I have been trying to come up with a list of top few places to buy a LumiSpa based on my own data analysis and research, and I am amused by it’s outcome. Have you ever wonder what internet or social media could do to promote a product internationally and generate millions of revenue? It’s pretty amazing that since I’ve posted How to Buy LumiSpa last week, the topic has been highly discussed amongst groups and forums! One of the most frequently asked question I’ve gathered is that people are now asking Where to buy a LumiSpa. It is to my surprise that many of ready buyers actually checking out stuff from Amazon or eBay. 😂 So let’s see what I’ve found.
The Top 6 Places to Buy a LumiSpa:
- Amazon
- eBay
- Lazada
- Shopee
- Tao Bao （淘宝）
- Authorised reseller

Anyone who wishes to buy Nu Skin products in their market should buy through the Nu Skin of their market’s office or authorised Nu Skin distributors.
Option 2: Amazon
Risk of purchase: ★★★★★
Reason of Risk: Unauthorized Seller – Your purchase is not warrant by Official Nu Skin.
Amazon is the world’s largest online retailer and a prominent cloud services provider at the moment. Today Amazon is a titan of e-commerce, logistics, payments, hardware, data storage, and media. It dabbles in plenty more industries. It’s the go-to site for online shoppers and merchants alike, a modern necessity that independent sellers love to hate. Prime, Amazon’s signature $99-a-year membership program, has an estimated 85 million subscribers in the US, equivalent to about two-thirds of American households. To even call it an e-commerce company feels completely inadequate.
As I did a search on Amazon with keyword “LumiSpa”, 7 results being returned as of today. The offering price ranges from $120 and one of the seller claiming there’s 15 ready stocks for sale. 😂
Option 3: eBay
Risk of purchase: ★★★★★
Reason of Risk: Unauthorized Seller – Your purchase is not warrant by Official Nu Skin.
eBay Inc. is a multinational e-commerce corporation based in San Jose, California that facilitates consumer-to-consumer and business-to-consumer sales through its website.
As I did a search on eBay with keyword “LumiSpa”, 70 results being returned as of today. The offering price ranges from $176.95 for a set of LumiSpa Debut Kit.
Note: You might be wondering though why Amazon has lesser sellers, but people are actually more keen to buy from Amazon compared to eBay, here’s Why Do Most People Choose Amazon Rather Than eBay for Buying Products.
Option 4: Lazada
Risk of purchase: ★★★★★
Reason of Risk: Unauthorized Seller – Your purchase is not warrant by Official Nu Skin.
Launched in 2012, Lazada is the number-one online shopping and selling destination in Southeast Asia (SEA) – present in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
There are 179 results being returned as I searched for “ageLOC LumiSpa” on Lazada, but the result aren’t totally just about LumiSpa, this reflects pretty accurately of the culture of Southeast Asia online sellers IMHO, it seems like sellers don’t really care what keywords to use when it comes to listing a product for sale on Lazada, sellers would use the keyword “LumiSpa” for listings for other Nu Skin or ageLOC products too.
Option 5: Shopee
Risk of purchase: ★★★★★
Reason of Risk: Unauthorized Seller – Your purchase is not warrant by Official Nu Skin.
Shopee is a mobile-first social marketplace where everyone can browse, shop and sell anytime, anywhere. It is a platform tailored for Southeast Asia, combining the authenticity of a customer-to-customer (C2C) marketplace. with payment and logistical support, making online shopping easy, secure and fuss-free.
51 results returned as I searched for “LumiSpa” on Shopee, some stated “warranty provided”. (We will talk about this in the later part of this article).
Option 6: TaoBao 淘宝网
Risk of purchase: ★★★★★
Reason of Risk: Unauthorized Seller – Your purchase is not warrant by Official Nu Skin.
Taobao (Chinese: 淘宝网) is a Chinese online shopping website, headquartered in Hangzhou, China, and is a subsidiary of Alibaba Group.
There’s countless of offers being returned when I searched for LumiSpa on Taobao.com 😂 There’s only one thing I can be sure that these, are all going to be shipped from China, which I think these search result is only useful to people that’s residing in the China itself.
Summary
Now let’s see what these means. I am just going to pick one VERY IMPORTANT reason why you should not, even though you could or would, buy from these e-commerce platforms.
Many might not know but every Nu Skin distributor knew, that anyone that sell on the Amazon, eBay, Lazada, Taobao, Shopee, Carousell, 11-Street, or any mass-sellers selling platforms, are actually risking their distributorship to be there. These sellers will have to disguise their identity from the public when they sell on these unauthorised websites / platforms. There is no way that they could offer buyers the product of it’s warranty or guarantee buyer’s satisfactory of the product if applicable, buyers will not be able to exercise the return policy if they ever need to, simply because sellers on these unauthorised platforms will never able to provide buyer the order number of the product delivered, while buyer need exactly that for warranty claims. This is because the order number will expose the seller’s identity, the company would void their distributorship immediately once they identified the individual. The struggle is true that you will never able to purchase Nu Skin products with it’s warranty from these platforms.
There are more reasons why you should always purchase LumiSpa from authorised entities, but in this blog I’m only going to share what’s essential. And no matter where you decide to buy your LumiSpa from, there’s one unavoidable step – You must test your skins to find out what is your skins type before you buy your LumiSpa.
