I have never tried Noxzema, hope it works, sounds like it works for some and not for others, good luck!

Don't you remember how it was that one day? Ewww. :o

I use Oil of Olay, but I bought one lately by ST Ives, an apricot scrub, it is really good, feels like sandpaper on your face, but after washing it off , it feels good, and can be bought in local supermarket for $6.99 compared to olay at $11.00, so I might stick with it for a while.

I use that apricot scrub all the time. I used it everyday when I was on acutane because my skin was constantly peeling. Now I use it 3-4 times a week. They also have the medicated version for acne prone skin, it's a blue and white container.

I use proactive, I had really bad acne and it's the only thing I've found that's worked for me.

I used to use all kinds but now I swear by the Clinique 3 step line. And the Foaming Facial cleanser to really take my makeup off then follow with the 3 step line. The step 2 toner is awesome!! I always feel better after I use it! :cool:
As for scrubs, I love the Totally Juicy line - the Apricot face scrub is awesome. And the Noxema extra gentle facial scrub is excellant also.
I never had much luck with Noxema, I love the tingling feeling that it gives, and it works wonderfully on sunburnt skin, but I wear a lot of makeup so it doesn't really take it off. I tried the new Noxema Triple clean, and I didn't like it either, it doesn't have the tinglies either. So I try to stay away from Noxema.

I love the Nivea body oils and lotions.:cool:

I swear by Aveda face products. They are natural and don't test on animals...and, the ONLY thing that helps my skin after a crohn's attack. (My skin misses out on nutrient and moisture during an attack, so it gets flakey, yet, oily. Super fun!! ;) )

What workes for me is their tourmaline line. Its a mineral that is finely ground and added to a few of their products...that stuff is amazing! I haven't broken out since I've used it, my skin tone is even and I don't have flaky skin anymore. I swear its a miracle product! :)

I use noxema..I think. I only use it sometimes. I have pretty good skin

I agree with you there. After I go swimming and my shoulders get a little bunt I usually put some Noxema on them and it feels much better afterwards.

Tonya that is the one I am using, however since using it i keep breaking out in pimples on my nose, it is one of my prone areas being the oily area of my skin, the rest is pretty dry, maybe its just getting all the toxins out or something, any suggestions, I might stop using in that area and see what happens.

A tip for the guys...

Before you shave put some Noxema on your face THEN put on your shaving cream.

It really cuts down on nicks and cuts....the razor gets clogged faster, but it's worth it.

I LOVE noxzema!! I've always used it, I also love the fresh clean feeling it gives me when I wash it off.:) I also used St. Ives apricot scrub years ago and it made my face feel soooo soft. I have to pick that up again.

I wonder if that works for legs too.....

I love noxema stuff...probably because my friend's mom works for proctor and gamble and use to give us free stuff ALL the time.

I never really wash my face with specific face washes on a regular basis. I still use noxema when I get a lot of sun..seems to help me out.

I actually break out more when I use face cleansers...I've been blessed with a pretty clear face except for the occasional chin breakouts from when my catchers mask in softball would sit against it all day with me sweating..

I've also been told that Cetaphil is really good too and some neutrogena stuff too

I've been using the clearasil cream for awhile.Sometimes it works,sometimes it doesnt and it can dry out my face so im thinking of trying something new.
