A huge and empathic NO to Dr. Hauschka.
The esthetician that prescribed the treatments appropriate for my skin type seemed very knowledgeable about skin condition and seemed to know what she was talking about.
I have oily, congested, acne prone skin with some enlarged pores.
The products that I was advised to use, left my skin irritated beyond belief. The entire process took a very long time and I did not like the smell or the feel of the products. They left my skin dried up yet still congested and with even more acne. I used them for about a month. Things kept getting worse and not better so I gave up on them. Since then I have learned to read and research ingredients and my skin is better for that.
I have not tried any of the other lines you mention so I can't comment there. |

| I've only used Juice Beauty, but I really like it, especially the stem cellular repair moisturiser. |

I vote Eminence.
I have used their day Persimmon spf cream which is lovely. It left my skin so smooth and firm. Their apple body wash is wonderfully fresh as it makes my bathroom smell of apples.
I have also used some of their masques and the probiotic masque is great. It softens, heals, and hydrates my skin overnight.
The only downside is that their products are expensive but honestly, they are the best organic products I have ever come across. |

Interesting to read this review. I have been a fan of Dr H for about 5 years. It is one of the few brands which my sensitive skin can tolerate. Maybe it is good for sensitive skin but not so much for oily skin... |

...and there's the problem with other people's opinions. The whole world may like a product, but you have no idea how you or your skin will react to it. I would never ever consider my skin to be sensitive. I could take a scrubbing brush to it and it would be just fine. The Dr. H products however irritated me to no end. Obviously there are a lot of people that use and love them and I am just not one of them. I suppose it's all a trial and error process. |

I've used all of those brands, and various products within them, except for Arcona. I can't say one is better than another really. They each have star products. Dr Hauschka cleansing cream is stil one of the best pore de-cloggers I have ever used, but it requires a bit of dedication in the morning (few minutes). Eminence Organics has an *amazing* line up of masks and feels more natural than the other brands (feels, not necessarily is  ). Juice Beauty made my skin break out in deep cystic bumps, though I am about to try the serum again just to see if that happens again Jurlique has overall a nice line-up of products and, over the years, I have used their cleansers, moisturisers, masks and treatment creams, and powders, and would use them again. |

| i too have used all the products except for Arcona. I really do like Dr. H products. Not a fan of Jurlique or Juice beauty. My vote is for Eminence. I'm using the eminence line right now as well as the Dr. H cleansing cream (which will still always be one of my favs). |

| Each line has their strong products and weak products. I would say that with Dr. H products, their strong products are: most definitely their Cleansing cream, their cleansing milk is good as well for removing make-up first before proceeding with the cleansing cream (better for dryer skin types though). Their rejuvenating mask is really good to revitalize the skin, shrink pores and hydrate. With Eminence i really like their moisturizers w/ SPF, their masks and cleansers. They have a bigger selection as well in their line and you can customize based on your specific skin concerns. Although i'm not big on their eye creams. A good idea is to just sift through threads on here or the net. Usually the most popular products in each brand are their best products |

| Is Osea organic? If it is it beats all of those brands hands down. |

| I do like Dr.Hauschka and Jurlique but they are so darned expensive that I find it difficult to use them regularly. Plus every one in a while they change their packaging and labels. Jurlique used to have a cream which was a moisturiser called "Wrinkle softener" but its no longer called that but something else. |
