Noxzema Classic Clean Classic Clean Original Deep Cleansing, 12 oz

I've been using Noxzema since I was 11 (over 40 years). In the U.S., it was recommended by dermatologists for teenage acne (think it still is). My mother also found that whenever she asked women with good skin (in the U.S.) what they used, the answer was almost always Noxzema. It's very different from cold cream in texture, & is also noncomedogenic (won't block pores). It takes a little getting used to (for the first 4-7 days it will tingle), &I've had some in the UK try to put me off it; but wouldn't be without it. I use it to wash (with face cloth & warm water) & also to moisturiser after patting my face dry. It's great to have on hand for sunburn & insect bites too (cooling & soothing). I read somewhere that Christina Aguilera uses it. I'm not surprised. I never had teenage acne (just the odd spot here & there) and am regularly complimented on my skin & lack of wrinkles. Have tried more expensive products, but always return to Noxzema - the expensive products just don't deliver results anywhere near as effectively, in my opinion; proving (at least to me) that more expense doesn't always buy a better product..I would add that this product should arrive stiff (it needs to be scooped out). If scooped out with wet fingers or kept for awhile in a high temperature, it will 'curdle' & go watery. This is normal & doesn't make the product unusable (although I WOULD recommend pouring out excess liquid, mixing well with a clean knife or stick, & placing in a fridge for awhile - it won't return the cream back to its original state, but will help).

They have changed the recipe (its not the same one I used for last 20 years which was thicker and preferable - this new one is thinner/watery with liquid collecting on the top and drips off my face.Update 27 Nov 2019: If you shake the tub (lid on of course ) the cream sticks to the lid and the water drips off - next time you open it - you can use the thicker cream in the lid and the water collected can be poured off. Ive been doing this daily (about a week now) - still too much water in the bottom adn the cream is watery - but the cream on the lid is much thicker.Actually - the new formula - whilst not as good as the old - is still ok - its the watery/thickness thats the biggest issue. So will move it to a 3 star. (from a 2)-----------------The following is a cut and paste is from a web forum - I take no liability for its accuracy but it makes sense to me:Noxzema has indeed changed the formula in their classing cleansing cream. I know a lot of us love to use Noxzema as a pre-shave, but now, just like they did with their canned shaving cream years ago, they have removed the camphor, phenol and menthol from the Noxzema cream. Here's the response I just received from Unilever:Thank you for contacting us regarding Noxzema Classic Clean Original Deep Cleansing Cream.In order to stay competitive in today's market we responded to consumer's requests to improve our product.

I used to use this when I lived in America many years ago. Always loved how it made my face feel so when I saw that you sold it, I was over the moon. It makes my skin feel all tingly and wow! Xxc

So this item arrived on time, and in Lightning fast record for me (personally!) .. Absorbs really well, easily removed with luke-warm tepid water (along with my conjac sponge -- Easy peasy lemon squeezy!)..and I use it as a leave-in conditioning cream for my face and my hair overnight too. No more tiny red spots near to scalp and hairline! It's still early days to do a thorough indepth review. But mark my words once I've given this a good 28 days (as with all new skin emollients / oils and creams for the face area) then I'll be back to give my true-blue honest thoughts on the matter. But I kid you not. No word of a lie. I woke up this morning with Fresh Face (glowing) and my beard even seems softer and healthier looking? Tiny red spots / redness and discolouration nearest to my mouth and chin have faded already!! I Mean. Wtf? I've never used a product which worked so quickly overnight!! I Knew Eucalyptus oil would be beneficial for my skin tone and blemish prone skin type. But wowza what a lovely surprise to wake up and look in the mirror and my skin looked GOOD for a change! :) Super happy so far.Be back soon for a definitive indepth review on this incredible smelling, awesome feeling sensation-al cream! :)

I once read that if you met an American over the age of 45 with great skin, then it was almost certainly due to Noxzema, and now, a few years since I replaced face soap with this, i think I agree.So, you use it just like soap. First wet your face- I normally do it after shaving- then scoop up about a teaspoons worth of Noxzema, and use it just like you would the soap.It cleans as well as soap, it moisturises my skin really well, and it gives a tingly clean sensation.I wouldn’t ever use it on ‘other bits’ because I guess whatever gives the tingle wouldn’t feel so good there!A tub of 12oz is the one to go for - they work out at around ten pounds, depending on any offers, and they last around 2 months.The smell is fresh, clean, and quite strongly of eucalyptus- be sure you like that kind of minty, clove-y smell before you buy. It’s at least as good a moisturiser as the products I used before, and it cleans well without drying.All told, I love this product!
