I love the smell of Ponds too, but find it heavy as a facial moisturizer. I like Olay for that. It smells nice too. I use coconut oil to remove makeup.
How are you all using the noxemzema? As a cleanser or a moisturizer or both?

My wife uses it to remove her makeup before she goes to bed.
Noxzema shaving cream was the first product I worked with in the product development lab at Noxell. We were developing other fragrance products in the same line such as Lime and Wild Forest. All of the cans had to be individually pressurized (I hated that part) and then put into three different ovens to test how the fragrances would react to heat and the can linings over time. Some of them really stank, but Noxzema always held up well. We were allowed to take home any lab samples that were left over from testing, so my Dad had a closet full of shaving cream - enough to last for the rest of his life. I was really glad when I moved on to creams and lotions!
Bungalove, your posts in this thread have been so fascinating! What an interesting career you have had! I really appreciate you for sharing your experiences.

As such yes, if you went to the beach or pool someone had a jar of Noxzema which your mom or some other well meaning woman or girl slathered you down with to treat sunburn.
Guys weren't left out; Noxzema had shaving cream as well.
I don't know when they introduced their shaving cream but my Dad told me when he was overseas during WW II they used to shave using Noxzema skin cream by itself.

Makes sense, it's a great skin lubricant which is 90% of what shaving cream does anyway. I use hand soap in a pinch all the time.
My grandmothers, mom, aunts, and cousins all use Noxzema with beautiful results. They always believed that "Noxzema draws up the impurities in your skin and then keeps your skin beautiful once it's detoxed." It irritated and caused breakouts for me, so I'd always discontinue use (I didn't have that kind of patience lol)
My skin loves Cetaphil cleansing lotion. It has never given me any problems.
As for Noxzema, I always have a small sample size handy. It reminds me of happiness
My skin didn't like Noxzema either. My mom always used Ponds but by face didn't like that either. I use Neutrogena for sensitive skin or Clarins.
