ABC line

I would get the ABC oil before I got the wash, if you only get one. I like them all, but I love the oil! I think that is the one that helped my little girl so much.

Actually, I used the ABC wash on my daughter before I ordered the rest of the set. I started to notice a difference right away. I then ordered the Unwind Massage oil to put in her bath at night. It didn't seem to help or hurt the KP (but it certainly helps her unwind for bedtime!). I've only recently ordered the whole set. Come to think of it, I did start using the ABC sunscreen on her about the same time that I started using the wash... of course, not every day!

My local Arbonne rep gave me a travel size of the serum and the lotion. I've been using it for just over two weeks on one arm and following my usual regime on the other. At first I thought I saw a difference in the two, but saddly there has been no real difference. If anything, the arm with my old system looks better than the Arbonne one. I wish the rest of you luck with trying this out. I know several people found it to be helpful, but it didn't help me out.

My current regime is to use a B&BW product that has actually been discontinued (body scrub...I bought about 30 cases of it from various B&BW stores when they put them on clearance to get rid of them). It has a great exfoliant to it, but isn't nearly as harsh as their salt scrub. Then, immediately after my shower I use either Avon's Moisture Therapy or Avon's Moisture 24 (it's a face cream, but I use it on my arms too). This isn't a cure all, cause if it were..I wouldn't be looking to try something else....but it is much cheeper and has about the same results of anything else I've tried.

I've read a few different posts in the forums and I'm planning on giving the coconut oil thing a try in a couple weeks. I may also try that B&BW eucalyptus stuff you guys were talking about (if I can handle the smell...I have a lot of fragrance allergies).

I'm glad you tried it, but I'm sorry it didn't work for you. What type of KP do you have? Is it really red, blotchy, bumpy, dry? Maybe it only works on certain types or certain complexions. I'm glad you gave it a fair shot, though, and posted your results. It's important to post all results, even if they're not what we'd hoped for. I wonder if the wash would've made a difference... Didn't she have a sample of that, too? It's weird that she wouldn't have all 3, as they come in a pack together.

I have KPRF on my face. I've got really nasty KP that is dry, bumpy, and red/blotchy on my arms. On my legs I have just the red bumps. The dermatologist I went to when I was growing up said that most KP people "grow out of it in their late 20's" I wish that guy were still practicing so I could go in and smack him. I'm 30 now, and mine has gotten much worse. I now have KP, literaly, from head to toe. I occassionally get bumps that pop up on the back of my hands or on the top of my feet (though these are rare). I also have occassional ones in my scalp (again, still rare). In the last 4 years I've had to stop wearing lower cut tops because of the KP that has spread along my neck and chest. The last time I went to a derm to see if there was anything new at, she gave me some prescription (sorry I can't remember what it was). I tried it for 3 days and threw it away. It left my skin sticky all the time. I live in Louisiana and it is sticky enough here from the humidity...I didn't need any help.

I'm not sure on the Arbonne samples. She gave me a sample packet of the face stuff, which I tried once and didn't like....it actually made my face burn a little and made the KPRF on my face more enflamed. The Arbonne I used on my arms was nice...I love the smell, and I was very hopeful that it would work. For someone with a less severe case than mine, I'm sure it would work great.....it's just so hard to find anything that will touch this mess that I've got.

You should try the Arbonne Baby Care (ABC) line

Oh...you must have extremely sensitive skin. I don't think I would recommend the NutriminC face line on someone who is that sensitive. The Intelligence line, maybe, but probably the ABC line. It is great for sensitive skin. You might could ask her for a sample of that if the other stuff you are going to try doesn't work. And you could use the ABC line all over. It has a great body oil in it, too, that has sunflower, jojoba, soybean & shea butter oils. I love it!

hi ,
my daughter is 13 months and after four months of her doctor thinkin the bumps on her face were eczyma or just plain irritation and precribing 4 diffirent creams (that absolutely nothing) she has benn dx with kp. I saw a dermatologist and started her on one lotion which took away the pumps on her forearm, but her face is still red and bumpy. I started reading this site today and became so concern, Iam almost sick to my stomach. do you think the abc line would help and if so who do i buy it from. i have my second dermatologist appt today, incase he has something a little stronger to prescribe her. i would appreciate the help.

Patricia...

Hello!
I don't know if it would help or not, but I have a picture that I want you to see to see if it looks like your daughter's skin. If you could email me so I could send it to you, I would appreciate it janae1823@aol.com.
