Is this harmful when put into facial moisturizers?


Thanks.


(please pm me if you know.) :) Edited by: CarrieRevel

None of our products have that.. Not sure. If someone knows the answer also post it for everyone. Thanks,


Kim

Don't the RE9 products and the bio hydria have these?

Yes we have AHA's. Lactic Acid is a AHA. It is not bad for the skin, it helps remove the dead skin cells. The only concern I have when using a AHA is to wear sunscreen.

I did a search for it at Arbonnes Product Knowledge and nothing came up. I looked throught the ingredients for the bio hydria and Re9 and didn't see it.


Kim

Lactic Acid is found in the following products:
- Bio-Hydria® Alpha Complex Moisture for Day, SPF 8
- Clear Advantage Refining Toner
- NutriMinC® RE9 Reactivating Facial Serum, Day & Night
- NutriMinC® RE9 Reactivating, Body Serum
- NutriMinC® RE9 Repair, Corrective Eye Creme
- NutriMinC® RE9 Reversing Gelee, Transforming Lift

I cute and pasted from this page: http://www.arbonne.com/internet_consultant/ic/pk.asp?ingredi (http://www.arbonne.com/internet_consultant/ic/pk.asp?ingredient=Lactic%20Acid#ingredients) ent=Lactic%20Acid#ingredients

Are Alpha Hydroxy Acid and Lactic Acid different. I didn't think they are the same.. I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.Edited by: dkdummermuth

PS I posted at the same time as you earlier.. I was saying I didn't find AHA. Thanks,

Thanks, now...is there an all natural daily moisturizer? Not corrective. Now that i feel like i haveirritated my skin badly.I tell you what, i used an alpha hyd. 'acid' in a face cream..not Arbonne. A different brand. I am so disapointed.It has made my eyes look BAD. I have three times the fine lines i had...and i only used it for a week. At first....it felt great..now---horrible. I acutally had better luck with the ole' Ponds Face Cream. Main ing. was mineral oil too. What is up with that?

This was on the website under the RE9 on the 9 ingredients in it:


8. Alpha & Beta Hydroxy Acids: Activate healthy cells while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

I guess i have very sensitive skin(under my eyes). I am going to have to find a cream with out that acid. That was the first time i had ever used anything at all "corrective". It was hard to find a regular face cream moisturizer at the store; with ingredients that i could understand. I had always used the Ponds. smileys/smiley5.gifEdited by: CarrieRevel

AHA ingredients may be listed as:
<LI>glycolic acid
<LI>lactic acid
<LI>malic acid
<LI>citric acid</LI>


These are the most common AHA's.


Carrie - I tried to PM you, but it says you have gone over your maximum limit. If you want, I can send you a sample of our RE9. There are different ranges of AHA's, it is supposed to stay under pH 4, our skin in normally pH 5.

I found this on the Arbonne website as well as in the catalogue. The RE9 line definately has AHA's in it.(See #8).I think the Basics Line might be best if you don't do well with AHA's

Ok-now back to the normal me.....smileys/smiley1.gif


....is there a daily cream that is specfically for sensitve skin?


Edited by: CarrieRevel

Hi Carrie~


Sorry that it took me a while to respond...I was traveling today.Check you email! Talk to you soon!

I would have you try maybe the Normal to Dry line first.. I loved this line for 14 yrs before the NutriMinC came out.. Just a thought.. I was going to say send you a sample but if you have talked to someone else that is fine too. Good luck and I hope you find soemthing that works..


Kim

Carrie, did you have any headache's?

Not really. A slight headache, but i am sure it was just and is just hormones. ? Does that stuff sometimes cause headaches?

If you are allergic it can, but that is with anything. I get headaches after eating chocolate.

That is so funny..chocolate..the good kind...Dark...acutally helps my headaches. You know dark chocolate is supposed to be real good for you. I heard on Oprah that milk chocolate is not really chocolate. It is primarily cream and sugar. Maybe you should try the dark and sweet.

I saw the same show! They said to buy coco, the real chocolate.


I love milk chocolate but I always get a headache. I will learn one of these days.smileys/smiley1.gif

Thanks Arbonne gals for all your helpand to Cindi for the samples. I tried the normal to dry moisturizerand it is simply wonderful. I have never felt anything like it.My face feels so soft and smooth and it lasts all day even with my make up. It does not burn my sensitiveskin at all and evens the tone so beautifully.


What a great product! http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gifKudos to you who sell Arbonne!
