1. Beauty bloggers who don't do their research. And then recommend products that do nothing or make things worse. You are part of the problem!
(I'm not saying my advice is flawless, but I try to frame my own personal experiences as just that and not to recommend things that are gimmicky, overpriced, or harmful.)
2. All the 5 star reviews on BzzAgent. I know it's because people like to get free things, and they are afraid that if they give negative reviews, the free stuff will stop coming. I've wondered about that myself. But really, 99% of people think all the products reviews are perfect? I doubt it. It makes the reviews kind of pointless.

Moisturizers: Do I Really Need One?
Fact: Not everyone needs a traditional moisturizer (don’t be too shocked, we’ll explain why in a second).
Fact: To be truly effective, “moisturizers” are not about giving skin moisture, but helping skin retain normal, healthy, youthful moisture levels.
Fact: Too much moisture (water) can actually cause problems for your skin.
Fact: Everyone’s skin type needs ingredients that enhance the function and structure of healthy skin so it acts younger and prevents dryness.
Fact: Regardless of the product name (anti-wrinkle, moisturizer, toner, etc.) or its texture (gel, serum, lotion, liquid etc.), it needs to contain ingredients that repair and rejuvenate your skin.
So why do fashion magazines, cosmetic salespeople, estheticians, and even some dermatologists say you need a moisturizer? Because it’s hard to replace common myths with facts. Current research and published studies have proven what your skin really needs to look its best!
