I've been deeply scarred both mentally and physically due to Nu Skin products. I see many people showing the same symptoms as me, which reaffirms my belief that these are indeed side effects. Be careful! Even in situations like this, the company consistently turns a blind eye. After looking into Nu Skin products, I found numerous cases of adverse reactions, yet sellers illegally market them, acting as if they're doctors and calling it a "healing crisis." The side effects are extremely severe. If you're affected, there's no compensation whatsoever. You'll be the only one to suffer losses, so it's best not to buy in the first place. Both the company and sellers maintain a "not my problem" attitude. The company's customer service is incredibly rude over the phone.
ConsThe seller initially used unethical tactics to force sales, and when they realized I couldn't prove causation, they just told me to deal with it myself. Ha! The company merely gave these sellers a warning. I guess they can't fire all of them since so many are pushing sales with this "healing crisis" nonsense. Nu Skin seems doomed to fail. The company pretends not to know about these individual sellers' tactics. When complaints come in, they just offer refunds and repeatedly refuse compensation. For persistent complainers like me, they try to settle with a measly 200,000 won "maximum compensation." I raised hell over that amount and managed to get money from their insurance company. It's infuriating. The company maintains there's nothing wrong with their products and that they can't compensate without proof of causation. However, they admitted responsibility for the seller preventing me from seeking medical help and pressuring me to continue using the product despite adverse reactions. That's why they processed it through insurance. Of course, there's "nothing wrong" with their products, right? The food and drug administration approved it for sale. The irony is that 9 out of 10 people experience these symptoms when using it! My personal theory is that since Nu Skin is an American product, it might contain ingredients that don't suit Korean skin well. But that's just my speculation. At this point, I'm genuinely curious about it. Now that the painful period has passed, I'm really wondering about it. Thank you for reading this long post.

The bottom line is: Don't buy anything related to Nu Skin. This is what I heard at the dermatologist's office today.
ConsLet me cut to the chase: Don't use it. For reference, I'm writing about my experience with the Clear Action set. 1. On the first day, my skin felt itchy and burning hot, as if scalded. 2. These symptoms persisted, and my face became swollen. 3. By the third day, pus-filled blisters appeared all over my face. The photo shows my forehead, but my cheeks, nose, and chin looked exactly the same. I used the Clear Action set last year when my skin was bad. It cleared up my acne, so I used it again this year. After this reaction, I went to the ER due to severe pain and itching. They prescribed ointment, and I visited a dermatologist the next day. The doctor said it was really severe. They extracted the pus, applied soothing and hydrating masks, and gave me ointments, oral medication, and injections. It cost me a fortune. Why was it fine last year? The dermatologist explained that the reaction was just delayed - it would have happened if I'd continued using it. I told them I stopped after one bottle because it was expensive. This time, the reaction came on immediately. ***Listen up I've seen reviews where people familiar with Nu Skin call this a 'purging phase' and say it gets better if you wait it out. I fell for that too. If the 'purging' is this severe, it simply means the product doesn't suit your skin. If you experience immediate itching, stinging, swelling, and redness, stop using it. If it's just slightly red, you might continue, but otherwise, start the refund process immediately. I'm currently in the process of getting a refund. Also, a true purging phase should last 3-7 days at most. If it doesn't improve, it's not purging - it's dermatitis. The dermatologist told me Nu Skin products are problematic. I'm lucky I stopped after using it twice; it would have been worse if I'd continued. In conclusion: Don't endure it thinking it's a purging phase, especially if you're having an allergic reaction. If there's a problem, stop using it. And use products other than Nu Skin. It's a multi-level marketing company to begin with. If they were legitimate, they'd sell in department stores. I've been using Nu Skin for 5 years and had suspicions, but now I see it all comes crashing down at once.

I wish I could give zero stars. There's absolutely nothing positive to say about this.
ConsI have a cursed skin type - combination oily and dry, extremely greasy yet severely tight. About 5 years ago, an acquaintance recommended Nu Skin, promising glowing skin and beauty. Little did I know her entire family was involved in the Nu Skin business. Trusting her, I started using it immediately. My face turned red, stung, and looked like I had a chemical burn. When I reported this to her, she dismissed it as a 'purging phase', insisting it would settle if I continued use. She showed before and after photos of others, urging me to trust her. Like a fool, I persisted even as my skin deteriorated severely over 3 years. They claimed some people's 'purging' could last 3-6 months, so I naively kept using it. I was young and too trusting then. Finally coming to my senses, I tossed all Nu Skin products and now I'm trying different brands to soothe my skin. It's so damaged that if I ever see that woman again, I might lose it.
TipThe best tip is to not use it at all. I'm warning you, do not use this. You'll end up with skin problems like me.

It hurts, it really hurts. It's itchy and painful.
ConsAfter using this, I got a serious rash on my face and neck. It's no joke. I've never had allergies in my life, but this completely wrecked my skin. I get startled every time I look in the mirror...

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThere's nothing good to say... The only positive thing was my decision to stop using it after just a week due to side effects.
ConsOn the first day of use, I got blemishes on my cheeks and chin (I usually only get acne on my forehead). On the second day, my face turned red. By the third day, my skin became extremely dry. On the fourth day, blemishes appeared even on my forehead. The fifth day brought constant burning sensations and redness to my cheeks. On the sixth day, my skin became so thin that all my capillaries were visible. By the seventh day, I finally decided to stop using it! The seller claimed this was just part of the process... Remember that cosmetics aren't meant to be medicine. I've been living with sensitive, red skin for a month now.
TipPlease don't use this product! They say slightly acidic products are best for acne, right? If that's the case, get a low pH cleanser from Bioderma or CeraVe. I found out that Nu Skin isn't the only brand offering low pH products.

I was disappointed. I got a pimple on each cheek.
ConsIt doesn't lather well, has a strange smell, and is overall disappointing. I thought it only had good ingredients, but it turns out there are four ingredients to be cautious about. My skin reacted badly after using Nu Skin, and I'm upset about it.

ConsAfter using this, my skin completely flipped out with tiny bumps and redness all over my face. Everyone kept asking what happened to me. The seller claimed it was a 'purging phase' and insisted I needed to get all the sebum out now or it would come back, so I persevered for two months. My face became so bad I couldn't even look in the mirror, so I finally gave up. I use other Nu Skin products without issues, but this one is definitely not for me. It's been two months since I stopped using it, and while I still get the occasional blemish, the tiny bumps are gone.
