23 Worst Anti-Aging Skin Care ProductsReaders say these anti-aging skin care products are just expensive moisturizers (at best) -- ouch |
No. 17: Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster, $42 TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 5.8*
Why: Women say, "what a hoax. The last thing I wanted was an expensive product that made me break out. That's exactly what I got with this. It moisturized, I guess, but other than that [it] just gave me crappy skin. NO THANK YOU. I'm so mad at this stuff, I can't even talk anymore." Another reader says it "felt great upon application but after about half-a-week I started to get a splotchy, red, rash-like patch on my face." Another explains, "this has an awesome smell and when you try it in the store you will for sure want to put this on your face and wait for good skin to surface, but alas it is a waste of time and a good smell does not refine the skin at all or brighten it."

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!
