Rodan + Fields has become a prominent name in premium skincare, largely through social media buzz. Founded by the same doctors behind Proactiv, R+F promises transformative results. Before diving in, it’s important to clarify: this review is unbiased. As a skincare enthusiast and content creator, I have no affiliation with Rodan + Fields and am not compensated for sharing my experience.
The world of Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) companies can be complex. While many individuals involved are passionate and genuine about the products they promote, certain marketing approaches can be off-putting. Overly enthusiastic social media posts and leveraging insecurities to drive sales can create skepticism. My aim here is to cut through the noise and focus on the core question: Do Rodan + Fields products actually deliver on their promises?
For me, the answer is yes. Using Rodan + Fields, I observed a significant improvement in my skin’s overall appearance. My complexion became more even-toned, with reduced discoloration and noticeably smaller pores. The texture felt smoother, and my skin gained a healthy glow. This transformation boosted my confidence to go makeup-free more often, and even when I do wear makeup, it looks better and requires less product due to the improved skin texture. The compliments I received on my skin were a testament to the visible changes.
The following before-and-after pictures serve as a visual tool to illustrate the skin care solution provided by Rodan + Fields. These photos were taken approximately one week after starting the Rodan + Fields regimen, highlighting initial skin conditions such as fine lines, age spots, discoloration, and enlarged pores.
These subsequent photos showcase the results after approximately 5 months of consistent use of Rodan + Fields products, further demonstrating the effectiveness of this skin care solution.
My journey with Rodan + Fields began through a personal connection. A consultant, who I knew professionally and admired for her radiant skin, introduced me to the brand. She recommended the Redefine 3-step regimen, designed to combat the signs of aging. I committed to using it diligently.
While the Redefine regimen brought initial improvements, I was particularly interested in targeting sun spots. My consultant then suggested incorporating the Reverse Radiance Mask. This product proved to be a game-changer, significantly enhancing the results I was seeing. The Reverse Radiance Mask, with its potent ingredients, made a noticeable difference in fading sunspots and further evening out my skin tone.
Initially, I followed the complete Redefine 3-step regimen for about three months. However, I found the cleanser, a cleansing mask, didn’t quite align with my preference for a thorough cleanse, especially for makeup removal. I returned to my trusted La Roche Posay Effaclar gel cleanser.
My adapted routine then consisted of the Redefine toner, Redefine PM cream (night), and the Reverse Radiance Mask (day). This combination proved highly effective. Upon finishing the Redefine PM cream, I began using the Reverse Radiance Mask both morning and night, which further accelerated the fading of sunspots.
The positive feedback I received on my skin, particularly at a conference, was truly remarkable. Having never considered my skin a strong point, these compliments were a pleasant surprise. It’s important to note my history with tanning beds, which had likely contributed to sun damage. Rodan + Fields, particularly the Reverse Radiance Mask, played a crucial role in reversing some of this damage. I also became diligent about sunscreen application, a crucial step when using retinol and for overall skin protection.
So, is Rodan + Fields “worth it”? In my experience, yes, especially as an accessible entry point into focused skincare. The regimens are straightforward, easy to integrate into a routine, and product-efficient, lasting for several months. For individuals in their thirties and beyond seeking to establish a preventative and proactive skincare approach, Rodan + Fields offers a solid starting point. While not the most budget-friendly option, when considering the monthly cost breakdown and the duration of product use, it becomes a reasonable investment in skin health.
It’s worth noting an update to my skincare journey: I have since explored other advanced skincare lines, including Biologique Recherche, Drunk Elephant, and Sunday Riley. My current skincare routine reflects this evolution.
Rodan + Fields introduced me to the consistent use of key ingredients like retinol and vitamin C. My dermatologist had emphasized retinol as a gold standard for preventing wrinkles and enhancing skin appearance, a sentiment I now strongly believe. Having had periods with minimal skincare routines, committing to a consistent regimen with Rodan + Fields revealed the remarkable impact of dedicated skincare.
My subsequent blog post details my current skincare routine, which incorporates retinol, vitamin C, and even explores injectables like Botox. Stay tuned for more insights!
P.S. The progression photos also highlight the improvement in my lash length and thickness. I attribute this to Rodan + Fields Lash Boost, experiencing comparable results to prescription options like Latisse!
The following progression photos visually document my Rodan + Fields regimen journey from start to finish, spanning approximately 5 months. These images serve as a comprehensive visual representation of the skin care solution and its transformative effects over time.
