Spotlight on Rodan + Fields: Should you invest?

RFDP

Ever heard of Proactive? America’s #1 acne brand promoted by celebrities like Adam Levine, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Olivia Munn, Julianne Hough and more? You probably have. But what you might not know is that the founders, Dr. Katie Rodan + Dr. Kathy Fields, also have another skincare line that covers more than just acne prevention. Rodan + Fields skin care line was developed in 2002 and sold strictly at luxury department stores. Hoping to establish a broader consumer reach, the company switched over to direct selling and now employs almost 100,000 consultants all over the country. An article released in Fortune this past May stated that R+F sales reached more than $320,000 million (with its top sellers earning more than 6 figures annually). Not too shabby.

So the big question is, does this line work? Is it worth trying out? Let’s ask my friend and R+F consultant Caitlyn Pullins (who has been working with R+F for less than a year and is hooked!) She was nice enough to send me a few samples of the products including the REDEFINE Lip Renewing Serum, the Daily Cleanser and the Night Renewing Serum. While it was hard for me to judge the long term effectiveness of the facial products, I can tell you they smelled wonderful and left my skin feeling very smooth. The Lip Serum was fantastic and would be a PERFECT product to have on hand especially during blustery winter months. It moisturized and instantly hydrated my lips and left them feeling amazingly soft.

How long have you been working with R+F?
I started working with Rodan+Fields back in June 2015, so about 8 months.
What made you decide to become a consultant?
I was looking for a way to be happy again since my job (at the time) was really bringing me down. I love helping others, and I felt that through R+F, I could really help others improve their confidence through the use of the products. I developed dark marks and dullness with both pregnancies, and my confidence was teetering after I realized how much my skin had changed. The Reverse regimen restored my skin from pre-pregnancy so I knew it would help so many others just like it had for me.
What is your favorite R+F product and why?
Such a tough question! I have a few favorites, but I love our multi-function eye cream! I remember I skipped it the night you and I went out for dinner and drinks with the guys (and my babies). Woke up the next morning with puffy eyes and bags! I put some of the eye cream on, and within an hour, my eyes were back to normal. Seriously a miracle cream.
What would you suggest someone try who is new to the R+F line?
It really depends on what they’re looking for. We have small mini regimens for blackheads, chapped lips, and eyes all the way to full regimens for dark marks, fine lines and wrinkles, adult cystic acne, and sensitivity issues. To get a really good idea of the product line, starting with a mini facial is a great way to experience the quality, but I would definitely start with the eye cream and eye cloths. They go together like peanut butter and jelly!
What makes R+F different from other high end skincare lines?
We are a dermatology-based company where our founders (Dr. Rodan and Dr. Fields) are still practicing dermatologists in the San Francisco area. All of the products are 1 step below prescription grade so it’s almost just as good as going to the dermatologist without having to set foot in the office! The products are all based on Multi-med therapy which means that the products contain the right ingredients with the right formulations delivered in the right order used in the right way — that’s how you get results. We also have a 60 day empty bottle money back guarantee because we firmly stand behind our products or you get your money back. Other companies offer a 30 day money back, but you don’t really get a good idea how well a product is working in just 30 days. Our products get real results from real people, and the products really do work.
What is the best way for someone to purchase a product directly from you?
You can find me on Facebook (Caitlyn Pullins) or visit my website at www.caitlynpullins.myrandf.com. Contact me for prices because everything listed online is higher than what I can offer!
