If you know any of my other work, you know by now that I’m a sucker for natural acne solutions. I think they’re more beneficial for your face than the chemical alternatives that all the medicinal companies promote. Imagine my surprise when I came across Arbonne’s acne line.

If you don’t know, Arbonne is a multi level marketing/internet marketing company that produces many high quality skin care products that are made with natural botanicals, vitamins and oils rather than harsh chemicals. I think this is great as I think the typical chemicals that people use to treat acne can contribute to more acne breakouts as well as cause your skin to look pretty dull after repeated use.

I only say this because over the years, I have used many different chemicals on my face. While some made me look good initially, eventually they all made my skin look pretty dull. The worst culprit was benzoyl peroxide. This made my skin look absolutely terrible and all it did was keep my acne in check; it could never clear me 100%. Others, like salicylic acid aren’t bad when used sparingly but again they never seemed to clear me.

There’s a slight problem when it comes to reviewing Arbonne. My face is already clear and I just can’t bring myself to try and make myself break out. That would last about a week before I started falling back into my old regime to keep me clear. Arbonne is also only available through their reps so you can’t look around to find a better deal. So no cheap trials for me.

My compromise? Leave it to the people at acne.org to review Arbonne for acne. If you’re unaware, acne.org is one of the best resources for people with acne. It’s comprised mostly of people who are trying to help each other figure out good ways to clear up their skin. One section of the website is dedicated strictly to reviews of products as well as homemade acne treatments. This is one of the best places to go for reviews of acne products because it’s comprised of normal people just giving their honest opinions.

So what did the reviews on acne.org have to say? They gave the Arbonne system a 3.5 out of 5 which is pretty good actually. Most products don’t make it past 3. Now while this is good, I might recommend that you look around a bit more for other solutions. It’s about $40-$50 for their entire system and for that amount of money, I would want to be seeing at least 4 out 5. However, many people are having success so if the money isn’t much of a concern, give it a try. Chances are that you’ll see success with it.

While Arbonne has some very nice ingredients, the price factor and the possibility that their product might not work for me are what put me off. Arbonne really doesn’t have much control over this and it isn’t their fault if it doesn’t work, but I wouldn’t be able to pull the trigger if it were me.

Ultimately, I think you should give homemade solutions a shot before trying to review Arbonne for acne for yourself. Homemade alternatives cost much much less than the Arbonne system and if they don’t work, you can try something else. You could try out 5-15 home solutions for the price of one arbonne system. If cost doesn’t bother you much, give them Arbonne a try, though. It might work great for your face.
