Pros:

NONE

Cons:

Everything

I hate this stuff! Before i became a skin care specialist i had used this product seeing as i had basiclly tried everythig and never understood why it broke me out. Now i know its MENTHOL! After studying about the skin for so long you come to realize there are so many ingredients that can irritate and aggravate the skin.I do not reccomend this product but as most people know what works for some may not work for you.

Pros:

tingly feeling makes you feel like it must be doing something

Cons:

broke my skin out in a rash, made it more sensitive than ever

I used to use noxzema when i was 14 and i remember having relatively good skin, so when my skin recently broke out (at 26 years old) i decided to try it out again. twice i started using it since after the first application my skin always seemed invigorated. but after a few days i noticed that both my face and neck were developing little red bumps. i had accredited this to my makeup and even to my shampoo, surely it COULDN'T be the noxzema! last month i tried it for the 3rd time and realized that it truly was the common denominator. i thought it might just be me, but apparently it does this to a lot of skin types. if you want my recommendation, just STAY AWAY! noticed this with burt's bees cleanser as well, and it also is a white cream that gives you that 'tingly' feeling. what ingredient could it be? anyway, as soon as i stopped using these cleansers, my skin looks and feels MUCH better!

Pros:

GETS RID OF OIL, MAKES YOUR SKIN GLOW, removes makeup nicely

Cons:

none

Whats wrong wit everyone? This stuff is amazing. i have sensitive oily acne-prone skin and usually AFTER i wash my face a few hours later its gets right back oily and inflamed. I used tazorac, brevoxvly and otc stuff. This worked wonders. I used to use it in middle school when my skin rarely broke out. Now i see why my skin was so clear. NOXZEMA! OH YEAH THIS WAS AFTER JUST ONE USE

Very decent !
while it's on i love the tingle feeling as it works in my skin. when I rinse it off my skin feels clean. if you have oily skin I wouldn't recommend putting on a moisturizer after because after a while your face will create a bit of glow and a moisturizer will make it more shiny and oily. it definitely dries out your bumps and you will begin to see your bumps flatten. it is a really good product for a little skin clearing.

How can I buy this cream
June 20, 2018
Don't try this
I bought this product because I have very bad acne and sensitive skin. Noxzema is terrible and made my face tingle, but did nothing to help with my acne or clear up my skin.

This ruined my skin
I've been using it for about two weeks, thinking maybe what I had noticed was all in my head, but now my skin is rashy, blotchy and broken out. DO NOT BUY. I am very upset about this as now I have to repair the damage it has done to my skin.

It’s not gonna work instantly. Your face has to get use to the product.

Loved the smell
Loooved the smell but didn't take my acne away.

Pros:

feels like mint.

Cons:

planted acne all over my face, does not completely remove make up.

basically, I can't find my usual walgreens make up remover so I gave this a shot. I just got out from a VERY serious acne condition (big puss-filled boil-like nodes,my coworker even asked me if I got ambushed by bees) but my skin recovered and even looked just like it was on my tenth birthday. :) thank goodness. but a week or two with this stuff and my face started to have it's acne vendetta again. I'll throw the bottle away. what a nightmare.
