Many (many!) of the reviews on this page are not at all relating to Nu Skin, they are referring to SkinNu (a scam company). Nu Skin does not offer trial periods, they do not steal money, they do not send unnecessary products, and they do not send packages without contact information or packing slips. They are a legitimate company with wonderful and effective products. Every experience is highly positive and they have live customer service agents willing to help in almost any unsatisfactory situation. Always, always do your research before deciding to send money to an ad/endorsement on a television.

I have had great results with each and every product, made a great amount of income with the business opportunity, and helped thousands of others do so as well. FOR FREE. Best products, best opportunity and best lifestyle choice anyone could make.

As a customer and distributor of Nu Skin products I can tell you that the negative reviews describing 14 day trials and hidden charges are not talking about Nu Skin. There seems to be a scam that people are unfortunately falling victim to. Nu Skin is an amazing company that sells equally amazing products! I started off using the whitening toothpaste and then wound up distributing as well, because I believe in the product that much.
Don't let these reviews that were falsely categorized under Nu Skin hinder your opinion of them. There are NEVER any recurring charges and Nu Skin doesn't offer trial periods for anything. Furthermore, the products they describe are not products sold by Nu Skin. Nu Skin is very careful to always be completely honest with their customers and distributors. I LOVE working with this company and I LOVE the products they sell. Don't believe everything you read without doing your research first!

Clearly people are confused on the products. I mean Christie Brinkley was the spokesperson for it, until she decided to branch into her "own" skincare line. These products will amaze anyone and make your skin soft and smooth and new feeling.

I just figured out what's going on here. Some people got scammed not by Nuskin but by Skin Nu from china. Just like a few years ago when I thought I got cheap iPhone, it was fake. The bite on the apple was on the wrong side. Now people are getting confused by similar thing but this time w/ Nuskin. I had stage 4A oral cancer that cause me to lose my tongue and I made it through all the challenges of chemotherapy and radiotherapy on Nuskin multiple supplement lines and celltrex CoQ10.
I still got pictures of my "crispy" neck (the part that was taped up) and my face and chin that was completely protected by celltrex CoQ10, enhancer and TriPhasic white day lotion. If I had listened to my oncologist, my face would be as black and crispy as my neck that was taped up. So watch out people for those Chinese imitators. They make everything look almost exactly the same except for when you compare it to the real deal, you can see the slight difference in packaging. If it's imitation, you can be sure that it's crappy products.

Anyone who knows absolutely anything about NuSkin will realize that several of these reviewers clearly have NuSkin confused with something else. Look at all of the reviews that say the same thing. If you don't believe me, go to the NuSkin website and try to find these products that were supposedly on Shark Tank. They won't be there. I am a former home distributor for the company, but now I am just a customer and only use the products. I've been a customer for five years. This company operates through distributors, and I've never known them to charge for a free sample if they even have a free sample. Then it wouldn't be free would it? Plus, many of their products, if ordered and used according to their guidelines, come with a money-back guarantee.
Just look at my before and after pictures from using the galvanic spa and a few lotions for just 2 1/2 months 2 to 3 times a week. I totally look like I had a facelift. I just think it's unfortunate that people are so uneducated that they can't even get the name of a company right. There are several companies with names that are similar. I would just say if you are reading this, please meet with the distributor or go through the website thoroughly, because clueless people are damaging the reputation of this company. All I know is that my experience with these products has been nothing short of amazing, and I've used them for over five years. They typically bend over backward at customer service to fix any errors, or accommodate unhappy customers. It pains me to see a company's reputation tarnished by uneducated people.

You have 30-90 days money back guaranteed with 100% cash back also 1 year refund of unopen products with 90 cash back. You need to call Nu Skin 1-800-487-1000. There are a lot of fake products said with NU SKIN name on it that why you guys buy at the wrong places or wrong person. If you need help contact me anytime.

As a consumer of these products I'm at a loss as to these negative reviews. Many of them don't even make sense talking about things I have never seen the company do. E.g. Free Trial??? They do however offer a 60 and 90 day money back guarantee of which I've never had to use because the products work. My experience has been nothing but positive, their products are amazing and the best that I've ever used. The company and staff are always helpful when I have questions. I also love their rewards program because I get to save up points to purchase products with them. It's the best subscription I've ever had because of its flexibility and rewards.

I was a reluctant started with the Nu Skin products. Because my skin had always been so allergic I did not have a skin care regimen. I used the Galvanic Spa twice weekly and Elements skin care system day and night and within 6 weeks people were accusing me of having a face lift. Absolutely incredible results. My skin is now dewy soft and wrinkle free. My double chin has all but disappeared and I have heaps more confidence. LOVE LOVE LOVE Nu Skin. Definitely recommend it to anyone with skin issues and 100% guaranteed by the company.

The Nu Skin Clear Action range for acne is amazing. Within two days of using this product, I noticed an improvement in my skin. Having been a cystic acne sufferer all my adult life, and I'm 51 now, I have tried everything, including Roaccutane, dermabrasion, the pill and I've even had cartilage taken from behind my ears to fill in my acne scars/pitting. Having used the Nu Skin products for 9 months, I am sold on their products. I also take Y-Span, which helps you age younger, from the inside, as well as using the Galvanic Spa, which has dramatically changed the surface of my skin. My skin is glowing now and it is so smooth. It's lovely when total strangers comment about my lovely skin, knowing what I have been through! No more acne spots for me. Thank you Nu Skin!

I'm having trouble understanding all the negative reviews on this site. It appears that a number of people were not introduced to the products properly, or shown how to use them correctly. My experience is completely different - having had an in-home demonstration of the Galvanic Spa and the ageLOC skin care, I could immediately experience an improvement in my skin tone and texture. I could ask as many questions as I liked from my helpful distributor, who recommended these and some internal products for my particular health and aging concerns.
Although I have only been using the products for three months, the difference in my skin and overall well-being is noticeable, not only to myself, but to friends and acquaintances who have remarked on my "glow" and vitality. I am impressed by the science behind these products and the ethics of the company as a whole. Their Nourish the Children program is exemplary and we would be living in a much kinder world if all large companies made a similar commitment to assist the less fortunate. I cannot recommend the products highly enough for anyone looking to age young and stay vital.

I just want people who come here to review the bad Nu Skin ratings to know that the products they're talking about are NOT Nu Skin. Nu Skin does NOT have 15 day trials of ANYTHING at all and if they were these people would be sent a product return # and form and money put back in bank. I've been with the company over 5 years and not once ever heard of anything like this for me or my hundreds of customers! They would never charge without permission and before you get off the phone you are given a reference # and also an email so you can give customer feedback if you choose. Do NOT believe the people who are writing these complaints. There is no 15 day trial of anything!

Yes, that's right. It is not charity, it is something that makes money. The scam part? Yes, I do not like that they charge when you did not order the full product. That's not a good way to sell products. So they had a problem with the way they sell. As for the products? I've been using R2 for one year now. My fungus on my toe is completely gone. Yup. I had medications taken, cream used, all useless. Now I'm treating my vaginal infection after my antibiotic treatment. It's helping me to take out the toxins (antibiotic) in my body. (I sweated for three days.) Also taking LifePak plus the probiotics. Without Nu Skin, I don't know what I'd do. I am not part of this business, but those who have succeeded, or the friend who helped me this far, I truly see a positive vibe from them. "Black or white, your pick. Any comment is a judgment, and only God can judge us."

I started taking Nu Skin's anti aging supplement Vitality 4 years ago, then using the Galvanic Spa. This led to trying many other products, and I have been so pleased with every single one, from toothpaste to nutritional supplements. Vitality has given me my life back, and I am looking forward to trying Youth next month. I love the automatic delivery rewards program - I can change the content every month if I want, and I get points to spend on other products, so I can try a lot of their 300+ products for free. (The newest products, like the essential oils, can't be purchased with points yet.)
I am confused to hear of a sample offer, as Nu Skin does not offer samples. I imagine this is the effort of an unscrupulous distributor. Over 60% of Nu Skin users are simply product users. Yes, it is a MLM, but there's nothing wrong with that. I started selling recently, and have had nothing but good experiences. I suspect that most if not all of the complaints come from people dealing with unethical distributors, because I don't even recognize the company they're describing.
Nu Skin has a 30 day return policy with 100% money back. If the product doesn't work, or even if you just don't like it - no problem! And yes, I have had 2 customers use this with no trouble. Additionally, distributors can return unopened product for a full year for a 90% cash refund. As far as I know, they are also the only MLM that requires NO money to start - you do not have to buy a business builder package or anything else. Well, you do need to buy a $25 business builder guide, but that is free if you place a small order- I think $25?, and it is full of information you need. They are working on becoming the MLM company that pays the best, and I have been very pleased. Additionally, the people I've met through this have been wonderful. It's too bad, but it sounds like there are some unethical sellers out there giving a black eye to this very reputable company.

I loved Nu Skin products. I don't get how can it get these negative comments. All the products I tried worked terrific for me, my fiance and my mom. Galvanic Spa for all face and the ironing thing is awesome. For me being 26, I got rid of all black spots and blemishes. My mom stopped doing Botox after starting using machine plus serum... My fiance ironed his wrinkles and it does work. I would recommend it to all my friends... Was googling more about the Nu Skin hair care and came across the negative comments, thought I should write good one... Cause it is honestly worth every dollar spent! I'm a user, not distributor...

So I was reading the comments of everyone. My biggest advice is to buy from distributor, we are trained to work with this company. If you are regular client, avoid ADR!! You don't need it! I know it's cheaper and it is hard to cancel it because they want to make money as everyone else in the world. Well our head office is in Europe so they are very nice and helpful.
It must be a joke for people to believe that the spa going to get rid of all the wrinkles - not even single product works like that, only a plastic operation that will cost you 5 times more! The products are effective. I use whitening tooth paste and it work, of course I don't have snow white teeth because I would need to spend 500 euro on dental whitening in the dentist and I would end up with sensitive teeth. I am heavy smoker, wine lover and I have bile reflux so my teeth are always getting dull but this tooth paste returns it to my natural bone color and I'm happy. My advice would be Stay away from ADR, DO NOT PRESS "Add to ADR CART ". Order from Distributor! Or ask her ID and order online with her help. This company is getting bad reviews only because 1. We don't know how to use it. 2. We over expect the result that would cost 5times more! Go to Avon then!

I had been a customer to use Nu Skin products for more than 20 years already. By reading the review, so many people complained about ADR program, I am very surprised how is a good program to somebody but turn out to be a bad stuff to accuse the company!! The ADR program can allow you to have 20 to 30% as incentive points. I was very happy when I got so many free products by using the points. And the ADR program can allow you to overwrite the contents as long as you can call in advance before the shipping date. So, if you think you are the victim of this program, please carefully read through the policy.
I also caught one complaint incidence that was totally wrong accuse. The accuser complained the Youth package was not working. I would like to ask where did she buy it. Nu Skin did not sell it in public yet. The Youth package will be pre-launched on Nov. 12 but the lady complained it in August. I believe some of distributors might have immature business practice which is normal like many new employees often have mistake to serve people. Nu Skin did have fast growing in the past years. Many new distributors need to quickly catch up to meet customer needs. Please allow them to be mature. Thanks for your patience and consideration!

I have started using the TR90 after I gave birth. I took the ingredients fact to my doctor because I was breastfeeding and she said it was all good. I lost 25 lbs with only a 30 days program. Didn't do exercise, didn't change my diet. No sacrifice. I liked better the chocolate flavor. I love it because I used to be very bad with diets. Now I weigh less than when I was in my 25s. Jeans are big.
Then I start using more products. Vitality keep me up all day with a year old daughter. Facial Spa nourish my skin like nothing before and the true face pearls firm the skin with only using it twice a week. I also love the hair mask conditioning, use once a week and hair looks healthy and smooth all week. Beside the products, I love the company and its values. They promote happiness and dreams.
For all those who don't understand network marketing, I invite them to Nu Skin conventions. You will find a better way of living. No just money. For those who see a pyramid scam, I invite them to see the compensation plan and the amazing science behind these great products and company. Search for the report in Discovery Channel as ageLOC science. Many people had no idea what they are writing. This company changed many people lives for good. Search also Nourish the Children. Which is one way of how Nu Skin contributes to society. Don't let haters who fail to themselves tell you what you should do or believe.

The Nu Skin website is not consumer nor distributor friendly. It gives the false impression about adr and it is made this way that customers fall into trap without being able to correct. Customer service is very polite but useless. They will tell you that they'll take care of the problem but actually they don't. Consequently, I have to pay more.

I don't know why everyone is complaining about NU SKIN. I have been doing business with them for over 20 years and I have never ever had any problems getting my product automatically or ordering product one time. If they ever make a mistake they gladly correct it with no questions asked. Nu SKIN cannot be held liable for what their "representatives say" but I have used all their products and have been completely satisfied and if I was not satisfied I will not buy the product. Yes they sell their product like Mary Kay, Herbalife, Amway, and Avon. Direct selling. I am a customer of the product and I get a discount for signing up as a distributor. I don't call all my friends and sign them up unless they want the product. Then I can sign them up as a customer. This company has great products and I love how they research everything they sell.

Purchased several products and each delivered what was promised. My experience was ranging from Transform in 90 days (TR90 weight management) which, following the directions closely, reset my metabolism; to the Face Spa - an FDA classified medical device used in conjunction with their Ageloc products, has changed my skin texture, pore size, reduced lines, unified my skin color, and quite frankly the benefits compound over time, helping me look younger; to the Ageloc Vitality, which re-sets daily my energy, athletic performance and mental acuity. Any questions or concerns have been handled in a very professional manner through their customer service department and they were more than fair when I wanted to return something that I didn't mean to order.

I have bought many products from Nu Skin and for me I have had great results. The Automatic resupply program (ADR) is great for several reasons. 1) They notify you in advance and you can cancel your ADR or change it each month. 2) Meeting certain requirements (I think buy $50 per month) you add up points too. I have redeemed my points for several products. 3) But my favorite is you can change the products each month to fit your needs. I know many other companies do not allow this. I enjoy the AgeLoc products, Phamanex supplements, the Essential Oils and I am very happy and satisfied with my results.

AgeLOC is by far the BEST skin product I have ever used! I started using it about two years ago and my skin felt softer overnight. Within several days my acne began to clear up. I get so many compliments on my skin and people assume on a regular basis that I'm about ten years younger than I actually am. AgeLOC works! Thank you Nu Skin!

I can't understand all the complaints about Nu Skin. This is unreal. My mom, nephew and I have been using Nu Skin products on our face and bodies since 1985. That's 30 years. We have had nothing but marvelous results. I am 67 and no one believes it. All people guess I am in my mid 40's. My mom is 96 and looks in her mid 70's. My nephew is 56 and looks in his early 40's. We have never, ever in the 30 years had an issue with this company. They have always backed up their product. I have returned half used items for a complete credit. I can only say that all these complaints had to be distributor fault. Greedy, selfish, uncaring people. I say "Nu Skin all the way." I wish I could download a picture of my mom and me on here and you will see what I mean. Those distributors had to be ripping these people off. Not the company. I never ever have problems getting through to them. And that's 30 years experience.

I bought the spa kit and Science of Youth package in August. Fast shipping. I loved the product but yesterday I received an email from the company saying they were shipping me the very same products AGAIN in 5 days. Needless to say I was stunned and MAD. Why would I want another kit when I had one... to the tune of $425.00 less their discount. I immediately phoned the number at the bottom of the email and was told I would receive these 2 items every month. WHAT!!?? They then said I had signed up for this... NOT! I luckily got to cancel any future orders and was given a cancellation confirmation number.
Just imagine I would end up with 12 spa kits in a year. What am I supposed to do with them? Sell them? After reading customer reviews about returns, I found out you get 90% return in store credits. WOW! I then called the lady who demonstrated this product line. She called the company too. I had NOT signed up for this automatic delivery rewards. I received a cancellation letter from Nu Skin confirming this and stating any benefits (discounts). Thank goodness Nu Skin emailed me that they were shipping 5 days before my credit card was billed. BEWARE and make sure you do not sign up for auto delivery renewal. I will in future ONLY order through the lady who introduced me to this line.

I was really anxious about trying Nu Skin. It obviously it isn't in the shops and you're taking people's word. However I had nothing to lose. I had read up on the products beforehand and doctors had given me many treatments/antibiotics before to treat my skin and nothing had worked. I spoke with a lovely distributor who talked me through all of the different types of product. I discussed my skin type and she told me to buy the ageLOC range! (This stuff apparently beat the APPLE IPAD! For most innovative product) So kinda sold it to me there and then.
It arrived. I didn't use for a while as I was still sceptical. I tried for the first time and really didn't expect it to have any reaction well... Oh my god! My skin felt like silk and it cleared up within 3 weeks!!! Yes I had a breakout to begin with but the breakout was probably all the crap coming out of my skin. Now I have crystal clear skin! It's changed my life, my confidence and I'm so happy! I'VE read some of these reviews and I don't agree with a lot of them. Would you buy products without doing your homework? No. You shouldn't just take someone's word. But seriously please try these products. They are amazing! Thank you NuSkin. Unfortunately people won't always post the positive. They only remember to post the negative but please take this review on board. It's amazing.

I bought Nu Skin - the TR 90 Package green shake through an independent distributor for $460. I paid her $50 Cash and the rest 410 of my visa card. (This product is for losing weight.) The woman lied to me; she said the package was good for 3 months and that if I was not happy with the product I could return it. I bought the product on 24th July 2015. When I got home my boyfriend looked at the product. He said I didn't have enough products for 3 months so I phoned the distributor the same day - she didn't call me back. The following morning I took one serving of a shake, one tablet of tr90 jumpstart, tr90 control.
I phoned the distributor again the following morning to be clear of what I was given, she answered the phone and told me that the product she sold me was for one month and if I want three months supply I have pay another $460 every month for 3 months. I told woman that she told me that the product was good for three months then said it was a communication problem, she asked me to go to her office that day July 25. She said since it was a communication problem she was going to call her company to make exception. When she called her company I was present. The customer represent that she spoke to told her that I can't return the product because it was open, she asked to speak to the manager make exception. The manager told it was her duties to explain things correctly to the client, she told call her manager.
The Same July 25 she told me to leave the products with her and go back to see her on Monday which was July 27, 2015. When I got there the customer service that she spoke to said it not their problem that she didn't explain the rules properly. The only thing they can give me is a voucher of $100. I said I don't want the voucher. $460 was too much for me to pay for one supply - I wanted the money back. She said English was her second language; she has never had problems in the past. Most people buy only for one month because three months is too expensive. I told the woman I wanted my money back. Then she offered me another product - I declined. I left the product with her. I called my visa dispute section to collect the money for me. My visa company said they will file a dispute but after 15 days and advised me to report the case to the Better Business Bureau.

I'm so glad someone introduced me to this brand! As a professional who works in health and wellness I was always looking for a brand to recommend, mainly on the supreme tatie side. I had tried many famous brands out there but was not that impressed with any of them. I actually started telling clients to stop taking supplements until I tried LifePak nano! Long Story short I then started with their skin care products. Well I'm not sure why so many people on this site complain, because I was impressed and so were my clients. But hey, don't believe me. The product sells itself... You always going to get the haters out there and I guess when a company does this well it's going to be a threat to other companies right? Have a great day!

My father. Rest his soul. He was in his day a very accomplished businessman but in the darkest hours of his alcoholism was grasping at straws for some sort of business endeavor. He, I don't even know how to say it but, tried to sell Nu Skin products. He had no background in beauty whatsoever but that did not seem to matter with Nu Skin. All they cared about was trying to get him & his friends to sell to their friends the product. I am and have always been a beauty critic and have worked for major skin care lines. Nu Skin never placed any importance on their product but merely their ability to be able to sell to one person and that that person would be able to sell to the next. Be very careful of this product and look up all you can find about the company. They are trying to to revamp but it sounds more like a happy ending massage place to me.
I hope anyone that considers joining the team takes a look at the big picture. I have nothing to gain by posting this but to let everyone know this is a pyramid scheme and they have been sued in many states. Not individual lawsuits in the paper but public lawsuits of states against the company because they must be??????? Good luck to all you skin care enthusiasts. Try before buy and for sure do your research!!! Always look young and beautiful no matter what - be yourself. That's what counts - their website has so many constraints that I can't give you all the info I have. I will find a way. I have not said anything slanderous or untrue - you can always e-mail me for more info. I have lots of first hand with the product that they promised would work and make everyone a million bucks. I saw it first hand so if you're young just ask your parents or hit send on your computer.
