I hope this forum lives up to its name, because I need some professional help! I'm at my wits end trying to select anti-aging products to use and need some guidance. What is actually effective at getting rid of crows feet, bags, and wrinkles!?

Hi Kristopher!
There are many products out on the market that make claims to prevent wrinkles and I'm sure there are some good ones so the information I am going to give you is based on my personal opinion. What products work for some people may not always work for others so sometimes we have to find the products that work best for us based on trial and error.

In my 40+ years I have used many products to include Oil of Olay, Drugstore brands, Clinique, Mary Kay and Avon just to name a few. A year ago I was introduced to some new products called the NutriMinC RE9 Anti-aging line by Arbonne. I tried the products as a favor to a friend of mind and had no desire to want to change my skin care regimen. At the time I was using Oil of Olay and Clinique and thought I had a great system working for me. Being a registered nurse I knew that taking care of your skin was important and at the time I thought just faithfully following a routine twice a day was all that was needed.

Well I was wrong and after trying the products I was hooked. I liked the fact that the products were botanically based without mineral oil. I didn't realize what a barrier mineral oil was to the skin until I started using products without it. I also liked the fact that these products were made with no animal products, by products and they were not tested on animals. They also have no chemical dyes or fragrances which are known skin irritants.

Can I sit here and tell you that I don't have a wrinkle on my face? No, I can't but I can tell you that my skin looks healthy, and I have had a dramatic reduction in the fine lines and wrinkles that I once had. I get more compliments on my skin now than I ever have and I'm comfortable enough now with my complextion that I can even go out in public without wearing make-up. Three years ago I wouldn't have done that. I have found in my experience that the only way to completely take away wrinkles would be through surgery.

Arbonne created the original REvolution in anti-aging, with NutriMinC RE9. This product line was the first of its kind to address the ?after? effects of sun exposure and aging with a REsult-oriented system of products for face and body. Formulated with 9 key, anti-aging elements, these products have changed the face of anti-aging skin care! There products all come with a 45 day money back guarantee.
