Pros:

- Cooling effects feels nice.
- Seems to tighten pores.
- Cheap for huge quantity.

Cons:

- Leaves on a film that won't wash off.
- Gives little pimples.
- Overdrying.

I really wanted this to work since I've read a lot of good reviews, so I tried it for 2 weeks despite it making me break out... It even caused my facial eczema to come back on my cheeks, which I find ironic considering the product is called NOxzema... Oh well.

"old trusty" or "old busty"
I used to use noxema when I first started breaking out with acne in middle school and it worked, it helped control my acne and all, it made my face feel so deeply clean and fresh. I'm 21 years old now, haven't used noxema in years. So about 2 weeks ago I was breaking out a little, and decided to pick up the "old trusty" noxema..... Love how clean it made my face feel, however, it made me break out like crazy! I used it for about 3 weeks, and I started breaking out worse than ever in a long time. I thought I was breaking out because I wasn't drinking enough water, or eating healthy enough. So, I began to drink more water and started eating less greasy foods. And, I WAS STILL BREAKING OUT BAD! I REFUSED to believe my "old trusty" noxema would do me like this. A friend suggested that I stop using the noxema, anyways, still convinced it was not the noxema, I decided to listen to my friend's advice, because I was desperate to clear my skin. About a week later all the acne on my face was diminished. I IMMEDIALTY threw away my "old trusty" noxema. I don't know if something has changed with the tolerance or sensitivity of my skin? or if they changed the formula? Maybe just a bad batch perhaps? I will not buy again though.... I can't take that risk. Don't know why it won't work for me now... like it did when I was a adolescent?

Doesn't help greasy skin and blackheads.

Pros:

Easy to use...i guess

Cons:

Face feels greasy
Doesn't help blackheads
Made my pimples worse - clogged pores

I used to use it every night after washing my face in the shower. I would rub it in my face with a cool wet washcloth. It made my face greasy and made my blackheads stand out, not to mention made my pimples tingle a lot. I have now stopped and started using more natural stuff, like Witch Hazel and PH spray.
