I began to see results within the first 2 days of use. The toner tea bar foams to a thick lather which works well with my clarisonic, the cranberry grommage is THE BEST exfoliator I've used (and I've used many brands), and the white ice moisturizer absorbs quickly but still moisturizes my skin. Each product has a distinct scent (for those people who are scent sensitive), the toner tea bar fills my entire master bathroom. I have used ALOT of other brands and I think I've finally found a skincare line that works for me. Don't get me wrong.. I have seen results with other brands/products, but the results are short-lived; I can't go a day without my skin reverting back to it's oil-producing factory. It's been a week since I started using Arcona, I can visibly see that my pores are less congested... my skin looks and feels clean, even after a long day in make-up. I also don't appear as oily throughout the day. And just for kicks, I went a day without any products and my skin did not revert back to it's oily, congested ways. Although I hope to see more results with continued use, I'm more than satisfied with what I've seen so far.
I bought the kit because I used it last year and the results were fabulous. Since then, I tried a myriad of other natural or botanical facial care lines. All of them had either mediocre results, dried out my skin or made me break out. With Arcona, my skin is gently but thoroughly cleansed, hydrated, firm, tone is evened out and dark spots are lightened. My only disappointment is that it's very expensive.

Proslightweight, absorbs quickly
I went in to the Santa Monica Nordstrom with my mind set on buying a Dior product. An employee approached me and asked what I was looking for and what my concerns were with my skin. I have OILY but also SENSITIVE skin. Apparently a chemical and fragrance rich product like Dior isn't right for my skin type. She showed me over to the Acrona product which contains more natural ingredients and gently fights oily skin.
Since I've started using it I have definitely seen some major changes with my skin. My pores are cleaner (it's a miracle!), I have a more even tone to my skin, and my skin feels so much softer! I still have pesky little breakouts here and there but they have decreased in size and frequency.
The downside of this product is that there are a few steps and you have to keep track of that you do each day because you're supposed to switch them up. I also noticed when I accidentally did the wrong steps my skin didn't like it. But it's so worth the effort to get the whole kit!
The ladies at Nordstrom also gifted me with Acrona "Night Breeze" and gave me two samples. (The samples haven't seemed to be a huge factor in my skin recovery).
Seriously though! If you have been struggling with oily skin that is also sensitive THIS IS THE WAY TO GO!

Great for Oily Skin

I have tried every skincare for oily skin but nothing seems to reduce the oil on my face. When I went to the Nordstrom website, I had a live chat with a skincare specialist and they suggested the Arcona line. I am very glad they did, I am loving this kit so far.
