Hydrate & Tone

Dual Cleanse

Skincare That Works

Introducing an innovative skincare line with barley seed extract as the base ingredient for all three products formulated the perfect REPLY to nutrition that works: skincare that works to promote healthy, luminous skin.

In three gentle steps using the cleanser, essence/ toner and cream, REPLY skincare thoroughly cleanses, hydrates, tones, moisturizes and protects your skin. The nourishing results enhance skin barrier function, the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin. By revitalizing the extracellular skin matrix, REPLY has a dramatic impact on skin appearance and health.

REPLY Oil to Foam Cleanser: Step 1

The 2-in-1 formulation of REPLY Oil to Foam Cleanser delivers a dual cleanse, providing a gentle yet deep facial cleanse that nourishes your skin as you wash it.

By applying the cleanser to wet skin and massaging your face in circular movements using your fingertips, REPLY begins as a gel, providing the oil base that can carry away skin impurities, dissolve excess sebum and remove even the most stubborn makeup.

As you massage your wet skin with REPLY, the water transforms the oil-based gel into a foam that lathers your skin with nourishment from REPLY skincare’s signature ingredient, barley seed extract, as well as botanicals that include gotu kola extract and coconut oil.

Cleansing and nourishing, REPLY maintains the natural moisture barrier of your skin, leaving it feeling refreshed, soft and supple.

REPLY Essence/Toner: Step 2

The premium formulation of REPLY Essence/Toner strengthens your skin’s natural moisture barrier as it hydrates and nourishes, amplifying and streamlining your skincare routine.

After cleansing, misting with REPLY Essence/Toner and massaging its water-based combination of soothing and nourishing ingredients enhances your skin’s moisture levels, promoting a hydrated complexion.

Based with barley seed extract, the blend of Essence/Toner ingredients, including mushroom extract, saccharomyces ferment filtrate and sodium hyaluronate, boosts collagen synthesis, fades dark spots, tightens pores and tones skin, just to name a few benefits.

The essence in REPLY adds the presence of active ingredients that hydrate, protect and boost overall skin health while the toner balances skin pH as it refreshes and soothes skin. The combined essence and toner primes your skin for the third step in REPLY skincare.

REPLY Day & Night Cream: Step 3

The round-the-clock formulation of REPLY Day & Night Cream hydrates and nourishes your skin all day and night, protecting against environmental stressors in the daytime and rejuvenating your skin during the nighttime.

Following a morning and evening REPLY cleanse and mist, massaging REPLY Day & Night Cream into your neck and face using upward and outward circular motions completes the third step of skincare that works.

With a base of inflammation-fighting barley seed extract and moisturizing shea butter, Day & Night Cream introduces a variety of carefully selected ingredients, including antioxidant-rich wasabi root extract, lipidreplenishing ceramide NP and anti-wrinkle acetyl hexapeptide-8. The unique REPLY formulation seals in moisture, tightens skin and reduces the expression of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a healthy, youthful-looking complexion.

REPLY Day & Night Cream works day and night at providing skin protection and rejuvenation, bringing your routine of barley seed based skincare full circle.

The reply of Barley Seed Extract

Ever since the first whispers in 2023 about something new from AIM, the question left hanging in the air for Members and Customers has been, “What will the new products be?” The pioneering reply to that question is the line of REPLY Skincare

In a way, this new trio of products brings the AIM Family full circle, given that the barley seed launched The AIM Companies™ in 1982 and now REPLY in 2024. First came the nutrient-dense barley leaf juice powder that nourishes and protects from the inside out. Now the barley seed extract in REPLY nourishes and protects from the outside in. Your skin asked, this is our reply.

Barley Seed Extract (Hordeum vulgare)

mechanisms and stress response, thereby promoting the regeneration and revitalization of skin.

The use of barley seed extract as a primary ingredient in REPLY Oil to Foam Cleanser, Essence/ Toner and Day & Night Cream introduces the beneficial core from which barley leaves grow. And just like barley leaf juice powder, one of the key benefits of the seed extract is that it helps to reduce inflammation, which can cause redness, irritation and aging of the skin.

The nourishing and revitalizing presence of barley seed extract in REPLY Oil to Foam Cleanser, Essence/ Toner and Day & Night Cream is the perfect reply to the question, “What’s best for my skin?”

Get Moving Toward the AIM Royal Oak Trip

Something new is in the air. A unique contest that is a first for AIM Members. To be a part of the AIM Royal Oak Trip, be very active through August 31, 2024. That way you could be 1 of 12 winners heading to the state of Maryland this October for an all-inclusive, 4-night getaway for two at Moofy’s Farmhouse in Royal Oak, October 3-7, 2024.

The contest involves two activities for earning points: advance and maintain. Wherever you are in your business-building journey with AIM, you can be on your way to winning.

Advance

As an AIM Wholesale Member, there’s only one way to go, and that direction is up!

To earn your very first point, advance to Preferred Member: accumulate a total of 600 Group Volume (GV) within 3 consecutive months. You can become a Preferred Member in less time by sponsoring new Members and Customers who help you reach 600 GV even faster. And as soon as you reach Preferred Member status, you can earn monthly commissions by placing qualifying orders of at least 50 Personal Volume (PV), which is also the minimum for advancing to Preferred Member.

To earn 10 points, advance to Group Builder: accumulate a total of 3,000 Group Volume (GV) within 3 consecutive months. You can also become a Group Builder in fewer months, depending on the number of people you sponsor and the size of orders they place. And advancing to this new title means you can earn increased monthly commissions by placing qualifying orders of at least 100 Personal Volume (PV), which is also the minimum for advancing to Group Builder.

To earn 30 points, advance to Director: accumulate a total of 6,000 Group Volume (GV) within 3 consecutive months and have a minimum of 3 active Members and/or Customers who each place orders of at least 75 PV. As a Director, you can start earning the top monthly commissions by placing qualifying orders of at least 150 Personal Volume (PV), which is also the minimum for advancing to Director.

Keep in mind that with each title advance, your direct Sponsor can get an equal number of points as you. It’s called teamwork.

Maintain

As soon as you become a Director, the contest activity involving title maintenance begins. Maintaining your Director title during the contest period increases your point total and the opportunity to win an AIM Royal Oak Trip.

To earn 30 points, maintain your Director title during your first month: accumulate a minimum of 2,000 Group Volume (GV) and have at least 5 active Members and/or Customers who each place orders of at least 75 PV.

To earn 30 more points, continue maintaining your Director title during your second consecutive month: accumulate a minimum of 2,000 Group Volume (GV) and have at least 5 active Members and/or Customers who place orders of at least 75 PV.

Points earned from your title maintenance activity can also earn an equal amount for your direct Sponsor, bringing your team closer to Moofy’s Farmhouse in October 2024 . . . so get moving!

AIM = Healthy Family

Guess what? It’s winter and the children aren’t even sick, not even a cold. In prior winters, the children and I were always sick until warmer weather came. Now, they’re even running around barefoot! The only thing different we’re doing is giving the children AIM products like BarleyLife Xtra among others.

When our baby was born, she was a very fussy baby. My sponsor suggested we try BarleyLife with the powder from FloraFood. I mixed a small amount of the powders with a little water and started her on them daily. Since then, she’s been my happiest baby yet.

Immune System Support from Herbal Release

I woke up with a congested, sore throat and stuffy nose one morning and knew I was coming down with a cold. Even though I had been taking the Garden Trio, Herbal Fiberblend and FloraFood as usual, I decided to take a proactive approach.

I had read that Herbal Release helps support a healthy lymphatic system which is integral to maintaining the immune system, so I began taking 2 capsules of Herbal Release with lots of water. I did this for a week and then stopped. I was amazed at the quick results. Within three days, I felt so much better. All my cold symptoms went away. Wow! That’s like AIM keeps its promise.

AIM Product Overview Over the Years

This month marks a landmark moment in the history of AIM. Fortytwo years ago, American Image Marketing (AIM) came officially into being on April 8, 1982. It all began as a result of an incredibly nutritious powder sourced from green fields of young barley leaves.

The demand for AIM Barleygreen (predecessor of AIM BarleyLife) created the rise of a company grown by Members, who distributed this unique source of nutrition that works at maintaining wholebody health, right down to the cellular level.

BarleyLife

5809E, $51.50 M, $55.00 C (CAN 5815E, $53.25 M, $56.00 C)

The AIM Healthy Cell Concept released in 1983 aimed a focus on the idea of keeping your cells healthy by integrating lifestyle habits that include the unparalleled source of nutrients and phytonutrients in barley leaf powder. More AIM products that target specific areas of health support would follow in the years to come.

In year six of AIM history, the product lineup began expanding with the 1988 release of Herbal Fiberblend to target digestive health and Coenzyme Q10 (predecessor to CellSparc 360) to target heart health. Support for neuro health launched Composure in 1989 while memory-boosting Ginkgo (predecessor to GinkgoSense) was introduced a year later in 1990.

It is important to note that having product predecessors says a lot about AIM continuing to make products even better, whenever advancements in research and technology allow. A past success has not stopped AIM from pursuing further product improvements in a variety of ways, including enhancements in crop growth and harvesting, vegan certifications, reformulations or the discovery of new ingredients.

As time progressed, so did the AIM product lineup. Here are some of the key changes:

1991 Just Carrots juice powder that enhances whole-body health

1993 RediBeets juice powder for improving health of the entire body

Herbal Release targeting immune and lymphatic system health

1994 Proancynol (predecessor to Proancynol 2000) for immune system support

Garden Trio for a money-saving pack of 3 different plant-based juice powders

1995 CranVerry (predecessor to CranVerry+) to target urinary tract health

1996 Bear Paw Garlic (predecessor to GarlicAIM) that supports cardio health

CellSparc 360 to advance the original heart health formulation

Renewed Balance for a soothing, plant-based body cream

1997 ReAssure (predecessor to ReAssure SP) targeting prostate health

Para 90 that focuses on eliminating body parasites

1999 FloraFood to improve gut health with probiotics

Frame Essentials for joint health support

PrepZymes to target support for digestion

Proancynol 2000 with improved antioxidant formulation for the immune system
