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.
Why it's great: "Honestly, I've lost count of how many of these I own, because I keep them everywhere," says one reader. This reviewer favorite goes far beyond moisturizing lips. "My absolute favorite way to use this is as a moisturizer for my cuticles," says one reviewer. Other readers also use the balm "on burns" and "rashes." One reviewer adds, "The rose smell is wonderful, as is how long this little tin lasts. I will never be without this product!"
Why it's great: "What Coco [Chanel] created is a fragrance that has withstood time and trends," says one reader. "My husband goes wild when I wear it, so I save it for special occasions." "I just can't find another fragrance that has the same sexiness," one reviewer admits. "I do wear other fragrances from time to time, but none make me feel as womanly as No. 5."
