. It is not a pyramid scheme although many claim to be. The business ethics are to work hard and build a team (like you would in a company) and invest in products that are good for you while sharing your thoughts.

Arbonne consultants are in no way pushing you to purchase products; like many of the 1 star reviews claim. They simply share why they may use these products and what they like and don't like about them.

Now if you read this far, why didn't i give it 5 star, the company in itself is amazing, their products are simply wonderful and the fact that they are a B-corporation is even better. It is a difficult business to get off the ground it will require hard work and perseverance. Prices are quite expensive but worth it if you care about what you put on your skin or in your body.

Arbonne IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. But if you are looking for clean products, good ethics business, and a very transparent business model give it a go. Regrets come from not putting yourself out there.

One of the girls who works for your company Breana Cole, decided to try and befriend me to sell me products I’m assuming.. We became friends and then she decided to sleep with my boyfriend and send me videos of them. What kind of employees do you people hire? Unfaithful, manipulative, disgusting people. That worker should not be aloud around customers..

A perfect example of a 21st century MLM scam - using social media to approach vulnerable people with promises of riches. Laughable. Do not fall for their lies.

Pyramid scheme... encore!! N'achetés pas ce genre de produit peut-importe quel mensonge comme quoi vous allez magiquement devenir heureux en buvant des shakes protéinés. C'est une stratégie de marketing pathétique utilisé par des personnes sans scrupules seulement intéressés par l'argent que vous leurs donnés et non votre santé. Si c'était le cas, Arbonne aurait déjà fermés leurs porte.

Do not get involved in Arbonne. Their whole system of taking advantage of low earning women is terrible. If anyone starts sending you “friendly spam” and asking to much into your money situation- do not do it! Wasting money down the drain. Plus just another company telling desperate women that they can loose weight with dieting products. Don’t fall for it, you are great as who you are now. If you don’t believe me watch the This Morning segment about the company on ITV telling you how it’s a great way too “loose all your friends and be out of pocket”

The more the people sell the more the people earn above you. Yes it is pyramid selling no matter how much they tell you otherwise. I was lucky enough I had my head screwed on. Save your money and invest into a savings account or stock shares. This is not a way to make money. Be kind to yourself and stay very clear.

It is so incredibly sad to know there are companies such as this which are basically taking advantage of people with little money or new mothers who need some cash with little time. I was manipulated to join this company on false claims, false ‘friendship’ and desperation when short on cash. Please single mother’s/new mother’s/women who think this can “change their lifestyle” and “become a career”, this isn’t the right thing to do. You will be filled with all this “we do this for you” business whereas it is all for their own greed.
If you want to gain no money, be out of pocket more than you started and loose friends then sign up. but be smart! Women are stronger than these silly companies that try to turn you into a “cult” frenzy.
If your so called “friend” wants to “help” you join “selflessly”- unfriend them immediately.

I started using Arbonne products about 7 years ago and my skin and my health has never been better. I’m a Husband and Father of 2 young kids and although I have much less sleep now, I look better and feel better than when I didn’t have kids. I used to have very bad dry skin and the products really helped to combat this.

I was using the products for about a year, getting great results and telling other people about them, just like we do with anything we have a good experience of. I decided to start as a Consultant to continue sharing my love of the products, but start a business and earn money when people purchased the products. Initially it was just to earn a bit of extra money, but I quickly realised if I worked hard in the business and aimed to help lots of other people to start using better, safer products too, this could grow into much more for me and my family.

I am an optimistic realistic and know that anything worth having in life takes work. I’ve read lots of posts on here and elsewhere and what I’ve noticed is all the negative comments are from people who didn’t put the work in. They expected to create massive success without making sacrifices in life and without putting in the hard work. Arbonne is simple, it works if you work, fact! The reality is most people are not willing to do what it takes to create incredible businesses, just like most people aren’t willing to go to gym every day to get that body they want, or put in the extra work in their job to become the CEO, but with Arbonne you can if you want to and then work consistently over time to make it happen.

Success or failure is 100% down to the individual, nothing else and anyone blaming Arbonne or the person who introduced them are just not taking responsibility for their lack of commitment and lack of work ethic.

Arbonne is a an incredible brand of skincare, cosmetics and health related products and have been around since 1980 and now owned by Groupe Rocher. They are a B Certified Corporation, which means they care as much about people and the planet as they do about profits. Look up B Certified Corporations and ideally move your purchasing to these companies as you’ll be doing a great thing for the world.

My advice, try the products, there’s a 45 day money back guarantee, so zero risk. With the business, you’ll never know what you could have been capable of unless you actually start. You might realise you don’t enjoy helping other people and it might not be for you, but more importantly you might LOVE it, like thousands of others do, and might decide to put the work in to change your life. There’s only 1 way to know for sure, do it!

I absolutely love the ethos, the products, and would never recommend anything I didn’t use and love. It’s a Network marketing business which means you run your business by networking. You recommend to your network the products you love- simple as that. If you want to grow your network, you make more friends. Everything you spend money on, you use, so you have nothing to lose!

I started with Arbonne after a recommendation from my sister, she introduced me to a lovely lady.
Like all things not sure to start, so I've been using products for 6 to 8 months and positive improvements.
In last month after all the positive results, now training to promote products and maybe grow a team.
We all have are own goals, I want to top up my pensions..But if you work at anything the skys the limit.

Best company ever to work for. I love that it isn’t a pyramid scheme, and it’s a certified B corporation company putting people and the planet first before profit.

I love the products and reasonably priced i think.

Without this company I wouldn’t have had the confidence to make new friends like I have today.

I wish I could rate it lower than one star as I know someone who started arbonne and after their first year they had spent roughly £60,000 on products and had made £2,000. From what I have figured out about Arbonne I can see that is a poorly hidden pyramid scheme with a cult like following with its consultants befriending people online then surprisingly them with their obsession and the promise of a free Mercedes.
In my personal opinion this company has ruined lives

this is a pyramid scheme... if I could I would give it zero stars, it’s almost as if it’s a master class tricking business..they claim to allow you to “earn money” from up to £500 a week. Seems to good to be true, right? But the truth is you just loose money. It very clear that all the good reviews are either payed to write them or arbonne consultants. Yes the products are some what ok. On to the tricking topic they give you random messages on Facebook or Instagram saying “hi bae found this cool company which you can earn up to 500 pounds a week!!!” They also claim once you work your way up to a certain point you get given money to rent a “white Mercedes” If you work hard enough.. there’s much more to say but overall this company is terrible dont buy from this company

I got the free VIP customer membership with a local rep last year and I have been using the skincare since. I’m mostly impressed that the skincare has lasted so long and I’m using it twice a day, so I haven’t repurchased yet for this reason but will once the time comes. It’s cleared up my chin acne and overall I look fresher 👌🏻
