As for ProActive, I LOVE it. Its light, easy to use (meaning quick!) and it WORKS! After a day or two acne is going away and my skin is smooth and soft...its AMAZING...

Mathematically, it's true!

The average American lives to be 83. Let's round UP to 90. Middle is one of 3: youth, middle age, and old age. Divide 90 into thirds, and those are birth-30, 31-60 and 61-death.

OMG! I'm 59 and now I feel like I'm circling the drain.:eek:

Walmart has a "set" of products like ProActive that works great and is much, much cheaper ($17.95 last time I bought it).

Since I started using mineral make-up I rarely have break-outs, but I buy this for my sons...one starting puberty and one almost done with it. Both had bad problems with acne and the Walmart brand works just as well as ProActive

Linda, if you dont mind me asking, what type of product would you recomment starting with at Arbonne to get the idea? You sold this product the same time you did PC?

No, I didn't sell. I signed for the discount and 'technically' that makes me a consultant for them. So, if I want to continue using them I'll have to sign under my husband's name to do it. I use their Re line (orange bottles).
 
have been wanting to try Bare Escentuals but like everyone else has said...it is expensive. I did just see it at Target today for half price!! They had a starter kit with everything you need to start for $49. I guess it is usually $110 for the stuff in that kit. When I run out of my neutrogena I am going to try the Bare Escentuals

I have never paid more than $60 for the starter kit. It is sold at Ulta and Sephora stores and websites or the Bare Escentuals website.
 
I wear Mary Kay's tinted moisturizer. I do not like to wear a lot of makeup so I like the natural feel and look.

I order mine from Sephora. Usually end up getting free shipping and you get some extra goodies because they always offer 3 samples with your purchase.

As for the generic proactive available at places like Target and WalMart, did not work at all for me! The stuff I used was called AcneFree, it was a 3 step system, all it did was severely dry out my skin and cause more break outs.
I love proactive and Bare Minerals!

I have tried almost every acne system out there and none of them worked for me as well as proactiv has. Trust me... I would LOVE to spend less than $49 every two months, but I can't since they don't work for me. Proactiv has an extra strength system that they don't advertise and that is the one I use.
 
Katie, My sister and I just found BeautiControl and love it. We have both noticed a difference in our aging skin:) Maintenance, repair and prevention is the key. I was never a make up wearer and my sister told the lady to help me all she could. It is great! Send me an e-mail and I will send you information. [email protected]
