Dr. West's Magical Revivification FormulaTM! Another fine product from the Romero Corporation, a Skeletal Family Company!
(Side effects may include a shambling gait, a slight rotting aroma, and an irrational craving for the flesh of the living. Should your skin split and slough off of your wet, gleaming skull, discontinue use immediately.)
Given the known limitations of the four-color printing process on cheap newsprint, perhaps photographic testimonals weren't the wisest method of marketing a skin care product, especially when the rictus-grinning models looked like they just stepped in from a community theater production of Carnival of Souls.
Zombina and The Skeletones - Nobody Likes You (When You're Dead) (from Taste the Blood of Zombina and The Skeletones, 2002) - Well, nobody that you would necessarily want to like you, that is.
Thirteen at Midnight - Skin Deep (from a 1983 single) - The Not-Quite-Human League.

Grainy newsprint or not, those are some pretty terrifying models.
