Popular products that didn't work out

I'm sure we all have experienced this at one point in our skincare journeys. You read a lot of reviews and see videos of before&after of a certain product and decide to give it a try, only to experience it either doing nothing or giving some form of negative reaction. What were your 'misses' of viral or popular products you've been looking forward to? Maybe even more pricey than what you'd usually pay and unfortunately getting disappointed? Here are some of the ones my skin didn't like/tolerate which I had been really curious about:

Some are not in Picky database. 1. AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Serum - did nothing for my skin and pricey 2. Anything ANUA breaks me out 3. Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream - had like 4-5 tubes and nothing happen 🤣🤣🤣 And expensive 4. Tirtir Milky Toner - this cause me a major breakout that caused major acne scars so I’m trying to stay away from milky toners Cleansing oils - bye bye 🤣🤣🤣 I found most too stripping so I use cleansing balm instead 😍

Oh no, sorry to hear about the Tirtir toner doing you this bad.. It contains a few ingredients that might trigger reactions unfortunately. I'm currently using the 345 Cream and haven't seen it doing its magic social media was raving about ^^

That viral Axis-Y also did nothing for my skin 🤣 Here are products that are popular in Korea but don't work well for me unfortunately: 1. Ilso super melting sebum softener (did nothing for my blackheads) 2. Fation nosca9 trouble serum (hydrating yes, redness didn't go away completely) 3. Skin 1004 madagascar centella ampoule (hydrating only, didn't feel the soothing effect) 4. Numbuzin no.5 vitamin concentrated serum (glowing yes, saw no progress on my dark spots) 5. Anua peach 70 niacin serum (similar effect like Numbuzin one) 6. Goodal green tangerine vita C dark spot serum (brightening yes, dark spots are still there) 7. Biodance bio collagen real deep mask (where' the glow? where's the plump effect? maybe I expected too much) Remember everyone's skin is different. What doesn't work for me, may work well for others.

Sorry to hear that about the anua serum! Have heard very often that the brand didn't work out for a lot of people. I used the Cream Cleanser from cerave once and felt the same way you did

I personally didn’t like these two oil cleansers, I find that both are difficult to emulsify and hard to remove
