A lot of Arbonne representatives have horror stories about the recruitment process. They were promised a great team environment and support. But once they joined, they found that their so - called 'mentors' were more interested in getting them to buy more products for themselves rather than actually helping them build a successful business. Some were even given false information about the market demand for Arbonne products in their area.
One particular horror story is about an Arbonne skincare product that was supposed to be suitable for all skin types. A customer with sensitive skin bought it, and within a few days, her skin became red, itchy, and inflamed. She tried to return the product but had a very difficult time dealing with the company's return policy. They made it seem like it was her fault for having a reaction, rather than taking responsibility for the product not being as skin - friendly as they claimed.
Sure. There was a case where a customer bought an Arbonne weight - loss supplement. After taking it as directed, she experienced severe stomach cramps and nausea. When she contacted the company for help or an explanation, she got very little support. The company seemed more interested in defending the product than in helping her with her health issues.
Sure. One success story could be about a person who started using Arbonne products for skin care. Their skin was dull and had some minor issues like dryness. After using Arbonne's skin care line regularly, their skin became more radiant and hydrated. Another success might be a distributor who joined Arbonne. They were initially struggling in their career but with Arbonne's business model and support, they managed to build a strong customer base and earn a good income.
Some Arbonne horror stories involve the quality of the products not being as advertised. There have been reports of products causing allergic reactions, even though they were marketed as hypoallergenic. People who trusted the brand's claims put these products on their skin or ingested them (if it was a dietary supplement), and then had to deal with unpleasant and sometimes serious allergic symptoms. This led to disappointment and a sense of betrayal from the brand.
There was a student who got sick during a crucial exam week. They had to take the exams while feeling really unwell. The horror was not only in the physical discomfort but also in the fear of not performing well because of their illness. The school's strict exam policies didn't really allow for much flexibility in such cases.
One person said that after starting Shakeology, they felt extremely fatigued all the time. It was as if their energy levels had dropped rather than increased as the product promised.
Sure. One 'bellafill horror story' is about a man who had Bellafill injected in his nasolabial folds. After a while, he noticed that the area became hard and rigid. It made his facial expressions look odd and restricted his normal movement. He regretted getting the Bellafill injection as it really affected his appearance in a negative way.
Yes. There was a story of a young woman who was captured by ISIS. She was sold into slavery and endured countless physical and mental abuses. Her life was completely ruined by those barbarians.
A user shared that they followed Noom's advice strictly but still didn't see any significant weight loss results. They were disappointed as they had put in a lot of effort, changing their eating habits and increasing their exercise as per the app's suggestions. They felt that the app's promised outcomes were not realistic for everyone.
Yes. There was a story of a young man who was arrested on false charges. He was sent to a gulag in Siberia. The winter there was brutal. He was given thin rags to wear and had to sleep on a cold, hard floor. Every day, he was forced to cut down trees in the freezing forest. His hands became frostbitten, but he was not allowed any medical treatment. He witnessed many of his fellow prisoners die from the cold, hunger, and exhaustion.
Sure. I've heard of a person who developed tardive dyskinesia, which is involuntary muscle movements, after taking olanzapine for a while. Her face would twitch uncontrollably at times, and she was very self - conscious about it. It affected her social life as she was afraid to go out in public. Also, a man had such bad mood swings on olanzapine that he almost lost his job. He would get angry at his colleagues for no reason, and it took a long time to figure out that it might be the side effect of the drug.
Sure. I heard of a patient who started taking an SSRI and developed a severe rash all over their body. It was itchy and painful, and the doctors weren't sure at first if it was related to the SSRI or something else. But as soon as they stopped the SSRI, the rash started to clear up.
