I have a question if anyone can answer it.

I tried a hand lotion from Arbonne and was told that it was "all natural." However, after I tried it my hands broke out in a rash. The lady said that was wierd since it was "all natural". Here is my theory, if it is "all natural" wouldn't it have some ingredients from plants, etc. that someone could be allergic too?

I have not tried Arbonne since because I was afraid of the reaction to it. I have no complaints against it, but if someone could tell me if anyone else has had similar reactions to this product let me know. Thank you.

I had 2 severe allergic reactions to fizz sticks via Arbonne. Paramedics were even called. Horrible experience and life threatening.

Can I ask what was the experience... I too had drank one and my eyesight was crazy.... wondering what your reaction was?

Guest

ive had an unopened gelee tub for about 2 years an i decided to try it.. i checked to make sure it was safe first an its said unopened 3-5 years it would he fine..

.. and also if open it wouldnt cause a reaction.. so i thought it was safe.. i had been at a fitness class nite b4 and my muscles where aching.

i put the gelee on legs and chest area and neck.. felt great at 1st and nice and cool an muscles didnt seem as sore.. after about 5 mins i felt my chest hot an itchy.. i jst thought i was hot..

then it started to burn... i looked and my chest was red and blotchy and burning.. i wiped it off and added aloe vera gel to calm it.. but still burning..

so had to shower an remove it all off.. my chest is still red an blotchy an nippy.. any ideas i thought this was all natural and safe.. i am not allergic to anything that i know off..

although lanolin made me itchy an blotchy years ago.. but i didnt think that was in this product?

I tried it for the first time last night. My whole face was instantly red and painful but I went to bed like that thinking it was just the effects of the microdermabrasion product.

This morning I was swollen, red, bumpy, eyes hurt and severe headache. I Went to doctor and was diagnosed with contact dermatitis and have to be on prednisone. I am allergic to certain fruits like mangoes, pineapple, kiwi and strawberries.

I'm also sensitive to tomatoes and too much lemon. I think maybe some of the acids in the product may be derived from fruits like this.

I went to an Arbonne party 6 days ago and had a reaction immediately after using the under eye cream. My face was red for 3 days and is still dry and scaly under my eyes.

My right eye hasnโ€™t stopped watering since and itโ€™s extremely excessive. I have to carry tissues around because tears run down my face.

The eye doctor said itโ€™s contact dermatitis and has me on an antihistamine. Please be aware when testing these products

I had severe eye irritation after using the Re 9 products. I had to go to an opthomologist several times and was on eye drops for a couple of months.

Guest

I used one of their lipsticks & a lip gloss & my mouth the next day was hugely swollen & blistered. I've worn full make up,from many different brands,every day for over 40 years & never before had an allergic reaction.

It lasted over a week & had to take anti histamine & use a steroid cream in all that time (as advised by a pharmacist) before my lips went back to normal.I'm currently trying to get a refund but it's like getting blood out of a stone."All natural" doesn't mean you can't be allergic to it & they don't list the ingredients on their products ( unlike reputable companies!) so I have no way of knowing what I reacted to. Would never buy again fromthem!

Guest

SAME REACTION but unfortunately it is on my FACE. Used some lotion samples and now I have flaky, terribly dry, painful contact dermatitis around my mouth and nose.

It looks terrible and cannot be fixed with anything. Glad I didn't purchase. This garbage is not all natural and the fact people keep touting that is an embarrassment.

I have not changed my usual routine at all (diet or skincare) so I am certain that the Arbonne is the cause. So horribly disappointed.

Not sure who keeps telling you it is "all natural" but Arbonne products use a combination of the best of plants along with safe science. Even if something is "all natural" you can still be allergic to is.

I am allergic to certain plants and things in nature. "All natural" is not always a good thing.

Guest

I bought the full RE9 system and have used it faithfully about 6 days. I woke up yesterday morning with puffy face and red raised rash.

I stopped using the Arbonne. Woke up this morning with very puffy swollen face, eyes nose and red raised rash.

Went to urgent care and was given script for Medrol Pack(prednisone).

Needless to say, I am returning the products. Such a shame, I was hoping it would work.

Anonymous ... I tell all my clients that your body may transition from toxic to non-toxic because with products that we can buy at our local pharmacy store, we have been sealing in all kinds of toxins and with mineral oil used as a main ingredient, a by-product of the distillation of gasoline, our entire lives, there is some transitioning that needs to happen.

With Arbonne, a botanically based company and they text to ZERO toxicity. So I suggest to allow for your body to release the toxins for a period of approximately 2 weeks and you'll start seeing a difference.

All my clients that reacted and stuck with it, have not only seen amazing results, but since they allowed for their faces to transition, they are healthier for it! Any questions please let me know.

Guest

Thank goodness it's not just me. I done the facial spa party with the re9 and being assured it was all natural (not botanical) I noticed some tingling but fully warned the rep i'd very sensitive skin.

She made sure I avoided the scrubs, etc and as I liked the overall feel I wanted the calm range only to be told that was for teenage girls and re9 was my way to go because I'm 30. 3 days after getting my products my face is on fire, I've small bumps all over my cheeks and around my mouth, my nose feels raw..... When I informed the rep I'm very allergic she told me to keep using it and asked if I patted my face dry when using the cleanser- seriously?! You're suggesting I keep using this?!

Horrified about the response and how they've never had anyone react to it before.... Clearly this isn't the case

I had the same reaction using Calming range.. face felt hot & had rough parches & lumps all over..

like turned into crocodile skin.. Was told by Arbonna consultant to give it 45 dats for whole skin cycle to rub its pace & you will find difference. The only difference i found was that no one could find my flipping face uder all the crazy rashes from using this junk.

I went back to using my previous skin care regime & all went CALM & back to normal. Returning whole pack ASAP

I have had an acute allergic reaction to Arbonne Foundation and following multiple visits to my doctor have now been referred to a dermatologist. Face and forehead are very inflamed with patches of flaking skin.

Tightness around both eyes and one eye had swelling.

I'm 45 years old and have always used well known brands and have never until now (after switching to Arbonne to support a friend in her new business venture) had any skin allergies. It's not for me due to very bad experience.

Guest

I broke out in a horrible rash from their deodorant

Guest

I have been using RE9 since July. Shortly after, my eyes began to water...ALL THE TIME!

I attributed it to allergies. Never did I think it was Arbonne, being that it's all natural. After 5 months of watery eyes that were getting worse, I decided to elimanate things I was using in order to pinpoint the problem. When I completely stopped all arbonne products, my eyes stopped watering.

I thought it was worth sharing, as it took me 5 months to realize it was my facial cleansers/moisturizers that was causing the problem.

My skin looks better now that I have stopped. I am using Aveeno products and have no problems!

AVEDA has legit real products! Arbonne is a sham.

The formulator who created Aveda for Estรฉe Lauder was originally dr peter Matravers. He is the chief formulator of Arbonne, so it's a little strange for you to call two products by the same formulator "legitimisation" and a "sham". I tend to prefer fact to opinion ended up here by accident...time to leave this thread methinks.

My eyes water *** amounts since using re9 and the makeup, not a good look when training as a beautician...
