It sounds like your consultant did not provide you with the customer service expected of all Rodan + Fields consultants. Dermatologist and skin care experts will be honest with you regarding any product. I am by nature a huge skeptic. Everyones skin is different. I found out the hard way that I am allergic to fragrance in mascara (Estee Lauder) and other lash products. Then after months of pressure I finally bought the line for my husband and when it showed up one of the products had a warning on it that it had an ingredient in it that was known to cause cancer in the State of California. So glad Im not alone in this. This is complete garbage and dangerous! Not only are our products amazing, so is meeting so many wonderful people and helping them to get their BEST SKIN EVER!!!

I took pics before I started and used reverse and redefine along with the roller and macro exfoliator. Also, tried to call but had to listen to music and other stuff for an hour and no one ever came to help so I had to hang up! I stopped using Rodan and fields for several months and immediately noticed a difference with my pore size starting to enlarge again. Also the first week they like you to ease into it but after that make sure you are using it everyday! The bashing in these comments is ridiculous! No means no. My mother also gets very itchy and irritated eyes from using lash boost, so you arent alone. My face doesnt even feel like MY face anymore, its so soft & smooth, you would never know I was using strong acne products. Check the income disclosure. Many of the Rodan and Fields products include dimethicone and other polymers in their formulations (and near the top of the ingredient list- meaning they are amongst the highest concentration)not only are the majority of the beneficial ingredients they claim in their marketing located near the bottom of every list (meaning they are in very low concentration), but many of them are being blocked from being able to absorb into the skin due to the presence of the larger molecular sizes of the ingredients that precede them. I even got a sample of the microderm paste. Then contact me at 601-876-0289 to become a consultant for these amazing products or to use the products yourself. I think most consultants started out using the products and loved them that they just wanted to share them with others. If you would like to chat about the products ONLY let me know my face book is Nicole Benninga. The product itself. Just let me know what works for you.

I tried all the other over the counter stuff , didnt work and I couldnt return it for any refund, let alone a FULL refund. I want it to work so now what? After almost 90 days of getting the run around from the sales consultant, some terse messages to her and me calling R&F myself, my refund is FINALLY being processed. RODAN and FIELDS is always open for business even during quarantine! The goodwill and cameraderie you describe is a credit to the consultants and not the business. It must be the marketing style that allows them to get away with not having the warning. Have these people ever thought that these Rodan and Fields consultants use the products because they work and they love them like anyone else who uses the products who arent consultants! BTW, I still love R&F products; it has taken me time to know which ones work for me. almost immediately i noticed a slight breakout / under-the-skin redness. You have to remember, consultants do not have a marketing budgets for commercial, magazine ads, hiring of models for said ads etc. You can get more information about joining the company, and actually join the team by going to: Rodan+Fields was sold in department stores for several years and their genius business team choose to change its selling method to direct sales so they can reach more people.

I struggled with cystic acne for 4 years, trying every product on the market. Not everything liked by some will be liked by all and since people have a variety of skin issues and conditions there wont be a single solution for everyone. Horribly run companyI cant support that. I love that as the seasons change and my skin changes I can incorporate different products to help! I will be happy to share my before and afters. I wish you the best of luck, Britney! I have tried both the Reverse toner and the Redefine moisturizer. What amazing results! Severe Reaction I Love the products and am a new consultant! Most dermatologist tell you this when you start products. The Rodan and Fields REDEFINE Regimen contains Retinoids in the PM step, since retinoids should be used at night.

In 2002 they launched Rodan + Fields. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED and also scared that my skin is forever ruined by these terrible products. Too much product is the main culprit of redness and irritation. I am amazed at how well they work, when I stick to it. Ive been using Rodan and field for about three weeks now and on the box it said by now my acne should be clearing up but so far all it has done is dry out my skin ALOT. After only 3 weeks I was no longer wearing any makeup on my face to try and hide. I guess it is like anything else, you may get people who look to sell just to sell. I also had the same problem. I then tried to return this because they have a satisfaction guarantee. In addition, most people (myself included) find that the redness and irritation goes away after 3-4 days of use.

Hi Abby, If you have it all you have to do is show your credit card company the return policy and they will credit your account and go after them themselves . This has not been my experience at all. I see people talking bad about consultants on here and keep asking for users opinions, well, thats the whole point. I got the Reverse regimen, because, frankly, I dont have a lot of skin problems. Pricey trash!!!! In response to Forbes request for insight into its decline in consultants, a Rodan + Fields spokesperson said: We are proud of the large number of people who are part of the R+F community and represent and share our brand.. There is NO risk AND a chance to be as happy as I have been. These products have changed my skin and changed my life!!! As the saying goes, the proof is in the pudding- or in the sales numbers. Ive tried numerous products in all price ranges and Rodan and Fields is the ONLY one that has offered results. If so, when?!!!!!

I love the Redefine regimen as I am 61 and people say my skin looks amazing, even when I was going through chemo. It wasnt as expensive as I expected, lord knows I have spent a lot more money on other products. Their regimen evened out my skin. They look horrible with mascara on. Not to mention the gas and other nasties. I am a user and a consultant and have been using the Redefine regimen, the micro-dermabrasion paste, the night serum, and the AmpMD roller for about 14 months now. derivative to be effective, it must first be converted to retinoic acid. @NT, the air we breathe is very dangerous.

Our skin is the largest organ in our body, and it is a big reflection of what you eat and your lifestyle. And I dont need it !!! I had to sneak a few times and apply a simple moisturizer got from England. The Reverse product line burned my face and the company, instead of switching me to a different product, told me to go see my doctor. If you shower on Monday-your results from that shower wont last until Friday- you to continue to take care of your skin- its cream and lotion not a magic wand. SSC works..Their active ingredients far outweigh most of the high end products that retail for 4x the price. Also not all people are against harsh things in products. But the real payday comes when salespeople recruit others to sell even more of their products. Tonia. The ingredients in both of these lines are pretty harsh on the skin. So obviously ya got some consultants leaving comments on herehowever a friend of mine sells & I thought I might help her out & buy. We recommendThe Defence Serum, followed byThe Moisturizer.

Thats why applying skin care products that contain collagen wont provide the anti-aging benefits youre looking for. And stopped spending hundreds of dollars on dermatologist recommended products that didnt work. My consultant doesnt get same credit I realized after. I tried it and absolutely love it. Is that really something to complain about? I do like the scent and it has reduced my sun spots. After hearing complaints from younger women about wrinkles, Fields and Rodan created an anti-aging regimen under the brand Rodan + Fields, which launched in 2002 in department stores. Beginning a new career and sooo looking forward to it!! Did you find it to be worth signing on? I used to go through a bottle a month of foundation/cover-up. Ive also found that Rodan and Fields products are FDA approved and that most out there are not. First, they are cheap. Rodan + Fields sells individual products as well as skincare kits.
