Amazing Results!
I have extremely sensitive fair skin with moderate cystic and nodular acne, primarily on my cheeks, chin, and jawline. I've tried many natural acne treatments (I'm 38), with little to no results, and many of these also ended up irritating my skin even further. Not so with ARCONA. I could notice a difference in the smoothness and texture of my skin after one night. I've been using the system for 1 month and my cysts and nodules have been reduced by 80%, my scars are shrinking, the blackheads on my nose and chin are almost gone, my large pores have closed, and the redness that persisted sometimes for months after a cyst is almost gone. I'm actually excited to look in the mirror each morning. The kit includes the Raspberry Cleansing Bar, which will last much longer if you cut it into four pieces and freeze three of them in a plastic bag. Keep your small piece in the jar included, making sure to empty out any excess water before storing. This bar has a rich lather, a pleasant(not cloying or overly sweet) raspberry scent, and it leaves your skin very soft and moisturized. The Cranberry Gommage is the best scrub I've ever used. The jojoba beads are super fine, like sand, and they do an incredible job of removing blackheads and smoothing your skin without feeling scratchy or rough. My skin has never been this soft before. I use it every other day with no irritation. The Tabula Rasa, a toner, is probably the product I like least, and I purchased the Raspberry Clarifying Pads to replace this, since I'm having such fantastic results with all the other products containing salicylic acid. I can say that the Tabula Rasa feels very refreshing, and it helps with razor burn and ingrown hairs. I discovered that if I wet a q-tip first, squeeze it out, then pump one squirt into the inverted cap, I can cover my whole face, neck, and chest with a single pump by dipping it repeatedly into the product in the cap. Much less waste. The a.m. and p.m lotions are similar and clearly the powerhouses of this regime. I can treat an emerging pimple and overnight its either reabsorbed and gone or come to a head and is easily expressed(this happens mostly to deep nodules that have hardened beyond the point of being reabsorbed). A little-one pump-is enough for my face, neck, and chest. If you use moisturizer, put that on first, then these lotions, otherwise they have a tendency to ball up and flake off. I also noticed that if i use these on my upper lip, they tend to migrate down onto my lips, where they burn slightly and taste bad. My solution is to avoid putting it on my upper lip entirely. They feel sticky at first but dry to a smooth finish. My skin feels significantly softer and my fine lines, as well as some deep scars, are lessened, too. I've never had a product make such a remarkable, quick improvement in my skin, until ARCONA. I highly recommend this entire line of products. Expensive, and worth it at twice the price. The products last a very long time, since you use so little, and as my skin improves, I'm using less and less. I am so grateful to find a natural product that delivers such big results! Ten Stars!

Awesome kit
I've been using this kit for a bit over than two weeks and it's done wonders to my skin. I have combined skin, tendency to dry on the cheeks and under the eyes, but at the same time moderately oily T-zone. I usually have a few huge pimples on my jawline, chin and in my forehead where the hair starts to grow, some black pores on those areas too, and dilated pores on my cheeks.Since the first day I started to use this kit, I noticed how my pores got smaller and my pimples started to dry out, and by today my skin looks wonderfully clean and light. I also notice that it's hydrated evenly; no oily nor dry zones. There are almost no signs of pimples either, just a few small ones on my forehead but that's it.This kit comes with a sort of schedule where it tells you in which days and moment you should use which product. I've been following it just like it's written and it has done wonders.This kit comes with 2 lotions (AM-PM), a toner called Tabula Rasa, a cleansing bar (Raspberry Clarifying Bar), and an exfoliating gel (Cranberry Gommage). I simply love the fruity sweet smell of the last two, it's just like raspberries and strawberries together. For those who dislike this kind of smells, don't worry because it won't stay for longer than a minute or two after you use them. Both lotions have a sort of cinnamon-minted scent, which is pretty nice and soft, and the consistency is quite light, almost like a gel. For these, as the indications say, I only use them on problem areas (in my case as mentioned above; chin, forehead, and jawline), while on the rest of my face I compliment my routine with Arcona Peptide Hydrating Complex or Magic Dry Ice, and on the mornings, I finish by adding sunblock (no make up for me as I'm not a big fan of it). The Tabula Rasa Toner is the one I have a love/hate relationship with; the smell is horribly strong (smells like Salicilyc Acid or something like that) but although it's not very nice, it does wonders on dilated pores.My skin is quite sensitive and tends to break out quite easily, but so far I've had no problems with this kit; no soreness or dryness.Overall, I have to say that these last two weeks I've had a wonderful skin and I'm not the only one who noticed! All my friends and relatives that I've met these days have noted how my skin "glows".I would recommend this kit 100% :)

One thing I can't live without
As someone who has very sensitive and later in life problem skin, I was hesitant. Arcona was recommended to me and I can't say enough about it. My skin feels fabulous, clear and without any irritations. I actually can't wait to use this every day.

WASTE OF MONEY
After thousands good words about this kid I made the biggest mistake throwing almost $100 for this unhelpful products!!! I have problem skin, so i went to nordstrom store to look for product of another brand not arcona. The assistant manager who was dermatologist expert (that what she said) told me "the best solution for your problem is ARCONA ARCONA Travel Kit Basic Five - Problem Skin". I told her that I have been trying so many different products and non of them help me and I told her that I don`t think this will help me so I don`t want to loose another $100. She keeps telling me that I will be so happy even after a week when Ii see the results....after a month properly using of the product every morning and every night the only good result is cleaner skin but not clean skin. I still have breakouts I still have blackheads and I still have problem skin. The products of arcona are way too pricy and you are not getting what you expected. NEVER gonna buy again!!!
