For the record Adrienne's Argan Oil always had Boabob in it; this is not new. I have a bigger issue with the idea that the essentials cream is only offered twice a year, BOGO, when it's offered every time she's in town! Or that the kit they're offering is the largest when they've sold larger (frequently)!
As for the 4 billion year remark did they actually say discovered or did they say it's a gemstone that's been around for 4 billion years? There is a difference

Signature Club A Argan oil is not organic, pure, cold pressed argan oil.  It has other ingredients in it.

Natalie has been used to advertise the Aragon oil for a while now. Since it was first introduced, there came a time when Adrienne started talking about Baobob (I can't spell) oil. I was watching Natalie for a little while today and thought that she looked good. I also thought that she has good genes (based upon the photo of her mother), probably eats very very well, and protects her skin from the sun. (I tried pure, cold pressed, argon oil (not this brand) a while back and frankly preferred olive oil so did not add to my routine.)
Do the math.

I recently tried two small try-me SCA kits (Argon and Vit C) along with a few separate purchases from eBay.  I was curious about the products because of recommendations from a Beauty Board poster and because I caught a presentation with Natalie who looks amazing.  Not only was I underwhelmed with the products, my non-sensitive skin broke out with weird circular bumps around some pores, and I developed a white, hard bump on the outer side of both eyes...probably from the Vit C eye ointment.  I discontinued using all products on my face and are using most of them on my chest and neck, which don't seem to react to them like my face did.  I do have to say, though, that I like the Argon neck cream and Argon facial day cream spf 25 (which I use on my neck during the day).  Both of these creams are light with a light scent and give a soft shimmer to the skin.  I use them over The Ordinary Matrixyl 10% + HA.  Not sure I'll repurchase them when they are gone, but I do like them.  I doubt I ever purchase any SCA again as there are just a lot better products out there...my favorite being Paula's Choice although I am experimenting with Deciem's The Ordinary and Hylamide brands.

@Ainhisg

 I tried one of her mega kits once, vitamin C, and actually liked the capsules and the body products. I haven't seen a kit of that size since but it was fun getting so much stuff all at once!

I did order the capsules again on another occasion, a while ago, when it came with her candle light which is identical to It's hello light

LOL.  A billion years ago.  For some reason those JTV hosts annoy the heck outta me.  I can only watch for a second.

A former neighbor of mine started using Adrienne's argan oil when she introduced it.  She cocktailed SCA argan and vitamin C.  She was mid-50s when she started.  She didn't look bad, but her complexion was dry, blotchy, and had wrinkles and crinkles many 50 year-olds have. After a while, I swear her skin started to look so good she was inspired to lose weight, change her hair, and started dating and dancing.  In other words, it all began with a bottle of Morrocan oil.

Whatever the woman is doing, she looks good!  Personally, I can't use argon oil.  Too greasy.  Natalie looks greasy, so if you like that look, go for it!  Don't downplay some of these creams.  I have success with what I use, and I hope you find something that works for you as well.  Of course, these people are here to sell us products.  That's why we're here as well.  Watching and deciding what we'd like to try.  For that, I thank them!
