The Erno Laszlo Active Phelityl Intensive Cream ($62) lives up to its name — it's intense AF. It's not for the faint of heart; it's more like a balm than a cream, and has a distinct '50s-esque powdery perfume to it — an indication that these products were certainly of the times. Definitely stick to Laszlo's recommendation on how to use it. He said to apply the cream to your face, lips, neck, and décolleté. Then, "wash off immediately with a large piece of cotton saturated to the dripping point with well-shaken Controlling Lotion — except around eyes and on lips where you shall blot cream off with tissues."
