I'm not sure what it is about Rodan and Fields but I am now fascinated. It could be because the world is changing and so is the way we do business. It could be because it's quietly empowering women (and men) to drive their 'Plan B' revenue, or it could be because I simply love their products. The problem is, the first time I saw this stuff on social media, I immediately despised it; but then I got to thinking...why?
I would like to begin with I am in NO WAY being compensated for this endorsement. I would like to continue to say that the first time I saw Rodan and Fields I thought it was ridiculous that I was being inundated with their propaganda in my personal feed, but it sure did pique my curiosity. I put my toe in and evaluated but didn't buy. I had just had twins and I was buying formula, diapers and all sorts of other random things that I hadn't quite done the math on, there was no room in my budget for skin care, specifically expensive skincare (I was a Dove girl prior to using R&F). In addition, I didn't feel like I could trust the information because it inevitably was coming from ladies who were ultimately capitalizing on my purchase...of course they thought it was awesome, they were making money selling it.... But then, 15mos postpartum I hosted a shower for a friend and my picture was taken, and I looked worn. My skin had taken a beating due to hormone level changes, getting older and overall poor care. So I did what any reasonable mom on a budget would do and I headed to SAMs and bought an economy sized pack of Oil of Olay and....it didn't work. After feeling extra worn and a little ugly one day at work I decided to take the plunge and buy a regimen. I'm so glad I did.
I immediately saw results, and almost as immediately decided not to replace my foundation. I didn't need it any more. I then went on to purchase a few other products and have loved them all. But I totally understand that most women don't want to jump right into a fairly expensive regimen without some proof. Hence why I'm writing this. A few things before we get started: 1. You do not have to set your orders on auto-replenish. If this is a concern of yours ask your R&F consultant how to get around it. 2. You may spend more on skin care but you will no longer invest in traditional foundation and you will look great! (I still use a loose powder - R&F Mineral Peptides but I no longer need a cream foundation or cover up and my clothes aren't stained from pulling them over my head at the end of the day.) 3.) You don't have to order a full regimen in order to see results. It is ideal and you may be so impressed with the outcome of your order that want to indulge further...but out of the gate it's not necessary. If I were a beginner that was hesitant to make an investment in a regimen, I would absolutely start with the Micro-Dermabrasion paste. It's packed with vitamin E, vitamin C and a sugar and salt blend for incredible exfoliation. It can be used alone or paired with other products to target specific skin concerns. I use it once or twice a week to simply keep my face looking fresh and dead-skin free! (A tub lasts a LONG time!)
Many of the gals I talk to begin with eye cream. Don't. If you are still caking on the foundation the impact of the eye cream will be wasted. The eye cream is a GREAT addition after you find yourself comfortable to have a naked face daily (which will happen after the regular use of a regimen). The paste is reasonable, provides immediate results, only requires application several times a week.
So there it is, the missing component from the R&F equation; An unbiased recommendation. I don't sell it, I won't profit if you buy it, I just love it. My skin has never looked better and been easier. I also love the fact that I am spending my money supporting a momtreprenuer. If you don't know a consultant, message me and I will be happy to provide you with a contact. If you know one and you haven't tried the products give it a try - they really will give you your money back if you don't like it. If you DO use R&F please share your favorite product with us by leaving a comment!

I loved your unbiased review if our products. You will resonate with many potential customers. I too felt the same way before I began using the products then I became a believer and can see why using R+F is totally worth it. I loved it so much that I became a consultant. I like most of the other consultants truly just want people to try it. With the 60 day empty bottle guarantee they have nothing to lose. Yes, we want you to buy it because we know it will make you feel great about yourself. I'm all about improving self confidence of women and women helping women in business. Now that I read your blog, I look forward to more inciteful articles. Thank you.

I discovered Rodan + Fields two years ago when I was still having breakouts in my 40s. A friend had suggested it while sitting on the beach. That night as I was scrolling thru Facebook low and behold my cousin announced her business. I sent her a message and said send me UNBLEMISH. Within 30 days, the results were very evident. So I too took the leap and became a consultant. Thank you for your impartial review of the products. Our doctors know skin and have created an arsenal of must haves. My three must have products - eye cream, mineral peptides powder and the microdermabrasion paste.

My best friend Dr. Kathy Fields introduced me to Rodan + Fields products in 2005 when they were then owned by Estee Lauder and sold and find apartment stores across the country. She then invited me to become one of the very first consultants and I launch the Chicago market in 2007. What an amazing ride it's been and I absolutely love my products and so does my family. Everybody loves these because they perform. The best part is helping others achieve beautiful skin and accomplish things in their own business that they never thought they could. It's an amazing life!

This is a great article. I will be 70 in a year and have dealt with dry skin and blotchy areas. I was using lots of different make up to cover up. Since using R & F I now am very happy to put on some eye shadow, mascara , and once in a while some lipstick. My skin is even toned, wrinkles are far less apparent and the skin always looks fresh. I know I look better and I love the compliments I get.

My daughter's best friend tried to convince me to try R+F for three years. She was never pushy, just said she thought it was something I might really like. I assured her I was quite comfortable and happy with my Obagi system. One day it occurred to me that while I was comfortable, I hadn't been happy with my skin for awhile. I have been using the Reverse system with the accelerator pack for about two months and I just love everything about it! I think, if I had to pick, the macro dermabrashion tool is my current fav. Just wish I would have started a long time ago!

Thanks for your unbiased review. It is great to hear your skepticism turned true believer. I am a user of all the products (favorites would be mineral peptide powder, especially in the summer, the microdermabrasion paste and Reverse regimen) and a consultant. It was all too good to pass up at the discount provided to consultants and it feels so good to pass these products on to others. By far the best part of being a consultant, helping others. The money and perks are amazing but making women and men comfortable in their own skin is a gift you cannot but a price tag on, thanks again for spreading the RF love!!

I'm foundation AND powder free for the first time in my life!

First off, I am a consultant, but also a firm believer in the R&F brand of products. Hard not to be when you see the results yourself, & others comment and compliment constantly! This was a great short & concise post shooting straight about the reason people are hesitant and why they shouldn't be. But mostly I love all the customers (not consultants) who have replied. One of my daughters wanted to read those kinds of comments and you sure have them here. Thanks again & glad you love us too!

I don't have much money..I have been criticized for spending what I have on R & F. It's important to my overall well-being to have great skin and R & F has done that for me! I started with Reverse and my skin has never looked better. I was using products from the cosmetic counter at a high end department store but I could tell they weren't doing the trick. The difference in my skin from 2 months ago is astonishing! The compliments I get are proof...I had to convince a new aquaintance that I was really 12 years older than her. Talk about being on cloud nine after that discussion! I just started Redefine and I know I will love it just as I did with the Reverse regimen.

I had an appointment with my dermatologist and they suggested I start botox treatments for preventative measures. I was mortified. I shared this news with a friend who offered to talk about the R + F product line. I was hesitant at first. My skin is very sensitive. Any time I introduce a new product a rash forms. Brooke suggested we start with soothe. After two orders she then thought I was ready for redefine. I have been using it for 2 weeks and my skin has never felt better. I also use the paste and eye cream. So happy I confided in a friend.
