Pros:

The Menthol makes this product very comfortable and refreshing to use as well as clearing your sinuses. It also moisturizes your face, so you don't have to use a moisturizer afterwards.

Cons:

It leaves an oily residue from the Menthol, however that is partially why is moisturizes after use.

I use my skin care products while in the shower because when you put your hands to your face they are clean and spread less bacteria along with the steam from the shower opening your pores so the product works better. If you dislike the residue feeling, you can use a basic face cleanser (I use Biore foaming cleanser) it will take most of it off.

It's very nice, I like the product's scent and it works really well. It showed a difference in my skin immediately. I don't have bad acne, but it's very resilient so it always there. I have problem areas where it is worse too, so having this work so quickly is a plus. Because of all the different ingredients however, someone with sensitive skin might want to stay away from the product because they might have allergies to it. Use it in the shower for better, healthier results.

Pros:

Reduces redness
drastically reduces inflamed pimples
Cheap
Easy to acquire / use

Cons:

Some might not like the smell, but it isn't bad.
Left my face feeling like I hadn't washed it.
Some don't like the packaging (dipping fingers into tub, spreading bacteria)
Makes your skin white (this is a plus for me however)

I've always heard about Noxzema and how great it is. Today I went out to the local drug store and purchased a 12oz tub of Noxzema (original, not sensitive) and I'm pleased with it after just one use. I have severe acne on my face, chest, back, neck, etc. I put this on my face and left it while I washed in the shower, and then washed and rubbed it in circles. When I got out of the shower I noticed my face wasn't red, and inflamed pimples I had on my skin were flattened out and well on their way to being healed. All in all this is a great product so far. I rubbed a bit on my arm, red from daily sun exposure (I'm very fair, a natural redhead) and immediately after rinsing my skin was less red, I'm very happy about this (although it doesn't necessarily pertain to acne)

Pros:

Everything. I loved it, it got rid of all my acne in less than 2 days!!!

Cons:

None. Absolutely none. If anyone had cons, they were using it wrong..no doubt.

My skin feels great. It looks just like the celebrities skin, but only nothing is on my face for the look. Everyone thinks I put on skin makeup, but I don't have to anymore. It's absolutely great.

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:

Very cheap, minty tingle, doesn'tdry

Cons:

Packaging, consistency, greasy feeling after wash, zit surprise in the morning

I am writing about the oiginal fomula. I decided to try this, because I found its history a little "fascinating." Obviously, it was a mistake. First off, the packaging is very bad. It's in a plastic jar with a very wide mouth, so the product is always susceptible to contamination (this is the reason we don't store reagents in beakers in the lab). Also, one dips his fingers into the jar every time he uses it, and the hands are among the dirtiest parts of the body; you almost always don't know where they've been, or what microorganisms they've been collecting from wherever. In the winter, the product collects into a solid, and one has to "scrape off" the cream in order to use it. Hence, further contamination. After washing, your skin won't be dry, but your face and hands do feel greasy. Oh yes, you'll love the minty tingle (even though, if you stick your nose into the jar, the product stinks. Sleep it off, and in the morning, you get a horrible zit surpri

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.

Pros:

I love the smell and the way it cools my skin.

Cons:

I used it this morning and 12 hours later the pores on my neck and chest are completly clogged. Basically a rash from breast to chin. Thanks Noxzema! If you want a sure way to clogged pores noxzema a fine bet, sure money.

If you have large pores stay away, it will clog them.

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
