How I went broke trusting a tiktoker!

Everyone on tiktok always be like there are no brands that makes bad products and I'd be like "What?!". For a girl with oily and sensitive skin my skin reacts to anything and not in a good way! Tell me why someone recommended the brand SIMPLE. Saying their products are nice and calm that they won't cause breakouts but I wake up the next morning and meet lots of breakouts. What did I do wrong? Let's not forget the fact that I used the last money on me to get those things! Someone send help!!

Too often we forget that reviews are based on personal experience and nothing more. What may work for one person doesn't necessarily mean it will work for another. However, it's always a huge disappointment to have purchased a product that failed to meet our expectations.

Please don’t spend the last of your money just because a tiktoker said a product is the best. Skincare products don’t work for every single person and we have to keep that in mind. See if you can return it to the store for a refund

I'm really sorry this happened to you. I honestly wouldn't recommend this brand. It's very badic and inelegant in my opinion. But a skincare review depends on the skin. If you can find someone with a very similar skin type and conditions, that's your best bet. But even then people have and develop different issues to different chemicals. It's trial and error for everybody.

Every skin is different, what works for me might not work on your skin. That doesn't mean that this Tiktoker scammed you (nobody forced you to spend the last of your money on skincare products, you've spend it yourself) so saying you went broke by trusting a Tiktoker seems a little bit like a stretch to me. Those products might be her holy grails but that doesn't necessarily makes them yours too. Also, everyone knows to take a patch test before applying new skincare products, right? So this might sound harsh and I'm really sorry to say this, but I feel like you kinda did it to yourself. In the future, think twice before spending the last of your money on skincare products. I absolutely love skincare, I really do, but take it from me, if it's the last money you have, you're better off spending it on food or other real necessities.

I have other necessities, it's just the last money for miscellaneous. The tiktoker was confident of herself in the brand but I guess it was my fault. Thank you

I didn't like Simple either; horrible quality. I hope you find something according to your needs, and not the current trends.
