THREE International Review 2026 – Legit MLM Company?

Welcome to my THREE International review!

Someone close to you has probably mentioned THREE International recently. Maybe they showed you supplements in sleek packaging and talked about “liposome encapsulation technology.”

Perhaps they used words like “neurocosmetics” or promised that these products have superior absorption compared to everything else on the market. They might have painted an exciting picture of earning income through eight different streams while building a wellness business from home.

If any of this rings a bell, you’re doing the right thing by researching before making any decisions. This review will walk you through what THREE International really is, what they’re selling, how the business actually works, and most importantly, what you can realistically expect if you decide to join.

What You Need to Know Upfront

Before we dive deeper, here’s the essential truth you need to understand: THREE International operates as a Multi-Level Marketing company. For those unfamiliar with this term, here’s what it means in straightforward language.

You can earn money in two primary ways. First, you sell products directly to customers and collect commissions on those sales. Second, you recruit others to become sellers, and when they make sales, you earn a percentage of their revenue, too.

When those people recruit others, you can potentially earn from those sales as well. This creates multiple “levels” of earning potential—hence the name.

Throughout this review, we’ll be completely transparent about how this structure operates at THREE International and what it truly means for your chances of success.

The Company’s Controversial Origins

The Vasayo Connection

THREE International launched in 2023, but calling it a “new” company doesn’t tell the whole story. To understand THREE, you need to know about Vasayo—the company that came before it.

Vasayo was founded in 2016 by Dallin Larsen, who previously founded MonaVie (another MLM that eventually collapsed). Vasayo sold liposome-encapsulated supplements and operated for several years. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, everything fell apart.

The Sudden Collapse

In February 2023, Vasayo informed its distributors that the company was shutting down. Distributors woke up one day to find their business essentially vaporized. Points were flushed. Products were discounted. People who had invested thousands of dollars in building their Vasayo business suddenly had nothing.

Many distributors felt betrayed. According to reports and comments from former Vasayo members, they felt “sold out” by leadership. Some had recruited friends and family into the business, and now they had to face those people with the embarrassing news that the opportunity had vanished.

The “Reboot” That Wasn’t Really New

Within weeks of Vasayo’s collapse, Daniel Picou—one of Vasayo’s co-founders—announced a “reboot” called THREE International. The company officially launched in March 2023, headquartered in Lehi, Utah, with Picou as CEO.

Here’s where things get interesting. According to multiple reports and comments from distributors, THREE appeared to be essentially the same company with a new name. The products looked remarkably similar, just with new labels.

The compensation structure was familiar. Many of the same top distributors who had been with Vasayo simply moved over to THREE.

However, there was a catch. Former Vasayo distributors couldn’t just transfer their business. Instead, they had to purchase new starter packs—meaning another investment of hundreds or thousands of dollars—to get back into the game. This didn’t sit well with many people who had just lost their investment in Vasayo.

What This Means for You

Why does this history matter if you’re considering joining THREE today? Because it reveals important information about how the company operates and treats its distributors. When a company collapses and immediately “reboots” under a slightly different name, requiring people to buy back in, that raises serious questions about business stability and leadership priorities.

Furthermore, THREE is barely two years old as of this writing. The company hasn’t established a long track record of stability.

You’re being asked to invest your time, money, and personal reputation into a very young company led by people whose previous company collapsed unexpectedly.

What THREE International Actually Sells

The Product Line Overview

THREE markets dietary supplements and skincare products. The company claims to use “advanced absorption technologies,” particularly liposome encapsulation, which it says makes its products superior to competitors’. Products can be purchased individually or in packs, and customers can join a monthly Smart Ship subscription for discounts.

Let’s break down what you’d actually be selling.

The Supplement Line

Revíve ($72, or $64.80 on Smart Ship) is marketed for joint support and mobility. The formula includes curcumin, boswellia, black cumin oil, grape seed extract, shiitake mushroom extract, sea buckthorn oil, and piperine. The product claims to help ease muscle stiffness and promote exercise recovery.

These ingredients do have some research supporting anti-inflammatory effects. Curcumin and boswellia, in particular, have been studied for joint health. However, you can find similar formulations from non-MLM brands for significantly less money.

Purifí ($70, or $63 on Smart Ship) is marketed as a detox formula. The company claims it detoxifies five organs, eliminates heavy metals, and increases nutrient absorption. Ingredients include fulvic acid, liposomal milk thistle, burdock root, kelp, coriander leaf, dandelion root, chlorophyllin, and mullein leaf.

Here’s where we need to talk honestly. The supplement industry’s use of “detox” terminology is controversial. Your liver and kidneys already detoxify your body—that’s what they do. While some of these ingredients (like milk thistle) have traditional use for liver support, the idea that you need a supplement to “eliminate heavy metals” isn’t supported by mainstream medicine unless you have diagnosed heavy metal poisoning requiring medical treatment.

Imúne ($70, or $63 on Smart Ship) is an immune-support supplement containing various mushroom extracts and botanical polysaccharides. The product claims to support both innate and adaptive immune systems as well as the microbiome.

Mushroom extracts have gained popularity in wellness circles. Some research suggests certain mushrooms may support immune function. However, the claims about supporting “adaptive immunity” and “quorum sensing” venture into complex scientific territory that requires careful substantiation.

Kynetik Clean Caffeine ($85, or $76.50 on Smart Ship) is a plant-based caffeine drink mix. Marketing claims include “no jitters,” brain and adrenal support, and hydration. The formula contains yerba santa and green tea extract for caffeine, rhodiola, grape polyphenols, ginsenosides, B vitamins, and an electrolyte blend.

This is essentially an energy drink powder. You can find comparable products at health food stores for half the price. The “no jitters” claim is common in the supplement industry, though caffeine affects everyone differently, regardless of the source.

Vitalité ($85, or $76.50 on Smart Ship) is a comprehensive multivitamin with a superfood blend. The formula includes spirulina, kale, spinach, vitamins A through K, 72 trace minerals, enzymes, probiotics, a berry blend, and an omega-3 complex softgel.

This is basically a premium multivitamin. Quality multivitamins are available from many reputable brands at lower price points. The “72 trace minerals” claim sounds impressive but isn’t necessarily meaningful—your body only needs trace amounts of certain minerals, and getting them from a varied diet is typically sufficient.

Collagène ($70, or $63 on Smart Ship) is a marine collagen drink claiming to deliver 5 grams of marine collagen per serving. Additional ingredients include pomegranate juice, keratin, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and biotin. Marketing focuses on skin, hair, nails, and joint health.

Collagen supplements have become extremely popular. Research does support that collagen peptides may benefit skin elasticity and joint health. However, the market is flooded with collagen products at various price points. THREE’s pricing is on the higher end.

Éternel ($130, or $117 on Smart Ship) is their most expensive supplement—an antioxidant blend using liposomal delivery. Ingredients include resveratrol, various superfruits, glutathione, CoQ10, and marine collagen. Marketing emphasizes protecting cells from free radicals and promoting longevity.

At $130, this is premium pricing for an antioxidant supplement. While the ingredients have various degrees of research support, the “longevity” claims venture into territory that requires extremely careful substantiation. No supplement has been proven to extend human lifespan.

The Skincare Line (Visage)

Visage Pure Cleanse ($75, or $67.50 on Smart Ship) is marketed as a gentle cleanser that maintains the skin’s moisture barrier. Ingredients include plantago major leaf extract, jojoba oil, allantoin, and glycerin.

This facial cleanser is priced at $75. Quality facial cleansers from established skincare brands typically cost $15-30. The premium pricing reflects the MLM distribution model.

Visage Radiant Toner ($54, or $48.60 on Smart Ship) is a hydrating toner claiming to use “quorum-sensing technology.” Marketing states it hydrates, reduces pores, and maintains pH balance. Ingredients include niacinamide, beta-glucan, plantago major leaf extract, and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate.

Niacinamide and beta-glucan are legitimate skincare ingredients with research support. However, the “quorum-sensing technology” claim requires examination. Quorum sensing is a biological phenomenon related to bacterial communication. Applying this concept to skincare ventures into scientifically questionable territory.

The company also markets Visage Super Serum, Visage Crème Caviar, and other skincare products priced from $85 to $380.

The Science Problem

THREE heavily emphasize “liposome encapsulation” and “absorption technology,” claiming superior bioavailability compared to other supplements. Additionally, their skincare line promotes “neurocosmetic” benefits, suggesting products can boost positive mood.

Here’s the issue. A trade journal article about THREE’s skincare noted that scientific evidence connecting skincare to mood remains sparse. The article cited research concluding that neurocosmetic products cannot regulate mood because active ingredients applied to skin don’t enter the bloodstream.

Critics on social media and in MLM watchdog communities have described THREE’s marketing as “chock full of pseudoscience babble.” They note a lack of credible peer-reviewed studies specifically validating THREE’s unique claims about their products.

While liposomes are a legitimate delivery technology used in some pharmaceutical applications, the supplement industry’s use of liposomal delivery often lacks the rigorous testing required in pharmaceuticals. Claims of dramatically superior absorption require substantial scientific evidence, which THREE hasn’t made publicly available.

The True Cost of Getting Started

The Initial Investment

Unlike some MLMs that advertise “free to join,” THREE is upfront about requiring payment. Prospective distributors (called Brand Ambassadors) must pay a one-time $30 enrollment fee plus purchase one of four Starter Packs.

According to distributor training materials, here are the packs and what your sponsor earns when you buy them:

Intro Pack: 100 CV (approximately $200)

• Your sponsor earns $25 Product Introduction Bonus

Premium Pack: 300 CV (approximately $600)

• Your sponsor earns $100 Product Introduction Bonus

Business Builder Pack: 680 CV (approximately $1,360)

• Your sponsor earns $245 Product Introduction Bonus

Founder Pack: 980 CV (approximately $1,960)

• Your sponsor earns $350 Product Introduction Bonus

Notice something important? When you purchase a Founder Pack for nearly $2,000, your sponsor immediately earns $350. This creates a strong incentive for recruiters to push expensive packs on new distributors, regardless of whether those packs are appropriate for the person’s situation.

The Monthly Requirement

To remain commission-qualified, Brand Ambassadors must maintain 60 CV of personal or customer orders every four weeks. This isn’t a monthly cycle—it’s every four weeks, meaning 13 cycles per year instead of 12.

The company strongly encourages enrolling in Smart Ship (auto-ship). Training materials explicitly warn that failing to maintain Smart Ship may cause you to miss commissions. Based on product pricing, maintaining 60 CV likely means spending $70-100 every four weeks, or approximately $900-1,300 annually.

Let’s be clear about what this means. You’ll probably become your own best customer, especially in the beginning. Month after month, you’ll receive supplements and skincare products. You’ll accumulate inventory that you personally don’t need or want, but you’ll keep the auto-ship going because stopping means losing commission eligibility.

What Former Vasayo Distributors Say

Many former Vasayo distributors have been vocal about their experience with the transition to THREE. Common complaints include:

• Feeling “sold out” when Vasayo collapsed without warning
• Being required to purchase another expensive pack to rejoin under THREE
• Believing they were essentially buying the same products with new labels
• Frustration with leadership decisions that prioritized the company over distributors
• Anger about recruiting friends and family into Vasayo, only to have the company collapse

One former distributor commented that they were told to “have faith in the process” as Vasayo struggled, and later had to apologize to everyone they had recruited when the company shut down. Others stated they refused to buy another expensive package to rejoin what they viewed as essentially the same company with a new name.

How the Money Supposedly Flows

Eight Ways to Earn (In Theory)

THREE markets its compensation plan as offering “eight ways to earn.” Let’s examine each one and what they actually require.

1. Retail Commissions

In certain markets (USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Philippines), distributors earn 25% of the purchase price when customers order through their replicated website. This happens daily.

This is straightforward retail profit. However, remember those premium prices we discussed. You’re asking customers to pay $72 for Revíve, $130 for Éternel, or $75 for a facial cleanser when comparable products exist at lower prices. Finding customers willing to pay these premiums is the challenge your upline probably won’t emphasize.

2. Preferred Customer Acquisition Bonus

Customers who pay a $30 annual fee become “preferred customers” and receive wholesale pricing. When they order, you earn a Preferred Customer Acquisition Bonus of 30% of the order’s commissionable volume.

Here’s the catch: these customer orders don’t count toward your active status. You still need your own 60 CV every four weeks separately.

3. Product Introduction Bonus

This is the big one-time payment when you recruit someone and they purchase a starter pack. We already covered this: $25 for Intro Pack, $100 for Premium, $245 for Business Builder, or $350 for Founder.

Notice how the compensation structure heavily rewards recruitment, particularly recruiting people who buy expensive packs. You can earn more from one Founder Pack recruit ($350) than you might earn in months of retail sales to regular customers. This naturally pushes distributors toward recruitment rather than retail sales.

4. Team Commissions (Binary Cycles)

This is the core of THREE’s compensation plan and where things get complex. You must be “active” (60 CV) and have at least one active recruit on each of your two legs.

Every time 300 CV accumulates on your lesser leg and 600 CV on your greater leg, a “cycle” is created and you earn $35. If you have at least 10 active customers generating 1,000 CV in a four-week period, the cycle bonus increases to $45.

There’s a cap of 500 cycles per week ($17,500), which increases to 600 cycles if you reach certain ranks.

The binary structure requires constant balancing. If one leg produces massive volume while the other is weak, you don’t maximize earnings. You’re perpetually trying to balance growth between both sides while recruiting and managing where new people get placed. It’s complicated, time-consuming, and requires a large, active organization.

5. Leadership Matching Bonus

Starting at the 1Star rank, you can earn a percentage of your downline’s team commissions. The bonus begins at 20% on the first generation and extends up to seven generations as your rank increases.

To unlock an extra 10% on the first generation, you need 10 active personal customers generating 1,000 CV. Reaching higher ranks and accessing deeper generations requires building substantial team volume.

6. Global Leadership Bonus Pool

Top ranks (4Star and higher) share 3% of worldwide commissionable volume each week. The number of shares you earn depends on your rank and personal/group performance.

This sounds attractive, but reaching 4-Star rank requires massive team volume across multiple legs. For 99% of distributors, this bonus will remain permanently out of reach.

7. Founder’s Pool

Distributors who purchased a limited-time Founder Pack share 2% of the global CV each week. This creates urgency and exclusivity around the most expensive enrollment option. However, as the pool gets diluted with more Founders, individual share value decreases.

8. Rank Advancement Bonuses

These are one-time cash bonuses paid when you achieve and maintain a new rank. They range from $100 for the first rank to $250,000 for the highest rank.

The rank chart requires 300 CV on each leg for 1Star, 400 CV per leg for 2Star, and progressively more as you advance. Higher ranks require enormous personal group volume and multiple active “Star” legs. For perspective, reaching the level where you’d earn that $250,000 bonus requires building an organization generating hundreds of thousands in monthly volume.

The Savings Bonus Trap

Similar to other MLM companies we’ve reviewed, THREE offers a “Savings Bonus” in which 15% of your base commissions are withheld in a savings account. When you accumulate $10,000, you receive a lump-sum bonus, then $500 per week thereafter.

This sounds like forced savings. In reality, it’s a retention mechanism. That 15% is your earned money, but you can’t access it until you hit $10,000. Most distributors quit before reaching this threshold, and THREE keeps those withheld funds.

What Industry Statistics Reveal

The Uncomfortable Reality

Let’s discuss what your recruiter probably won’t mention. Extensive research by economists, consumer advocates, and government agencies has examined the MLM industry. The findings are consistently sobering.

Research indicates that approximately 73-99% of people who join MLM companies either lose money or make no profit. Even among the roughly 25% who do make some profit, earnings tend to be extremely modest. Studies show that half of these profitable participants earn less than $370 per year—for an entire year of work.

About 50% of MLM participants quit within their first year. By the five-year mark, approximately 90% have exited. Only about 3-4% of MLM participants ever earn $25,000 or more annually, and less than 1% earn over $100,000 per year.

Why THREE Won’t Be Different

Your upline will insist that THREE is different regarding quality of products and compensation plans. However, every MLM company makes these same claims.

THREE operates using the same fundamental business model as thousands of other MLM companies. The statistics don’t care about liposome encapsulation or daily commission payments. The mathematical reality remains unchanged.

In pyramid-shaped structures where most people occupy the bottom, most people cannot succeed. There simply aren’t enough customers outside the network to support everyone. The model only works when most participants also function as customers, meaning most people spend more than they earn.

Furthermore, THREE is barely two years old and emerged from the collapse of Vasayo. The company hasn’t published income disclosure statements, so we don’t know what their distributors actually earn. However, given the identical business model and structure, there’s no particular reason to expect dramatically different outcomes from the broader MLM industry.

The Vasayo Factor

The fact that THREE emerged from Vasayo’s collapse adds another layer of risk. Companies can and do fail, even when they have products and active distributors. When Vasayo shut down in early 2023, distributors lost their businesses overnight. This could happen again.

Building an MLM business requires years of effort, yet the company you’re building with could potentially collapse or pivot at any time. You don’t own your customer relationships—the company does. You don’t own your team—the company does. You’re essentially building on rented land.

Real Voices from the Field

The Positive Testimonials

Company-affiliated websites feature testimonials from Brand Ambassadors who describe positive experiences. Common themes include spending more time with family, achieving “life freedom,” and building international businesses by sharing products. These testimonials emphasize a supportive community, accessible tools, and the idea that success only requires “enthusiasm and a willingness to succeed.”

These testimonials represent real experiences for some people. However, every MLM company has positive testimonials. Successful distributors who naturally earn money feel positive and are vocal about their experience. Meanwhile, the 95% who lose money or make minimal profit rarely write public testimonials about their negative experiences.

The Critical Voices

Many former Vasayo distributors view THREE with significant skepticism. Comments from MLM watchdog communities describe the Vasayo shutdown and THREE relaunch as problematic at best.

One former distributor stated they felt “sold out” by leadership and refused to buy another expensive package to rejoin what they viewed as essentially the same company. Another shared that they had to apologize to everyone they recruited when Vasayo collapsed. Others complained about poor leadership, expensive products, and limited retail demand from customers outside the MLM network.

The Science Skeptics

Health professionals and industry analysts have questioned THREE’s scientific claims. A trade journal article about the Visage skincare line noted that “neurocosmetic” mood-boosting claims lack scientific support. The article cited research concluding that skincare products cannot alter mood because active substances applied to skin don’t reach the bloodstream in meaningful amounts.

Anti-MLM commentators have described THREE’s marketing as heavy on pseudoscience. They note the lack of peer-reviewed studies specifically validating the company’s unique claims about superior absorption technology. While liposomes are used in some pharmaceutical applications, the supplement industry’s use of liposomal delivery often lacks rigorous testing.

Who Might Find Success (A Realistic Assessment)

The Success Profile

If you’re still considering THREE after everything we’ve discussed, here’s an honest assessment of who has the best chance:

Previous MLM success is the strongest predictor. If you’ve already built a profitable network marketing business elsewhere, you understand the skills, time commitment, and emotional resilience required. You’re far more likely to succeed than someone completely new to MLM.

Exceptional sales abilities are essential. You need comfort with constant rejection, skill at building and maintaining relationships, and the ability to present products enthusiastically even when you personally question the scientific claims.

A substantial social network provides critical advantages. You need people to recruit and people to sell to. If your social circle is limited or you’ve already approached them about previous opportunities, THREE will be extraordinarily difficult.

Significant financial resources matter. You should be able to invest $2,000-$5,000 in the first year without financial stress. This includes enrollment packs, monthly auto-ship, training materials, company events, and marketing expenses. If this investment would strain your finances, don’t join.

Substantial time availability is required. Expect to dedicate 15-30 hours per week while maintaining other income. This won’t replace full-time income for at least a year, if ever.

Realistic expectations are absolutely crucial. This is a high-risk venture with no guarantee of profit. It’s not a path to quick wealth or passive income. It requires constant work, recruitment, and sales activity.

If several of these characteristics don’t describe you, THREE is probably not the right opportunity.

Critical Questions to Ask

Before making any financial commitment, sit down with your potential sponsor and ask:

• What’s the exact cost to get started, including the enrollment fee and the recommended starter pack?
• How much have you personally earned each month for the past 12 months? (Request documentation, not just verbal claims)
• How much have you spent on products, training, events, and business expenses during that same period?
• What percentage of your purchases are for personal use versus sold to external customers?
• How many people have you recruited, and what percentage remain active after one year?
• How many hours weekly do you work on this business?
• Can you show me THREE’s income disclosure statement? (Spoiler: it probably doesn’t exist)
• What happened to your Vasayo business when that company collapsed?
• Did you have to buy a new pack to join THREE?
• What happens if I can’t maintain the 60 CV requirement every four weeks?
• Can I succeed focusing only on retail sales without recruiting?

If responses are defensive, vague, or dismissive, that tells you something important about what you’re getting into.

Better Alternatives to Consider

Before committing to THREE, consider these alternatives that typically offer better odds of success:

E-commerce allows you to operate your own online store with complete control over pricing, products, and customer relationships—no recruitment required.

Affiliate marketing lets you promote products from various companies for commissions without monthly purchase requirements or recruiting quotas.

Professional consulting or coaching based on your actual skills and expertise generates income from your knowledge rather than recruitment.

Traditional retail partnerships with established wellness brands often provide wholesale accounts without multi-level structures.

Content creation through YouTube, blogs, or social media can generate income through multiple streams without depending on a potentially unstable MLM company.

These alternatives typically feature lower ongoing costs, no mandatory monthly purchases, more business control, and models that don’t strain personal relationships.

The Bottom Line

Understanding What You’re Really Considering

THREE International is a legally operating MLM company. It’s not an illegal pyramid scheme. However, legality and quality opportunity are entirely different considerations.

The company emerged in 2023 from the collapse of Vasayo. Many former Vasayo distributors felt betrayed when their previous company shut down suddenly, then felt pressured to buy expensive new packs to rejoin under THREE. This history raises serious questions about business stability and leadership priorities.

The products are priced at premium levels. Scientific claims about superior absorption technology and “neurocosmetics” lack substantial peer-reviewed evidence. Health professionals and industry analysts have questioned the scientific basis of marketing claims. You can find comparable products at significantly lower prices.

The 60 CV monthly requirement creates ongoing purchase pressure. Most distributors likely spend more maintaining qualification than they earn in commissions. The compensation plan heavily incentivizes recruitment over retail sales. The binary structure requires constant balancing and management. The 15% savings withholding creates a threshold most distributors never reach.

THREE is barely two years old and hasn’t published income disclosure statements. You’re being asked to invest substantial time, money, and personal reputation in a very young company with a questionable origin story.

What This Really Means for You

For 99% of people considering THREE, the statistics strongly suggest you’ll spend more than you earn. The business model is high-risk, requires a significant investment, and offers a statistically low chance of profitability.

The model faces the same mathematical limitations as all MLM companies. Most people in pyramid-shaped structures are at the bottom, where success is nearly impossible. The “eight ways to earn” all require substantial personal volume and aggressive team building. Positive community feelings don’t pay your bills or reimburse your auto-ship expenses.

Our Strong Recommendation

For most readers, the safest choice is extreme caution or selecting a different opportunity entirely.

Those who genuinely want the products can remain customers without becoming distributors. This eliminates qualification pressures and recruitment requirements. However, comparable products at better prices likely exist elsewhere.

Those attracted primarily to the business opportunity should view this as a serious warning. Industry statistics overwhelmingly predict failure. Costs compound. Time commitment grows. Relationship strain is real. The added risk of company instability (as demonstrated by Vasayo’s collapse) makes this particularly concerning.

If you still decide to proceed despite these warnings:

• Start at the minimum level, not expensive packs your upline pushes
• Set strict financial boundaries and track every expense meticulously.
• Evaluate by actual profit after all costs, not revenue.
• Give yourself a limited trial period (6-12 months) with clear exit criteria.
• Protect relationships and avoid making unsubstantiated scientific claims.
• Get everything in writing and verify information independently.
• Base decisions on facts and realistic expectations, not enthusiasm and hype

Remember that sustainable business success requires time, skill, effort, and often favorable circumstances. Be cautious of anyone suggesting otherwise.
