$130 product that gives no results, that's not good, there should be a retund!

Glad to know I have never spent over $30 on a serum for my face!! These are all expensive products and none of them work?? Yikes!

I definitely agree that there is a big hit or miss factor depending on your individual skin type to find what will or wont work. The bottom line is, you can't stop the aging process. While I admit that I am on the never ending search for the latest greatest remedy for freckles and dark spots, I have to keep convincing myself that it's probably not going to be found in a facial cream or serum. Maybe a laser treatment or chemical peel. Meanwhile, I will probably keep trying new things until I find something that I am satisfied with. For now, you have given me a list of the "what not to waste your money on" and for that I am grateful!

While its a hit or miss with serums and other skin care products you can buy at a drug store its unfortunate when you don't see results with them because then your out of your money. But with most cosmetic products you buy at major department stores, weather its skincare or makeup, most major stores offer a full refund on products as long as about half or a little under half of the product is still there. Just make sure you save your receipt or remember what card you used to pay with so the sales associate can look it up for you. No matter what the beauty consultant says they do accept returns! Also if you are buying the product ask if they can make you a smaller sample so you can try it first before you open the package so you can test to see how it reacts with your skin. Taking advantage of free gifts with purchases at higher end counters is another great way to try products so you don't run into spending money on serums or other skin care products that are all talk and no action.

I think I did try the Skin Genesis a while back but I don't think I've had any of the other products luckily!

It's a very slippery slope when it comes to believing and hoping after you spent half your salary on a cream that you will see results-in my opinion(I am a true cream queen)trial and error is very costly so I read as many reviews(on-line) as possible before I buy and have basically been pretty lucky-I have found retinA prescription or none prescription to be a very large part in aiding many skin problems-to me it's the holy grail of creams and I also use other creams on top and sunscreen. Exfoliation is a big key in the battle to maintain a youthful face.

Good thing I didn't like those anyway. I was happy to see none of my favorites were on that list, lol.

I am an esthetician and I have my doubts when it comes to wrinkle products. Especially when it says on the label "with Collagen". The wrinkles are usually 300 micrometer deep and the cream’s smoothing effect is just 10 micrometer, which means the smoothing effect of the cream only reaches 10 micrometer depth. The Collagen and Elastin are in the Dermis. (The Dermis is under the epidermis. Epidermis the surface of the skin which has 5 levels. ) Collagen in creams can not reach the Dermis, just the Epidermis IF(!) their molecules are not too big, thus it can not treat wrinkles. It has moisturizing effect on the epidermis, but that's it. We need agents what helps to regenerate the collagen fibers. So far the most effective wrinkle agent is Retinoic acid (Tretinoin). But it has few side effects. On my blog you can find more information about agents what helps to regenerate the collagen fibers and about Retinoic acid. bebeautysmart.com

wow I never use serum but I'll be sure to look at this again if I ever go to buy some

The new Olay regenerist moisturizing night serum (the orangish coloured one) is absolutely awful! It did nothing but give me horrible cycstic acne!

by CliniqueLover Thursday, July 7, 2011 at 11:29AM Report as inappropriate

How awful; I can't even imagine paying more than $100 for a peel that was so bad. :(

Never tried any of these.. I'm currently using a serum from Boots No7 I personally don't see a difference between this and any of the serums I have used

Never tried any of these, I'll stick to my Origins Plantscription. It really works and no side effects.

by BellezzaBeauty Monday, May 30, 2011 at 06:06AM Report as inappropriate

Never tried any of them- serums never do much for me anyway.

by deborah_taylor Friday, May 27, 2011 at 01:57PM Report as inappropriate

The Lumedia Facial Brightner, which I got free full size with a purchase from somewhere, smelled horrible and is the only product I have used that made me break out. Not sure if break out is the word. Within an hour of putting it on my face and neck, I had small red circles all over my face and neck. Looked like I had measles or something. I washed it off and applied aloe vera gel, and it still took 3 days for the red circles to go away. Glad I didn't pay for it.

I used Loreal Skin Genesis and it worked just fine for me, it really just depends on your skin type.

by ambawag Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at 07:51PM Report as inappropriate

Victoria's Secret used to carry this and they got rid of it years ago. It felt really cool initially and feel like it was actually tightening but the flaking and "balling up" was reeeeeeeally disgusting.

by essyyy Friday, January 14, 2011 at 09:42PM Report as inappropriate

i will NOT be using these!
