I never thought about actually making a post on this site, but after much time has passed I finally decided to. I did NOT have a good experience with Limelife by alcone, neither as a beauty guide nor as a user of the products, and here is my story.

Before you continue reading, if you are a current beauty guide, do not attempt to argue with my statements nor opinions, for this is what happened to me. I first heard of Limelife by alcone over 2 years ago. A lady who lives near me was making very much money, and was able to quit her job because of LL. I was a gullible girl who saw all of these posts about how much money she was making, how she went out of state to nice estates, got a new vehicle, went on cruises, and I was just in awe.

I stood on the sidelines for many months wondering "should I do this too?" During my wondering period, LL boomed like crazy. The said lady had MANY people join her team, and those many people lived in my area. I'm talking hundreds of people within like a 25 mile radius- yea. Anyways, finally, after much thought and time, I decided to join BEFORE I had ever tried the products because, as someone who had never known much about the direct sales, I was gullible to believe every word about how the "products were perfect, did not cause breakouts and got rid of cystic acne" and all of this other "perfect" stuff.

Needless to say, when my starter kit arrived, I was ecstatic. I just KNEW I had the best products on the planet, because that's what every seller made it out to be. "Better than younique, better than this, better than that"- always priding the products. After using the products for just a few days, cystic acne began showing up on my face.

I brushed it off and thought "hm, there's no way it's because of these products, because I've always heard they don't cause acne." So, I kept using them, bragging on them, and standing by them. As months passed and my acne worsened, my face became overcome with it. The skin care wasn't benefiting it, only adding to the issue. I thought "hm, let me try the Mask of Zen, that's the acne treating mask for oily skin!" So I did.

Time and time again, months and months, I kept blaming my acne on things OTHER than LL. The foundation was an oil ridge on my face, and did not hide the fact that there was an acne infestation going on (although in videos beauty guides miraculously make it disappear). Finally, I decided to make an appointment with my dermatologist. I brought in the mask of zen, foundation, and cleanser.

Needless to say, he was not pleased with any of it. He suggested I tried Neutrogena foundation, and heck, it's Better to me than LL and less than half the price! When I told my upline what my dermatologist said, she said I was the only one who ever had that issue, and tried to get me to see a different dermatologist. She basically made it seem as though my dermatologist, someone who STUDIED the SKIN FOR YEARS, had no clue what he was talking about, and unfortunately, like an idiot, I was gullible and fell back into the trap.

however, I did stop using LL and began using a regimen my dermatologist prescribed to me. My acne WENT away when I stopped using LL.. that's when I knew it was not going to work for me and I was no longer going to promote those products. Ever since I had this experience, I have had a very salty attitude towards this company without meaning to.

However, it's quite hard not to when you're constantly seeing "these products can't cause acne! Nobody gets acne with this products! This foundation covers everything!

This is good for ANY skin type!" News flash: A particular brand is not perfect for every single person in the world; if it were, everyone would use it. I won't even get into detail about how I hardly made any money or the bossy training that occurred- that's been talked about enough on my behalf.

Reason of review: Bad quality.

It cleared my acne when nothing else did.

I'm having acne like never before. I was using lime life for a long time and thought it was great but once my acne increased I'm wondering if it's not because of it... I never had acne my whole life and I was breaking out super bad once I got my starter kit.

I too have been experiencing acne like Iโ€™m a teen. I have been using LimeLife foundation for 9 months with no problem but I added Sotox about 3 months ago and I break out terribly.

I stoped using it for a few weeks and it cleared right up. I gave it a second chance and days after using Sotox I broke out again.

It was painful and not pretty. I live the foundation but am pretty bummed that I canโ€™t use all of the products.

Do you have any allergies, that you know of, of mushrooms? That is 1 of its main ingredients...just a suggestion, bc it may not be All their ski care, just 1 product..

Guest

I have used it an totally love what it has done for my skin..so sorry you have cystic acne..sometimes you are prone to such a thing.. good luck

I would chalk this experience up as a Life Lesson! So sorry you had to go through that!

LimeLife products are very overpriced. I too have experienced serious breakouts after using these products now for 6 months.

I considered that the reason for the breakouts must be that my pores were being cleaned. I used One Drop Wonder (3 bottles) in this period of time, waiting for the "miracle" that never happened. They say that their products are 50 percent pigmented and you don't have to use much...NOT SO! I have to use just as much and continually apply trying to get the lighter shades to stand out.

The powder and the shadows crumble very easily.

It is a mess! It is by far NOT the quality for the price!

I have been blessed with a good complexion in that I have never had issue with acne. I do have issues with blotchy red skin and so every once in awhile I will use a foundation to cover up on.

I don't use make-up on a daily or even a weekly basis as I don't like how it makes my skin feel and I don't like clogging my pores. That being said when I do use the foundation I always get small break out on my chin...every time.

I am exactly the same.

Guest

I am having the exact same problem! I have never had such bad acne in my life and I am using LimeLife. Can I ask you what your derm suggested besides neutrogena foundation?

Brinnley Son

Thank You for your honestly. I have A LOT of skin issues.

I'm terrified to even sample LL products. I also have Fibromyalgia and MECFS. These diseases/ chronic illness cause a lot of skin issues.

I want to maybe consider being a beauty guide but first I have to make sure I'm not allergic or intolerant or whatever. Signed, Oily skin make-up Lover.

Donโ€™t do it. Hit up DoTerra or Young Living because they have other products that may help with issues youโ€™re having besides makeup.

Why are you terrified to try samples? I think you should try some samples and then make a decision on whether it is for you or not.

Just because it didn't work for some people, don't let their negativity ruin a possible opportunity for you.

Current #limelifer and I wouldn't change a thing, but don't assume I just use LL products, because if I told you that I would be lying. Reach out if you need help.

I too have Fibro, heart failure the list goes one.. also had adult acne.

I am NOT a beauty guide with LL. But usemany of the products. Eyeshadow, mascara I have never had these to products that work this well for me a d I have had cataract surgery and lens implanted.You my also find some products you love, and others you hate.

My dermatologist had me try bare Minerals Foundation. Doesn't brake out my skin even when I sleep in it.

Guest

I have also been using limelife foundation and have noticed that my face is breaking out. It is absolutely horrible today, so I am wondering if the foundation could be my issue also. I havenโ€™t changed anything else in my regimen of facial care.

Guest

I can see this in every person I know that sells this. They very much have acne that I know was not there before. I sure will it be using it

Guest
