Josi Maran argan oil light made my whole face break out in tiny little bumps. Peter Thomas Roth vitamin c serum caused burning and peeling of my face. It lasted a very long time. And just this past week I got a horrible brow product called Bella brow. Total piece of trash! Mostly I've been very lucky with skincare and makeup products being really good.

Purity Made Simple is great for cleaning my makeup brushes, but will never use it on my face. It's the worst for dry skin. Even though I love everything Josie, not a fan of her cleaning oil. Dr. Lessman SPF for the face was horrid for me. It would not blend and left a terrible white cast.

Josie Maran Argan Milk.  Made my face burn. I got it in a TSV kit a few years ago and it went in the trash.  I used the Argan oil that came with it on my feet and elbows with no problems but threw the rest of the kit away.  I hate to do that with higher priced products but I didn't want to take a chance on using more and damaging my skin.  I didn't want to give it away just in case it was a bad batch.  There have been no other Josie products that have tempted me to buy since the milk episode.

Tatcha primer.  I usually like their products, and was anxious to try it. My experience was that it was dry and cakey, and I had pilling. I follow directions, but this just didn't work for me.

@Sugipine  Same here.

 

So, the worst product I have ever tried is the Philosophy Peel pads, they come in individual wrapper forget the official name, it was like 7 years ago, I bought some stuff off Nord.com and it was part of the samples they sent me so of course I followed instructions, left on only half the time, rinsed and went to bed, woke up with my face swollen, rash and burns, had to go to derm the next day, he started reading the ingredients, first five were a type of "acid", he said never to use it again and sent me home with a presciption cream. So this free product cost me a derm appt, prescription cream and I missed two day of work because it was way to bad to go into work  Smiley Sad  Never used anything Philosophy after that scare!

Two of the worst for me were a Paula’s Choice Vitamin C product and Clarisonic. I broke out in itchy little bumps from VC. I stay away from it in any skin product. The Clarisonic made my acne worse. Gave it away to someone else.

 

I’ve been disappointed in the lack of results of many products.
