the not-so-new noxzema.

beauties, i wanted to catch you up on the face wash you voted for -- the new noxzema -- that i have been using for the past few weeks (readers favored a review of this over the new proactiv - by 62%). as it turns out there are a few new additions from noxzema, but the one i'm using isn't new! it's the original deep cleansing cream but now in a .

it's been years since i've tried noxzema (i believe the last time was sleep-away camp), so the product felt new to me -- and the things that bothered me about it as a teen - the ultra-creamy formula (i was afraid it would make me break out) and it's eucalyptus tingle (i recall it being a burn) are the two things i'm loving about it this winter. the combined effect seems to be making my dead-looking skin come to life.

the original formula, with it's updated packaging and dispenser, is retailing for under $5 at drugstores nationwide this spring. for more information on some of the updated formulas, including those for intensive acne control and adult acne - visit noxzema.com.
