NuSkin is in China, I just joined NuSkin China yesterday. It seems like a solid program and I am starting to love NuSkin China.
NuSkin Expert Review by Brian Garvin and Jeff West
The NuSkin Company was amazingly started by a brother and sister, Blake Roney and his sister Nedra Roney. They also had a friend Sandi Tillotson. Blake had just graduated from Brigham Young University in 1984, when they decided to start a business. They had only $5,000 among them to start their personal care product. That was then, and look at the company now. In 1996, after some incredible growth, the company went public and was listed in the NY Stock Exchange.
For two decades now the company has been creating products and building a company that can deliver these products to millions of customers. NuSkin has products that treat the skin for problems such as aging, complexion problems, or just wanting healthier skin.
NuSkin has a line called Pharmanex. This line carries products for weight management, nutrition and vitamin supplements. They have produced the Bioscan S2, which scans your body for weaknesses and gives you an average age of your body and how it compares to your real age.
They are also Big Planet, which has come into the digital photography age and provides an opportunity for distributors to offer ways to store your digital photographs, organize them and even make home movies. This program, I have actually been involved in. It was a bit to get involved. I loved being able to send in my old photos and having them scanned for me. They were put on a disk as well as put on my site online.

The drawback was I had to spend so much a month. In order for me to qualify for my bonus, a $100 needed to be automatically withdrawn out of my account, and then I was given credits for my photos, whether I wanted to use it for scanning, or making posters, mugs, etc. I ended up having to quit, because I was making less than I was spending. There really weren’t any sales involved, it was mainly focused on recruiting. In the 4 months that I was involved, I probably went to 10 meetings and a convention in SLC, UT that cost me almost $400.
The products with NuSkin are excellent. They provide excellent service as well and there is a great amount of support and training for the representatives. They stay close with those they sponsor and will even help you do presentations. But this program was the same as all the other I tried, and I did try. I really believed this one would work for me. I did invest a lot of my time and energy. I invested what money I had in the videos to show, had products made for myself to show as samples. I involved my family and my friends. They were all very supportive and really wanted to see this one work for me. Everyone signed up for his or her space on the Internet, but no one was interested in buying the kit. The reason was, once you commit to buying the kit, you are committing to that $100 a month withdrawal. That is a big commitment when you are just getting by.
NuSkin, as I have said before, is a good company, but it works like any other network marketing company. They focus on recruiting and this focus is above and beyond the products. The products are the vehicles to get to your destination.
Make sure this is what you want, check the fine print. Know what you are willing to pay and to give up to make NuSkin work. This is pretty saturated in my area where I live now, so it has slowed down a bit. Do your research and before you make up your mind. There are better ways out there to make some money, working on your own. Keep searching.

Hey Brian and Jeff,
You guys rock! Another solid review of an MLM company. I have spoke with a few people in NuSkin and all in all they really like the products. You are right about the money being in the product. If their is a high enough demand for the product this company will go far.

To get a discount on Nu skin products just become a Nu Skin distributor, and you can purchase all the Nu Skin products at wholesale, saving 30%.
Go to nuskin’s website. Choose country. Click “sign up” then “individual” and in the sponsor distributor Id write: IL1158671 – Fill in the form and save up to 30% on all the products.
Usually there’s a $25 fee to become a distributor, but if you make a purchase it’s free – http://www.adchen.nsedreams.com
If you just want to purchase NuSkin wonderful products and not to become a distributor, just use this ID number – IL1158671 – to order.

i never worked with the big planet service but the 100 dollar a month is not just deducted from the account but you actually choose the products you want. I can keep my executive level with just the customer’s purchases. Finding the good people to work with though takes time, you should give it another shot

Brian and Jeff, I suggest that if you’d done more investigation and analysis prior to joining Nu Skin, you may have made some different decisions about your methodology. It could also be that perhaps you didn’t receive the best advice from your sponsor and it’s always important to work directly with someone who is actually making a great deal of money by helping their leaders build strong and sustainable teams based on genuine consumer sales.
Nu Skin is possibly the single most exciting opportunity available today, however if you do not find the products attractive enough or cost-competitive enough to be able to gladly swap your personal care shopping over to your own Nu Skin shop (and most families are spending way more than $100 a month on such items) then it’s not the company for you.
You should never go into any company if your only reason for buying the products is that you’re a distributor. There must be a genuine consumer market for the products, the market must be huge, ravenous, and proven, and the prices must be highly competitive.
Nu Skin ticks these boxes and then some.
