23 Worst Anti-Aging Skin Care ProductsReaders say these anti-aging skin care products are just expensive moisturizers (at best) -- ouch |
No. 1: L'Occitane Immortelle Eye Balm, $34 TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 3.5*
Why: One reader says, while this balm offers "natural benefits to the skin, natural is unfortunately not helpful when fighting dark circles from too much fun or too much stress. You may appear to see a difference due to the light diffuser ingredients, but it disappears quickly and then you are left with a sticky mess." Another woman says, "despite the hype about immortal flowers, this balm did nothing for puffiness or dark circles. It moisturized, but at the cost of REALLY watering eyes. I had to return it." One reader was "expecting more ... mostly because I have used the Immortelle Mask. The eye balm did nothing for my wrinkles, puffiness or dark circles."

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!
