Okay, so these two products have just entered my arsenal of daily products. I've only used it one time, so I can't report anything-but in case you are wondering. They are now in use and I will report back as I see fit. I am hoping it helps with the dry scalp spots that I do have...and we'll see what it does for my hair.

In the meantime, here are some customer testimonials. If you have used or had people use this product-please share in the comments!!

Intelligence Daily Self-Adjusting
Shampoo, Intelligence Daily, Self-Adjusting Conditioner, Intelligence Daily,
Self-Adjusting Shampoo with Tea Tree Oil, Unwind Massage OilI've been a big fan
of the Intelligence Daily Self-Adjusting hair products, which have done wonders
for my itchy, scaly scalp and overall health. Even with the conditioner, it was
better, but still frizzy and dry depending on the weather. Anyway, I tried the
Unwind Massage Oil - just a little blended into my towel-dried hair. And voila!
Would you believe it, it's great! I told a couple of my consultants about it,
and they agree it looks awesome. Better still, it's even easier for me to style
it. I just finger it, fluff it up, and it's good to go - wavy, shiney and
manageable. The stuff my hairdresser used to sell me was so expensive and not
nearly as good. I'm lovin' it and wanted to share it with you.


Grace Overcash, Glendale, AZ
Intelligence Daily, Self-Adjusting
Shampoo with Tea Tree OilI had faithfully been using the Arbonne Intelligence
Daily, Self-Adjusting Shampoo with Tea Tree Oil since it was launched two years
ago, and have had many compliments on how healthy my hair looks. However, the
salon that I go to can only use and sell their own products. At a weak moment,
my stylist convinced me to try some shampoo specially formulated for color
treated hair. Shortly after I discontinued the Arbonne shampoo and used the
specially-formulated shampoo, my face started to break out with blemishes like
never before. Even at 51-years old, I have had some minor breakouts from time to
time, but recently my complexion had gotten so bad that I was ready to get a
prescription of antibiotics. Then, something that my niece (who is now an MD)
said when she was interning with a cosmetic dermatologist was that a lot of skin
breakouts, blemishes and irritations are from hair products. So, I immediately
stopped using the other shampoo and went back to using the Arbonne Intelligence
Daily, Self-Adjusting Shampoo with Tea Tree Oil, and what a difference! My face
started to clear up right away! It never ceases to amaze me how pure, safe,
beneficial and effective Arbonne products really are!

Shampoo, Intelligence Daily, Self-Adjusting Conditioner, Intelligence Daily,
Self-Adjusting Shampoo with Tea Tree Oil, Intelligence Thermal Fusion Hair &
Scalp RevitalizerHi, this is Jennifer Godfrey and I am in Harlingen, Texas. I
love the Arbonne Hair Care — it is fabulous! I have been using not only the
regular shampoo, but I also use the Daily Self-Adjusting Anti-Flake Shampoo, as
well as the Daily Self-Adjusting Conditioner and the Thermal Fusion Hair &
Scalp Revitalizer. It is awesome! Even on the days that I just use the shampoo
and I don't have time to condition, my hair — for once in my life — looks
beautiful, healthy, happy — it's awesome! I just got some pictures back from
when I vacationed with my family in Arkansas. I did not take any hair products,
just my Arbonne shampoos and conditioners. I didn't have my hair spray and all
that fun stuff that makes your hair look presentable because I was just going to
be around my family. I got some pictures back, and even though I was wearing a
hat, and I was out on the boat an in the water … and in the wind, my hair still
looked shiny and healthy, and cute. And I've never had that happen before. So,
Arbonne, you did it again. It's awesome! Thanks!

Intelligence Daily Self-Adjusting Shampoo, Intelligence Daily,
Self-Adjusting ConditionerI'm not 16 anymore, but I'm getting compliments on my
hair! People want to touch my hair — it is really strange! This new Intelligence
Daily Self-Adjusting Shampoo and Conditioner is absolutely phenomenal. I have
used stuff from the real snazziest salons around and I am just so tickled that
people I hadn't seen for a while are looking at my hair and noticing. I don't
mention it — they do — and they want to touch my hair! The people at my salon
who are fashion models — I'm not one — come and want to touch my hair. They like
the feel of my hair, the look of my hair and the shine in my hair. Thank you
Arbonne — whatever you've done with the shampoo and conditioner is absolutely
incredible!

Renewing Body Gelee

Let me tell you a little about my mother. Suk Hubbard-the greatest woman I know on this side of heaven!


She is about 5'4".
She is Korean.
She is one TOUGH COOKIE.
She is an amazing woman, a mother that still shows me how great I want to be...and most relevant to you...

She is CHEAP! She is NOT an easy sell. She is one of those people that will always buy what she always has just because!!


Let me tell you the thing about my mother that I hate the most...
My mom suffers from Fibromyalgia with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Neither of these are easy diseases to survive, and pair them together and they can be very crippling and debilitating diseases separate AND together. My mother sees a specialist at University Hospital in Denver, but she chooses to battle these diseases with her own "medical opinions". She will NOT take pain killers, as they usually balance pain-killers with anti-depressants. It is a NO for Suk Hubbard. Cortisone shots have worked...so THAT is why she refuses to continue to get them. She does not believe in other methods to heal the body. When she is in pain-you think she sits down...NO. She gets out and exercises. She believes that strengthening her body will help her fight the disease. Now please, PLEASE understand that I do not recommend this for ANYBODY. Pain is a way that our bodies know we need to rest. She should be resting. She should be taking the meds they give her. She should be listening to all medical advice and stop trying to self medicate herself with her own opinions.

And...YOU can tell her that. Listen, I've tried. This woman is a trooper. She's more active than most people MY age and she never complains, she never slows down, and overall I'm just happy that she has learned to listen to her body SOME and take it easy when she needs to. The other reason I don't harp at her is because...she's my mother and I'm STILL scared of her. I stay in my lane and I let her drive in hers!! :-)


So-the other night I go to my parents house and there is my beautiful mother propped up in her bed with her remote AND...the RENEWING BODY GELEE!!

OH yes! Score ONE for the home team! She uses it on her joints and other places when she is in pain and she is now carrying it around with her. She said it works for short periods of time for HER, but listen...she has a disease that leaves people in CHRONIC PAIN! ANything that works...WORKS!! The reason she WILL use this is because it is ALL NATURAL. You guys might not think this is a big victory...I am jumping around like .

I am going to buy this to keep in my house...I live with a very clumsy 8 year old and an even more clumsy 30 year old (Yes, ME!) I am also ordering THIS and the joint formula for Mr. Anthony Saunders because I MUST maintain those fingers and I think this will help some stiffness he suffers from due to surgeries on his elbow. (WE'll talk more about Mr. Saunders later...)


I know there are a couple consultants that have their own testimonials, so ladies-please share in the comment section!!

I drink this every day, and it keeps me more "regular".

The first time I tried it, I got a bad headache...but I wasn't eating anything or drinking enough water. There is no caffeine, and it tastes just like regular tea. I love it.

I'm posting this one here and will add comments as I gain more experience.


Here are some testimonials:

Cheri Nutting, Marlborough, NH
Figure 8™
Daily Detox Tea, Figure 8™ LineI have continued to use Figure 8® since January
of 2004 and have now lost 26 pounds and wear size 8 clothing, a size I haven't
been since my early teens. The best part is that I have not felt like I was
"dieting" and this is such an easy plan to stick to with long-term benefits. I
have never felt healthier! I love the addition of the Daily Detox Tea; its
delicious taste makes this a satisfying treat when I'm craving a drink other
than water, but still want something healthy. Autoship makes Figure 8® so
affordable and a plan that you can stick with because it is always available
here in our home without the hassle of running to the store when we run out.
Plus I love getting a free gift each month with Autoship! Thank you Arbonne for
giving us the best products that keep us looking good and feeling great!


Gloria Maxwell, Kansas City, Mo.
Figure 8™ Daily Detox TeaI have to tell you, I love the Figure 8™ Daily
Detox Tea! There is something about the taste — it is so much better than most
herbal teas. What a great way to detox. I am a tea lover and this one leaves a
very satisfying taste and makes you want to drink another cup.


Karen Dicenzo, Andover, MA
Figure 8™
Daily Detox TeaThank you so much for this fabulous new Daily Detox Tea. I can't
tell you how much I look forward to drinking it each and every morning. It
tastes incredible. I am thrilled that it's caffeine free, because I happen to be
allergic to caffeine; and I am fully aware of the long term benefits of having
this as part of my daily diet. The taste is phenomenal. I've eliminated any
other tea in my house and this is the only tea in my house. Thank you so much
for putting out another fabulous new product.

NutriminC RE9 Anti-aging set

You might not think you need to worry about aging-but you should start sooner than later. When the wrinkles come-it's too late!!

Now, I do not have this whole set, I have the Hydrating Wash, Restoring Mist Balancing Toner, and the REality SPF8 Day creme.

Now, on my wishlist...to get the rest of the set! I do not have bad skin-but I have seen a MAJOR improvement. No more dry spots that would show up now and then, and my skin just feels smoother. ALSO, when it was that "special time"...I haven't broke out in two months. So I am very happy about that!



I have heard great things about the Eye creme being used for the dark circles, but also ANY Dark spots on the skin. I have purchased this for my mom...she wants to use it on some of the moles on her face. I will report back!

Here are some customer testimonials:

I’ve had dry skin on my legs … so dry, it looked like cracked snake skin. I used the NutriMinC® RE9® Body Serum and the Body Lotion early one morning, then at night when I came home. I was absolutely amazed at how smooth and silky my legs felt. My skin has never been like this before.

Diane Jones, Killeen, TX

NutriMinC® RE9 REnewing GelÈe CrËme, Hydrating Wash
My name is Diane Jones. I’m an Arbonne Consultant and I wanted to share something very interesting with you. On this past Halloween in order to get my son’s makeup off of his face - the Halloween makeup; I guess they call it grease paint or something - I used the Nutrimin Hydrating Wash. My little boy is six years old and he was a little bit concerned about using mommy’s face wash on his face. But I assured him it would be ok and I washed his face. He had his eyes closed and of course some of the suds got on his eyes and he got a little bit nervous when that happened. I told him just to keep his eyes closed, it would be fine, and then I wiped his face with a warm washcloth. The makeup came off great; I was amazed that all that greasy makeup came off without a problem. The amazing part for me was when I wiped his face clean, he opened his eyes and he was almost excited he said “mommy” he said, “soap got in my face, in my eyes”, he said “and it didn’t even burn me”. When he said that, I thought "this is the true testament of how gentle the Arbonne Hydrating Wash and also the other products are" - for a Cleansing Gel Cleansing Cream to get in your eyes and not burn your eyes. That’s pretty amazing. I just wanted to share that, so thank you very much! Keep up the good work. Bye.

NutriMinC® REpair, Corrective Eye CrËme
Hi, this is Pam Thompson Area Manager in White Lake, Michigan. I want to give a testimony about the NutriMinC® RE9® REpair Corrective Eye Crème. I really want everyone not to forget the men in our lives. I pull the NutriMinC® RE9® a gentleman, and when the other people in the room see the results and they're blown away. I am telling you, men do not want to age just as much as us women don’t! So don’t forget our men because they love this product and all you have to do is show an example in front of other guys and they'll buy this product. Thank you, Arbonne! It’s a great product.

Intelligence Skin Conditioning oil

I can not say ENOUGH good things about this product. I can LITERALLY see the difference in the eczema on my body. Here is the official product description:

Smooth things over and deeply condition dry skin with this international blend of pure oils. It relieves irritated, dry and chapped skin, especially on areas that are hard to hydrate.


Pecan oil, avocado oil, hazel seed oil and other botanical oils

Skin types
All

I have been fighting a dry patch on the back of my neck for at LEAST five years. In about ten days, the skin is healing and time will tell, but I believe in the healing process, the original color of my skin is returning and it will not longer be such a dark and ugly spot! I have sold 11 bottles of this and most of the feedback has been positive so far. My sister is using this on her scalp and on the back of her knee for a severe patch of eczema and she has noted that it is not healed YET, but she does not use the oil-she can tell the difference. I believe the key is consistency at first. THIS PRODUCT IS A HUGE SELLER WITH PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH ECZEMA! And guaranteed, us parents share ailments AND treatments with each other, so if you sell it and have success with one-guarantee you will sell it to at least two other people! And as always, these products have a 45 day money back guarantee!!


Here are some testimonials from the website:

Anthony Cordero, California
Intelligence
Skin Conditioning OilI have been suffering from eczema for the past 19 years.
Any sort of treatment or cream I have been offered by doctors, pharmacists, or
dermatologists, has not worked. I have tried steroid creams, lotions, other
different oils and none of them work. Then, a friend recommended Arbonne’s
Intelligence Skin Conditioning Oil. At first, I was very skeptical, but from the
very first day, it worked. My skin started healing right away, instead of having
the dry, cracked and rash-covered skin. My skin actually healed and became
smooth. Since I have been using the Skin Conditioning Oil, I have not had a
problem since. Using the oil makes any sort of visible sign completely
disappear. I just want to say thanks!


Cindy Avitor (sp)., Concord, North
Carolina.
Intelligence Rejuvenating Cream, Intelligence Skin Conditioning
OilMy daughter, before she was able to walk, would crawl on her knees. She did
this for several months so the skin on her knees was very chapped and tough. I
used to try to pick it off because it was so rough, but she wouldn’t let me do
it because apparently it hurt. When she would go to sleep, I would try to clip
it with nail clippers. I ordered the Intelligence Skin Conditioning Oil and
Rejuvenating Cream. I applied that to her knees. After only three days of
applying those two products, her knees cleared up so much that you never even
knew there was anything wrong with them. Thank you so much Arbonne for the
wonderful job you do every day .


Wilson Meadows, Vicksburg, Miss.
Arbonne Skin Care, Intelligence Skin Conditioning OilSherri Pratt, an
Arbonne’s Consultants here, introduced me to the Intelligence Skin Conditioning
Oil and Rejuvenating Cream. I am a team roper and out in the sun a lot, and
often get scratched up on the weekends when participating in various events
across the Southern U.S. Sherry gave me some of the combination creams to try
and my skin looks and feels like a baby's skin. Thanks to Arbonne for all the
research and hard work they have put into their products. I know mainly women
use these products and I know you are all gorgeous, but the products work well
on rusty old cowboys, too! Thanks, Moose.

If you have used this product, please add comments here for whether you like or do not like this product, where it was used and how it worked. This will help me to better address your skin care needs as well as other consultants that utilize this blog.

Thanks!!
