Rodan and Fields Reviews - What Is It?

WARNING: DO NOT BUY Rodan and Fields Until You Read This Review!
Is it a Scam? Does It Really Work? Check Ingredients, Side Effects and More!

Rodan and Fields is the company that was founded with the purpose to bring skincare products to everyone who needs them. It has been in business since 2002 and is currently based out of San Francisco, CA. The company was established by Kathy Fields and Katie Rodan, two doctors who were passionate about finding skincare solutions that would be clinically proven, the ones that would be able to change customers' lives. Their products were initially available only directly through the company or in popular department stores, but recently have become available through independent sales consultants.

As a matter of fact, the company has no rating with the Better Business Bureau, but it is associated with fourteen closed complaints within the last several years. Online reviews appear to have a mixed character, with the most common complaints referencing side effects, irritating ingredients, high price, and lack of results. The manufacturer of the products is not very popular or reputable in the country. There is an official website but it is not informative enough. Do Rodan and Fields products really work as claimed by the company? Let's try to answer this question further in this review but at first we will take a look at the major categories of its products.

Ingredients of Rodan and Fields - Does It Really Work? Is It a Scam?

Products from this company are offered in six major categories. Reverse products are made to reverse skin damage, including sun damage, brown spots, and overall dullness.

Customer Reviews - Does It Have Any Side Effects?

The company behind Rodan and Fields products does not mention anything about possible side effects of their product; however, after doing a deep research we concluded that they do occur. Let us just take a look at Rodan and Fields Lash Boost. This product may cause a number of side effects including irritation, since the product is applied very closely to your eyes. To reduce the irritation, just rinse your eyes with water. You may face tingling and redness of your eyes. In this case, you should better stop using the product. If you experience darkening of your lashes, be sure that it happens due to the specific ingredients contained in Lash Boost. To find out if your skin will react well to this product you can perform a patch test by applying a small amount of Lash Boost serum on a small area of the product of your eye. Wait 24 hours before checking the reactions.

There are many testimonials from real users of Rodan and Fields products online. The online customer reputation seems to have a mixed character. One customer writes that she has been using Lash Boost for three months. Her lashes have grown but not as much as promised by the manufacturer. The woman has even developed very serious irritation on her eyelash lines last week. There was also darkness on my skin which was itchy. Another customer confesses that she was happy with the results within the first two weeks of using the product. But then both of her upper eyelids became red and swollen s if she had eyeliner on. The woman could cover it with makeup but she did not like the reaction she had. Finally, the customer discontinued using this eyelash product. She never sent it back because the company's consultant was also her friend. The product is not worth the price tag. The woman also had an issue with wasted product coming out of the tube. Let us take a look at the actual customers' reviews left online.

"I used the Rodan and Fields Redefine system for about three months and even had a noticeable change in my pore size. However, I haven't seen any reduction in wrinkles. Actually, I have before and after pictures which demonstrate that the circles and lines under my eyes became more prominent. I also had to order products for at least $88 every two months. So, I decided to cancel my "PC perks" account"

"I used the Rodan & Fields four-product Redefine System and saw no results, so I called the company to have my order canceled but I was shocked to receive another order the next month. I returned it unopened immediately but I never received my money back for that return. Instead, I received another order and my credit card was charged automatically again. When I tried to call their customer service, I received a taped message saying that I could contact them via email only. I beg you, stay away from this company"

"I tried the RodanAndFields lash boost for almost two weeks before realizing that it made my eyes very irritated each morning. My eyes would get red and itchy. When my eyelids were turning a purple red I stopped using the product. To my surprise, my issues went away. Do not buy this product. It is not worth it! Your health is more important. It is better to take a vitamin with biotin to achieve the same results"

My Final Summary

Buying Rodan and Fields products, you will have a chance to sign up for their PC Perks program and enjoy free shipping on scheduled orders, 10% savings on all products, as well as get exclusive promotions and offerings. However, the company is associated with some drawbacks. We have encountered a number of negative reviews about their products with the most common complaints citing ineffectiveness of the products, side effects and unfair marketing policy of the company. Rodan and Fields products appear to be somewhat expensive when compared to the competition. The instructions of using them are unclear, while the longevity has not been tested. The company has been on the market not so long. With this in mind, I cannot recommend Rodan and Fields products.
