Is Rodan and Fields over?

[Anonymous]

The beauty counter chick on my TL drives me nuts. One friend started selling oils. The same friend also became a yoga instructor to have a real job too.

I don’t really need the whole regimen and I keep buying mostly just the moisturizer. But it costs a FORTUNE! Literally more in one month than I would usually pay on skin stuff in a year.

Can anyone recommend something similar to R+F Soothe that would work for really really sensitive skin? Ideally fragrance free and not costing four digits for a year’s supply? I wear NO makeup and really only need moisturizer and sunscreen. I would love to stop buying R+F!

Me too. I've had luck with my kid's eczema cream - CeraVe, eucerin, and Cetaphil.

And she's here, folks! Been waiting for you!

But she forgot to add the "it breaks my heart" phrase in the above screed. Honestly, every friend I've had that was taken in by one of these MLMs changed personalities while they were plugging their sales, almost glassy-eyed, with a perma smile. When they stopped selling, it was like a switch was turned off and they came back to reality.

Well it Does break my heart! We should be supporting other women who are working hard to provide for their families. Just because you don’t like your job and are jealous of their lifestyle, that’s no reason to hate on them!

You are trolling. you are pretending to be defending MLM. Not ok.

Just as FYI, you don't own it. If you're forbidden to open a store to sell your products, are told by your upline how to word posts and what to sell, and your company has an actual CEO, then you don't "own" anything. Drs. Rodan and Fields do.

You think independent contractors have CEOs? You think small businesses have CEOs?

Get an education before you post.

LMAO. Am referring to HunBots actual posts, about how they are "CEOs" and "Own their own business". They own nothing, the majority of MLMs don't even allow them to pass their pyramids down to their kids. But nice, take a cheap shot at me.

Most businesses are not passed down to kids. That does not mean they are not a business. You don't understand business, you only understand "jobs". You don't get how it works.

Can you sell your "small business" then? ALL small business owners are able to either sell their business or pass it down.

Gosh, I do need an education. And educate others too! I'm about to stroll into the owner/CEO's office at the small firm where I currently work and tell him that a) he doesn't exist, and b) his firm cannot be passed down to his kids or sold.

Most small businesses function on a small margin and when they retire there is very little to "sell". Is a small plumbing company gonna sell his tools? What planet do you live on.

But if they wanted to sell a working business to someone prior to retirement, they could. And yeah, upon retirement they could sell their tools, their work van, their wet vacs, etc. You can't. Because you don't own anything. You can't even legally resell the merchandise at a big discount.

they could sell them all their product samples and introduce them to their regular client base.

Pretty sure they're not allowed to sell any of that stuff, and definitely not at a discount. There are secret "illegal" FB groups where you can get deeply discounted MLM merchandise - it's people trying to get out and get rid of their merchandise without the company finding out. My friend who swears by the R&F eyelash stuff is in several of those groups.

Please share. I would like to report them.

I wish it were done. I still have friends posting stuff daily. I don't want to unfollow them but at the same time, I don't give two shits about your eye creams. I just want to see pictures of you and your family doing things.

I love their products and buying stuff from my friends. I’d rather give them money then some trump supporter owned business

The Clinique moisturizer excellent!

Go into any big department store and get the one for sensitive skin.

I had never heard of Plexus but just figured out that one of the women in my neighborhood is in their top 10 sellers group. That explains so much about the neighborhood Facebook group traffic.

But late at night I am tempted to buy the pink drink- it is the new infomercial...

I see the coffee on my feed too — “magic coffee” — with no information and “DM me!”. My friends in the Midwest are starting to become “The FASTer way” coaches, I haven’t seen anything from local friends. So maybe that MLM is striking the Midwest first with their IF coaching or it is just a coincidence?


Less R&F but more EVER.

In Cali and I have seen happy coffee. Was trying to figure out what it was without having to ask so I don’t get the pitch.

My DH does graphic design and is an idependent cotractor. You know what he doesn't do? Try to sell graphic design to all of our friends and family.
He also sets his own price points, marketing techniques/tools and works for a variey of companies needing his specific skillset.

What skills do you have selling lotions?

This business takes advantage of women who don’t understand how business works. It’s really pathetic. Because then they market it as uplifting women.

My favorite is when someone switches from one product to another. Guys it’s not like my other business is going under! *yes it is But wow look at this one! * Uses exact same “sales” language.

Half hilarious and half pathetic.

My friend who has thus far shilled: Jamberry, R&F, LLR and countless others I’ve forgotten has now moved to Ruby Ribbon, some sort of undergarments?

[Anonymous]

I don't know. I blocked everyone who sells it.

[Anonymous]

I can't and will not to be friends with MLMers. I've already blocked and or marked as spam all those stupid invitations.

One supposed friend was so taken aback that she hasn't spoken to me in a year. Oh well.

I don't want to buy jewelry, sex toys, melted wax fragrances, dip mixes, cosmetics, home decor, plastic food storage, vitamins, oils, fabric bags, clothing from a faux friend under the auspices of a fun girl's night out in someone's house. Nope.

One of my friends texted me today upset that her supervisor is trying to shill Plexius to her and the rest of their team. They are all in education and this woman should know better. My mom is a nurse and has heard similar stories. I wish companies would crack down on this kind of thing.

That’s just mean. As a friend, you should be receptive and be willing to purchase things from your friend and help her
