Why it's great: "The name 'Pond's' conjures an image of my beautiful grandmother using this nightly before washing her face," says one reader of her family's staple beauty product. Today, reviewers use the product for "soft and smooth" skin and even tone. One reader says, "I don't ever worry about waking up in the morning with raccoon eyes; this little jar is my insurance for that."
Why it's great: Our readers forsake pricier, department store brands for this drugstore product that leaves lips smooth, "never chapped." Readers say it comes in colors that "will never go out of style." "Chanel can't touch this stuff for wearability," swears one reader. "It doesn't require constant reapplication." Another devotee says she purchased the lipstick after a recommendation from her 88-year-old mother. "She's used it since she was 18," says the reviewer. "It goes on smoothly and really lasts."
Why it's great: "I have used Noxzema Cleansing Cream since I was a teen, and I'm now a 55-year-old who has beautiful skin," says one reader. Another reader says, "[I love] the feel of the satiny emulsion on my hands as much as I do on my face! Camphor helps give it the refreshing smell and tingling sensation."
Why it's great: "This has been in every medicine cabinet of my family," says one devoted reviewer." "[This product] gets absorbed [quickly], and there's no sticky film," another fan writes. Readers with dry complexions swear by this hydrating pick, and those with "sensitive and acne-prone skin" enjoy its "lightweight" texture.
