I have several adult clients who use the C/A. What do you suggest as a moisturizer for them? Do they need a moisturizer? I'm thinking the acne lotion isn't a sufficient moisturizer & I don't think it has any SPF. What about teens?

he folks that have ordered the Clear Advantage from me are thrilled with how moisturized they feel. One gal said her skin had never felt so great and she is using the C/A set alone.

I know, I hear the same things! I just think we need spf. Most foundation has it, but for men....

How good is the Advantage products for acne. Do those using see positive results. My son is using Proactive and I am wondering how it compares. Thanks.

Everyone who I have had who tries it loves it! Their face is clearing up and they are moisturized to boot!! I have received calls from very satisfied people referring people to me who have seen their face & the results they have achieved. I love that in addition to taking care of the acne, people are so happy with the fact that their face is becoming moisturized & retaining it.

It is awesome! I had a client run out recently, he bought two sets because he said he never wants to run out again!
I have heard from several clients that have used pro active & switched to c/a that the pro active is very drying!

Proactive has benzoly proxidie (I know I spelled that wrong) which makes it drying. I have had many teens switch from proactive to the C/A. I think it works great.. and you dont' have anything to lose from trying it because of the 45 day guarentee.

I personally am using the men's RE9 moiturizer because the RE9 day cream was too oily. THis could be a moisturizer for someone on the CA as it is not too heavy or oily and does have the spf. HTHsmileys/smiley2.gif

Thanks Lori!!
So, the men's is working for you? I might recommend to my sister b/cuz the re9 day was too much & she didnt really like the n/o day cream.

I aqbsolutely love the mens moisturizer and now have several others using it also. It is so light. I know some who use several of the mens products because they still get the RE9 benefits and all the mens line is lighter, not oily. HTH

As soon as I get the Advantage kit I'll give it to my son to use. BTW, I have been using the RE men's set and it's great. Yes, I am a guy. I let a woman at my health club try the RE ladies set and the only criticism she had was the day cream seemed a bit oily. Other than that she loves the product. Maybe I'll have her try the men's moisturizer.

A potential client just told me her daughter was on Proactiv but I'm sure she mentioned it has salycylic acid (as does Arbonne). Are there different versions????
Also, albaat, are you a fellow consultant? If so, I'd love to hear your perspective on how to recruit other men to Arbonne (and of course, anyone else on the board - please chime in!). I've just started conversing with a man about joining Arbonne but as a woman, I'm afraid I may be missing a point that may be appealing to him. I've focused primarily on the business side and how easy it is to work the business. Any other thoughts for how to pitch our business to men??

Yes, I am a consultant.Iwill tell you I am fairlynewto the business, but I will share with you my thoughts and experiences thus far.
As a man presenting Arbonne to another man I focus on the business opportunity.I tell them to look at the business model which Arbonne has in place and thesmall investment neededto enter a market which continues to grow each year. And more importantly, the potential to make money.
I stress the superior quality of the products and the positivefeedback recieved from those whohavetried them. It would be mysuggestion tolet your potential male client try at least the shaving cream. Most guy's shave and short of asking him to use an exfoliant or toner, he will at least say yes to trying the shaving cream. At that point, if you have the rest of those products mentioned, include them. Chances are he will try them too.
On a personal note, in addition to doing my research on the company and it's products, I had a chance to use the men's RE products. For me that was a big factor. The shaving cream gave me theBEST shave I can ever remember. The guy's who I havelet try it have said the same thing. Bottom line: If the guy shaves...let em take it for a test ride.
Sorry for running on, but those are my thoughts. Now if I can just figure how to sell to women.....just kidding. I have some strategies but may need to bounce them off you guy's, I mean ladies, from time to time.
Have a prosperous day!!!

saint854,
If you want another man's perspective there is a recorded call you can try. 212-990-7352. This is Danny Smith in Tulsa, OK (father of ENVP Stacy Thorn and RVP Alissa Bradley) and Tracy Ellis in Jenks, OK (pastor of a local church, I believe). They have recorded this call on "How to Go Fast".
They are also hosting a biz op meeting every-other Wednesday morning in Tulsa and have had other men guest speaking, telling their Arbonne stories. I've heard that they are having great turnout at the meetings and most of the people that come are men. My sponsor went to their meeting today and said it was really great. I haven't got a chance to go myself yet but plan to go in 2 weeks. Getting a man's perspective can only help!

CLShip,
Just wanted to tell you I had my husband (and newest biz builder) listen to the call you suggested and he LOVED it! I listened as well, and it is great for anyone, but particularly men, becasue there are not tons of resources by men. He's determined to do 5 drop offs by next week.
Thanks for the info!

I'm so glad the men's phone call was helpful to so many. I think I am going to post a new topic just on this phone call because not many readers will find it here under this particular discussion.
