I forgot how wonderful this stuff makes your skin feel! And the scent reminds me of when I was little and my sister would use it! So, for $2.50/jar I get comfort smells, and wonderful clean skin! Just thought I would share!

I like the smell of it, unfortunately it burns my (uber-sensitive) skin.

I, too about six months ago rediscovered Noxzema. It is the only thing that my sister has ever used on her face and she is over 50 and her skin looks great. I love the smell of it and how clean it gets my face. I guess it brings back memories for both of us.

Some people swear by it, but it's not for everyone. I too have sensitive skin and can't use it.

haha funny store about noxema. When we were younger my sister and I were throwing something up into the air in our bedroom. It hit the ceiling, and made a huge dent in it. My sister and climbed on top of our bunk bed and slathered some noxema in the hole. it dried perfectly into the ceiling, and our parents were none the wiser!

That is hilarious!

I hope my kids never try it

i always buy nn noxema from walmart, half the price. Love the smell too.

I can still smell that jar that my mom used to have. Think I'll get one!!
BTW, the above story was really funny. Have you ever fessed up?

**ellebee** · 08-19-2007, 05:30 PM

oh I always used that as a teenager - maybe I should try it again!

**wulong32** · 08-20-2007, 12:40 AM

nope our secrets still safe with my sister and i!

Wulong32, that was a hilarious story!

I am in my 50's and still keep a jar around. And use it to remove makeup and get skin clean, and to smell that clean smell! And I agree--the nn is just as good as the 'real'. We used to put it on sunburn too, but i don't think it did anything but cool it down.

I love this stuff....been using it on and off since I was a child. For sunburns, bugbites and pretend facials

Its a great facial mask but I use it to wash my face when travelling b/c I never know if the water is hard/soft etc and it seems to balance well. I've used it as a moisturizer in a pinch but it its a bit heavy for my face. I never liked the oil free version - that was weird!!

But for now I just use the Walmart brand for $2.73 for the jumbo tub and fill a travel size one for my toiletry case. Its classic and it works and yes the smell is 'classicly clean' I love it!
