Has anybody tried any Arcona products? If so, what did you think? I love natural/organic skincare and am very interested in the Arcona line, but it's quite pricey, so I'd like to see if anyone else has experience with it. Thanks!

I used to work at a store in Los Angeles that was one of the first to sell Arcona. I was in love with it back then--it was one of the very first lines to use colloidal metals in their products such as copper and silver. I can honestly say that I enjoyed their body products (especially their scrubs) better than their facial products--but since then (that was a while ago) there are a lot more effective brands on this site. Even better than Arcona but in the same range of all-natural face care is Osea--their cleansers and their creams *really* are fabulous. Where I worked (Fred Segal Apothia), they sold Kiehl's, Arcona, and Osea and Osea was definitely the best of the bunch--and this coming from someone who had access to free smaples to all of the three lines (not any more)

Confused

what exactly does colloidal silver do? just realized that it is one of the top ingredients in the mask that I am using now?

I know this is an old thread, I just wanted to bump it up and get reviews from others who have used Arcona products. Thanks in advance!

I am using their magic white ice and tabula rasa right now. I like the feel of white ice on my face. It's light and quick absorbing for my combination/oily skin, especially in the summer time. It doesn't irritate or cause break out. Smell is good too. But it's a little pricey for just 1 oz in my opinion.
Tabula rasa is so so, doesn't help with my acne. Their cranberry toner is a good one too. It is clean and fresh.
The ingredients of their products seem to be very natural. But the preservative seem to be very little too, and I am a little worried about this.
PS, the package of magic white ice is really bad. You have to twist the pump and press it several times to get enough for application.

Thanks a lot for the info! Everyone seems to state it is overpriced for what you get. Keep us posted on how you like it please.

Sure! I have several samples sitting on my desk. I'll give them a try. Very Happy
