Chic packaging and a promise of fixing skin might be garnering customers now. However, Indians still love their 'OGs' a little too much and are possessive about them too. Yes, we are talking about some of the classic skincare products and the nostalgia attached to them.
Well, people might have got some new flings (new skincare brands) but there are nothing like the charm of products like Vaseline, Boroline, Kailas Jeevan, and Vicco Turmeric, among others.

Most people answered that even though they don't use these products any more, they bring them back fond memories from their childhood days and remind them of their their grandparents and are essential parts of their lives. While others talked about how these products are still important parts of their day to day lives and are like generational wealth which have been passed onto them which they are going to take it forward to the next gen.
These brands might not be the hottest topics in beauty discussions anymore, but they have stood the test of time for good reasons and here are some reasons that make them so special:
These 'not so chic' skincare products remain popular because they work. They offer simple, effective solutions for common skincare issues, often at a fraction of the cost of high-end products. Additionally, their long history and reliability make them trustworthy choices for many.
So, in a world filled with fancy skincare products, don't overlook the classics. Sometimes, the simplest solutions can be the most effective in keeping your skin healthy and beautiful.
