Noxzema
LittleBunny (393 reviews)

This has worked on and off for me for a number of years. I've used it for awhile with good resullts, but then my skin would start breaking out. I do like the tingling sensation and the consistency, but it was inconsistent with how it affected my skin. — 1 year, 3 months ago

Not the best cleanser...
LipglossandSpandex (487 reviews)

I have the Noxzema Deep Cleansing Cream for Normal/Dry Skin Plus Moisturizers. The tub reads "Noxzema Plus...that Noxzema deep clean with added moisturizers. For clean, healthy-looking skin, use Noxzema every time you wash. Noxzema Plus gives you that trusted Noxzema deep clean with added moisturizers to condition skin. You can feel Noxzema working as it removes dirt, oil and makeup without overdrying. The water-based formula with camphor, menthol and eucalyptus tingles and refreshes skin, leaving it feeling clean, soft and smooth." PROS: Tingly feel. CONS: Tingly feel. Menthol smell. As product gets lower, it will be more difficult to get out of the tub container. Leaves an oily residue that sits on top of the skin, doesn't feel moisturizing (while the first ingredient is water, many of the ingredients are oils). My face does not feel clean after washing (although it hasn't given me any breakouts, but that's probably b/c of the Accutane I'm on!). I got this on clearance, so I might just end up throwing it away. I'll try and use it though, maybe only at night (and Cetaphil in the morning). It says for Normal/Dry skin and my skin is super dry right now, but it doesn't really moisturize... Would nor recommend for Normal skin. — 3 years, 1 month ago

kenya (498 reviews)

this is seriously one of the best cleansers i have ever used! when i used this, i could really feel my skin getting clean. its infused with eucalyptus and mint so you can feel your pores tingling. i even used this as a spot treatment and it made my pimples decrease in size and redness! the cleanser is so refreshing and skin clearing! — 1 year, 3 months ago

Classic
Bon_Bon (454 reviews)

I really love this stuff, and there's a reason why it's been around so long, it works wonders on skin! I grew up with this smell because my grandmother used it every morning and night and now I'm hooked too. Leaves my skin soft and clean (unless I've had a bad day and I've layers on my make up then I use a different method before Noxema). You can't say no to it! — 2 years, 7 months ago

Great Cleanser
Stef42678 (479 reviews)

This product worked really well on my face as a cleanser and a great makeup remover. I like that it cleans out my pores and doesn't feel heavy. It feels cool and great for using everyday for clean skin. — 3 years ago

Classic!
thedragonslady (472 reviews)

I used this through my teens and early twenties, always had clear skin. Also used it as a moisturizer when needed. Works great on cooling sun/wind burn. In fact I am going to introduce this into my husband's and son's skin care. — 3 years, 10 months ago

Great for summer
darkangel81 (289 reviews)

This is a great cleanser in the morning. The tingling sensation will certainly wake you up! It helps me fight the oiliness in my skin. It helps to keep my pores clear so my acne is more under control. I love the menthol smell. Reminds me when my grandmother would buy this for me when I was a pre-teen. I find it fun to use this all the way down to the bottom of the tub, trying to scoop it all out. This also works great if you have a sunburn. Helps to cool the skin!!! This would receive all 10 stars but the only thing it doesn't really do that well is remove eye makeup. I have another cleanser that does that for me. Other than that, it's a great product that works!!! — 2 weeks, 2 days ago

Pretty good!
yestfl (120 reviews)

I really like this product! It does the job, keeps your face clear of impurities and does not smell too bad (in my opinion it smells great, but my friend hates the smell of this product). It could be too drying if you use it too frequently, but that's why I only use it once a day, or once every other day, depending on the condition of my skin that day, or the amount of activity I'm doing. Great on the go, or for traveling too. The price is not bad. in my opinion, one of the best cleansing pads out there to prevent acne. — 1 month ago

Excellent product!
tallredamanda (150 reviews)

I don't use this product as a cleanser (not since my teens), but I keep a huge jar under my sink at all times anyway. Why? Because it's the best treatment I have ever found for a sunburn. With my fair skin I often get burned no matter how diligent I am with the sunblock. I slather on a layer of this creamy cool Noxema cleanser, let it sit for 2-5 minutes, then I rinse it off in the shower. It takes the heat right out of the burn and moisturizes the damaged skin. For bad burns I'll do this for two or three showers in a row, but it really helps speed healing and I almost never peel. — 2 months, 2 weeks ago

Pretty average performance
azdrienne (101 reviews)

Oh, how I wanted this to work for me! It seems to be a miracle cure for all skin types...but not mine. I have oily skin with occasional breakouts. I wouldn't say this worsened my skin, but it did nothing to improve it and it doesn't seem to clear oil as well as alternative cleansers. It also claims to clean off makeup, but it did not fully remove my eye makeup (and I don't even use waterproof formulas). At least it's easy to find and inexpensive. I did like the refreshing scent and feel, but otherwise I was unimpressed. — 1 year, 3 months ago
