Hyped Skincare Products

I couldn’t find a post on this, so I thought this would be a nice discussion topic. What product(s) did you try that everyone seems to recommend/love, but it just didn’t work for you? For me it was Krave Beauty’s Matcha Cleanser 😭. I was so excited to try this, but it left my face dry, tight, and uncomfortable on multiple occasions. Now it just sits on my shelf. Also, The Ordinary’s Azelaic Acid made my face burn and irritates it no matter what I do. I gave up on it 🤷‍♀️. However, I do love KB’s Great Barrier Relief and the Beet Shield!

(Almost) Everything The Ordinary 😒my dislike for that brand grows every day. And most sunscreens that have been highly recommended to me so many I can’t name. And CeraVe! I don’t hate it, it’s reliable and good for when it out of my favorites but what few products I’ve tried were nowhere near as great as everyone promised.

I’m finishing up my bottle of TO niacinimide. I might try another niacinimide serum after it’s empty. Cerave products were okay to me. I don’t think the foaming cleanser helped my face at all. I think there are better products than Cerave

There are a lot of hits and misses with deciem/ the ordinary products. I wanted to like the azelaic acid from the ordinary but couldn’t get over the silicone texture. I had a horrible allergic reaction to the Niod hyaluronic acid serum, but everyone else seemed to like it.

For me was the vitamin c suspension from The ordinary.. For me didn't work at all, very oily, sits on the skin. And Cicaplast Gel from La Roche Posay didn't work for me either.

For me , it was the vitamin c suspension. It was oily , gritty and difficult to be applied. A total failure with this one. A not so pleasing experience with this one.
