Noxzema

Noxzema was created in 1914 by Baltimore pharmacist Dr. George Bunting as a remedy for sunburn and eczema. The brand has passed through Procter & Gamble and Alberto-Culver before landing with Unilever, and remains one of the longest-continuously-sold skincare products in the United States.

Noxzema Classic Clean Original Deep Cleansing Cream in signature blue jar with white screw-top lid

Nostalgic Drugstore Classic

Noxzema cleanser

Classic Clean Original Deep Cleansing Cream

A nostalgic, ultra-affordable cold cream cleanser that gets the basic job done for oily and normal skin types, but its dated formulation — loaded with fragrance, eucalyptus oil, and DMDM Hydantoin — makes it a hard recommendation in an era of gentler, more effective alternatives.

Moisturizing Drugstore Classic

Noxzema cleanser

Clean Moisture Deep Cleansing Cream

A slightly gentler spin on the Noxzema classic that adds glycerin for moisture but still packs camphor, menthol, fragrance, parabens, and a formaldehyde-releasing preservative — making it a nostalgia purchase for tolerant skin types rather than a modern skincare recommendation.

normalcombination Not Cruelty Free

Ultimate Clear Anti-Blemish Pads

A no-frills, maximum-strength salicylic acid pad that will satisfy oily-skinned teenagers who want to feel their acne treatment working, but the 60%+ alcohol base and parade of fragrance allergens make this a blunt instrument in an era of smarter, gentler acne solutions.
