- Hello lovelies, I am sharing with you some affordable vintage drugstore face creams you can still buy today. I know that a lot of the old Hollywood movie stars wore Erno Lazlo, but it is nice to know of some more affordable vintage alternatives that are still very effective. I use all of these vintage drugstore face creams regularly, and I find them to be just as good as some of the high-end face creams. Here is a list of my favorite vintage drugstore face creams you can still buy today.
Neutrogena :
Neutrogena was founded in 1930 by Emanuel Stolaroff and was originally a cosmetics company named Natone. Soon, it grew into a larger business, and he started expanding it into retail markets. Stolaroff met Belgian chemist Edmond Fromont in 1954 and acquired the rights to distribute his patented formula of a mild clear soap that cleared the skin, without drying it, in the US. In 1962, the company name was changed to Neutrogena Corporation.
Neutrogena deep moisture night cream:

This fast-absorbing, non-comedogenic cream formula, with Vitamin D3 and nourishing Glycerin, helps moisturize the skin while you sleep. Vitamin D3 is a superior moisturizer that helps balance skin moisture levels.
Queen Helene:
Queen Helene® brand has been a leader in quality and beauty products for professional and personal use since 1930. Nature's finest ingredients inspire the products because they are safer and are more effective than harsh chemicals and unnecessary additives.
Cocoa Butter Crème:
rstyle.me/+N0rmxlGWVStbRasXHL...
This luxuriously rich, non-greasy crème blends cocoa butter and lanolin to quench and relieve moisture-starved skin. Protects from dryness caused by over-exposure; helps diminish the appearance of wrinkles.
Olay:
Olay originated in South Africa as Oil of Olay. Graham Wulff (1916-2008), a former Unilever chemist, started it in 1952. He chose the name "Oil of Olay" as a spin on the word "lanolin," a key ingredient.
It was unique in the early days because it was a pink fluid rather than a cream, packaged in a heavy glass bottle. Wulff and his marketing partner, Jack Lowe, a former copywriter, had tested the product on their wives and friends and were confident in its uniqueness and quality.
Olay Beauty Fluid:
rstyle.me/+RLaW39W1pPe9ii49tZ...
Replenish skin with 48 hours of moisture with the original Pink Beauty Fluid, Olay’s Active Hydrating Moisturizing Lotion. Since 1952, this daily moisturizer has helped millions of women, all over the world, soothe dry skin with long-lasting hydration.
Olay Active Hydrating Cream Face Moisturizer:
rstyle.me/+zmsFbKy04PAIUYbLSx...
Since 1952 the Olay Active Hydrating Cream Moisturizer has given women rich hydration with its soft petal pink color and feminine scent.
Ponds:
Pond's was invented in the United States as a patent medicine by pharmacist Theron T. Pond in 1846. Mr. Pond extracted a healing tea from witch hazel. Which he discovered could heal small cuts and other ailments. The product was named "Golden Treasure." After Theron died, it would be known as "Pond's Extract. In 1914, the company was incorporated under the name Pond's Extract Company.
By the twentieth century, the company's primary emphasis was selling cosmetics products. The "Pond's Vanishing Cream" and the "Pond's Cold Cream" were created, marking the entrance of Pond's products into the facial care industry.
Ponds Vanishing Cream:
rstyle.me/+q-IWcox5ql0US7do3O...
rstyle.me/+hiUxN6QEHKsvn7QF2i...
Pond's Dry Skin Cream is a face moisturizer that moisturizes deeply and helps prep skin for makeup application and used to be called Ponds Vanishing Cream. It goes hand in hand with the original Ponds cold cream and used to be sold as a set.
Jergens:
Andrew Jergens, Sr founded Jergens Lotion in Cincinnati, Ohio, on April 5, 1882. The company was known as the Jergens Soap Company.
Jergens Face Cream:
rstyle.me/+uxcQZ_lmrT2rNL2-Wx...
Jergens All-Purpose Face Cream has been a classic since the 1950s and was used by Elizabeth Taylor. This is a multi-purpose face cream that also doubles as a moisturizer and cleansing cream.
Avon:
Avon's founder, David H. McConnell, initially sold books as a door-to-door salesman to New York homes. In September 1886, he decided to sell perfumes rather than books. He started the new business in a small office at 126 Chambers Street, Manhattan, New York. McConnell changed the company name in 1892 when his business partner suggested he call it the "California Perfume Company."
Avon Rich Moisture Face Cream :
rstyle.me/+_4gZ9mYWgGeuiUOjZ3...
This face cream has been around since the 1940s and possibly earlier. I wasn't able to find the exact date, but It is shown in my Avon catalogs from the 1940s. I love this cream because it is gentle on your skin and keeps it moisturized without breaking the bank.

Let me know if you want me to feature some other vintage beauty products you can still buy today!
Also, don't forget to follow me on Instagram and say hello:) instagram.com/dahliasintheattic/
Definitely look into Albolene! It's my absolute favorite cleanser/moisturizer. I know their website has some of their history. 🙂
Laura Jane Atelier I’d like to see a video on vintage make up and the tools they used and how women applied their make up.
I love your videos 😊 I'd love to see a video on beauty habits (maybe there won't be so many products involved, but we could still do them nowadays!) or body products.
Weleda - their Revitalizing Hair Tonic has been around since 1921, and their range of Iris face creams have been around for some time too but I'm not sure how long. I remember though buying their Iris soap in the early 90's, but they don't do that any more. The face creams are still available and absolutely great for dry skin.
How about Yardley soap? I think the company was founded in the 1700's.
Not sure if anyone else would be interested in this, but I would love to see videos on vintage products that aren't available today. What rare vintage gems could be found that have been long forgotten?
Yes!!
I know. Some of best products tend to be cancelled out. I recall a red hair color from Clairol series Hydrience called Hibiscus. I have yet to find such an bright auburn that is in the perfect copper red tone like that one. Balsam is another series that has been cancelled. :( Every time I find the right hair color brand and series, it gets cancelled. The only one that hasn't is Manic Panic.
@@LadyCoyKoi They're CONSTANTLY changing colors, ingredients and whatnot. Sad.
When I was a little girl (I'm 70 now) I would go with my father to the "drugstore" and was always drawn to the cosmetic section. I was always mystified by the 'oil of olay' in the pink box with the glass bottle and the lady on the box with her hands on either side of her face. Just couldn't wait till I could start using it. I had very oily skin as a teenager, now that I'm older I'm as dry as a desert...so girls..MOISTUIZE!!!!
No excuse not to moisturize these days with the variety of special skin treatments, and things that are not that expensive
When I was 14 my mother told me to cleanse and moisture every morning and night.
I danced ballet between the age of 7 until I was 25, so I drank ALOT of water.
I used Nivea and Oil of Olay.
Living in Sweden we didn't have ponds or neurogena.
I still use Nivea.
I'm 55 today. No wrinkles.
Wow its great i liked very much your story!
I use Vitamin C oil during the day time to moisturize and as a repair cream I use hemorrhoid cream (lowers the puffiness around the eyes and tightens the forehead and jar-line, while protects the skin from losing moisture due to the petroleum sealing in). People always asked me what is my secret to looking 15 - 20 years younger and it is good eating, using vitamin C oil and hemorrhoid cream. Now if only I can control my uveitis I had developed over time.
I had a hair, face and body routine since the age of 11, which I have been perfecting over time. I'm 37 and it has done wonders. I have students who get amazed when I tell them my age and they tell me I look younger than their 20 year old parents. I tell young folks about the importance of using a good face oil to trap in moisture during the day and to use hemorrhoid cream at night, also drink lots of water and tea throughout the day. Also sleep, lots of sleep. The earlier the better so you look well rested.
@@LadyCoyKoi Do you use vitamin C oil or vitamin C serum?
In my 87 yr old mom's bathroom... Pond's cold cream, Dove soap, Nivea cream, Vaseline, and Neutrogena. O, and always Revlon coral lipstick.
So glad I found your channel. My granny used Ponds and Olay religiously from the time she was a teen in the 40s until she died last year. Even after she lost the ability to speak due to strokes, she'd rub her face and we knew she wanted her face cleaned with Ponds and her Olay rubbed in. She had extremely dry skin. She was 83 when she passed and only had slight wrinkles around her eyes.
That is such a sweet story! Thanks for sharing it, bless you and your family
How about doing vintage hair care products you can still buy today.
Thanks for the suggestion I am working on that
My Mom would cleanse with Ponds every night and put Oil of Olay every morning. Now when I smell them they remind me of her. I miss her so much. ❤⚘
I love cold creams! I’m 55 and my mother is 81 and my grandmother lived to 96 and we got/get complimented on not looking our age and having great skin-we thank all these old time cold creams!!
I'm 58. My grandmother used Pond Cold Cream her entire life and had beautiful skin. There is no reason to buy expensive creams.
Jergens was great too. The cherry almond scent is delicious.
Avon has fantastic products at very reasonable prices.
I drove around the country side selling Avon in the 70s during summers off from college to earn money. I literally went door to door!
Avon calling!
Blooming Accents I love their lipsticks.
Gosh, I love the scent of Jergens. They should make the scent into a perfume, I would definitely buy it.
I think that is very important for younger people to hear we are being bombarded with so much products that cost an arm and a leg that we forget these things hsve withstood the test of time for a reason
Guardian Of The Duat true! Even if the products don’t work with our skin, the history is fascinating.
My granny uses Pond's cold cream.
I bought a jar of Pond's for myself a few weeks ago. I love the smell, and so does my dog. I found her trying to get into the jar one night. 😂😂
I think cold cream is so undervalued these days. I’ve been using Ponds cold cream for months and I love it.
I just bough some ponds and my god where has this been all my life? Seriously i am into horror punk so the eye make up i use is intentionally excessive and out there so finding a make up remover that doesn't leave redness is essential
I just changed from Pond's to Jergen's face cream finding Jergen's to be less oily, plus who doesn't like the $4 price for a huge jar? Note the reviews on any website will have 4.5 to 5 stars for both Ponds and Jergens, can't go wrong with either. Would love to see you do a video comparing a cheaper face cream to your Erno Lazlo products Laura, maybe use each for a month and let us know which is better.
I remember buying the pink beauty fluid of Oil of Olay in the glass bottle Good lord I’m old. I can still remember how it smelled.
Hello Miss Laura, would you pretty please do a video on Lucille Ball? I love your videos and she is a vintage icon I would love to hear more about.
I will add her to my list! Thank you
Yes would love to see it too
I was born 1973. I miss my Grammy so much! In the 70’s early 80’s as a small child I would go through all her face care, and makeup things. She was a huge fan, of Oil of Olay. She used it religiously, and just before she passed away she still didn’t have one wrinkle! No kidding!!! I’m glad I inherited her skin, so blessed! I remember the Oil of Olay glass jar, it was my favorite stuff, it smelled amazing! I searched everywhere for that formula, but couldn’t seem to find it anywhere. It’s just not the same anymore. The one I remember was almost like water consistency, the ones now in the store are more like lotion, I’m kinda sad about that. I also remember the shampoo she used to love, and washed my hair with, it was called Body on Tap. Oh my goodness, what a great shampoo!!! Thank you Laura for your awesome channel! You have took me back to some great memories 🥰
Yay! I love this channel so much! ❤
Thank you
Me too
Love old bottles. How fun to place them on the vanity or dresser. Love when you can find sets.
Hi, could you do a video on Rita Hayworth?
I love Olay and ponds cold cream, my grandmother swore by both of them and my mom always pushed me to use them. I have been using both since I was 15, I am now 32 and everyone thinks I am 25. So y'all moisturize your skin will love you when you're older.
Avon always packaged their products lovely.
My mom is 84 years old and still uses the Jergens face cream. She says it was very popular in Mexico .during her childhood. I use the Jergens body lotion with the original almond scent. Thank you for your videos. I always curl up in the sofa with a cup of coffee and watch them. Hugs from California.
My mother is 64 years old she still use nivea face cream !
Hello. I thought that I recognized you from another channel, Over50andFantabulous. Just wanted to say hello. 😀
@@goldcherry103 Hi ☺️
That moisture rich vanity jar was all kinds of fabulousness. Really beautiful. No clue Ponds was that old. Fascinating 😉
When I was a teenager and had acne I would use that Neutrogena orange glycerin bar soap😊That smell is so nostalgic to me now😊
Sarah Stroud I also used Neutrogena glycerin bar when I was 17 and always enjoyed the fragrance. Later I switched to Ponds and at 66 I still enjoy this product. Wish I could do a commercial.
The vintage packaging for Ponds and Avon was so artistic and beautiful!
I use Ponds Jergens and Oil of Olay I sometimes use products from Avonand I sometimes use Neutrogena but I hadn't knew Neutrogena had been around for that long I also use Pears translucent soap and Ivory and Palm Olive bar soap and I have used the queen Helene cocoa butter face and body cream its pretty good I love the Queen Helene mint julep face mask and I got really excited finding out that Elizabeth Taylor used the same Jergens face cream that I use also thank you for these videos I absolutely love them
Nivea is my favorite
I am currently using Olay. The smell takes me back to my grandma who used to use it and always had beautiful skin. She also used Ponds. I didn’t realise that you could still get it. The smell of the Olay takes me back to being a little girl, I’m 60 next year! Love your vlogs, finding them fascinating.
@chockycake1 Is it the original pink one?? I didn't know it was still made. All I've seen now is the white lotion with SPF...tried it and don't like it at all!!
But, haven't used Olay for years although I started using it when I was 18! It was great. I switched to Clinique many years ago now.
But, would be interested in using some again IF it's the exact same original!! Thx.
I've been using the Pond's Cold Cream to remove make-up and cleanse my skin for about a year now, and my skin has never looked better! I use the Nivea Creme (which I noticed is at the first of the video, but you didn't mention it....?) as a night moisturizer (it's a bit too heavy for day, under make-up) and I wake up with glowing skin. The oldies have stayed around for a reason! They're wonderful ♥️
Might be a somewhat random way to describe but your videos are just chill and very relaxing to watch !
I use ponds and my mom was an olay girl. She looked amazing til the day she died. Once in her forties a woman stopped and asked her for her skincare routine. It was soap, water and olay. The woman was shocked that was it. Turns out she was in development department of clinique
Thats incredible
I use Queen Helens Coco Butter, is great to use on your feet and elbows. The Mint Julip face mask is good for acne , its nice and cool on your skin.
Can someone with dry skin use it?
I love both of those
@@snowwpea maybe for a spot treatment
@@snowwpea Its a bit drying, if you use it, you may want to add a moisturizer afterwards.
Thank you!
Love all those vintage creams. Love your videos ❤️
Thanks lovely
I remember using Ponds Light Moisturizer in high school in 1972. They kept the same scent and put it in the dry skin cream they make now. One sniff and I'm back in the past. Thanks for such a great exploration of the retro beauty landscape.
My mom always used Oil of Olay when I was a kid. She used the white in the glass bottle. It seemed to glamorous to me. The Jergens cream is great and very affordable especially since you get a huge tub.
In the UK Olay was originally called Oil of Ulay. It was changed to Olay same as USA though a while back.
Tried them all. They are all wonderful in their own way. The best is the Pond's Cold Cream, especially now that it is fragrance free.
Love seeing the doll head vases in the background. My grandma collected those.
I loved Oil of Olay! I used it in the early 1990’s not sure why I stopped 🤷♀️ I love Jergen’s Cherry Almond hand lotion ! I didn’t know they made face cream
it would be cool to see you clean out the jars!!!!
the music in your videos is so elegant
In my 20's I was discussing face cream with my aunt. She said to use Pond's because the formula has been around since my Grandma's time. I've been using it ever since.
As I’m settling in to finally wind down after a long day. I scrolled past everything I’ve subscribed to over the years. And picked yours. Well done!
In Australia Oil of Olay was known as Oil of Ulan. Another great moisturizer was Avon's "Dew Kiss" in a tear drop shaped bottle.
I'm a newer subscriber & I enjoy watching ur vids. My mom has used that pink olay face lotion since I can remember and the smell just instantly takes me back. I can remember when it was in the glass jar with the black lid even! Thank u for all the info & showing us all this nostalgic stuff!
Other creams that you can still get today are nivea & the Great Britain version ‘Astral’ my nanny ingrained into me that moisturising is super important so I’ve been using these two (I switch them out) every day since a small child 😂 I always get compliments on my skin & no one knows how old I am ☺️ also astral is cruelty free and that’s also super important! For us to try and buy as many cruelty free things as we can. P.S Joanna Lumley uses astral x
I remember the Avon Lady came every week to my Granny’s house growing up! She would give me the little lipstick samples to play with. ♥️♥️
Pond's, Noxema cold cream used as a teen and still using it at 56.
Simple & beautiful 👗👛👠
Does anyone remember the Avon cream perfumes in the little glass pots with flowers on the lid!?! Those and Tupperware take me back to my childhood in the 70’s.
This Pond's set is so beautiful!! And the Avon vanity jar!
Where do you purchase/order. My mom is German but been in US a long time... Last time I ordered the "original formula" of Nivea face cream in a huge glass jar for her... We always try to spoil her since our dad passed away several years ago.
Love this channel. It's so interesting to know what women used in the past for beauty. I also love your what this celebrity used cosmetic videos.
Absolutely reuse the old beautiful cosmetics containers! I would love to pick them up and feel the smoothness of the glass as I’m applying my face cream.
That pond set is nice
I love Ponds, I use it every night with a washcloth for makeup removal. It gets all the makeup and sunscreen off. They make an un-scented version now too.
I love Nivea and I have used since I was a teenager
Never used Jergens cream. There lotion smelled soooo good
Oil of Olay (the pink fluid) reminds me of my Mom. She always used it and had great skin and always looked young!
Hi beautiful I am newbie here and I love watching you, I love a lot of vintage stuff I’m glad I found you on TH-cam, can’t wait to see more of your videos oh by the way I love using ponds for my Moisturizer, it’s my go to I use it every day and night and I love the way my face looks I have very dry skin and it works great
Love vintage perfume. Love to watch your videos. I am 57 and I recognize some of the products.
I would watch a video like that but understand not wanting to break the seal on a vintage cream. 💅🏻
Great video!
Jergens has been my Holy Grail cleanser for decades.
I would love to see you replace the cream in the old jars. I been wanting to find some vintage glass jars myself to replace all my plastic containers
Thanks for your videos. I love vintage especially the 1940's.
Ponds cold creme is still the best makeup remover around.
Your voice and vintage things calm me a lot, I watching your chanel replace asmr chanel before I go to sleep now.
The smells bring back childhood memories. Love them but dont use them as the ingredients make me break out.
We pronounced Queen Helene... Queen Heleen.
Lisa Dominick Yes ! Queen Hel-Len! Not Queen “Helen” which sounds so pedestrian and ordinary.
I too pronounce it Queen Heleen.
I LOVE your channel! I love everything vintage, and always have. I have a lot of vintage fragrance/toiletries bottles around my medicine cabinet. Seems the packaging of days gone by was SO much more lavish than now.
Do it!! lol … I own and use Jergens Face Cream regularly and have used the other creams over the years. I bought a jar of Queen Helene's Mint Julep Masque probably 40 years ago. The masque dried to this almost plaster of Paris hardness and had to lean over the sink while pressing a wet washcloth to my face for it to come off. Gave it away after that.
so neat you used that mask 40 years ago
@MB Does MB stand for Moronically Bored, meaning you will come on a channel and make a smart arsed remark so, you know, will feel better about yourself?
I love that mask but use very rarely as my skin is more dry/combination and it is strooonng! It will pull any congestion like black heads right out of your skin. I dilute the paste with water and only leave it on half the recommended time.
I, too, used the Queen Helene’s mint julep mask as a teenager and young adult - same time frame as you - 40 or so years ago. The clay would harden, and you’d gave to moisten it to get it off. It worked well. I also used Oil of Olay back then. Thanks for the memories!
Your videos are the absolute best
Love the idea of putting products bought today into vintage containers, I’ve been thinking about doing that myself☺️
I love the smell of the eight hour cream form Elizabeth Arden!
Watched again, love your videos.
I actually just picked up some Pond's cold cream today, and I also love their Rejuveness, Crema S, and Clarant B3 moisturizing creams. Our local Big Lots has the small jars of all of these for $2, and they last me about a month. They're also a great trial or travel size!
I like Ponds Rejuveness between Glycolic acid peels.It has a mild acid in it IIRC. Alpha hydroxy acid. Nice maintenance till the next week's acid treatment
That and the Clarant. Like I said above to Laura, I am working on a nice pallor [ seriously. I've avoided the sun for years now and want a look like Lugosi in Dracula or Twilight. I'm not even an Emo, I just like a pale look] with Clarant and Porcelana. I know: weird. But fun to make an attempt. Too olive skinned but I get great shaves, no pimples or clogged pores and no age spots.
I loved this video. I now appreciate this inexpensive household creams much more.
What a fun video - thanks! LOVE your new title of Dahliasin the Attic!! x
I still use the Jergens and Nivea every night on my face. I love them!
I used Pond's Cold Cream when I was in my teens - I think I had a peach-scented one, if I remember correctly. Also, I recently bought the empty Avon cream jar with the silver top. I bought it at an Antiques Mall, and it looks lovely on my vanity. Thanks for another great video!
Thanks for your amazing research job. I love your channel. So elegant!
Really great video. So informative and entertaining. I had no idea Neutrogena has been around for so long. I've been using their transparent glycerine soap for years plus their night cream, it never irratates my skin and so far have very few wrinkles for my age. I remember my grandmother using the Jergens line. I lived how it smelled. I feel like going and buying some now just for nostalgia sake. Thanks for the videos and rhe effort you put into them
Your channel is amazing. I live and breathe the notion that if it's still going strong today it must work! My all time favorate beauty products is the original eight hour cream. I use it for everything!!
I remember the blue Avon jar and the glass one. My aunt use to sell Avon so I would try all the creams and little lipstick testers when I was a kid.
Thank you for the beautiful videos! You, too are beautiful! Love your dress! The background music is lovely and relaxing.
I really enjoyed this one. My Gran used to use Ponds and my Mom used Oil of Olay. These products remind me of them. Thank you.
Wonderful video, and I’d love a video of you transferring new product into corresponding vintage jars! 💕
ok so glad you are into that idea
This was such a great video! I use Olay beauty fluid as a day moisturizer and nivea cream at night 😁
Great idea about using the old packaging to store the new ones in. Definitely interested in that video idea with the exception of the Ponds gift set I would leave that one alone to keep it's value plus it's pretty to look at intact :)
I love Oil of Olay and always have a bottle around. If I couldn't afford anything else, I could be content to use it all the time. I love that it was invented the year I was born. I remember one of my elderly aunts always had Avon rich moisture on her dresser. Those original Avon creams were affordable. Today, they come out with more and more high tech expensive creams, but my aunt had lovely skin! Jergen's lotion and soap were household staples when I was a child.
God, I looooove your videos!!! I am a new follower and I fell in love with you (nothing creepy xD) and your channel! You are so underrated. Wish you all the luck and happiness in the world! Keep up the good work :)))
Same here. Lol its not creepy cause I also became a fan of this channel recently
Had no idea olay was from South Africa! Love the videos!
Great idea.. Would love to see a video of opening the vintage jars and replacing the creams !!
Wow ! Great information. I had no idea about the Queen Helene. I see that around here in Florida stores. I am going to try the mask. Love to mask!! 💟👑thank you Laura
Great video! Ponds has been my favorite for a long time. The scent is lovely and comforting to me too💝 I also love Okay! I miss there makeup, the lipstick was the best💕
bummer I never knew they had lipstick
Hi Laura Jane! I absolutely am obsessed with your channel! We are both cut from the same cloth. As I have been traveling down to see my parents for Thanksgiving I have been binge watching your videos. I have purchased something, that you had suggested on Amazon already. You are a really huge help on products. Please keep doing what your doing. I love Pinky to. Beautiful kitty! 🥰 Have a wonderful Thanksgiving
+Piper Tudhope thank you so much 😊 I hope You have a lovely thanksgiving
Ponds creme is from 1846?!?! Wow. Now I know I need to try it.
Love!!
I loved this video very educational.
These vintage packaging are amazing.I would totally replace the products with fresh ones and put them all in my vanity.
Oooo vintage eyeshadow would be interesting!
I loved this informative and lovely video💕
Oh id love to see a video of you transferring to the vintage packaging! You’d be able to get use out of them and enjoy them more, too if you decide to do it. I remember my grandma would always say “ save for later” and her friends “for special occasions”. I use to be paralyzed by this mentality, until I read a short story called Everyday Use. Why buy something or keep it gathering dust if you don’t use it and enjoy it? Isn’t that what “knickknacks “ are for? Lol!
