What products have you brought and it doesnt do what it says on the package?

Question

Hi All.
I brought Nivea- aqua sensation face cream.

The product said it is for very tired skin, dry, etc. Which is what i need.

mY skin always feels tired and dull.
Its really annoying when product like these say it will do this and do that, but doesnt work.
The cream i brought is cr@p.
It doesnt do anything that says on the product package to my skin.

Isnt it annoying when you buy a product but doesnt work.

Does anyone have any solution to tired and dull face skin?

I also had loreal eye cream, which reduces dark cirlces and fine lines, that didnt work either and cost me £12
thanks

Husband did say to me " dont beleive everything product say, thease things are said only a selling point" which is true, but still

Garnier Fructis Curl & Shine conditioner. I used it on my permed hair and all it did was weigh it down so I had less curls, it made it frizzy and it made it dry. My husband who has naturally curly hair tried it, and it produced the same results.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizer. I bought a small bottle of it once because I have severly dry skin. I would put some on, both dry and damp skin, and although the bottle says it lasts 24 hours, I had to reapply it every hour. I was putting it on clean skin, on my hands, but after a few minutes from it soaking in, it smelled really bad.

Matrix Volumizing shampoo and conditioner. Naturally I have very fine, straight hair, so I used this. Sometimes in combination with blowdrying m hair upside down. The end result was dull hair that felt greasy (I have very dry hair, so I know that was from the product), limp, wouldn't do anything, no volume whatsoever.

Same thing happened when I used to use Lanza Volumizing shampoo and conditioner, and also the special liquid gel to apply to damp hair to lock out frizz and make hair more volumized. Flat, dull, greasy hair.

Most CoverGirl products I hate. They don't last very long through the day, all of the shades are horrible and I can never find anything to match my complexion, even though it's light. Most everything from them leaves you feeling greasy and dirty, and their mascara...I bought one once to do a specific job and it didn't...I can't remember what it was though. I just know I will never buy CG products if my life depended upon it.

I'm sure there are more. But perhaps it's just the beauty industry making something for one, maybe two different kinds of people, and I'm that third kind of person that nothing ever works for me. I guess they don't understand that there are a variety of people on this earth, even more than 3.

I just remembered one more. It was from a company online. It was a lip plumping cream, a 3 step process of them. I used them once and they tasted disgusting, despite what the ad had said about a great taste. It didn't exfoliate my lips like it said it would, it just felt like I was rubbing tiny little rubber balls around on my lips for a massage, and it felt really gross (my washcloth method works better), and the 3rd product I never got because they sent me two of one. Not to mention...it didn't plump my lips. It's from this website http://www.firstimpressionlips.com/firstimpression/index.cfm?action=promo&pc=FI050106sAH1&acode=994C13B8-0D6E-4E9C-9810-59A44CA9F331&nopop=5&pcode=E7B703E9&potype=1&rotator=yes Complete garbage and definitely not worth the few dollars they charge you for it.

One product that has worked and I would think it wouldn't at all...Since I have very fine, very dry hair...I use Pantene Relaxed & Natural to help control the static. And despite the fact that it has oils in it, for African American hair (of which I am not, I'm mostly German) my hair never gets weighed down from it. It's amazing!

A few days ago. I bought a fading cream hydroproxy from palmers. It is supposed to be for fading dark patches of skin. It didn't do what it is supposed to. Now I have a itchy rash. Also I had got-ton brown rice instead of white because I read it was healthier. I cooked it has it said. Even posted a question on it. I took the advise given and still it turned out uncooked or over cooked and tasted funny. Same thing happen with self tanning cream Jergens. After using it a few days. My skin appeared somewhat dirty looking. And what ticks me off is all the money lost. I could just kick myself. All I tended to think after wards was what I could have bought with that money lost on that junk.

Answer 3

If you expect it to work after one use then you will be gravely disappointed. Most products like that say that you will see results after using it for a certain amount of time continuously.
