i still use Pond's cold cream everyday to take off makeup.  Doesn't sting your eyes either.

Great topic.

 

The only thing I will add is Campho Phenique.  It was the go to and "cure" for everything.  LOL

 

I always have a bottle in my cabinet.


Campho Phonique was great for mosquito bites. It was in the metal  bathroom medicine cabinet by the mercurochrome--we called it monkey blood.

Mom was pretty big fan of all Avon products so we had loads of that for skin, makeup and perfume.  Others were Jergens hand lotion, Charlie cologne, as well as the Revlon and GE hair dryers, blow and sit under with curlers in your hair.

I remember washing my face with Noxema and then using Cuticura cream-- think it was in a tin.  And Seabreeze!  I thought I was doing a good job rubbing that all over my face.  It probably made my breakouts worse!
