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:

-clears acne
-cleanses skin
-brightens skin
-can wear overnight

Cons:

Some things just shouldn't have a con box.

Been using this since I was a little kid (I'm assuming this is the new version of what I used). It really does dry up pimples without drying your skin. About 3 years after I started using this, I switched to Neutrogena Wipes for a while (they work too, but not as well). Then I started using Clearasil (Worst. Purchase. Ever.) I'm off to go get some for of this and hopefully dry up this whitehead that's been on my chin since fifth grade off and on and has come back. It works.

Pros:

The menthol gives you the tingly cleansing feeling
Less oil on my face
Acts fast on all pimples and ance
WORKS WONDERS ON COMBINATION OR OILY SKIN!

Cons:

The weird white residue

I tried lots of different ance products fromYes to Tomatoes,Clearsil , Clean and Clear to AnceFree,but none of these products really worked for me. I have just started using Noxema again for 3 to 4 days, and my skin looks brighter, feels cleaner, and less oiler. EVERYTHING I NEED A CLEANSER TO DO! You should try it,it does wonders for my combination skin.

Pros:

cool and refreshing!
soothes your skin, making your skin less red.
nice smell.
wakes your skin up.
much cheaper and better than my original face was.

it pretty much makes your skin look amazing.

Cons:

none really. like at all.

i'm not sure if it helps acne (i finally went to a dermatologist and am on antibiotics and using benzaclin and differin.) but this face was is a nice compliment to go along with my skin care routine .... i love the smell it wakes me up in the morning and my skin looks so much healthier for some reason... and its much cheaper than my original face wash (burt's bees soap bark and chamomile) which was like 12-15 dollars (that is a good face wash to, i've used it for like 2 years) but for some reason i wanted to try noxzema and i prefer it to the burt's bees.

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:

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:

-feels good when/after washing
-smells good
-cleans really good
-reduces inflammation

Cons:

-some don't like the smell but I do.

I used this for a couple days along with another new acne medication (Neutrogena clear pore oil eliminating astringent) but I stopped using it cause my skin was red and dry. So about a week ago I tried it again, and it was fine! My skin is soft and clean and all the other pros. Also my mom used it.

slightly better than Dial on your face
This was what I was using in middle school. I was still breaking out. I remember the waxy film. It removed makeup well without being too alkaline as barsoap had, but it didn't touch my acne.
