Anyone tried the Tropic skincare range?

[Workinghardeveryday]

If you have what did you try and what did you think of it?

I don’t need to try it - it’s an MLM. Avoid

What is a MLM?!! @Lemming20

Multi level marketing.

I tried the hand cream and a face cream and found it overpriced and pretty crap, I only brought them out of politeness.

I went to a Tropic 'party' that was truly tedious.

They also hugely exaggerated how natural their products are.

I bought a couple of things to support a friend - overpriced, average products imo. The spray toner was quite nice. The body cream was awful - smelled nice but took ages to rub in.

A couple of the serums are nice but expensive, only bought a few things to help out a friend.

I love it, I use facial cleanser, toner, moisturizer, serums, eye cream. Body pebbles smell lovely and I use them as shampoo too. Mineral makeup. Didn't like lip fudge, felt too greasy for me and not keen on the mascara. I have extremely sensitive skin and have not reacted to anything.

I think it’s great and see a difference in my skin.

It IS an MLM but I do really like some of their stuff.
I have a moisturiser and sun drops and DD has a skin care kit.
I buy it from a friend who has a good job and isn’t at all interested in being a #momboss or #mumpreneur or any of that rubbish and knows I will have nothing to do with parties or reselling etc

No, some of my friends are always pushing it at me and it's so overpriced. I buy skincare from The Ordinary instead - works well and is super cheap!

Like a pp, I don't want to buy from them as they are an MLM.

As others have said, i refuse to support any business that works as an MLM. They are deeply exploitative and prey on vulnerable people (particularly women).

Wouldn't know as will never buy from them. MLMs prey on women in particular, especially new Mums, who they know will more than likely be short of cash for one reason or another.

Seeing the explosion of their ilk on my social media gives me the rage.

I had no idea about MLM’s.
A family member is starting to do this. I have sent her the link...
Thanks for all your replies

This is also a good article

Yes it's an MLM but it's one with good products. All vegan too. Love it. Don't be put off it you like it.

Greengrey - so you don’t think that you should be put off from a product which is sold using a predatory business model and by preying on vulnerable people (usually women)? I only use vegan products too but that is because I wish to avoid harm. MLM causes harm.

On a totally unrelated note, the Founder of Tropic once asked, on national TV, whether French people like their children

Them being vegan is nice and everything, but lots of skincare is now labelled vegan. It doesn't make up for how their business model is set up to exploit vulnerable people in a really cynical way. If you are looking for a vegan, ETHICAL product, Topic isn't it.

There are some great independent skincare companies who make their products ethically and whose products are also vegan.

Snort @ do french people love their children? Sweet Jesus. No surprise that the person who started an MLM is a bit of a bellend tbh.

Tropic not Topic

Amazing. And what prompted this insane question?

I 'won' some once and was kinda glad that I had a reaction to it all so I could tell the lovely family member that I was allergic so I definitely can't buy it.

She was brainstorming, apparently. Karen Brady’s face was a study!

Tropic is a very sore subject, not least because it’s an MLM.

Told my family member who is going to start selling it, she said she keeps 75% of the sale price, doesn’t need to get anyone else to start selling it etc
