Zest soap: Zestimonial. (1978)

My soap: I see a film on the side dipped in my soap. It looks like I’m not getting as clean as I thought. If it’s on the picture, most likely it’s going to be on my body also. It bothers me!

Zest: The Zest side looks clean. I went home and tried Zest. Zest gave me a lot of lather. I rinsed and one time did it. I feel cleaner. My body feels like my picture looked. Clean. I’ll buy Zest. I like it.

The above sentences are excerpts taken from hidden camera interviews of Linda Jackson. At that time, we asked her to bathe pictures of herself, like the ones above, in her favorite soap and Zest. We also asked her to try Zest at home. She found out Zest made her feel cleaner than her soap.

Try Zest. Like Linda Jackson, you’ll feel cleaner and fresher than with soap.

Should you use a soap made for sensitive skin? (1979)

(Even if yours isn’t)

Maybe you don’t have problems with your skin very often. Then why should you even think about using a soap specifically formulated for sensitive skin?

There’s a very good reason.

A soap that is pure enough, mild enough and safe enough for sensitive skin is bound to be good for yours.

Neutrogena is just such a soap. It was made originally for sensitive skin. We use only the finest quality ingredients on the market when we make it.

Neutrogena is uniquely formulated to rinse off completely, so it leaves no potentially-irritating residue on your skin. It’s been recommended for years by doctors to patients who otherwise couldn’t use soap.

We believe you can’t buy a finer soap for skin care than Neutrogena. And now you can find it in four formulas, adapted for different skin types. So whether you have a skin problem or just don’t want one, give your skin the best care you can.

Consider Neutrogena soaps, developed for sensitive skin. One of them is bound to be good for you.
