Arbonne NutriMinC Review

Overview

Arbonne is a company that markets all of its beauty products through the “network approach”, meaning that independent home distributors offer these products to the general public. You can also order directly from the company website. The development of these products began in Switzerland in 1975, with a focus on botanical ingredients to provide health and beauty products for the inside and the outside of your body. According to the company website, the Arbonne NutriMinC products are designed with nine key anti-aging elements, which are listed in full on the Arbonne NutriMinC treatment page.

While you can purchase the items individually, Arbonne NutriMinC recommends that you buy the entire set and use it together for best results. This package consists of five topical treatments that include a facial scrub, a cleansing mask, an enzyme peel, a transforming lift and a wrinkle filler. There is also an oral supplement that can be purchased in addition to the topical products for even greater benefit. The entire package of treatment products costs a little over $160 on the company website, while the entire Arbonne NutriMinC RE9 skin care set that includes seven products has a price tag of nearly $300. This larger set includes daily skin care products like a cleanser and toner, day and night cream, eye cream and facial serum. These sets include a large number of products to use regularly, which can be an intimidating prospect to the woman on the go who doesn't have much time for skin care. The high price tag can also be a turn off.

Product Details

The nine key anti-aging elements include the antioxidant alpha lipoic acid, vitamin C to support collagen and elastin, the skin lightening agent kojic acid, and alpha and beta hydroxyl acids to diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Another ingredient that is found in the Arbonne NitriMinC is GABA, also known as gamma-aminobutyric acid. This ingredient, along with hyaluronic acid, claim to soften and diminish lines and wrinkles on the face.

There are customer testimonials and before and after pictures on the Arbonne website to support the effectiveness of these products. However, there are no clinical trials or research cited to back up the anti-aging claims of the Arbonne NutriMinC skin care sets. Many of the ingredients listed may have some positive benefits to the skin, but proven anti-aging ingredients like peptides are noticeably absent from these rosters.

The Good

• There are quality ingredients in these products that may have a positive effect on the skin.
• Arbonne NutriMinC products can be purchased individually for better cost effectiveness.

The Bad

• The entire Arbonne NitriMinC set comes with many products to keep track of and a hefty price tag.
• Proven anti-aging ingredients like matrixyl, collagen or argireline are noticeably absent.
• We could find no clinical research to back up company claims for this product.

The Bottom Line

Arbonne NutriMinC has a reputation for providing quality skin care to its customers. However, for the price of the treatment package known as the Arbonne NutriMinC RE9, you can find more effective anti-aging ingredients for your money elsewhere. More information and customer incentives would make this product package a bit more appealing.
