Is there a really popular product, technique, or otherwise viral trend that you tried and it fell short somehow?

What was it, what were your expectations, and what was the result?

(LOL no shame, totally posting this in the makeup community if I can find it)

Thank you so much for writing all of this out! I also have super dry sensitive skin (exactly like you described in your original comment; I need to have lotion close by at all times because if I wash my hands once or twice they get cracky again, ugh), so I'm definitely going to give your suggestions a shot.

With skincare I feel like it's so easy to fall into the trap of "it's more expensive so it must be better!", at least it has been for me sometimes. Especially battling dry skin, I start thinking I need something expensive to really take care of it, but I guess that's not really true.

And omg, ewwww, that sounds so unpleasant, haha
