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.
Why it's great: "I use this product to moisturize my lips ... as well as my hair and body during the rough winter months," says one reader. Another reviewer says, "There are few things which can't be remedied by Vaseline." One reader says she uses Vaseline to take "eye makeup off with ease," as the base for sugar scrubs "for buffing away dull skin," and as an overnight treatment for her feet."
Why it's great: "If you are looking for a gentle shampoo, this is the one to purchase," says one reader. "I have fine hair that I wash daily. This shampoo is very gentle and leaves my hair shiny without weighing it down." Readers can't get enough of the "coconut" scent, and they say it's great for "taming frizzies and dry ends." It's also gentle enough for daily use, say reviewers.
