Dermatology Products

Dermatology Without a Prescription

 

Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields, the creators of Proactiv® Solution, launched Rodan + Fields Dermatologists to extend their vision of bringing dermatology based skincare solutions to everyone. To support this vision, the doctors teamed up with Independent Consultants like Pamela Tate of St. George, Utah to market these prestigious products.

Rodan+Fields offers 4 outstanding regimen:

• Unblemish (for adult acne)
• Reverse (sun damage)
• Soothe (for sensitive skin)
• Anti-Age (wrinkles)

I tried the Anti-Age regimen and loved it! Now that I am in my 30s I am more concerned with aging. It felt so refreshing to use the daily cleansing mask and pore minimizer. The triple defense sunscreen felt light on my skin and the overnight restorative cream did its job.

Want to see pictures of actual results? Video

Pamela Tate is a resident of St. George and is an Executive Consultant for Rodan + Fields. She would love to educate you about these amazing dermatology products. You can also become a consultant yourself and own your own mini franchise. This is a flexible job, requiring about 10-15 hours per week. You just start to tell others about the products and once you use them you will become a walking advertisement. Consultants purchase a beginning kit that includes products, marketing materials, videos and two websites. Contact Pamela for more information or go to her website: Pam Tate: Rodan+Fields
