Why it's controversial: Readers seem to agree that this looks "natural," however they don't agree that this is always a good thing. While some say, "this product gives a very natural glow and subtle color," others contend there was "close to no color difference whatsoever on my skin." Some like the moisture level of the lotion and say "this is a great self tanner for those who are new to self tanners," but others say, "I don't feel I really get adequate moisturizing." One thing they can all agree on: they "don't like the smell."

Why it's controversial: Readers had varied results with this. Some say it gave them "length and volume like never before," but others claim, "I have to use several coats just to get some kind of noticeable result." While some say it "flakes off" and is "gloopy and messy," others "haven't had any problems with smudging or flaking." There were also mixed results with removal. Some readers "had no problem" and others found it to be "quite difficult" to remove.

Why it's controversial: While readers do agree that "it does smell wonderful," they differ on almost everything else. Some say this made "hair feel and look greasy," while others say it "actually stripped my hair of moisture, leaving me with dull, rough-looking hair." And still others say it "left my hair silky." It seems everyone had a different experience with this shampoo.

Why it's controversial: Readers seem to either love or hate this product, with some calling it their "holy grail, miracle product," and others saying it's "overrated." While some say it "covers like a dream," others think it "settles into large pores" and "is not really great for hiding lines." There really seems to be no final verdict on whether this is a "must-try" or just "terrible."

Why it's controversial: What are readers divided on most with this? The price. "Even my dermatologist laughed and told me to save my money," one reader says. But others counter that it's a "miracle cream worth every penny!" Fans say this gives them "dramatic improvement overnight" and it is the "anti-aging fountain of youth." But naysayers argue they "haven't seen any difference in my skin" and it "didn't really live up to its larger than life name."

But sometimes readers have extreme opinions on products, or they simply can't agree if a product is worth buying. Here we share the most hotly debated products on TotalBeauty.com. (Note: products are in order of how controversial they are, not their average rating.)
