Medicine

Cabinet

➸the strategist has surfacedthousands of best-in-

class drugstore items over the years, from the nasal inhalers that

tuk-tuk drivers use in Thailand to the circa-1864 mouthwash that

historian Walter Isaacson swears by. But neither a Rite Aid nor a high-

end apothecary carriesallof our specificfavorites—so we created our

own drugstore at thestrategist.com. Here, we’ve stocked a perfect

medicine cabinet with products recommended by our own staff

writers, frequent travelers, celebrities with exacting taste, and lots

of doctors (of course, you should consult your own doctor, too).

These creams, sprays, and powders tend to cost about as

much as any of their CVS counterparts—with excep-

tions, like the $23 Yves Klein–blue eyedrops that turn

the reddest eyes a pleasing white.
