Another company has shown that multilevel marketing works. Rodan & Fields has announced that they have hit the $1 Billion mark in annual sales. This tells me that independent Rodan and Fields representatives are selling the products and also making great money.
Let’s take a closer look at this MLM company.
The History Of Rodan & Fields
In the mid 1980’s at Stanford University College of Medicine, 2 women met while they were in dermatology residency. Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields studied together and brainstormed about their futures.
In 1995, these 2 women developed a solution to defeat acne. The name of this solution was called ProActiv and became a hit quickly with people trying to battle the acne problem. Guthy-Renker purchased the ProActiv trademark after it was sold via infomercials with the 2 Doctors explaining their development.
After ProActiv, Dr’s Rodan and Fields began to invent other skincare products. In 2002, Rodan and Fields was launched and the products were sold in department stores around the nation. In 2003, Estee Lauder purchased Rodan and Fields. In 2006, it was decided that multilevel marketing would be the best business format, and that is what occurred.
In 2007, Katie and Kathy… Rodan and Fields reacquired their brand back from Estee Lauder. The company has been selling various skincare products using the multilevel marketing business format since that time.
The Rodan & Fields Product Line
The Rodan and Fields skincare line has evolved into a wide brand range allowing independent representatives a long list of products they can sell. Brands include:
- Redefine
- Reverse
- Unblemish
- Soothe
- Essentials
- and Enhancements
If you can think of any type of skin care item, Rodan and Fields probably carries a product that solves that need.

Rodan and Fields through a wrench in the world of skincare when the company was given the title of #1 skincare brand in the United States in 2016. This cam with the announcement by the company that they had reached $1 Billion in revenues.
This could not have happened without highly competent leadership.

These are just a few of the Rodan and Fields leaders. Each independent business owner is a leader in their own right and that is why Rodan and Fields has generated $1 billion in sales.
These 2 Women Started Rodan & Fields On A Dream
When you look at how Katie and Kathy got started, it just gives us goosebumps. They had very little money and tested their Proactiv solution on friends and family. When they finally came up with the mix, they approached Neutrogena who turned them down but gave the infomercial idea. That is when they approached Guthy-Renker who took over ProActiv and gave the women 15% royalties.
It was the beginning of a $1 billion dream.
Dr’s Katie and Kathy still see patients twice per week in their dermatology clinic. This shows that these 2 women are committed to changing the world one pimple or skin issue at a time.
It makes me delightfully happy to see that Rodan and Fields has hit that huge mark of success. I bet they will not stop there. Watch for more great things to come from Rodan and Fields.
