I have a cliet that has been using the CA for over 2 weeks and hasn't seen any change in her skin.



I had told her to use it for a few weeks and I think she's getting
discouraged that her acne isn't clearing up. She had used ProActiv
before and it didn't work for her.



Should she keep using it and/or is there any other products to recommend to her to try, either in addition to CA or not?



Thanks!

Personally I think 2 wks is too soon to give up! I would think she should give it at least 4-6 wks- there is a learn and burn on company site about the ca system- maybe listen to it and get some good reasoning behind staying on it--


also have heard that it is a MUST to take the supplements! The TFM is also great for acne!


I switched my son to CA over a system we were getting at dermatologist- and I know the first 3 wks he actually broke out some more! but now is really clearing up and he doesnt have the dry flaky skin that he had with the other system---now he has never had really bad acne- has maybe 4-5 spots at a time but does have blackheads to deal with - but to a 14 yr old boy that is major! I am also putting the sco and esm on new spots at night and that is working wonders making them little suckers go byebye!Edited by: leahjstan

Sometimes it takes 4-6 weeks of CA use to see results. Is she using the supplement?

Thanks. I'll listen and burn it for her. Yes, she's using the
supplements. She's young and is getting discouraged with her acne not
clearing up. I've told her she needs to give it more time, hopefully
she's not ready to give up and will stay on it!

I used the CA system for about 3 months and wasnt seeing much of a
change. My skin felt great and was very moisturized but I was still
having breakouts. I dont know what did it, but here is what I did.



I have dry skin (partially due to tanning) So I began using the CA wash
only in the morning and then the Normal/Dry system at night. (Cleansing
Creme, Toner, Night Creme) Also, I began using the Prolief cream.



My skin is almost completely clear after only 3 weeks! My AM began
using the Phyto Prolief and her skin has completely cleared up as well
so I believe it is most likely the hormone cream. You might reccommend
that to your client, it worked for us! It has become my greatest
product testimony.

Hi ladies, I'm not in Arbonne, but I used to be a part timer/wholesale buyer. I thought I'd drop by to see if how it was going over here and then I saw this post. I have trouble with acne and thought I could help by putting my 2 Cents in. :)


With supplements, you've got to give it time. Up to 8 weeks I'd say. Another great product to add to that is the colon cleanse. Do you still carry that?? The key to these supplements working and for you skin to clear up (at least for me) was drinking LOTS of water. I have to drink at least 50-70 ounces a day for the toxins to flush out of my skin/body and my face stay clear. Hope this helps!

Great products ladies! Wishing you TONS

Hi nbrendal!


Sounds like you and I have very similar skin conditions. I have been using the CA for breakouts but have dry skin as well so I am considering incorporating the basics line into my skin care routine.Do you find the Cleansing Creme effectivefor removing makeup?


Thanx!

I had a client who had this problem. He could not deal with the fact he was breaking out even more. I explained everything, he is a Medical Student, so he understood the reasoning but he became so embarrassed. He did go back to ProActiv, but is using the TFEM also.
