A SKINCARE pro has divided opinion by revealing her controversial opinions about products she suggests “staying away” from.
In her video, certified medical aesthetician Kendra took aim at products made by Lush, Mario Badescu and even the much-revered Bio-Oil.
Kendra took to TikTok to share her thoughts on some of the most popular brands in the skincare industry, kicking off with Lush.
She showed an image of some of Lush’s most popular products including the 9 to 5 cleanser, Vanishing Cream and the Mask of Magnanimity.
Bath and Body Works was next in the firing line, with Kendra posting a snap of a host of products from the US store, such as Vanilla Sugar, Pink Chiffon and Hibiscus Paradise.
Bio-Oil has long been loved by beauty fans for hydrating the skin and reducing the appearance of scars, but Kendra clearly isn’t a fan as she listed it in her video.

Next up she slammed the facial sprays from skincare veteran Mario Badescu, as well as the charcoal nose strips from Biore.
On the mask front, Kendra suggests steering clear of the Yes to Grapefruit unicorn paper mask and Freeman face masks.
She also took aim at Thayers original Astringent, LashBox LA Break Up With your Makeup wipes and some of the Clean & Clear range, including the foaming facial cleanser, deep cleaning astringent and dual action moisturiser.
Despite Kendra’s stance on some of the products, other people took to the comments section to argue in favour of those on her list.
“Lush, bio oil and witch Hazel are actually great for the right skin types. from a fellow aesthetician,” one wrote.
“Can I ask why no to lush, their dream cream has pretty much cleared my eczema which I’ve had since childhood (now 35),” another asked.
To which someone else replied: “Lush is all fragrance unfortunately, so it can be very irritating but ofc it depends on the product.”
“The fact that Lush is on your list makes me disregard everything you say,” another raged.
“Lush saved my skin.”
“Bio oil?” someone else questioned.
“My surgeon strongly suggested I use this on my scar after surgery on my stomach and after 6 months it looks amazing????”

“Probably because of linalool,” another person answered.
“Fragrances can cause allergic reactions to some people’s skin I guess.”
