PRODUCT REVIEW: ARBONNE RE9 SMOOTHING FACIAL CLEANSER AND REGENERATING TONER AND NOURISHING FACIAL OIL

Today I'm going to talk about a couple of products from Arbonne that I've been putting to the test lately, which includes the RE9 Smoothing Facial Cleaner, the RE9 Regenerating Toner, and the Nourishing Facial Oil. And if you're regularly stopping by my little blog, you'll know that I've always been very impressed with Arbonne and the products that I've tried, so needless to say that I was also very happy putting these to the test.

Let's start with the Arbonne RE9 Smoothing Facial Cleanser. The RE9 range gets its name from the 9 potent ingredients that have been used in the products, which includes algae extract, vitamin C, bio-hydria complex, vitaspheres, elhibin, stimu-tex, alpha lipoic acid, copper, peptide and alpha and beta hydroxyl acids. Combining these ingredients with botanical ingredients including pineapple and papaya enzymes, marine lavender extract, beech tree bud extracts and kudzu root extract claims to “help support collagen and elastin production, nurturing the skin, leaving it softer and hydrated”.

This thick and rich foaming cleanser is easily washes away all makeup, except for my waterproof which I regardless still prefer to remove with a separate eye makeup remover first. The cleanser is very gentle, and does leave my skin feeling soft and smooth, and not dry or stripped from essential oils unlike many other cleansers. I love that it comes in an easy to use pump bottle, and that it has a fresh gentle scent of orange.

I then follow with the Arbonne RE9 Regenerating Toner, which I have actually previously in full, which you can see here. In short, this cleanser in a convenient pump bottle, making it super easy to apply after cleansing the skin - but of course, as you spray it onto the skin, unlike other toners that you swipe across the skin with a cotton pad, this one doesn't remove any remaining makeup or cleanser, but rather it soothes and refreshes the skin and add extra moisture and vitamins and helps regenerate the skin. In addition, I have also enjoyed using it on top of my makeup throughout the day to freshen it up. Like the RE9 Cleanser it also contains the 9 potent ingredients, and it does feel lovely on the skin, and I love the fact that it too has anti-ageing properties and is so gentle that it doesn't strip my skin with harsh ingredients and alcohol. 

Finally, there's Arbonne Nourishing Face Oil which contains among others omega fatty acids 3 and 6 and a super antioxidants, and promises to help support the skin, giving it intense hydration and moisture, improve the look of the skin's texture, and give the skin a more illuminated, radiant and even-toned complexion. With my combination ski, I am always concerned when I use not just oils, but any concentrated products on my skin, as they have shown to often quickly make my skin very congested and make it breakout. But thankfully that has not been the case with this oil, which is very light in consistency, and hence absorbs quickly into the skin without any greasiness. And it is very concentrated too, so you only need about 2-3 drops to cover your full face and neck.

The Nourishing Face Oil comes in a gorgeous white glass bottle with a convenient dropper that makes it easy to dispense just the amount of product needed. It has a slightly odd, slightly chemical scent that I'm not particularly fond off, but luckily it does fade rather quickly so it's not really an issue.

After having used the oil for a few weeks, prior to my usual moisturiser morning and night, I can definitely see that it has added intense moisture and nourishment to my skin, as it does look plumper and consequently also more radiant and glowing. I am not sure if it has made any significant difference to evening out my patchy and pigmented skin tone, but I'd also be surprised if a skincare product could correct in just a few weeks, what has been developing over many many years!

Overall I have yet again enjoyed trying out these products from Arbonne. The RE9 Cleanser and Toner are really lovely, and great for my ageing skin, and combined with the Nourishing Oil, my skin is without a doubt looking a little healthier and radiant, and hence also more well-rested and younger too.
