23 Worst Anti-Aging Skin Care ProductsReaders say these anti-aging skin care products are just expensive moisturizers (at best) -- ouch |
19 of 24
Why: Readers say the product "was way too expensive for something that doesn't work." "I had some hyperpigmented spots on my face from monthly breakouts and wanted to fade them. I tried this product and even after 4 months of regular use, I didn't see a difference. The 2 percent Hydroquinone it contains isn't strong enough to alleviate the dark patches." Another says, "I consistently used this product twice a day as suggested for about half a year. Two bottles later, this gel did not reduce a lick of hyperpigmentation or discoloration. I don't have one positive thing to say about this product, and it is not helped by the fact that it is pricey. Overall, the amount of hydroquinone (2 percent) in this is far too weak to yield results."

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!
