Save Your Money: The Products We'd Quietly Return

Right. Let's have an honest little chat. We've all bought something because the internet told us to, used it faithfully for three weeks, and then stood in front of the mirror thinking, 'Is this it? Am I the problem?' No, darling. You are not the problem. The problem is that not every hyped product earns its keep, and some of them are genuinely not worth the money — even the cheap ones, even the ones your favourite dermatologist swears by. This is our skip list: five products we tested properly, scored honestly, and would personally leave on the shelf. Not because they're evil. Because your hard-earned cash could do better elsewhere. Think of this as me intercepting your basket before you hit checkout.
