Useless products

Does anyone have a product that just doesn’t do anything

Oh yeah, for me that we're all serums from BOJ and the Skin1004 Centella Ampoule. Did basically nothing, but at least they didn't cause any breakouts I guess 🤷‍♀️

I think skincare and supplements take consistency and patience to see results. But of course there are products we enjoy using more than others. I'm taking the Foodology cutting powder, and I think it's taking me a long time to finish the product because it's tasteless. I would've preferred if it tastes like berries or something. I don't know if one box is sufficient to see results, wouldn't call it useless, but I'm unlikely to repurchase it.

The jellies feel like they do something. It took about 2 months to see results show up.

@hazelmoss I suspect I would've enjoyed taking the jellies more than the powder! The powder tastes just like water and it's a big cup to chug down. I kinda like my water flavoured :D

I've been using my red light helmet for a year with no visible results. The culprit, however, is likely not the helmet. It meets the specs for supporting the follicle. But It's very likely that my nutrition metrics are not where they need to be to support hair health AND I need a helmet that will reduce DHT. So...the product isn't showing results but it's a me problem.

I've been using my laser led helmet for 11 months and it's helped the parts of my scalp that didn't have an issue to grow thicker hair, but the balding spots are still sort of bald. I likely have an autoimmune condition since my blood tests were all over the place. I don't see the rheumatologist till April though. I understand the "me" problem!

@hazelmoss I have a very active photic reflex; in other words, sequential sneezing when I'm in bright light. I was thunderstruck when I started sneezing like crazy when I turned on my LED mask 🤣 It passes but Man! I can't stand sneezing!

@Annie I thought looking at the lights was supposed to stop sneezing! LOL!

For me, it's Biodance Caviar PDRN eye patches. Granted, it's only been 5 days (I think) but eye patches are kinda instant and the effect doesn't last. Biodance Collagen once I love, but these PDRN ones do nothing for me. This morning, I put them over the eye cream, figuring they can at least occlude and help the eye cream absorb better, and for that, they worked. I wasn't too crazy about the Caviar PDRN overnight mask either - cut too small (and I have a pretty small face; their other masks fit just fine), but it at least did what overnight masks do for me - made me all glowy in the morning :)

@Emily I have a plethora. Boy, was I gullible! Ended up dumping the whole kit and kaboodle into my bottom drawer and decided not to look at them all for a while 😬

You know, we should start some sort of barter/exchange whatnot, where we all just throw our useless stuff into the pot and whomever wants it, takes it - maybe our useless stuff is someone's gold, or someone wants to try it but doesn't want to commit to paying for it. I mean, I hate waste, so I'll never throw stuff out or leave it to expire, so I usually just gift it to someone. I was going to give my Biodance PDRN eye patches to a girl who swears by them (sweet sweet 22 year old, not a line on her face), but she's abroad and won't return before I leave.
