4 Vintage Cold Creams that you can still buy today

- Hello lovelies
Today I will be discussing four vintage cold creams that you can still buy today. I started using Ponds Cold Cream about a year ago and loved how well it worked to remove all of my makeup, and it made my skin so soft afterward. Since I love to research vintage cosmetics that you can still buy today, I decided to look into other vintage cold creams that you can still purchase today. I found out that Noxzema is also a vintage cleansing cream from 1914, and Jergens cleansing cream is also super old dating back before 1950. I tried finding the exact date online for the original Jergens Cleansing Cream but couldn't find an accurate time but read about ladies using it in the 1950s. Ponds is a classic and over a hundred years old, but I also discovered a new vintage brand to me called Merle Norman. The cleansing cream by Merle Norman dates back to 1931 and is one of my new favorite beauty staples because it is this beautiful vintage pink color and has a thick creamy texture made with cocoa butter, so it removes all of my makeup and makes my skin feel so soft afterward. Let me know if you have tried any of these and if you have a favorite cold cream.

My first loose powder was from Merle Norman when I was 12. My dad took me into the store and the consultant was wonderful. She also helped me pick out a beautiful rose colored lipstick and sent me away with a beautiful gift with purchase of facial moisturizer, mascara and cleanser. It was a wonderful experience. I would recommend any parent take their child into Merle Norman when the makeup bug hits. And kudos to my dad, who is sadly no longer with us, for being the kind of man who took his daughter into Merle Norman. ❤
mskatonic1 that sounds like a wonderful memory to have of your dad
What a wonderful father! My dad has done little things along the road of life that have truly given me such a role model to follow when I have kids. I’m happy you had the kind of father who took his daughter into Merle Norman. What a precious moment!!! 😭❤️
That's totally my dad as well. We're lucky girls.....
Thanks, for such beautiful memory. Blessings 🙏
That's an awesome story, my grandma took me to a Merle Norman store when I was 16, the consultant was super nice and matched me with my perfect color of eyeshadows, foundations, powder, blush, lipstick, eye liner.. She did my whole face, she showed me how to blend my eyeshadow correctly, my grandma bought me the foundation which was from what I remember full coverage and made you look flawless, she bought me an eyeshadow palette that was a holiday Edition, the goldspice eyeliner, the lose powder, an eye brush set, and a face brush set the set came with makeup Bags, I'm sure I got a free gift, but can't remember what it was, I still have my eyeshadow palette, eyeliner, and a few of my eye brushes, it was worth the money cause I got a lot and I really enjoyed that make up, I'm 40 now and very lucky to still have my grandma.
I used to take care of a 92 yr old French woman (very interesting lady -- retired professor who worked for the U.N.). She used Ponds cold cream every day and wore Dior red lipstick to go to the market. She was a true beauty with lovely skin!
Wow that’s so incredible
Amy Shakalis
Yes!! The sun is the devil and horrible for the skin. Also moisturizing definitely doesn’t hurt haha but in conjunction, you have the recipe for beautiful skin that ages really well! 😝
a trick: watch series on flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Bobby Zachary definitely, have been using Flixzone} for since november myself :)
The scent of Ponds cold cream and Coty loose powder reminds me of my grandmother and her sisters. All lovely southern belles.
I remember both of those, immediately the packaging of the Coty powder pops up from memory. Thanks for the lovely reminder.
I still use Coty.
I have a lipstick that I couldn’t get off (Maybelline super stay matte Inks) And a stubborn foundation (wet n wilds Photo focus foundation) i used to use water and a knock off micro fiber cloth like the one that’s Sephora sells I tried a few different things to get the lipstick off but then I discovered/did research about cold creams and discovered ponds love it ! I also use Cotys loose powder and I am now on my third jar of the powder!
I use ponds and coty powder and hope that when i have grandchildren they will remember my scent
Me too! That's why I use Ponds. 💚
My grandmother slathered her face in Pond’s every night and when she died at 85 she didn’t have any wrinkles. Everyone including me used Noxema in the 60s and 70s for pimples and acne.
I’ve been using cold cream Ponds every single day since 1965 and I cannot stand without it , it’s just simply part of my life, I highly recommend it.🌹
Aww Still using it?
And just bought it and I have been using it the smell is so good and I could see the difference right away wow love it !! 🥰 I am going to get more cold creams jergens is on my list
My Mother, Auntie and Grandmother all used Pond and Jergens. They would say, buy me the three little faces cream that was the Jergens. Thank you for the bringing back the good old days.
I love hearing everyone’s story with the products. Now I really appreciate the three faces on the Jergens cream
Fun fact! I grew up all around Mexican/ Hispanic women (because I’m one of them!) and they always referred to the Jergens Face Cream as “Tres Caritas” which literally translates to “Three Faces”. Even if you google the phrase Tres Caritas, the top result will be the Jergens Face Cream! The phrase stuck to its product since that’s basically is unofficial 2nd name in our culture (:
So that’s why I think Jergens choose to keep the 3 ladies on the packaging. It’s extremely famous and makes customers feel that they are constantly repurchasing a trusted product! That’s my guess?
That’s so interesting
Omg yes me too lol
There's a reason why us boomers, our mothers and grandmothers aged pretty well. And products like this are why. Today's woman is overwhelmed by the number of products available and it's so unnecessary. Any of these , especially Noxema and Ponds, are all that's necessary. Merle Norman used to be sold by individuals much as Mary Kay ir Avon. One of my mother's friends used it religiously and always had a fantastic, youthful looking face into her 80's. They used to have a product called Miracol, that what I would call a super mask. I used it from time to time, when my face just felt like it needed something different. You put it on with the provided brush, let it dry, and then rinsed it off. It was really refreshing, but it did burn a little bit. Merle Norman was kind of expensive though and I sometimes couldn't budget for it. One product that I don't see here is Oil of Olay original. It was a great moisturizer, sold in both creme and lotion that you put on at bedtime and took off in the morning. I used the lotion. Ponds can be used over night as well. One of the things I truly miss about the 'old days' is every woman had a signature perfume, lipstick shade and nail color that they seldom deviated from. Boring? Not at all. It defined you. And I can't ever remember scents smelling like a man's after shave as some do now. There were some strong brands, but they weren't overwhelming like they are now. I was 73 on my last birthday, and I find myself missing a lot of things. Getting dressed up to go just about anywhere, especially downtown or the mall. My Aunts and my Mom always wore nice house dresses to grocery shop. I dont think my Aunt owned a pair of slacks till she was in her 60:s. Lol. We're very casual these days. Pajamas at the store? Nothing but denim? Who convinced us that that's all OK?. I'm guilty myself. I do draw the line at wearing pj's, but I wear a lot of jeans. I have a Calvin Klein vintage coat that I wear over them in the winter though. And I've actually bought a few dresses lately. Think I'll regress a bit, and try being 'dressed up' from time to time. I can't wear the 4 inch heels I used to, but a nice pair of ballerina flats or a stack heel will work. And I love wearing dress boots. High, ankle, pretty much any kind.
Do you remember White Shoulders perfume? My mother wore that.
Also jungle gardenia.
And she used the ponds cold cream faithfully, and oil of olay original moisturizer.
Merle Norman makeup 💄 is one of the best makeup 💄 and they barely talk about it.
I LOVE the Jergens all purpose face cream. I discovered it when I was pregnant and my face was a hormonal mess. It cleared blemishes and also moisturized the dry flakey areas. I massage it in and exfoliate it off with a warm wet washcloth, and then apply a small amount as moisturizer and leave it. My skin has never been so happy. And it is only $4 at Walmart not $8! I feel like it's a best kept secret!
Hello dear. I've used Ponds since I was 16, I'm 66. And it does great.....🌹
I used to work at Merle Norman a few years ago. They still sell a lot of their old makeup and skin care. Even their modern stuff is great too. It's an underrated brand you don't see a lot unfortunately on youtube. You should definitely check their products out. 🖤
The one near me closed. I never got a chance to go inside the store.
I agree. The whole brand is fantastic. So under advertised and underrated.
It is a wonderful brand.
@@carolstarr9062 I think you can order their products online now. I could be wrong.
We still have a Merle Norman store where I live!
My theater department uses Pond's to remove makeup after shows; it works like a charm! Stage makeup is heavy and hard to remove, but Pond's does it easily
Noxema was my go to in highschool! It really helped my breakouts
I have been using on my feet it makes them so smooth
If you look at the "weird random lady heads" on the packaging you will notice there is a blonde, a brunette and a redhead. If you Google Jergens history they used to make face powder and other cosmetics. The three ladies were used to show that no matter what your complexion they could match it. The old face powder boxes were very beautiful.
Except that they're all white though. Why can't they update it to include women of other races or - better yet - leave them out all together?
These jars could really use an update. The packaging is not that pretty. It would be very nice to include women of color on their packaging as well
Jfc just because there are white women in the packaging doesn't mean women of color can't use it
@@gryla5290 Women of color might feel better if there were women who looked just like them on the packaging. It's all about representation and diversity.
MizzKittyBichon hahaha
The pink one every Mexican mom has ugh memories 😂
Noxema used to come in a beautiful cobalt blue glass jar with a black lid for years. I used to use Jergens lotion when I was a teen because it smelled like almonds. Thank you for your great videos.
My Mom has used Ponds for years, she has beautiful skin at 82!
That’s so amazing! I love ponds
Eve Welch I would love your mom to share all her secrets!
I put Noxema on my feet almost every night. Keeps them smoother than anything I have tried.
Oh wild! Do you rinse it off ?? Or just as a mask
@@Laurajaneatelier I just leave it on.
That’s wild! It doesn’t get everywhere?
I rub it in well. It isn't any messier than foot creams.
Omg it’s amazing I just tried it!
That is how Jergens has looked since it first came out. I love that they have kept the same vintage packaging!
I work with the elderly and the ladies with the most beautiful skin swear by Jergens and Ponds. They never put any soap cleanser on their skin..only cold cream!
QUEEN HELENE Professional Cleansing Cream is VERY affordable and has been around since 1930 I believe. When I went to Cosmetology school in the early 90s, we always used the Queen Helene products to do facials on our clients.
I bought the queen Helen one too! I’m saving it for a Video I haven’t tried it yet
@@Laurajaneatelier Awesome! Can't wait for the video
Queen Helene is old school, ha ha.
The QUEEN HELENE products are frequently carried in health food stores and have always been popular with people who are into natural health and prefer natural beauty products. I used to use the mint clay masque because it smelled so good, but got tired of it because although it worked well, like most clay masks it was so hard to get off.
when I was a kid my mother got Noxema in a blue glass jar. Sadly -like everything else -it's now plastic. I also love ponds as it is so gentle.
I know it’s too bad, I guess glass is more $$ maybe one day everything will go back to glass
Nivea creme is still in glass. I buy a big jar of Nivea to refill flat tins so I can moisturize my hands throughout the day.
The blue glass Noxema jars were beautiful. Cobalt blue.
I remember those jars! Cobalt blue glass. A lot of glass containers were like that then.
Albolene is also old ,about 100 yrs, and still sold today.
I was just about to comment about that. I use it to remove my makeup. I think it’s very suitable for acne prone and sensitive skin since it only has about 4 ingredients.
i wonder why plain old vaseline or straight mineral oil is not used instead. it seems to be the main ingredient in all these products
@@scarlettohara5096 too thick and greasy maybe. With the other ingredients included, it dilutes it and is easier to spread maybe
@@ilovemana143 oh , maybe. That makes sense
You should check out olay’s “active hydrating original cream”! It says it’s been around since 1952 and is the cutest light pink with a great vintage scent. Cute little jar for packaging as well. I bought some a while ago and absolutely adore it! It’s very moisturizing and lovely on the skin. I bet you’d love it!
Sydney Bell the original pink Olay is one of the best , I go back to that every time ! It would be perfect for this .
Thanks Sydney! Yes I have the cream and fluid. I’m planing on using them for a video. I found the vintage fluid on eBay but no cream. What was the cream called?
Yes smells amazing
@@Laurajaneatelier 'Active Hydrating Original Cream'. Come in a little jar about 2.5 inches across, pink base, black top. Sold in a box, IIRC. Can be hard to find, usually tucked away on a bottom shelf or such. I use it every day, have for probably 30 years. I also use Nivea cream, comes in a blue tub, it's very like cold cream but more moisturizing. Totally necessary for winter if I have to go outside.
That smell is my mom to me!
My grandma used the jergens cold cream for many years,she called it "Las caritas"(the little faces).
Noxema is also the bomb for sunburns...even to this day I love it.
Cover Girl had a song when Noxema was in their foundation 🎶Cover girl clean makeup with Nox-eeeeee-ma 🎶😁
Oh fun I want to try it
I still equate Cover Girl foundation with the Noxzema smell.
@@hbordenrn Last I knew the classic bottle of Cover Girl foundation still smells of Noxema. The powder, too.
@@hbordenrn same
My Mum used Ponds cold cream every day of her life. She lived to age 96, and looked 70 !
I used Noxzema as a teenager and still have some in my drawer.
I use Ponds dry skin cream twice a day, and look young for my age.
Pond's is everything! I use it when I wear foundation. It even breaks down waterproof mascara. It leaves my skin so supple.
I love the ceramic cats that keep you company during this beauty routine. I'm a Noxzema girl since the 1970s. Great as a makeup remover or just a face wash. I love that the formula has never changed. Very comforting scent. Definitely helps mild acne. Tip: use as a wash & then leave on as a moisturizer when you have a cold & it helps clear your nasal passages!
I love Noxema, I have used it from the age of 12 . Just turned sixty and I still get complemented on how good my skin looks.
Yes, I love MN Cleansing Cream. The smell, the great makeup-removing quality and how moist it leaves my skin feeling afterwards. My older sister has used MN for over 60 years!
It’s so good ❤️❤️
After watching your videos I always feel the motivation to wash my face and cleanse my face because it helps me get out of depression
I watched a vintage beauty tutorial that talked about doing a moisturizing mask in the morning (like with cold cream) and it really changed up my beauty routine for the better, like it wasn't intuitive at first but then I realize how nice it was to plump my skin up with moisture after being all crispy from sleeping. Those ladies knew things.
My Mother always used Noxema her whole life..She had the greatest and softest skin. Her face didn't seem to get wrinkles until she was in her 80s.. She really cared about her face that is for sure!!! God rest your soul Mom💜
We still have Merle Norman stores in our area.
P.s. Ponds had a wow status with a friend when I was young. She'd ask elderly clients with great skin what they used for skin cream. They always replied, "Ponds."
I've recently started using Pond's myself earlier this year. Now I find myself buying their entire product line 🙈😂😂
Their foaming cleanser is my follow up to the cold cream when I need to double cleanse. Love it all. 😊
I've been using Noxzema, Ponds, and Jergens cold cream since I started wearing makeup in the early 80s. The Jergens has always kept the label the same but the have updated the look of the 3 ladies over the years from all the way back to the 20s I believe! I think they still looked 50s or 60s up until the mid 80s if I remember correctly. Look on ebay for their vintage version of these products you'll see what they looked like! we had them as glass / milk glass jars even in the 80s.
@Laura Jane Atelier I worked for Merle Norman about six years and loved it there. Sadly, the store that I worked for closed too, many years after I had left. I also thought you might like to know a little Merle Norman history. The cold cream that you mention in this video was Merle's (this was actually the owner and founder) very first product. She created it in her kitchen cooking up the ingredients on her stove top. Another bit of info that I would like to share is I remember the owner of the store that I worked for told me that once Merle Norman created a product that it would always be available and never be discontinued. It might not be kept in stock and on the shelves but that you could have it specially ordered from the company.
Thanks for featuring Merles's original product in your video! Have a nice day! Love, Lily
Glad to hear people taking up for Noxema. It's great and has many uses. I feel it even helps with my allergies, I use it to take off my clay mask instead of water, and I shave with it.
Ponds and coty airspun powder is what my grandma use to use and so I will follow in her footsteps. Both products are a staple in my beauty regimen !!
I remember my granny using Pond's cold cream. I think she still does. 😀
I love all the creams you mention, and have all of them on hand today, EXCEPT the Merle Norman. Noxema is my go to for summer showers especially after a hot day. The aroma reminds me of my young days! Cold cream was not very useful for me until I got old, as I just needed a light moisturizer. I used Lubriderm for years, and also Oil of Olay. I love these classic aromas from these products! Evokes so many memories!! I admit I like the fragrance of the Jergens All Purpose LEAST. Love ponds! Long live cold creams!!
I love the Ponds Cold Cream, it does the job and is thoroughly moisturising. Hardly surprising that it's a classic! I agree about the packaging for the Jergens cream cleanser, though it did make me think of The Golden Girls for some reason lol 😉
Noxema makes me think of my mom! I grew up in the 90s, and that was her go-to face wash. The whole bathroom smelled like Noxema every night lol 💙
And the Ponds cold cream, of course, makes me think of my grandma!
I just recently started using Ponds, but I also bought a jar of Jergens so I can compare and see which one I like better!
I'm 48 I love using Nivea in the blue tin can to remove my makeup at night. I use baby oil or coconut oil to remove my eye makeup and lipstick. My mom used to use Jergens creme religiously. I have to try it now that I'm older my skin is on the dryer side now.
Oh nice I should try Nivea to remove my makeup
Fun facts: Nivea creme has been around for over a hundred years and the version produced in Germany is still the original formula
1911
@@goodlife459 I had no idea it was produced in Germany. I always thought it was produced in Mexico. Mexicans in Mexico use it alot.
soniasg8639 I believe the version made in Mexico has a slightly different formula from the version made in Germany. The one made in Germany is the original formula. History of Nivea: www.dewebsite.org/logo/nivea/nivea.html www.nivea.co.uk/about-us/nivea-history
My mom still uses ponds and jergens face cream so do I. Love them 😊 love the classics
I have used Merle Norman for 60 years. Put all of my children on Merle as teenagers. Excellent
I am using Jergen! And I love it
Me too it’s so good
I just bought the jergens today because my face has been so dry
🥰👍
Have tried them all mentioned at some point. My favorite is Albolene, hands down. Company started in the 1800s...Used by Actors to remove industrial strength stage makeup, it EASILY removes heavy makeup in a flash and is super moisturizing. At Walgreens is around $14 (12 oz jar) but I was pleasantly shocked to find the 12oz jar size for only $7.28 with free shipping on a $25.00 Amazon order. The best beauty buy on the cheap I know of. This stuff is EXCELLENT I tell you , and I am particular. 😂
I use jergens for the sheer fact that it’s more bang for your buck while still being cheaper than ponds (jergens $3.27 15 oz: ponds $4.97 6.1oz)
My sister who’s a teen uses noxzema classic clean.
Ah yes I agree Jergens is way cheaper and just as good if not better! I love the pink colour! Merle Norman is more $$ but I think it’s worth it since the tub is massive
@@Laurajaneatelier I love the idea of pink cold cream, but I was wondering what the Merle Norman smells like? I thought someone said it had cocoa butter in it and I hate the stink of cocoa butter, smells a little like suphur to me. I also don't like something perfumery or flowery smelling on my face.
Just found your channel and you are darling! I am a bit older than you (LOL). I used Noxema when I was a teen in the 1970s--and also used it for after sun care--but it always made me peel! I remember when they took the 1950ish ladies off the Jergens cream in the 1980s...It has been a favorite of my 90-year old mom since she first started wearing makeup!
So glad you found my channel, I have been using noxzema on my feet everyday
During the 1980’s Noxema was a popular treatment for acne and I bought some to treat my son’s acne.
The pink creams are the best, I would only buy it for the color lol
Haha I know I’m the same way i only want it because it’s pink
Hi Laura, I'm 66 years old and i still use Noxema. I just love the tingly fresh feel. I follow with Rosehip oil
I used to use Ponds in theatre school, to remove stage makeup!
Merle Norman shops are still around all over Southern California and at least one that I know of on Oahu, HI. My mom took me to the Tustin, CA location in 09 when I was fifteen for my first facial and brow wax. Walked back in as a twenty-two married woman a couple years ago and nothing’s changed. It was really neat to see offerings much simpler than at Sephora or other retailers
I remember they had ponds lemon scent with a yellow top plastic jar 1980s
I used Noxema as a teen in the early 80s. I thought it was very helpful for acne. I also used Ponds then to remove waterproof mascara and makeup, then cleansed with the Noxema. I recently, in my 50s now, started using Ponds again. Thanks to another one of your videos 💜. I love the way it smells and how moisturizing it is. I also love the price. My mother used to say that her Aunt (b. 1890s) used Ponds her whole life and had the loviest skin. I double cleanse with it, then press any excess off with a warm washcloth.
Ponds was my go-to, but I’ve transitioned to a 100% vegetable made cold cream from Lush Cosmetics, called Ultrabland. It’s made with rose and is absolutely amazing and tests clean on toxicity reports. I love cold cream and it’s my primary way to wash my face. Lush is an eco friendly brand and even released a naked cold cream, called Like A Virgin, (which I adore), to minimize waste. Though they are modern products, they are traditional in feel and do not have synthetic ingredients, which is pretty classic to me. Consider trying them out. Love your videos!! 🌹✨✨
I will try that thank you ❤️❤️
Another very vintage skincare line is Erno Lazlo, which I used in the 70s and 80s. Sadly, when Dr. Lazlo died the line got bought out and they don't use the original formulas. They do/did have very vintage Art Deco packaging. Greta Garbo, Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe and other beauties used Lazlo. It's expensive but they do have trial/travel sizes like Clinique (who copied Lazlo's three-step system.)
I remember when several people I knew used Lazlo. Were his 3 step system products very much like Clinique products, or do you just mean that Clinique copies the idea of having three steps?
I have tried Lazlo and featured them
In my Audrey and Marilyn videos. It’s very nice but yes very $$$
I need to try Clinique again
@@Laurajaneatelier I always buy when there is a good gift with purchase. The soap and toner come in different formulas for different skin types. There is a gel moisturizer for oily areas, or in hot weather. The only thing I don't care for is the "business like" smell of the soap. I enjoy scent.
Jergens is my fav ❤ when I smell it ....its 1975 again . Smells like childhood and moms make up counter !! I have VERY dry skin and it works amazing for me .
I'm 66 years old. We used Noxema to cleans our faces for acne when I was a teenager. PONDS is my absolute favorite. It smells like my mom and like my grandma! I use their moisture cream as well.
My mother wore& use Merle Norman make up& skin products when I was a child. I remember for my age Coty had alot of products. I was born in 1955. I used alot of popular products of the late 60s and 70s. I've been trying to find the original LOVE cologne/ perfume,it seems they keep coming out w other scents but the original was great.
Raka Mas I loved “Youth Dew” by Coty!
I remember Merle Norman store in Victoria, BC years ago when I was a kid. My Mom use to use her skincare. My Grandma swore by Oil of Olay and has beautiful skin. She lived to 97 and had stunning skin! :)
Hello Laura Jane, I went through a spell when my skin was really dry and flaky, and was advised to cleanse with cold cream. I was told to slather it on my face and wipe off with a large wadge of cotton wool soaked in really hot water and squeezed out. It worked. Also to put an old pillow case on pillow, tie up hair and slather Vaseline on face overnight. Super cheap tricks. Ponds is lovely especially for the scent but the Boots (chemist) cold cream was cheaper and came/still comes in bigger jar. X🌹
Love the Ponds🙏
Alberto Vargas did artwork for the Jergens ladies that preceded the current ones. Check it out!
I LOVE the packaging on the Jergens bottle!
Noxema slathered on a sunburn is an old surfer trick - smooth it on THICK, and do NOT wipe it off. Let it cool the burn and absorb into the skin, and like clockwork by the following day, my sunburn was either gone or cooled down considerably. It also helps keep the skin from peeling :)
Love all the cold creams especially Ponds eye makeup removal I have used everyone of them!❤ I can't believe their are old vintage cold creams I only knew about ponds my grandmother used it for years she looked young she had just a beautiful young looking skin!😘😘🌸
My best friend and I love the Jergens All Purpose face cream. It removes all the makeup, dirt and sweat with ease. One jar of it would last you for months and most certainly could last you a year. The only downside is that it stings your eyes if you have a heavy look or just spend your sweet time massaging it in. It honestly isn't that much of a problem for my friend and I and we highly recommend it.
I was a Beauty Advisor at Merle Norman. The cleansing cream and Miracol that used to be a liquid, I think it’s a cream now. Wow! Flashback! Powder Base foundation was really popular, a cult classic. My favorite was the Total Finish foundation.
I use olive oil with a little rose absolute and frankincense in it as a cold cream cleanser. It works great. Smells lovely. Gets everything off.
My Mom used Pond’s and I used Noxzema as a teen. I loved the medicated feel of it and NEVER had a breakout.
A super old product dating from 1950...awwww. I date from 1951. 🤗
No, I don't use cold cream and never have, as I've always had oily skin. Even at 67, I have an oily area that I try to skip when applying moisturizer. I don't wear heavy enough makeup to need special remover, except when I wear eye makeup. I use baby oil for that. I still use the Clinique three steps. But you make me want a jar of Pond's just to HAVE it, lol.
I also had really oily skin and something I found helpful was to get an exfoliator and scrub my face in the shower then when I get out I put a cold cream and or a small amount of baby oil my face. I personally have found this very help because with the exfoliator you are kind of stripping the skin of mositure and by putting the cream/oil you hydrate the skin so that way your own face doesn't have to produce excess oil. It may take a week or month depends but hope this helped.
Yes you need it, it works so well and so cheap
That’s a great idea!
I'm a new subscriber from Australia. Just wanted to thank you for sourcing vintage items that can still be purchased, it's a great idea for those who like to live the life. I have my grandmother's dressing table and a vintage mirror, comb & brush. Now I'll get Ponds Cold Cream, and I wouldn't mind getting some Yardley's Lavender Water as well
Love your videos. So many of these are products I’ve used and loved and your videos just remind me how I should go back to some of these products. Noxzema was everything in the 80s! Thank you.
Oh my gosh I LOVE Merle Norman and so glad you mentioned their cream! She was truly a pioneer business woman and their products are truly amazing! My aunt, my Mom’s oldest sister, used to work in a Merle Norman in the 1950’s. Isn’t that awesome? And she’s such a glamorous lady. Do you mind if I inquire about the lovely background music?
I have the jergens cream and I bought it solely because of the smell and the awesome 80s vintage packaging with those rando ladies on it lol. It’s very greasy, so good for dry skin, and the smell is lovely. Only problem is, after some time mine turned a bit and some liquid started to rise to the top and pool. I just stir it around with my finger (hygienic, I know! 😆) and it settles back in.
Btw, I love your channel so far. You are not snooty or prissy as many vloggers/TH-cam personalities see to be these days. You have a very relatable and friendly demeanor which I enjoy.
Noxema💕all the way, baby! I love that menthol cool, I use it to wash my face every morning, and as a moisturizer all over. Makes you smell clean like a nurse. It's also great for sunburn, just slather it on! Plus it's still made in the USA!! I only wish it still came in those heavy Cobalt blue jars with a metal lid.
Love Merle Norman products, we had Merle Norman stores throughout San Diego. I never used the cold/cleansing cream but I'm dying to try it. I love their eyeliners and loose powder.
CoverGirl as a line of products that has that famous Noxzema smell, it's in their "CoverGirl Clean" line, I always have a compact powder of that cuz I love how fresh it smells, plus it's cheap. and it's definitely vintage it has been around the last at least 50 years. They have liquid makeup loose powders and pressed powders with that scent of Noxzema. From Ponds, I highly recommend their cucumber cleansing cream, and I also love just the straight moisturizing cream from Ponds with the blue lid. I don't even think that is used as a makeup removal this one is just moisturizer. I use it for my combo skin. Another surprise vintage product that I use directly on my face without bad consequences is Nivea creme. You can get it for a dollar in blue tin at Walmart, or buy it online 13.5 oz in a glass jar. I just read that Marilyn Monroe used it directly on her face, also there are two recent articles online that showed marked improvement in women who used it. I alternate between the blue Ponds the Jergens face lotion and Nivea cream for my face. So far so good!
Oh nice! Thanks for sharing this! I need to try the cucumber ponds. I don’t think we have it in Canada but I’m going to the states next week so I will have a look for the products you mentioned
Just discovered your channel and it's just too perfect for words!Thank you!💖
Noxzema is great for sunburn! When I was younger, before I embraced my pale pinkish skin, I used to try to tan like all my friends. Would get bad sunburns, and my mom put Noxzema on it. Takes the pain right away, and helps moisturize the skin.
I love Noxema as a cleanser after I've removed my makeup. And yes, it does burn your eyes if you aren't careful. But if you avoid your eyes, it leaves your skin feeling so lovely.
Yes I agree it is very refreshing, I want to try it as a mask
I have lived in super hot, tropical climate for several years. Nothing like using noxzema to cleanse my face at the end of a sweltering day.
Wow, I thought everyone had heard of Merle Norman Cosmetics.
No, the only reason I know it is because of an older lady I used to clean for. She used merle Norman almost exclusively.
MrMrsMsMiss Cloud angry rude much? I don’t think any harm was meant by their comment. Merle Norman is just such a staple brand. I think it was merely an exclamation not a condemnation.
As a lover of all things vintage (just like you) I happily use Ponds I love how my skin looks and feels after. ❤️ btw I just barely discovered your videos and I love your videos keep up the good work.
Don't forget to follow me on Instagram and say hello:) instagram.com/dahliasintheattic/
Let me know if you have tried any of these!
I've tried jergens and ponds when I was still younger. I do agree Jergens' packaging is weird 😂 I actually thought the one I used was fake because of the design. 😅 And for the ponds I have the old glass containers. My aunt saved the ones she used and I'm using them now as my pencil holders. :)
Thank you for this video! I'm a new subscriber & I love your content & delivery. Very soothing. My aunt used Ponds every day and she had the prettiest smooth skin even as an elderly lady.
Thank you, mom always had Ponds.....thank for the memories...love your head board , gorgeous
For some reason, I stopped receiving your videos for weeks.
I love when companies do a retro packaging.
Band-Aid put out a series of all their historical band-aid boxes that were so cool looking. Brillo also put out a retro box, which I saved.
Oh that’s annoying you weren’t seeing my videos! So sad I missed that bandaid one that sounded fun
Also back in the early 70s Noxema was promoted and used for sunburns. It’s cooling affect felt wonderful on burned shoulders face and back and it moisturizes! Try it, I still use it.
I’ve used Noxema since I was 15 years old as a face wash I’m 67 now and have tried many other face wash creams and still go back to my old favorite noxema love ❤️ it never had a blemish problem
Noxema is my favorite. I’ve used it for years and I have really good skin. I also use nivea cream on my face at night.
I love it. Reminds me Sooo Much of my Mother, She Also Used Ponds too.
I use all of these and they are amazing and classic 👌🏻
I adore the Merle Norman cold cream, it’s a great brand. My skin just loves it, especially in winter.
Love Merle Norman, has great lipstick. Have a few of them. So creamy and moisturizing
