Arbonne RE9 rejuvinating skin care line compared to over the counter products
  • Miss Patty
    I absolutely LOVE the Arbonne RE9 skin care line, but am trying to switch to something VERY comparable, and not as pricey. Would just like input if anyone has switched, or uses something comparable...Thank you..

    Try Revitol, I have sold the Arbonne and immediately saw a difference in the Revitol and it's much less expensive, I suggest starting with the (3) products. (1) serum in am, (1) serum for the pm, and the moisturizer for each. Good luck!

    It would help if you could provide the ingredient list.

    Check out Votre Vu products too...they are great and reasonably priced! I have a friend who used to sell Arbonne and swore by the RE9 line until she tried the Votre Vu Full Benefits line. One of the ingredients it contains is the peptide Martixyl which is also in Strivectin. Go to www.votrevu.com/linda.

    @kath1118 - I don't know what to make of that indgredient list.  They don't use the standard INCI nomenclature but incorrectly use the chemical supplier's names. 
    For example, Ritapro 165 is a blend of Glyceryl Stearate and PEG-100 Stearate.  It is an emulsifier.
    Captex 8000 is Glycerol Tricaprylate which is an emollient
    Matrixyl is Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3 and is another emollient.
    Isil-100 I think is a version of Dimethicone produced by Chemsil Silicones inc.
    Anyway, I would be a little concerned about a company that can't follow the simple guidelines for labeling their products.  If they do such a slipshod job with their packaging, what can you expect from their safety testing, stability testing and performance testing?
    It's probably fine, but certainly not one of the best moisturizing products on the market.
