Why: The lowest-ranked Neutrogena product is this "supercakey," unflattering foundation. "It accentuated every line, wrinkle, flaw I had," reports one reviewer. "It was hard to apply, first off," adds another. "Then it didn't last very long at all. It made my skin look very oily." All things considered, this product is a must-toss.
