Re: Rodan and Fields: Who's Using, and is it Worth It?

Another vote for Paula's Choice. I have been using it for almost 20 years and don't know what I would do without the BHA 2% to help with my acne.

Re: Rodan and Fields: Who's Using, and is it Worth It?

Several friends sell it and I was guilted into buying a vitaminc/retinol duo.  Did nothing for my skin, although it didn't break me out and it felt nice sinking in. But I didn't notice any other positives. To be honest I think R&F is more of a pyramid scheme than an actual product-driven company.

Re: Rodan and Fields: Who's Using, and is it Worth It?

I tried the eye cream and was not impressed, especially since it was so expensive.  I did finish jar, but person I bought from kept hounding me to try other products.  When I told her I wasn't impressed, she was a little insulted.  Oh well!  I told her I guess the results I was hoping for would only be achieved by eye surgery.  Haven't heard from her since...

Lots of reviews for R and F on Amazon, read them.

Re: Rodan and Fields: Who's Using, and is it Worth It?

When my daughter-in-law began selling R&F, I bought it.  I will not reorder.  I have good skin for a 69 year old and I believe it is due to genetics--my mother had nice skin.  Also I have always taken care of my skin so when my daughter-in-law asked what I thought of R&F I told her it was  fine.  She said she noticed a big difference in her skin because she never took care of it on a regular basis.  The R&F cleanser/mask  is extremely drying.  The toner and day and night cream are nice, but nothing special.  Of course, I have never found that any skincare that is special but that is me.

Re: Rodan and Fields: Who's Using, and is it Worth It?

I watched someone on YouTube who was having success with the dermarolling or microneedling but it was an expensive kit. I bought a derema roller on amazon and started using it in September. I always introduce everyting that is touted to have results on half my face. That, for me, is the truest way to see results. I see real results with the derma rolling, particularly on my neck and my nose to mouth line. I have used prescription Retin A for decades as well  great skin care and SPF.  I'm happy with my skin for my age. I do get fillers and botox as well to make things even better. 

 

I will now also continue to always do dermarolling. I will still need fillers in my mouth to line but if I could not afford it, this dermaroller has done more for me than any topical. 

 

The Retina A, SPF and all the peptides have done a great job I'm sure. Can't imagine what my face would be looking like without them.  Now I have one more trick in my magic bag especially for my neck. Ultherapy which is outstanding for tightening the neck runs about $2500-$3000 in the Chicago area.  I can get a lower face lift for about $4000. I'd rather do that which lasts years and years whereas Ultherapy lasts about a year.  Until then, Dermaroller it is! Half my nek has the full gobble, half my neck is at 50% gobble. In the right light that casts a shadow, it really shows.

 

My nose to mouth line is definitely less deep than the other side. This week I started using full face dermarolling as I am now 100% convinced it works. I'm 5 months in.

Re: Rodan and Fields: Who's Using, and is it Worth It?

I've not tried the products therefore I cannot comment on them.  However, I do know, via a friend and sales consultant for R & F, the reason so many women are selling these products is to get their own products at a discounted price.  To be a consultant, there is no requirement on number of products that must be sold.  The bonus of being consultant is the discount.  Undoubtedly, there are many women who have tried this product, like it and will purchase it from consultants at luncheons or coffees or parties, if you will.  I'm certain there are many consultants who do quite well in their business and are selling for the income it generates.

My daughter was approached by a friend of hers, who is a consultant  for R &F. 

Her firend asked her if she would be willing to host a gathering of women to learn more about R & F.  My daughter promptly refused telling her she was not a fan of pressure sales of that sort.  She did tell her friend that she was interested and if she could get samples, she would try the product for a few weeks.  After those few weeks, she decided the products worked really well for her.  She did some research on R & F, their products and sales oppourtunities and realized how much she could save if she became a consultant.  She signed up, is buying her own products at a discounted rate and hasn't approached a single person asking them to host, buy..nothing.  Not even me!

Re: Rodan and Fields: Who's Using, and is it Worth It?

So you're in your 30s and want to get rid of little bumps on your face and large pores? I'd recommend a formula with salacylic acid aka beta hydroxy acid. And then repair your lipid barrier with a moisturizer with ceramides in it. Also cleanse well and don't over exfoliate. You could probably find what you need in the CeraVe line.

 

Brand doesn't matter, formulation and ingredients do.

Re: Rodan and Fields: Who's Using, and is it Worth It?

I know this is an older post, but I just purchased the Rodan and Fields Reverse Regimen.  I was at a wedding this weekend and several friends were using it (not selling it) with great results.  It is crazy expensive, but I have lots of sun damage and I'm giving it a try.  There is a 60 day money back guarantee...so that helps.

Re: Rodan and Fields: Who's Using, and is it Worth It?

My friend and I both recently tried this.  She absolutely loves it and her face looks fabulous; mine broke out and just wasn't clearing up so I returned it and was refunded my money without any problem.  So you know, for some it's great; others not....but they honor the money back, no questions asked.  So if you're really curious, I'd say go for it!  I should add that we are both over 55.
