Skin renewal

by AA

in San Jose, CA on 10/22/09

Pros: Lightweight, Moisturizes, Non-Greasy, Softens Skin, Soothes Skin

Describe Yourself: Minimalist

Best Uses: Fine Lines/Wrinkles, Sensitive Skin

Age: 55+

Skin Type: Dry

Bottom Line: recommended

I use this every other night after cleansing (alternating with the Night Worker PM Repair). I use only Arcona products on my skin and have been very happy with the way my skin looks and feels. I used to have irritated skin with patches of dryness. Gentle Solution is less irritating than the Night Worker so on those rare occasions when I have irritated areas or lesions on my skin I will use this every night and skip the Night Worker. The Arcona program emphasizes exfoliation/renewal of the outer skin cells as opposed to the use of heavy moisturizers. I have been delighted with the entire line and have used it exclusively for about 5 years.

Noticeable results within 1 week of use

I've used Guerlain, La Mer, Shiseido Future Solution, Obagi for skin care in past years and have switched to this one recently. Have been using only arcona for 6 months. It seems more people complement my complexion lately.

Best product I have ever used!

Pros: Lightweight, Moisturizes, Non-Greasy, Softens Skin, Soothes Skin

Describe Yourself: Beauty Expert

Best Uses: Enlarged Pores, Fine Lines/Wrinkles, Sensitive Skin

Age: 45-54

Skin Type: Normal

Bottom Line: recommended

The product goes on smoothly, and feels like you are treating your skin to a great facial. The magic is in the morning, when you wake up to the most glowing complexion that you ever had. I now have the skin of a 35 year old, and I'm over 50. Better than Chanel, Philosophy, Arbonne, all products that I have used religiously. If there's one product you have to buy, it's this one. Another great from Arcona.

disappointing

by eco-fan [Verified Reviewer]

in NY on 4/1/09

Cons: Irritates Skin, Not Effective

Describe Yourself: Beauty Expert

Age: 16-24

Skin Type: Combination

Bottom Line: not recommended

I am so disappointed about this product, especially as all the other reviews are so great. Maybe my skin is just too sensitive, even for the ´gentle´ variant, as every time I use it my skin starts to flake, feel inflamed and it breaks out in small red bumps, which aren´t spots like acne, but itch horribly. The only thing I can do to restore my skin is soak it in olive oil every morning and evening, then after a week my skin turns back to normal. This has happened every time I use it, unless I use the tiniest amount in combination with a face cream, but then nothing really happens. Well, think twice if you have a sensitive skin before you use it, all-natural products can be aggresive as well (think nettle, you don't want that on your face either and come to think of it, this is exactly how it felt...)

Definitely overrated

Cons: Irritates Skin, Not Effective

Describe Yourself: Beauty Conscious

Age: 35-44

Skin Type: Dry

Bottom Line: not recommended

Definitely overrated. I have supersensitive skin and I was excited about the reviews. First off, the explanation of how to use the products is not there. I had to call the head office to understand what order the moisturizer and the serum and the am/pm creams had to be used. They weren't very friendly. Second, the bottles are awkard. Because its mostly fluid and not creamish when you pump you get the product all over your hand and it goes to waste. Also yes, the skin absorbs it faster but it leaves a dry feeling that won't go away with the amount you use. It caused major irritation and break-out on my face. For the price I paid, this is absolutely horrible. I switched to Boscia instead which already made a difference in a few days. I'm going to copy paste this for all the Arcona products that I've used. Don't waste your money

Like the Feel

by Mslaner [Verified Buyer]

Pros: Lightweight, Moisturizes, Non-Greasy, Smells Great, Softens Skin, Soothes Skin

Describe Yourself: Beauty Conscious

Best Uses: Daily Use, Fine Lines/Wrinkles, Uneven Skin Tone

Age: 55+

Skin Type: Normal

Bottom Line: recommended

I just started to use this product. I will continue each evening, using also the eye serum. I can't tell yet if I see improvement, but the texture is in between a lotion and a serum. I haven't followed with any other night cream, so I will see how I feel at the end of 30 days. Since I am 75, I can't tell yet how much the red areas will improve.

Love it!

Renews Skin!

by Mandy

in New Jersey on 3/9/09

Pros: Lightweight, Moisturizes, Smells Great, Softens Skin, Soothes Skin

Describe Yourself: Beauty Conscious

Best Uses: Enlarged Pores, Fine Lines/Wrinkles, Redness/ Blotchiness, Sensitive Skin, Uneven Skin Tone

Age: 16-24

Skin Type: Combination

Bottom Line: recommended

This product renews my skin while I sleep, and leaves it soft and glowing when I wake up. Using the Arcona products for sensitive skin, I have seen a dramatically noticeable decrease in the redness and dryness of my skin. My sensitive combination skin used to be inflamed and incredibly oily in some areas and dry and flaky in other areas such as my forehead, chin, and the sides of my nose. After using this line for several months, I have noticed that it has helped balance my skin tone to leave it soft, beautiful, and hydrated.

Iwill buy this product again and again

by Natasha [Verified Buyer]

in Tampa, Fl on 3/4/09

Pros: Lightweight, Moisturizes, Non-Greasy, Smells Great, Softens Skin, Soothes Skin, Take years off your face, Wrinkles disappear

Cons: Pump does not work well

Describe Yourself: Beauty Conscious

Best Uses: Daily Use, Fine Lines/Wrinkles, Sensitive Skin

Age: 55+

Skin Type: Dry

Bottom Line: recommended

I love the product, However, the pump is not always effective. Sometimes I have to turn the bottle up side down before I can get anything out of the bottle and then a great big splash, really more than I need at one time whichcreates waste as far as I am concerned. I wish they would do something about their pumps as I find the problem is the same with all their products, especially the thicker ones like thick and firm. Inspite of the aggravation, I still love what comes out of the bottle.

Makes skin bright and does not irritate!

by skincare junkie [Verified Buyer]

in Washington DC on 2/3/09

Pros: Lightweight, Softens Skin

Describe Yourself: Beauty Conscious

Best Uses: Sensitive Skin

Age: 25-34

Skin Type: Dry

Bottom Line: recommended

I just started using this and I like it so far. I have sensitive skin and it does not irritate at all. After using this product (which I do about 2 - 3 times a week) my skin feels very soft. Not sure if it is doing much for pore size but it does make my skin look bright and sort of polished, like I just had a facial. It provides some hydration, which is good since my skin has been so dry recently. I would definitely recommend it.
