23 Worst Anti-Aging Skin Care ProductsReaders say these anti-aging skin care products are just expensive moisturizers (at best) -- ouch |
Are you afraid of aging? It's OK to say yes. It's a legitimate fear for women and men today for more than one reason.
First, thanks to our deteriorating economy, Medicare budgets have been seriously slashed. And second, thanks to global warming and pollution, wrinkles, lines and spots are showing up even earlier. This second factor is why we all continuously spend a couple bucks (OK hundreds -- don't judge) on anti-aging skin care products. We're desperate to hold on to our youth.
See the worst anti-aging products now.
And while some products really do reduce fine lines and diminish age spots, many of the potions and creams available are as good as a smoke screen for a bad magic show. And when these anti-aging products masquerade as our friends, making grandiose claims of turning back time on our face, but don't follow through, we get really upset.
Well, to help save you from getting hurt by these products that don't deliver, we're here to share a list of the anti-aging items our readers have tried, tested and rejected. Check them out and be sure you don't spend another dime on a lying, ahem, disappointing anti-aging skin care product ever again.

Tanning costs a lot of money and it can cost you your life. However, it is also safe if you do spray tanning which costs $40 a week where I come from. NO NO NO

Thanks, I will definitely steer clear of these. I agree that the L'Oreal products are very greasy and irritated my skin as well.

GREAT info! I've used a few of the products and agree that they aren't worth the price (the Freeze 24/7 and the Dr. Brant neck cream). There are several listed that I have thought of trying but will now refrain from doing so or try a sample first. Likely though, having seen that some of the negative effects didn't occur until after several weeks of use....I may just skip them altogether rather than mess with the samples.

Shows that expensive does not equal results. Perfect

The only one of the aforementioned "Terrible 24" I've used is the Garnier Skin Renew – and I'd have to agree with the review & average star rating. Nothing miraculous by any stretch of the imagination. Also, thankful to not find any Lumene products on this list. Recently began using a few & love them!
