23 Worst Anti-Aging Skin Care ProductsReaders say these anti-aging skin care products are just expensive moisturizers (at best) -- ouch |
No. 23: Cosmedicine MegaDose Skin Fortifying Serum, $60 TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 6*
Why: Readers turned their noses up at the scent of this product: "I got a sample of this and was so excited to try it out. But after applying it to my face I was completely disgusted by the smell. I don't know what this is 'supposed' to do for your skin, but the smell makes me not care. There are other serums you can use to get that silky feel that don't make you gag when you put them on." Another agrees saying she "could not keep this product [on] long enough ... to see any effects. I had to wash it twice to get the smell to go away." One woman could handle the scent, but didn't see results: "With this one I can honestly say that it did nothing to my skin after using it for six weeks ... I even took pictures of my face."

Tanning costs a lot of money and it can cost you your life. However, it is also safe if you do spray tanning which costs $40 a week where I come from. NO NO NO

Thanks, I will definitely steer clear of these. I agree that the L'Oreal products are very greasy and irritated my skin as well.

GREAT info! I've used a few of the products and agree that they aren't worth the price (the Freeze 24/7 and the Dr. Brant neck cream). There are several listed that I have thought of trying but will now refrain from doing so or try a sample first. Likely though, having seen that some of the negative effects didn't occur until after several weeks of use....I may just skip them altogether rather than mess with the samples.

Shows that expensive does not equal results. Perfect

The only one of the aforementioned "Terrible 24" I've used is the Garnier Skin Renew – and I'd have to agree with the review & average star rating. Nothing miraculous by any stretch of the imagination. Also, thankful to not find any Lumene products on this list. Recently began using a few & love them!
