I gather this is flourishing. On the face of it, it looks like pyramid selling, which was made illegal, under a new name. Can anyone explain the difference?

I'm not sure there is an easily measurable difference, both are generally structured as multi-level distribution, with lower tiers earning money for the people who recruited them.
The difference is that one is genuinely designed as a sustainable business to distribute product, which means that the lowest tier should be able to make money, the other doesn't depend on that for the people at the top who enrich themselves simply by recruiting the lower tiers. If joining necessitates buying a load of stock then it's more likely to be a pyramid scheme.
Avon, Kleeneze, Ann Summers are well known MLM companies. I don't think any of those require any material payments to set up.

Or were in the case of Kleeneze who went bust in April 2018, one day before rivals Betterware suffered the same fate.
Although the latter have restarted after a group of former employees bought the name, but their emphasis seems to have shifted more to online sales now.

Also, in Pyramid selling commission is paid for signing up people. In MLM it is paid for selling product.
