How to read this comparison

  • Starter kit is the up-front purchase to begin selling. Some companies also charge an annual renewal or a website fee; check the company page.
  • Personal commission is your cut of your own retail sales. Downline commission is what you earn on sales by people you recruit; a plan with no downline pay is single-level, one with overrides is multi-level.
  • Sales to earn the kit back divides the minimum kit by the minimum commission. It is the retail volume you must sell before the kit has paid for itself, before any other costs.
  • Most multi-level plans publish an income disclosure statement. Ask for it, and read it, before you sign. Typical participants earn far less than the top ranks.
  • Figures are company-reported and can change. Spot something out of date? Tell us.

I’ve been apart of Mary Kay for 2.5 years ! I’m a Senior sales Director ☺️ However, the team commission statement on here is incorrect! We get 4-36% commission + our 50% on sales profit. Which would make us Number 1 for pay if all the rest of the companies are correct!

Really was skeptical about this at first, but the results speak for themselves! I highly recommend these products.

Featured in Forbes, allure, People , BEAUTYINC, VOGUE, NBC News and more. Rodan and fields offers a 60-day Satisfaction Guarantee, you have nothing to lose...besides the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Rodan + Fields was the top-selling skin-care brand in the U.S. last year, in my opinion it's one of the best skin care products on the market! I just ordered a new regimen for myself, "REVERSE Brightening". I can't wait to get started.

This business has provided coaching, support, guidance and incentives! I absolutely love the products and so do all my customers. There is a 60 day money back guarantee on the business kits and products. I love being able to help others find the right products for their skin. Our solution tool helps you find a regimen and will offer other products based on your areas of concern. This is the first time since my early teens that I don’t have to wear foundation!! I am amazed at what the products have done for me and my customers.

I could FEEL a difference in my skin after one use. After two weeks I could SEE a difference, and it has only gotten better as I go along. It's not surprising that Rodan & Fields is the Number One Skin Care Company in America. (& the #1 Premium skin care co. in N. America) People ask me on a REGULAR BASIS where I go to get my lash extensions. I love telling them that THEY'RE MINE!!! I started using R&F Lash Boost and within 6 weeks my lashes were up to my eyebrows, and looked so much fuller, thicker and darker! I also love the Eye Cream and other add on products!!!
