I've tried ALL of the Arbonne RE9 products and even though they are a bit pricy they are VERY effective. . . .it's worth the price. This is the best cleanser I've ever tried . . .cleanses but is not harsh . . .do yourself a favor and purchase this.. . .

My sister in law and I both love this cleanser! Besides the serum, this is my favorite part of the system. I have simply not found a better cleanser! It smells yummy, it feels yummy, and a little, goes a heck of a long way! I love it so much!
Only down part, it's so friggin' expensive! But I believe once I'm finished with my Earth Science creamy cleanser (which I'm not a fan of) I'm going to pay the membership fee again, and re-order!

I have older skin which is extremely sensitive and can't tolerate anything too harsh with lots of chemicals. Arbonne Smoothing Facial Cleanser is a bit too pricey for my budget but this stuff is amazing plus a little goes a LONG way!! You only need to moisten your face first with some warm water, apply a small dab into your palm and work up a gentle lather. It smells heavenly-a faint scent of oranges. My skin tingles and glows after I wash it and dry it. It also feels very soft. I don't understand why all the bad reviews. I am very picky about what I apply to my aging skin and this product really does it for me. I will never use any other. If you are concerned about the price, just get a pack of 20 samples for about 10 bucks on Ebay. I hope that they never discontinue it.

I can use some of the RE9 products, but the entire line used together, is too strong for my sensitive skin. This cleanser in particular really didn't agree with my skin. Too strong, left it dried right out and caused a rash. Otherwise it removes make-up easily and smells great!

This cleanser is my absolute HG! I have very sensitive, combination skin (dry but breakout prone) & this cleanser is AMAZING- it's ultra hydrating, smells divine, & leaves my skin feeling clean, silky, & nourished. The best part is that there is no stinging, burning, stripping, or irritation of any kind & no breakouts whatsoever. This is GOLD for me & the first cleanser I've found that I'm happy with. I also love the RE9 advanced serum, eye cream & night cream too! So happy I found this stuff. Samples can be found on ebay for a good price! continued >>

This face wash stung my face, & my skin is used to some fairly harsh treatment so I'm not sure what the issue is there. It has a nice orange/citrus scent & is quite good at removing make-up.
Because it's not pH balanced (this is what they want you to use the toner for...to restore balance after washing) & seemed harsh on my skin, I would not repurchase. continued >>

Ok, Arbonne is basically run as a kind of pyramid scheme. A relative of mine got guilted into buying some, by a client of hers (totally unrelated business), and bought me this cleanser. (Relative has since reformed).
It's an annoyingly good product. It's hydrating, doesn't cause acne, washes clean, takes all the right things off, smells ok.
Too bad the company relies on its salespeople exploiting their friends and acquaintances. I'd probably buy this if it were stocked in a regular shop.
