Have you been introduced to the NuSkin products and opportunity and are now doing your due diligence research to find out if it`s legit or not.
If this is the case, then good for you for not just jumping right in.
Any ”opportunity” that will take time, money and effort should be well researched before making a decision.
NuSkin is a direct sales a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM)company that market and sell skin care products. With most of these MLM ”opportunities”, the real money maker is not in selling the products but to recruit people to join, and NuSkin does not seem to be different.
In this article, we dig deeper to see if there really is a real opportunity to make decent money with this company. This is our…
Nu Skin Review – Is NuSkin a Scam or Not?
The NuSkin Products
NuSkin distributes more than 200 products in both personal care and nutritional supplements.
Brands and products like ageLOC, spy systems, face targeted treatments, Nu Skin 180, body care, hair products and cosmetics are a few of the categories represented by NuSkin. Also, vitamins, nutritional and weight management are represented by this company.
If you are interested in trying their products out be well aware of their refund policy.
It`s a pretty impressive list of products but what are real users saying about them?
Well, when I scratch the surface and typed in ”Nuskin real user reviews” into Google I find some pretty interesting stuff.
The first thing that pops up is a user that spend $400 on a spa system and thought it was a total waste of time and money.
Weight management – One user bought the weight loss supplement system for $1500 and was promised miracles. She lost 5 pounds but gained it all back after she stopped using the products.
One user bought some products ”to help a friend out”. She wanted to return the but was told the return time was passed…
Monthly subscription – one user bought a sample or so he thought. Turned out he was signed up for a monthly subscription. He tried to call them to resolve the problem but they charged him for two more months…
The sad part is that the list of complaints goes on.
The Nu Skin Company
NuSkin has been around since 1984. Reviewing some of these MLM opportunities, you see them come and go. NuSkin seems like a company that will not close their doors tomorrow though.
They are globally representatives in 53 markets. Co-founded by 4 driven individuals.
But is it all good and glory? Not really, Nu Skin has been in trouble numerous times.
Here is an older charge from 1997 – NuSkin to pay $1.5 million to resolve FTC charges over fat loss claims for supplements. Source FTC.
2014 China fines Nu Skin. Source Reuters.
What Will It Take to Make Money with NuSkin
There is some money to make on the actual products, but the money ”opportunity” lays in getting family and friends involved, recruiting and building a downline. So it`s selling the ”opportunity” to family and friends not really the products.
NuSkin has a commission report from 2013 out. This is their own report, that they put out themselves. These are some of the numbers from the report:
14.19% – An average of US active distributes who earned a commission check on a monthly basis. Leaving 85% earning no money.
5.38% – Earned a monthly average commission of $30.
$176 – Is the average commission paid to US Active Distributors each month. That is a yearly income of $2112, according to their own numbers.
To me, that seems like a lot of hype for little money.
What Will Nu Skin Cost You?
Automatic Delivery Rewards (ADR) Program
It is recommended to join the automatic delivery rewards (ADR) program, to receive additional rewards. The ADR program is like a monthly subscription. All the monthly ADR packages that I found was over $100. So this means that you would spend + $100 each and every month.
FYI – You have to call customer support to cancel you can NOT cancel the ADR online.
Update – February 2016:
Commissions and sales bonuses are paid only to active Distributors. See Glossary for explanation of Active Requirements, including retail sales requirements. You must have sold or consumed 80% of your inventory before your next order.
Active Requirements:
DISTRIBUTOR AND QUALIFYING EXECUTIVE DISTRIBUTOR: 200 L1 VOLUME & 5 CUSTOMER SALES PER MONTH EXECUTIVE DISTRIBUTOR: 2,000 GROUP SALES VOLUME & 5 CUSTOMER SALES PER MONTH
So this means you have to have 5 customer sales + 200 L1 Volume sales (around $200 – 350 in sales) each and every month, to be able to qualify as an active distributor and earn commission and sales bonuses.
Ways to Make Money with Nu Skin
There`s six different levels that you can earn with NuSkin. They all have their own requirements, rules and kick backs. A lot of different rules and regulations. You can see the compensation plan here.
This is a compensation plan you have to study a bit. It is not 100% clear that if you recruit 2 people this is how much you will earn…
One requirement that I find kind of odd is that you have to consume or sell 80% of your inventory before your next order.
How to Get to $500 Monthly
When I do these reviews I like to check and see how you can get to $500 monthly. In this case with NuSkin, you have to get up to a Gold Executive level to reach that amount. According to their own numbers, 1.09% reach that level.
If you do reach Gold Executive you make $887. It is very unclear what you need to do to reach that level though. How many people do you need to recruit? What will it cost to get to that level?
The problem I have here is that only 1.59% make more money than that. It`s not impossible to make $500/month but not very many do.
It sounds like it will be very difficult to make any real money with this program. Not saying it can`t be done, but a very few are doing it.
Who Is NuSkin For?
I would say that if you support the following, then this might be for you…
- If you are comfortable with the MLM model where you recruit family and friends.
- If you are ok with a program that relies on the ”opportunity” instead of the product itself.
- If you know the compensation plan and the recorded earnings and are fine with that.
- If you have tried the products and love them.
If you agree with the above statements then NuSkin might be for you.
One of the members over at WA shared his Nu Skin story with me. This is his story…
Dennis NuSkin Story
A good friend of mine at work said he was leaving the company to join his wife full time to work their MLM business (NuSkin Intl). I joined my friend at a couple hotel meetings and bought the start-up kit so he would get credit.
It didn’t take me long to realize I was not comfortable with the 3-foot rule … always share the business with anyone who was standing within 3 feet of you (at the mall, in the grocery line, etc).
I used the NuSkin products for a while … was mostly interested in their vitamin supplements. That was my first experience with the benefits of “anti-oxidants”. The main product line was personal care products.
I did not make a dime … but admittedly I did not actively “recruit” even family and friends. I remember being mostly embarrassed about getting involved.
The focus of the organization was definitely “recruiting” … building the down line. The focus of the company (NuSkin) seemed more about the products.
In those days marketing was pretty much focused on in-home parties and if your upline was big enough staging Hotel Meetings. What turned my off the most was the “flashiness” of the upline folks…
Thank you, Dennis
Nu Skin Pros and Cons
Pros
- The company was founded in 1984, it`s been around for a while.
Cons
- The products are hype with little to back that hype up.
- The money seems to be in building a team, not in the products.
- 85% earn no money.
Final Verdict – Is NuSkin a Scam
This is not focused on the products, it`s focused on selling the “opportunity” to family and friends with the chance of earning no to very little money.
To me, NuSkin is not worth MY time or money. Is NuSkin a scam? That will be up to you to decide.
What`s Your Options Now?
I like beauty products but are not into Nu Skin
If you enjoy skin products and beauty products why not start your own website for free. You don`t have to bug family and friends to buy from you but you can recommend products that you truly enjoy.
Creating a website for yourself, you have control over your own time and your own site, you are in charge. You can find out more about that here.
Nu Skin sounds like it`s for me
If this is for you then I wish you good luck. You might want to read this article here – 10 tips before joining an MLM opportunity.
Either way, having a website where you promote your business is the way to go. You can find out more about that here, my number 1 free way to make money online.
What do you think about Nu Skin? Do you have a personal experience with them? Feel free to share in the comment section below.
Have a productive day,
Derek says
Always though MLMs were not the best way to make money. Article was very thorough.
Vicky says
Unfortunately a lot of the MLM programs out there have their issues. Promises of a lot of income when in fact that is only for a few.
I do believe that if you are approached by any MLM opportunity you should do your research and find out what it truly takes to make money with it.
Know what you get yourself into. That`s the reason for my review.
Vicky
Steven says
Your review is very good. Some changes have been made but overall Nu Skin is nothing but an over-prised-products sales/recruiting scam.
Vicky says
Glad you liked the review Steven, thank you for your comments,
Vicky
Claire Lynas says
You do not have to buy any product kit to start this business (I didnt)
You do not have to have a monthly ADR it does not effect the money you earn so that is a lie.
I haven’t put a penny into this business and I am now a gold executive.
The products are amazing I use them regurly!
There are many scams out there but Nu skin is not one of them.
There is many things written in this that is not true or accurate which is giving people false information.
Vicky says
Hi Claire,
Thank you for pointing out that there has been changes. I see that NuSkin has updated their terms as of February 2016…
There is requirements to make commissions though, taken directly from the terms…
DISTRIBUTOR AND QUALIFYING EXECUTIVE DISTRIBUTOR: 200 L1 VOLUME & 5 CUSTOMER SALES PER MONTH EXECUTIVE DISTRIBUTOR: 2,000 GROUP SALES VOLUME & 5 CUSTOMER SALES PER MONTH
How can you not have put a penny into the business? Did you not buy the products, did you not try them?
I will be happy to receive the correct updated information, if there is still something that’s not accurate. Feel free to share here in the comment section.
Thank you,
Vicky
mindi says
you are so right people are saying its a scam when its really not !! its also because theyve never tried before or never made an effort
Dickkoo says
I try TR90. Weight 73kg. After 2mths 71.4kg. Big change? Wasted my money. Better eat oats salads fruits gym
Pierrot says
The thing i like about people who fail to lose weight is: they already failed 10 times. And still blame the program or product.
10 programs . 10 failures. Strange are all the program big scams … ????
About this article.
Maybe is nu skim a scam maybe not.
But … if making money was easy everybody would be rich!!
There are 1000 ways to make money.
Unfortunately you should admit that nu skin is one of them.
As you has written
“”14.19% – An average of US active distributes who earned a commission check on a monthly basis. Leaving 85% earning no money.””
Those 14% are a big numer.
Do you know how many people create apps. Internet site. Shops. Brands. Business etc… and failed.
Does that mean that all of those are bad businesses????
But you sure know successful apps. Internet site. Shops. Brands. Business etc…
Remember is making money was easy everybody would be rich!!!
Instead of making this oriented article. Just write nu skin is not for you. You tried and failed. And says what you think you should have done to make it work.
Vicky says
There are MANY ways to make money… and like I end the article… “If this is for you then I wish you good luck.”
LuAnn says
I ordered this thinking it was what Christie Brinlkey uses. The site led me to believe it was her skin care line. I am very disappointed Although i am only out about 15.00 dollars.
Vicky says
Hey, if you are disappointed, $15 are too much. Sorry about that!!
Elaine says
Hi,
I wanted to join the Nu Skin program after being contacted by someone over facebook. They promise the world and it seems almost to good to be true. I started questioning them after I sent a distributor a message and she said I must give all my personal information before she will give me any information about the opportunity.
I am so glad I did a little research and came across your post. Thank you so much for warning me and giving all the information before it was to late.
Kind Regards
Elaine
Vicky says
Hi Elaine,
Glad you found the post helpful.
If the opportunity was THAT great, why wouldn’t she be open and share it all, BEFORE you hand over your personal information.
If a person is confident in a product or process, they would excitedly share without any strings attached…
I’m glad you did some more research and found a solution that will work for you!!
Have a great day,
Vicky
sara says
But I WASN’T!
Another one called me over skype and when she spoke with me ( I was soooo tired, maybe that’s why I wasn’t thinking straight?!) she made me start an account while we were talking. She said that the distributers sees the real prices on the products (and I could check them out until the next skype-call that we were going to have)… so she made me start an account. I HAVE NO IDEA TO DELETE IT! AH! Now I’m a bit scared that there’s no turning back…
She also said to med that I could read the policy terms / rights /legals later. Not sursprised, they’re sooooo long.
Do you know how to end it? I haven’t started anything really, no credit card details etc… But it seems to be difficult to delete the account though :/
Gail says
I use the products. They are quite expensive but i find them very good particularly the body butter. Also the toothpaste.
The company must be good to work for as i see friends go on annual trips to amazing locations around the world. Do u happen to know if the comoany pays for these trips?
Vicky says
Hi Gail,
Glad you enjoy the products. I don’t know if those trips are private trips or paid by NuSkin, no. Sorry.
Steven says
Only Hawaiian Blue Diamonds are invited to go on these trips. Many of them are Tillotson family members and old time distributors who have downlines in Asia. There are only a very few who make money. Less than one tenth of one percent! Also know that Nathan Ricks is married to Craig Tillotson’s sister. Craig is Nu Skin cofounder Sandie Tillotson’s ex husband. Derek, Blake, Scott and Craig Bryson are all family. No one makes any money unless they started a long time ago or have downlines in China and Korea. Nu Skin USA is dead.
Sam says
NuSkin (like many other MLMs) provide incentive trips to their team members. Typically, there are goals that are set by the higher executives each year. Once these goals are met by distributors they qualify for the trip. The trips are typically all expenses paid for two. Example, this year NuSkin will be taking their distributors (who meet the requirements) to a resort in South Africa. In the past they have done resorts in Hawaii and other exotic destinations.
Vicky says
To qualify for the South African trip you need to
Be an Executive Distributor 2.000 TOV points (Total Organizational Volume (TOV) is the sum of your own GSV and the GSV of your breakaway Executives G1-G6.) or Earn Success Points.
There are a lot of fine print rules to qualify…
Here is some more info:

Sam says
I am an active distributor with this company. Signing up was completely free. You are not required to purchase a “starter kit”. The monthly ADR is not a requirement.
There are two primary ways to make money within the company. Yes, one way is through earning commissions off of a down line which is challenging, if not impossible, if you don’t recruit.
However an easier way to make money is by purchasing the products directly from the company at wholesale cost and selling them at retail value. This is instant money in your pocket. On day one with the company I was able to make $380 simply off of selling products at retail value.
Yes, there are many MLMs that scam individuals or are incredibly difficult to advance in but NuSkin simply is not one of those. It’s disheartening to see people are turned off by misleading information…
Vicky says
Hi Sam,
Thank you for your feedback. I have updated the review and like you state in 2017 I don’t find any requirement of a purchase when signing up.
The monthly ADR is not a requirement but according to their website it is recommended to receive additional rewards.
Selling products to retail value will require a little bit more…
For you to make $380 how much money did you invest in the products before getting the return?
Do you have some kind of retail shop or how did you get your customers?
Buying products also have a risk, you might get stuck with products that will not sell…
Also, there are requirements to earn commission with Nuskin.
According to the Nuskins Sales compensation plan, this is what it takes to receive commission and sales bonuses.
“Commissions and sales bonuses are paid only to active Distributors. See Glossary for explanation of Active Requirements, including retail sales requirements. You must have sold or consumed 80% of your inventory before your next order.”
Active Distributor active requirement:
“In order to qualify for any bonus under the Sales Compensation Plan, Distributors and Qualifying Executive Distributors must have 200 L1 volume and five Customer sales per month; Executive Distributors must have 2000 Group Sales Volume (GSV) and five Customer sales per month.“
So what does 200 L1 volume mean:
“L1 VOLUME: The wholesale point value of products purchased by (i) your Retail Customers, who purchase directly from the company, (ii) your L1 Preferred Customers, and (iii) the PSV of personally sponsored Distributors provided this sales volume is within your GSV.”
PSV – personal sales volume
GSV – group sales volume
How much do you have to sell to earn 200 L1?
Looking at the products and the “volume points” you need to sell around $200 – $350 worth of products.
So my understanding is to qualify for commission and sales bonuses you need to have at least 5 customer sales + sales to a value of around $200 – $350 each and every month.
Would this be accurate?
Leaving out information can also be misleading…
Janett says
I have been asked by several NuSkin distributers, who have given me ‘too good to be true’ information about their business and products. I have tried to do my research and found if I asked too many questions I either get ignored or deleted off their posts???
Although the company has been around a while they have a bad reputation and a lot of bad press over the years for misleading the public. The distributers give out misleading information freely and no-one (including NuSkin) seem to question it or monitor it. I don’t think NuSkin cares how their distributers advertise their products. They are happy for someone else to do this for them.
There is a lot of dishonesty around NuSkin and how they advertise themselves. If anyone asked too many questions, you are very quickly snubbed off. There are many things that don’t ring true with this company.
Kaytie says
I’m sorry but your information is totally inaccurate!!!
There is no fee to join! You are not required to buy any start up kit!!
You are not required to set up an ADR!!
You CAN cancel ADRs online!!!
To qualify for commissions the only requirement is to have 100 psv per month (personal sales volume) which is always based on the RETAIL price not the wholesale so is around £65 per month!!!
Orders are typically placed in bulk so there is no way that it can be proved if you have sold to 1 customer or 100 customers!!!
Payment for goods is typically paid directly to the distributor (including the retail profit) meaning that there is no cost to the distributor as they already have their retail profit in hand when they buy the products at wholesale cost!!!
Yes there are promotions to enable additional commissions and income but they are not requirements and are not impossible to attain!!!
Unlike other companies who offer only 10% commission in addition to a joining fee nuskin are straight up and above board and reward greatly to those who are actually willing to ‘work’ for themselves!!! Those who expect to sit at home and do nothing of course will not earn anything!!
Your information is inaccurate and deflamatory and I would suggest you actually publish factual information if you want to actually be taken seriously as at the moment it seems all the information you have posted is made up ?
Vicky says
Hi Kaytie,
Thank you for your feedback, I always enjoy hearing from dedicated MLM members. I have responded with sources below, information taken directly from NuSkin, that’s as accurate as it gets.
NuSkin has updated a few things, and I’m sorry that I did not remove the statement that there is a fee to join, it is now updated. This has been the case in the past though, there were a fee to join and there were requirements of ADR, IF you wanted to get paid.
I’m glad that they don’t have this as a requirement anymore, makes the NuSkin program more attractive for sure. Although it is recommended that you are part of the ADR program to receive additional awards.
Source: Nuskin
According to NuSkin information, you cannot cancel ADR online, it has to be done through your local call center.
Source: NuSkin
According to NuSkin themselves, these are the “active requirements” and I quote:
“DISTRIBUTOR AND QUALIFYING EXECUTIVE DISTRIBUTOR: 200 L1 VOLUME & 5 CUSTOMERS SALES PER MONTH EXECUTIVE DISTRIBUTOR: 2,000 GROUP SALES VOLUME & 5 CUSTOMERS SALES PER MONTH”
Source: NuSkin
So what would be the difference between “active requirement” and “qualification volume”?
Is it that qualification volume will allow you to earn commission, BUT if you want to earn any bonuses you need to fill the active requirement?
Just looked at the NuSkin online store at an oil package for $175 that would generate 115 points…
Source: NuSkin
I highly suggest reading these Nuskin Sources.
Steven says
Her information is mostly acturate. Nu Skin does require a minimum monthly PV of at least $100 in order to receive commissions. They did make some changes as to avoid being sactioned like Herbalife was last year but in the end Nu Skin is just another MLM scam, designed to deceive people under the ruse of offering an “opportunity” when 99.4% of all signup’s lose.
Rebecca says
To activate team commissions you need a total of 100psv (personal sales volume) this equates to roughly £80 in sales in a month you do not need to be a certain level or promotion to receive team commissions unlike other Mlm companies.
There are no requirements to receive retail commissions, in the U.K. It is instant as we pride ourselves on meeting the customers needs and not just directing them to a website.
As part of the uk team I can assure you we operate on a help distributors earn retail profit and let the business builders grow organically, obviously like all companies and business there will be rogue distributors who don’t do it that way and that can lead to people having bad experiences but again this happens everywhere!
As for very little evidence to. Back up products, our products go through various clinical studies before being put on the market
I hope this has helped
Vicky says
Hi Rebecca,
Thank you for your feedback, a lot of great points.
I have a question, what is the difference between “active requirement” and “qualification volume”?
Is it that qualification volume will allow you to earn commission, BUT if you want to earn any bonuses you need to fill the active requirement?
Just looked at the NuSkin online store here in the US, at an oil package for $175 that would generate 115 points. I’m sure that can vary between products though.
Source: NuSkin
Where do you find your customers? Is your customers family and friends? Do you do “home parties”?
Thank you!
Nat says
One more thing to note. I kept searching online to “validate” their claims on reverse DNA etc. Why wouldnt these products save lives in poorer countries by the medical teams since their products works for everyone regardless of age or gender? And why arent the governements or bigger known researchers come with valid responses that “Yes! This prpduct saves lives! We should incorporate these product to aid the healing of the ill.”
I do not know if i made any sense in my query. But my friend who is Nu Skin stands by it especially when i asked, where are the studies and results ? Instantly they will reply you are not taking it and you are a non believer etc.
I love your write up, and have been thinking along the line. I just cant find enough “evidence” from medical practitioners who endorsed these. Weird.
Vicky says
You make some very valid points here Nat, why are they not backed up by big known researchers?
That’s what drives me nuts with MLM, you are a non-believer… is that the scientific proof… well it takes a little bit more than what they present to become a believer. Sometimes I wonder what’s most important… the product or building downlines?
CJ says
Actually this isn’t just an MLM. Yes you can make money from signing people up but that’s not how people actually make their main profit. As a distributor you purchase the products, ( any amount from 1-infinity) at the distributor price, them sell those products at retail price. So you literally get a free income by signing up for free and selling products online. Most use Facebook or instagram. I know multiple people who make thousands of dollars a month as distributors with NuSkin. Without doing anything but collecting money and sending it out in the mail or delivering it to their door. And they even offer the resources to keep track of your personal spending at the post office or driving around dropping off products so you can write it off in your taxes! It’s actually the easiest and most convenient way of making money and you have to do next to nothing!
Vicky says
Thank you for your comment CJ. I wouldn’t say it’s free income… You have to be out a lot of money before you sell the products that you bought, right? What happens if you don’t sell the products, then you sit on inventory…
That’s great that people are making money but I find the statement “without doing anything but collecting money…” hard to believe. You have to build that customer base first and that takes a lot of time and effort, I would think.
It sounds like “others” are making the money, I would love to hear your own experience, please share.
KV says
It seems to me Vicky that you are very anti MLM and in special against NuSkin.
I’m a very satisfied user of NuSkin products and yes I’m a distributor, but I even don’t try to recrute other people. If people want try the products, they are welcome to do so and if they are satisfied and wantend to buy it, great I’m fine with that.
So I’m the greatest customer of my own ‘little MLM shop’ and nobody cares about that. So please stop telling false stories, especially if you do not know where you are talking about.
For those who are interested, you don’t have to invest if you wanted to start a business with NuSkin, but….if you don’t buy, you’ll never know what you sell, if you ever will.
I am the owner of three businesses, two of them (the no MLM ones) did cost me a lot of investment to get started. NuSkin is just very easy and relaxed to start with. And just like any other business, the harder you work, the more you can earn.
Vicky says
Hi KV,
Great that you have found something that you like.
When you say I tell false stories, what exactly are you referring to?
If you would like to share your “success story” with NuSkin, feel free to do so.
Vicky
KV says
Oh Vicky,
What is the reason that you’re so negative about NuSkin?
Maybe there are some distributors around who are not always as honest as they should be. But, you’ll find these people everywhere in all brands.
Your ‘false stories’ are bases on sentences like, you need to do a start investment. This is false information. Yes I bought some products for my own use and because I needed them. I don’t think the products are (too) expensive, because I was used to spend quite a lot of money. My clients never complained about the prices, because they get the best there is for their money.
The ADR is the most easiest way to get your products in time and, this is something you forgot to tell, I can change my ADR products every month. And, by the way, I’m allowed to stop my ADR 3 times a year, without losing my saved pointes.
Be negative about the real important things in life and try to turn them in something positives.
Don’t waste your time by writing negative reviews, especially if you don’t know where you talk about.
Have a great 2018 and make it a positive year!!!
Kind Regards
Karen
PS: don’t blame me for my English, because it’s not my native language.

Hi Karen,
I don’t use false stories. There are plenty of “stories” about NuSkin out there… Here are a few more from consumer affairs https://www.consumeraffairs.com/cosmetics/nu_skin.html Some are good some are not so good. I think we can agree to disagree that some people really enjoy the program some people do not.
Thank you for sharing some more information regarding the ADR system.
Schyler Wong says
I have a quick question. Are the Vitamins or Supplements really effective? And if so, do you have proof or testimonials to show for this?
Thank you!
India says
Hi
I’ve been with Nuskin for 5 months now, I’m a 20 years old student studying architecture . & I am making more than the average wage in the UK. Yes this is more than most of the distributors but what you have to remember is that more than half of the people that sign up do not understand the business model nor do they treat network marketing like a business.
So they will never really earn any money. You have to be conistant in order to earn from this it’s plain obvious.
What the facts and figures you have posted about don’t take into account is the fact that many people just want to earn an extra bit of cash on the side of their 9-5 job. And I’m order to do this they can simply make money in retail profit. Retail profit is not accounted for in ‘comission’ because hon simply order products Off the website for wholesale prices & sell it for more. The profit is Theorefore straight in your pocket.
There is absolutely NO SIGN UP FEE. So I don’t see how anyone could be ‘scammed’ by Nuskin. The only thing you could waste is your time… but it wouldn’t be a waste if you really put your energy & time into making it work.
Vicky says
Hi India,
Thank you for sharing your experience with NuSkin. I’m glad that you have found something that works for you!!
It’s great to hear from somebody that’s successful with the program!
I know programs change, is this still true or has this changed?
Commissions and sales bonuses are paid only to active Distributors.

Cyant says
Vicky, based on personal experience, the L1PV 200 is very simple to do. Nuskin is a platform that many people found attractive based on the various business models distributors can operate under, truly “Your Life, Your Business, Your Way”. I was skeptical about it at first, but I started it when my husband said to me “you got nothing to lose, but some experience and knowledge to gain at a minimum”. He was right and I gained more than just that indeed!
I believe you are in internet marketing business as well and I wish you successful in that. If you are interested in knowing more about Nuskin and finding out the details of whether some statements you read online are true or not, I would invite you to join me and explore it.
Have a great night!

I used TR90 and lost 20kg. Amazing product that change my life and the way I ate. Correct way to weight management product. WA me if you want to have clearly pic about me

Congratulations on your results!
Melanie says
For me there are many really good products on the market. What I dislike about NuSkin is what is does to their distributors. They Become defensive and competitive. One can’t be friends with them anymore as they always try to convince you to buy their products and then they even knock any other health or skim care regime that is not their product. I tried Nuskin to assis a friend that joined as a distributor. The product was very average and I subsiquently found something much better and suited to my skin. She has defriended me and has also lost many other friends as they can’t be around her anymore as the true friendship has gone out the door. She makes very little money but truly believes she is building an empire. It’s very sad as she had so much potential in her previous profession where she was earning double more. Her social media posts are all about her nuskin business and he can’t be trusted as a friend as she has turned into a business vulture.
In the meantime she is going knowhere and has nothing much to show for her so called empire. I think nuskin is a cult because I cannot believe how this ex friend has been brainwashed to believe this is where she is going to become a millionaire.
Very very sad.

Glad I’m reading this post as I’ve been thinking about joining too. I think the best way to earn money is by buying and reselling products. But where do you find your customers and what if you don’t sell the products? And before all that you need money to buy them and the products are not cheap!

Your review sounds like you don’t know the company and the products that well. I’m a user of Nuskin products and I’m relly happy about the results!
My teeth are white and healthy thanks to the whitening toothpaste.
My face skin looks younger and healthier and more important, I don’t have acne anymore ! No other products I’ve tried before did the same result.
The exemple you are giving about users are clearly taken out of context.
For example no weight loss program is miraculous ! You you think so in the first place, you won’t succeed and will gain your weight back.
You don’t have to recruit friends and family ! You can recruit if you want or you can just sell products. And when recruiting sticking to your close circle won’t help you. You better recruit the friends aof your friends and family. Or the people you would meet during networking event for people who wants to get involved in a business.
Saying otherwise is clearly a sign that you don’t know how an MLM opportunity work.
