Noxzema Cleansing Cream Forever

Noxema Cleansing Cream is a staple. Since 1914, it has appeared in its familiar cobalt blue jar. I began washing my face with the cleansing cream at the age of 14 and always come back to it. Containing eucalyptus, soybean and linseed oils, the cream cleans without drying my skin. Camphor, another ingredient, is used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat acne and pimples because it has anti-inflammatory properties.

According to Dr. Andrew Weil, winkles are caused by inflammation. He has formulated an entire line of anti-aging skincare to fight inflammation. I love Dr. Weil's products too, yet at $5 for 14 ounces, Noxzema is substantially cheaper.

It's also a powerhouse multi-tasker. You can use it to relieve a sunburn (the cream's original purpose). BTW: What are you doing staying out in the sun long enough to burn? But if too late, the camphor will soothe your burn.

In a punch, Noxema makes a super moisturizing body lotion also, locking in the moisture after a shower and soothing winter skin with extra hydration.  

What's more, people use Noxema to relieve bug bites and eczema, as well as, shaving cream; removing paint from hands; scuff marks from shoes; and chewing gum from hair and carpets. Plus, it removes makeup, so no need to buy a separate product.

There are 2 formulas: Original and Moisturizing Cleansing Cream. I like them equality (both are moisturizing), but tend to buy the Original version as I like its refreshing scent best. Noxema also comes in a thinner lotion, which I don't think is the best value. Since the cream is light and non-greasy, what's the point of buying a runny lotion consistency (short of being an astronaut floating in space who lacks water😖)? You get less for the money.

At $5 a jar, Noxema is a keeper. There is always one in my bathroom.
