Megan CurtinMy family will probably shun me for even writing this article. My sister-in-law actually had sold Arbonne products before I was even married into the family. If she could read this, she would probably block me on all socials, and my name would be removed from the secret Santa family exchange list. So fingers crossed she misses today’s blog post (inset eeesshhh smiley emoji).
All kidding aside, I do love her, and I do actually love Arbonne products. However, I don’t love the price. Shit, I don’t even remotely like the price. I don’t have kids, but I imagine the price of my newborn would match up to the price of the Arbonne products I am buying. Also, ingredients in Arbonne are hard to come by, especially when browsing the internet.Â

 While you have to research pretty deep to find the ingredients, it can be done if you know EXACTLY what to lick. Arbonne products can be looked up after some research. You can google Arbonne ingredients and go through a specific link to look up their ingredients. If you don’t go through that link, the box/tab won’t appear on their main website.
Once you go to the link, they don’t list the ingredients by product; they list them in alphabetical order. If you know what you’re looking for, this is great, but it may be tricky for you if you’re new to the products and aren’t sure what’s what.Â
As you can see in the picture on the top right, the black ingredient tab is hidden until you go onto google and type out Arbonne’s ingredient list. This will take you back to Arbonne’s original website, and you will now see the black ingredient tab. You click and notice they give you an overall ingredient list but now ingredients per product.
However, I will say Arbonne products are vegan, smell great, and do work great; I have a skincare routine on a budget, so I need some alternative products. I rather spend my money on clothes than my skincare routine. If you want to learn more about the Arbonne company, you might be interested in this article here!Â
Dermalogica
Top Pick – Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Firm
Pictures don’t lie; this product is a game-changer. While it is a tad more expensive, it is still cheaper than multiple Arbonne products I have used to give me results of this one Dermalogica product.
Because this product is so concentrated it lasts me for a few years. I use a small drop around my eyes, mouth area, and wrinkle lines between my eyes. If I have a big event coming up, I will rub this on my forehead to really look flawless.
The best thing about this is you can order it online here, and you don’t have to throw a party or attend one to get the benefits of an amazing vegan product—no hassles of ordering through a consultant.
Stay vigilant with your application process, morning and night, or you won’t achieve results like this!
My favorite Dermalogica products
- Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Balance – great for the winter season! This moisturizer for winter contains Vitamin C which helps fight the appearance of sagging, aging skin. A little bit thicker but doesn’t feel sticky.
- Dermalogica Overnight Repair Serum – contains argon and rose oil to stimulate skin overnight! I mix this was my moisturizer but you can use it by itself as well.
- Dermalogica Total Eye Care– eye game changer! My eyes are my problem areas and this Arbonne alternative product helps with my bags and dark circles! Fragrance-free so it won’t make your eyes water.
As a licensed cosmetologist, I have worked in many top-notch salons that use Dermalogica. I myself used the Dermalogica skincare line on all of my clients. Dermalogica professional was invented in 1999 by a duh, Dermatologist. They offer professional-strength formulas (otherwise only available at a dermatologist’s office), hard-to-find spa care, and natural beauty brands.
What are Dermalogica reviews like?
Reviews for Dermalogica are among the top-rated out there. Each product in the Dermalogica line is celebrated for its ability to solve a wide range of skincare needs, concerns, and problems. While Dermalogica is used and recommended by professionals, it is as easy to use as any skincare line out there.
Typically anything negative said about the product is from patient misuse. Obviously, Dermalogica isn’t from the fountain of youth and isn’t for everyone. While the reviews are rave, some people’s skin will not react properly, and you may want to choose another skincare line.
What are Dermalogica ingredients?
Dermalogica is a vegan product line, just like Arbonne. You can see the ingredients listed online and on the products themselves!
Olay
My Favorite Olay Products
- Olay 7-in-1 – my lazy-girl skincare routine consists of this Olay product twice a day
- Olay moisturizer with collagen peptides – use this as my anti-aging cream. Olay with collagen peptides plumps, lifts and firms your skin in just one use. Realistically it took a few uses for me to notice but it’s better than months of other products.
- Eye cream by Olay – works great at reducing the dark circles under my eyes.
Olay is the first brand that comes to mind when I think of clean, healthy skincare products. My mom had the softest and most wrinkle-free skin I’ve ever seen. Her secret was Olay moisturizer every day.
Why olay?
Olay is big into the biology of the skin because if you understand skin, you can transform skin. Olay skincare screens 1,000 ingredients every year, and only the top 1% are used in their products. That sounds super wasteful to me, but I suppose that’s why Olay products work so efficiently.
One of the reasons I personally love this skincare line is because they use retinyl in their products, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. However, for those of you who aren’t a scientist or chemist, please note:Â While retinyl palmitate is an earlier form of retinol, it does not have the same effects. Instead, retinyl palmitate can effectively boost collagen fiber production in your skin, which helps you look younger, which is why we all use skincare products in the first place.
What products are in the Olay line?
Everything you find in the Arbonne line can be found in the Olay line.
- Facial cleansers
- Facial moisturizers
- Facial and eye treatments
- Body care products
Can you see the ingredients in each product?
Yes! Each product clearly describes its active ingredients on the package and container itself. Â If you are purchasing online, you can find an ingredient under each product listed clearly when you scroll down.
Tatcha
Top Pick – Tatcha’s Bestseller Set
Anytime you find a credible brand offering you a bundle of all their bestsellers, you take it and run! This is perfect for those of you who have never heard of Tatcha and want to try some of their products out before jumping in and buying just one.

In this bundle set, you will get :
- Pure One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil

My Favorite Tatcha Products
Tatcha Indigo Soothing Silk Body Butter– This product not only soothes your skin but helps irritation. Great for dry seasons at quenching your skin’s thirst and is great for warm seasons at giving your skin an overall dewy look.
- Tatcha Ageless Enriching Renewal Cream – Renewal cream helps reduce age spots and works great at preventing premature aging
- Pore Perfecting Cleansing + Moisturizing Duo – This handy duo hydrates and reduces the look of pores.
These products cover all of my bases, giving me exactly what I need for my skin, especially in the summer! Must-have skin products for me include things that help with anti-aging, are great for sensitive skin, and won’t look greasy. I sweat a ton in the summer, and these products still leave me with a perfect matte finish- a glowy skin combo. You won’t glowy skin like your young strolling out of the blue lagoon, not like you just ran a god damn marathon.
You can see in the picture how even my overall skin tone looks, and I am outside at a festival in the middle of summer. Overall this set helps minimize the look of my pores, firms my skin, and reduces my wrinkles and fine lines. It sounds like a miracle product line, and truly it is.
