About Clinique- I was really outraged when recently my mom bought some Clinique skin care for my sister to use. She got it on some huge sale, but still! You couldn't pay me to use that stuff.

I suddenly recalled I've tried SK-II Eye Treatment Film before... total crap. It's sticky and greasy, doesn't work at all. It's a waste of money.


I totally agree with you I tried it twice and it gave me little bumps under my eyes Mad . I threw it in the trash.

There a so many worst products out there but this is one of the "worst" products I just purchased.

It is Lancome Nutrix Royal Intense Lipid Repair Cream!

I was looking for a decent cream just to moisturize my skin while sleeping. I usually use a concentrate vitamin c serum under it so I don't mind putting a jar of fats and oils only my face (as long as it absorbs well). Well, this cream contains squalane, glycerin, mineral oil, petrolatum, shea butter, beeswax, thickeners. It's not too bad for me.

After my first use, this cream burned like hell ... actually it burned like putting Vicks vapor rub or menthol on my face. What were they thinking to put such thing in the facial cream.

Now I use it on my neck and my hands. This is one of the worst new product of the year!!

1. Clinique 3 step is tops for worst products. It stripped my teenage skin. Exclamation

2. Olay cleansers, leaves me with white heads. I use their moisturizer on my hands and feet, since their range has the same ingredients as StriVectin but at a better price range. Their products always leave me with whiteheads but used as a hand and feet cream no problems Very Happy

3. SkinCeuticals Sea Silk moisturizer, broke me out in white heads.

Most recently for me:

Jurlique Calendula C Creme. It made my facial eczema soo much worse after 1 week of use. I know a lot of people like it though.

Lancome anything. Enough fragrance in those products to make my eyes water. And Chanel shadows and blush. Very dry and in texture, hard milled and impossible to build up.

My worst experiences...

MAC Lip Lacquer... the aroma reminded me of chemical urinal pucks found in mens washrooms.

"Thick" by Rusk... made my hair greasy and chunky... almost like dreadlocks.

Noxema.... yucky film left on my face

Sally Hansen air brush legs... spray this stuff on and your legs look like the color of Barbie... good coverage, but not even close to my skin tone. Most people thought I was wearing nylons.

White tooth polish from Lush... YUCK!

Undoubtedly CLINIQUE. I have a very oily skin, but their toner/clarifier left me with a chemical burn for 3 months!!!!!!!!

I agree with the majority clinique is really irritating and creates more problems than solutions. but Christian Diro comes in second for being worthless in my eyes. Im talking skincare here and not the makeup.

Sorry for my poor spelling for Dior, but also the 2nd worst would have to be Elizabeth Arden, what a dated range and one that really only caters to older females

L'Oreal Solar Expertise facial sunscreen - so greasy and so highly perfumed I found the scent offensive.
