Those who signed up to sell Jeunesse skin care products as a part of an alleged multi-level marketing scheme may qualify for cash from a $2.5 million class action settlement.

A Florida man alleged in a Jeunesse class action lawsuit that he and others were duped into taking part in a scheme that prioritized the recruitment of other sales people over actual sales of skin care products and nutritional supplements.

The plaintiff claims that Jeunesse rigged the system against distributors, forcing them to pay for a “starter kit” to take part in the multi-level marketing scheme.

The Jeunesse class action states that ultimately the sales and profit promised by Jeunesse failed to materialize and distributors were left holding unsold and even expired products.

Jeunesse denies any wrongdoing under the terms of the Jeunesse class action settlement, but has agreed to pay Class Members who bought a starter kit in order to take part in the sale and distribution of the skin care products, but did not end up making any profit after purchase of the kit.







Class Members also include those who purchased Jeunesse products for resale, but failed to resell their inventory and had to throw it away.

Starter kit Class Members can receive a payment up to the amount of the starter kit, not including any sales or commissions.

Other Class Members can receive a payment of up to 50 percent of the purchase price of the products they discarded, along with a 90 percent refund of products they still have, but failed to sell.

Under the terms of the class action settlement, active distributors will have to resign to take part in a claim. Additionally, the period of time covered by the class action settlement is Jan. 1, 2010 through Sept. 13, 2018

The deadline for Class Members to exclude themselves or object to the Jeunesse class action settlement is Nov. 26, 2018.
