Finding the correct beauty products feels like you’re heading out on a quest to find the holy grail. When hitting a makeup superstore or your local pharmacy, there are a lot of choices and many that look almost perfect. But some encounters with beauty brands don’t always meet the mark. Here are 15 brands that many agree may not get a second chance.
DevaCurl
Devacurl is supposed to be a savior for women with curls. However, that is far from the truth for many. It has even ruined some women’s hair! One woman even got a rash on her scalp and was completely covered in pustules.

Neutrogena
You want an acne and cleanser to be gentle but still work. However, many owners of their facial moisturizers swear all they did was burn skin and eyes. It was often far too strong, leaving red marks on their skin all the time.
EOS
EOS is known for its lip balm balls that became very popular within the last ten years. Many don’t know that they also caused many people to get chemical burns on their lips. Even those who did not end up with chemical burns said the chapstick never really moisturized their lips, and they still continue to feel dry.
Drunk Elephant
A product is only as good as its customer service, and many agree that Drunk Elephant’s is not very good. For the price you pay, you think they would ensure their customers could contact and talk to someone when needed.
Cerave
Some people feel as though this brand is completely overrated. One person even said, Cerave has recently broken the hearts of sensitive skin people everywhere! They have reformulated and cheapened up. Many discussions online about how a trusted brand now causes reactions. Will never buy again.
The Body Shop
The idea of The Body Shop was completely stolen from a small business back in the day. Many remember how scummy and blatant it was. Stealing ideas and products from small businesses no matter how long ago, quickly loses you some customers.
Jones Road
Many women read the reviews before they purchase a product. The reviews are often very honest and people can quickly make a decision if that company is worthy of their hard earned money. Jones Road is known for burying negative comments and only showing about 3 for each product.
IT Cosmetics
IT Cosmetics. One person tried every “light” shade they had for their CC Cream, and it never matched, and the formula sat very weirdly on her skin. Many wanted to love this company, but their shade selection was nonexistent.
MILK
A beautifully packaged product can only get you so far. But many agree that MILK will not get another chance in their makeup routine because they continue to get away with shrinking their products that massively, and also, the twist function on their sticks stops working after a few uses.
Sunday Riley
This brand used to be loved by many and even started as a niche brand with excellent, effective products. Now, it has sold out and has started reworking formulas with cheaper ingredients that are now drugstore quality for the same high price. Their original Ceramic Slip cleanser was many ladies’ holy grail, but they changed the formula and even cheapened the packaging.
Clinique
Clinique is known for being allergen free and being a clear brand. However some women have noticed they still break out from the products and are definitely not on allergenic. One person also mentioned they test on animals.
L’Oréal
L’Oréal is not known for being on the right side when it comes to human or animal rights. They still use animal testing and also horrible track record with human rights too.
Goop
Women out there agree that Goop is not worth it. Many say that they dislike the owner, Gwyneth Platrow, and she often spreads false information, claiming it is all based on science. However, the information is often proven not to have any scientific evidence or backing.
Anastasia Beverly Hills
Another large brand where the owner may have ruined it for everyone. The owner is said to have made some very awful remarks about the war in Ukraine and many women will no longer support her brand. Plus, people say her brow gel is overrated anyway.
Morphe
A very popular brand, many agree their makeup has a very strong chemical-like smell that is hard to ignore. Some users even decided the makeup quality definitely didn’t match their high ticket price tag.
