I am REALLY wanting to try this line but I am thinking it may be one of those too good to be true things. The pics on fb under Nerium International our great and the story behind the product seems legit. Wish I was more brave.

I just started using it! A friend of mine is a big fan and says it's helping her sun damage and psoriasis and she sent me the remainder of a bottle to try.

I'll let you know how it goes:)

I have used it for 1 month now. It WORKS! Zi had stretchmarks from my 2 children (oldest is 13). They were so deep and covered a large area of my lower belly. In just 1 month Nerium has reduced the severity dramatically! They are mostly just very shallow now, and a lot of it has begun to disappear. In some lighting you cannot even see it. I am so thankful to Nerium!!!

And I'm even making money at the same time! I've tried seceral mlm's before and never made money. This comp plan is so good!

Yes this product does work. It feels like a quantum leap beyond what's available now on the market. Very exciting product. I love when the skincare field makes a big step like this. It just never stops evolving.

I'm an esthetician 14 years now. I cannot keep this product stocked. Clients are clamoring for it. It's an mlm but I stock it for my clients.

My suggestion, if you have a chance to try it, do so.

Thank you Bethany for the links above. Very interesting read. I have no faith in any MLM scheme.

This actually looks really good. Anyone else have any reviews?
I emailed the company and they don't ship to Australia, anyone know where else I can try and get some?
Thanks for any help.

My girlfriend Suesan sells it and I'm sure she would be willing to ship it to Australia. I am not allowed to post her email here, but if you PM me, I can email it to anyone who is interested.

I would also like to hear from anyone who has used this product. I have a friend who has just started selling it, and I have to admit that her skin/complexion does look better -- less oily and her acne scars don't look as noticeable.

I'm doing the five day trial of the product. I usually don't have much luck with any facial product and I've learned not to get my hopes up too high. Nevertheless, I'll report back. However, I doubt that using a product -- any product for that matter -- only five days will have any significant impact.

*Thanks also to Bethany for the links she provided in her post!

Well, the clinical trials they did were for 30 days. Some people see results in 5 days, but most will see in two weeks. What I've seen is that most women know if the like the product in 5 days, and most see something in 14 days. BE SURE TO TAKE PHOTOS, before and after. It's so important.

Nae8 is a propriety blend of aloe and oleander. It is a medical grade ingredient that they control from seed to the end product. It must be unscrupulously pure because it is also used in medical research cases on people with very compromised immune states where it is injected into tumors, etc. Very interesting stuff.

Because of intense competition in the skincare industry, particularly antiaging, they don't go into great detail as to why is works so well. Other estheticians and I marvel at how well it works on clients. It causes no irritation, no getting "over the hump" as with retinoids and acids. It's really quite remarkable. (my mom and I can ever smooth it right over our eyelids, which is impossible for us with other very active products.)

That listing of ingredients is outdated. It is now gluten free. Also, they took out the hydrogenated veg oil.
Trust me, you'll be hearing alot about this product in the future.

Yep you are right! Good to know.

Christine has a number of videos on YouTube about her Nerium experience:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNn_asKtwrE

This product appears to be extremely controversial. There's all sorts of reports on it on the net, most of them stating that it's a scam. I suppose the fact that it's marketed using MLM doesn't help.

Christine, as an aesthetician, what attracted you to Nerium and what do you have to say about all the negativity it generates?

ETA: Oh, and the before and after photographs are "amazing" - completely transformed skin in as little as five days! How does that happen?

free skin care · Fri Aug 10, 2012 8:08 pm

Keliu,
(I don't know how to express my thoughts on Nerium without sounding all "salesy". I'll try.)
Ok, I look awful in that video. I really want to take it down, but I also want everyone to see how I struggled with this product. The product, in a word, is amazing. I would not have put myself through "joining an mlm" if this product wasn't so effective.
I've really had to eat humble pie with Nerium. I LOATHED mlm products. They buzz around esthetician forums like flies. We have to swat them away at every corner. But since my esthetician friend Emilia, who I met even before I became an esty, and was my inspiration for becoming an esty (she's 57 and did her first facial at 17) introduced me to this product, I felt obligated to try it. (Only for her!) I tried it, and the rest is history.

I can tell you why it's generating so much negativity. Because its changing everything in the skincare industry. Some are afraid. Most are skeptical. But it's really raising the bar for skincare products. With an average improvement of 30% in terms of fine lines, deep lines, pigmentation and pore refinement/skin texture it's just beating the pants off even my bestselling professional products that I stock in my skincare studio. (Image Skincare, which I still love and now use during the day, as Nerium only sells a night cream)

And the results you see online are not photoshopped (as far as I know they are taken with people's cell phones. That's what I tell clients to do: same phone, same light). I've seen skin transform with this product in just a few short weeks. (I don't like the 5 day experience that they do, I think it puts too much expectation on too short a time. But give it 30 days and-wow. )

As for how it can do this, your guess is as good as mine. My esty mind tells me it supercharges the immune function of the skin. But they will not confirm any such reasoning, nor will they tell you exactly how it works. They'll tell you it was an accidental discovery used for skin cancers that turned out to be an amazing antiager. And thats it's from the oleander plant. That's it. At first I didn't like that they wouldn't tell me how!? But after a while I just accepted that it works great, and it's safe. And there's no way I'll ever be without it or stop offering it to my clients. No way!

Ok, sorry if this was "salesy".

Well I'd be prepared to give it a try - I try everything, so why not this? But I'm in Australia - how do I get my hands on it?

free skin care · Fri Aug 10, 2012 8:26 pm

I could figure out how to ship you a bottle. I expect a few bottles tomorrow. I guess USPS to Australia?
