Original Deep Cleansing Cream.

"Noxzema was originally formulated for people with eczema. It feels good going on eczema because it's got compounds in it that help soothe itch, but it's also kind of irritating. A lot of people swear by it, like it works really well for them, but it wouldn't be my go-to recommendation."

"Noxzema is a product that I don't really recommend. It's technically a cold cream, but it has some jazzy ingredients that make it an attractive option in a variety of settings. It was originally developed in 1914, so it's been around a while and it's still wildly popular. It was developed by a pharmacist, Francis Townsend, and it originally was marketed as no eczema, hence the name Noxzema, like knocks out eczema. People with eczema, atopic dermatitis, for example, found it very comforting, very soothing because it's a cold cream, so it feels cool going on the skin. And anything that is of a cool temperature can help distract itch of atopic dermatitis. But it also has menthol, it has camphor, and it has eucalyptus oil. This imparts a little bit of a tingling sensation, which is why some people feel as though it is doing something. The menthol, the eucalyptus oil, the camphor, they're soothing and they definitely are ingredients that will help to lessen the symptoms of itch. As a matter of fact, many popular anti-itch lotions, for example, Sarna contain menthol to help alleviate itch. However, camphor, menthol, and eucalyptus oil, they can cause"

"If you are somebody who has eczema and you're wondering about Noxzema, I would say I don't recommend it, even though it was initially developed for people with eczema. It has menthol so it can be actually pretty soothing to itch, but the ingredients are super irritating overall, like camphor. A lot of people love this and use it and it works out well for them, so I'm not telling you that you should stop using it, but if you have eczema, I don't recommend it."
