Do the Nu Skin products really work?
There is never a straight answer to this question. During my research, I came across Nu Skin complaints regarding people experiencing ‘bad reactions.’
On the flipside, folks have testified that Nu skin products actually do work. The official Nu Skin website displays photos of people showing the ‘before’ and ‘after’ results of using the products.
At the end of the day, it all boils down to you and how your body responds to the ingredients contained within these products.
CAN YOU MAKE MONEY WITH THE NU SKIN PRODUCTS?
As far as the Pharmanex products are considered, there is nothing here that we have not seen before.
There are tons of supplements already out there, that claim to help with the conditions mentioned. It’s simply a matter of people’s preference and price.
Coming to the beauty and skincare market, the competition is fierce.
The Nu Skin products are not exactly cheap, and if you are thinking of going into this business, this is an issue that you need to take into account.
Perhaps you can afford the product, but the next person cannot. The second scenario is that even if they have the money, they may already trust a particular brand.You will have to do some convincing here!
I am not saying that you should not join the business. I am merely pointing out the challenge that you can possibly face along the way!
How can you make money with the Nu Skin Business? Let me show you.
THE NU SKIN COMPENSATION PLAN- IS IT UNIQUE?
The unique part unlike other MLM’s is that to become a distributor, it’s free.
As a Nu Skin distributor, you can earn money in 2 ways:
- By buying products at wholesale price and selling at retail,(25% profit) [ METHOD 1], or
- Bonuses which is calculated from your product sales and the overall sales of the distributors in your downline.[METHOD 2].
Method 2, places emphasis on building your downline. According to the website, you have to:
- Teach others to engage and enroll new customers, then you qualify to become a,
- Sales Network Executive(earns bonus from sales in your downline), and you,
- Qualify for Success Trips, then
- Teach Others to become Sales Network Executives, and
- Earn Sales bonuses from your executives.
In other words, recruit, recruit and recruit!
Here is video, that explains the comp.plan in more detail.
THE TRAINING OF NU SKIN- CAN IT HELP YOU WITH YOUR BUSINESS?
During my research, I recall a Nu Skin member saying, ‘ training is one own’s responsibility.’
And if you look below, these sentiments ‘rings’ true. There is not much of Nu Skin business tools except marketing brochures, product cards, and product samples.
IS NU SKIN A PYRAMID SCHEME?- MY FINAL OPINION
The company is well positioned in the growing market of people wanting anti-aging products.
With increasing life expectancies folks desire to look graceful with time.
Is Nu Skin a scam? In all fairness. It’s evident that the company has a decent product portfolio and people have made money from selling them. In my opinion, I do not think that Nu Skin is a scam.
However, there are 2 concerns, that I want to make you aware of. Before you make that final decision of signing, let me run them by you.
- Limited Tools to Grow Your Business
Apart from the marketing product brochures, there is not much else given to you, to teach you how to grow your business.
It’s a given that after you’ve tried the products and see a difference, then the results should bring in some customers. Family and friends would want to know your secret and ultimately buy from you.
But what happens, when you have exhausted the option of speaking to everyone you know?
You then take to social media. There probably are many other distributors doing the same thing. How do you then stand out amongst the crowd?

2. Recruiting is where the main prize lies
The statistics do not favor MLM business models when it comes to making money. Take a look at the table below.
It may not be very clear, but it shows the Average commissions earned by distributors within 2016.
The larger commissions are paid out to distributors who achieved higher ranks. The Diamond Executive rank, (highlighted in red), pays an average of $7, 800 a month!
The Executive Rank pays out $420 a month.
Only 0.18% of distributors reach the Diamond rank, whereas, 5% made the Executive rank.
What does this tell you? That you need to work hard at recruiting, to make your Nu Skin business a success.
Once again, I don’t want to put you off. If recruiting is your thing and you enjoy speaking to people, then, by all means, go for it!
CAN I MAKE MONEY WITHOUT HAVING TO RECRUIT?
Absolutely!
If you feel that the Nu Skin MLM business is not for you, then it’s not the end of the world.
I started an online business three years ago, that does NOT require any RECRUITING.
The main benefits of this type of business model are, that:
- You DO NOT have to Cold Call people,
- You DO NOT have to Recruit,
- You DO NOT have to Buy any products!
In fact, you can build an online business, upon a hobby of yours. Is’nt that cool?
Basically, you get to choose what your business is going to be about.
I learned all of this through an amazing teaching platform that takes one from Beginner Level, all the way through, to the end.

A very informative piece. It sound like NuSkin is a typical MLM system. Yes, you can make money but if you want to make a living out of it, you have to put your hart and soul into it to grow your down line. Failing this, you are generally a user of the product that gets it at a discount. the few sales you make just subsidies your use of the product.
Hi Bryan
I think that with any legit business, be it online or ‘traditional brick and mortar, ‘ you have to put your heart and soul into it.
I think as far as Nu Skin, is concerned, is the ‘recruiting’ aspect that makes the major difference between success and failure. You can work hard, but if you do not like to recruit, then the passion can last only for certain time. Why do it, if you are not having fun?
That’s what I believe. Build a business, with hard work, but make sure that you are enjoying doing it at the same time.You will be greater success as time goes on.
Like you said while this Kay not typically be a scam, it’s also not an easy business to make money in since their model is based of an MLM system.
Also the products they sell are in a very competitive market, making it just that much harder to sell.
I’d rather be able to sell what I want without having to recruit people.
Hey Michael
Thank you so much for stopping by.
If you do not like starting a recruiting type of business, then why not check out this home based business. Its free to join and you can test it to see if its what you like.
