This is why never buy cheap skin products and ones from dollar stores!

Lady used Ponds face cream and ended up in a coma due to the ingredient last month.

Sacramento officials warned its residents to stop using similar face creams imported from Mexico, which may be contaminated with methylmercury.

Definitely don't buy Mexican knock-offs! Thats for sure. Mercury in a cold cream, good grief!

There are a lot of questionable edibles in checkout lines too.

What is a good and reasonably priced product? Last year, I wrote down one mentioned on the boards, but I can't find it. My recollection of the name is #7 Boots Skin Care.

@AuntG  This is a legitimate brand. I've seen it carried at Target and Walgreen's, among other retail resources.

@AuntG  Walgreens has quite a few Boots #7 items and samples. They have a kit half off before the Holidays that the clerks said they are going to wait for..  Samples are available. Target also  carries the line. I really like their Hot Cloth  cleanser in the Winter as so  soothing. Medium priced.

No 7 is what it's called now. It's a good line. The actives are not particularly concentrated, but the products are reasonably priced. CeraVe is also reasonably priced and very high quality, value for money.

Pond's IS a reputable product.

Nothing wrong with that brand.

It was purchased through an 'informal network' that imported the cream from Mexico.  Didn't say anything about dollar stores.
