Men's Skincare Arbonne vs. ?

Can anyone recommend another product similar to Nutrimen from Arbonne? I really like the shaving Gel and face wash, but after reading more regarding the company I am less than impressed.

Thanks!

strangej, could you elaborate on what you dislike about Arbonne? I could use the ammo.

Mostly I think they charge way to much and for products that you need to apply 2 times a day the bottle is way to small. I also think their pumps and bottles are very low quality.

I really don't like MLM scheme's and there is a lot of info out there were consultants are getting scamed.

I am not a man (IANAM) but I do use a lot of skincare products and have used some Arbonne products in the past. On the whole my favorite brands are Origins and Dermalogica. Both are pricey but last forever (my facewash from Origins, used every day will last me at least 6 months) and both have a really versatile product line. I don't know where you live, but if you're close to an Origins store or a Dermalogica reseller you might want to go in and ask for a couple samples, they'll usually give you a few days worth.

I use Biotherm's Acnoclean Non-Foaming shaving gel and I think that it's fantastic.

It's also not as expensive as non-foaming shaving gels (of other brands) at places like Holt Renfrew. You'll probably be able to find it at some of the better (or in better neighbourhoods) drug stores.

For moisturizer, I like Biotherm's Aquapower.

For daily exfoliant, I use Vichy's Exfoliating gel.

For skin cleaning, I use Teraseptic non-foaming skin cleanser.

Nights, I'll use Dermalogica's Clay cleanser.

My husband uses the shave cream from the Body Shop and it's completely revolutionized his feelings about shaving.
