You may not know Erno Laszlo’s name, but in Fifties and Sixties New York the Hungarian-American dermatologist’s skincare solutions served the likes of Truman Capote, Yul Brynner and Cary Grant.
Laszlo passed away in 1973, but his company is still breaking barriers with new extensions to the Phormula 3-9 line – joining the balm are a serum and a cream.
Available now from Harrods and the website below, the pots will set you back £275 each, soothing and brightening skin with their anti-inflammatory and hydrating properties. Now, as for Cary Grant’s toothpaste of choice, your guess is as good as ours, we’re afraid.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
