I agree with the poster who said if you use too much, you'll feel sticky and greasy. It's very concentrated and just a dab does the job. I, too, found it very "tacky" and sticky at first, but I realized I wasn't letting some of the products dry before applying the next step. If you allow the spray facial toner and hydrating lift to completely dry, you'll feel a HUGE difference.
As for the price, it is pretty steep, but keep in mind, if you pay the $29 to become a consultant, you receive 35% off of anything you order - that's a very generous discount.....most other companies offer their "employees" 10%-20% off. You need so little of the products for them to be effective that they last a LONG time, so the price is really inexpensive "per serving".
I've only been using the products for three days and the main difference I've experienced thus far is that my skin already feels better, and I had this HUGE zit, cyst or something gross on my cheek. When I get these, they take a week or more to disappear. I put some cleansing wash directly on the thing before I went to bed and the next morning it was significantly and noticeably reduced in size. It had a hard growth under the skin and a pimple-like head on the surface. The head was flatter and the hard growth beneath was GONE....I am not kidding. If the NutriMinC RE9 cleanser works this well on zits, how great must their actual acne products be???
I'm not touting this because I signed up to be a consultant trying to sell it. I don't intend to sell...just signed up to get significant future discounts. If my results become so noticeable that people start asking me about what I'm using and they want to buy from me - FANTASTIC - but I won't be approaching people as a sales person, so I have nothing to gain by bragging on thse products. Also, I'll tell you, there are eBay sellers auctioning these products off and you can buy them cheaper than with the consultant discount. I didn't think to check eBay out before signing up, but I'm still going to buy from Arbonne directly because my purchases help the consultant who signed me up and I'm grateful to her for introducing me to these great products.
One thing I was very disappointed in is the outrageous shipping charges. I ordered one foundation makeup and one concealer and shipping was $14.95 plus an "exclusive shipping" fe of $9.00 - that's $23.95 to ship two small things that don't weigh 6 ounces.
I'll keep you posted as to my results as time progresses.*
