Redditor LifeJob2386 shared the skincare tip in a viral post.

“My colleague gave me her Italian grandmother’s secret to great skin… Noxzema!” she said.

Though the product has a slight smell, she added that the trick is to use the cleansing cream combined with steam from the shower.

“She uses it in the shower to wash her face, which clears her skin.

“I tried it for a bit, [and] it did the same (I have oily, mixed skin, and am not sensitive).”

Target shoppers raved about the $5 cleansing cream that worked wonders for them.

“I have been using Noxzema since I was a teenager,” wrote one reviewer.

“Nothing gets my face as clean as Noxzema. It gets deep down in my pores, and I love the tingling sensation.

“It lets me know that it’s working. My face is so bright after using Noxzema.”

Another said the cleansing cream was tried-and-true and a “classic for a reason.”

“Love love love my Noxzema! It cleans all of the makeup off my face and leaves it very soft! I’ll never use anything else!” they said.

One said the cleansing cream was “life-changing.”

“A shower must have! My mom put me on this, and I have been using it ever since!” they said.

“The scent can be strong, and it does burn if you open your eyes, so make it a quick wash!

“Personally, my mom begged for this product when my dad was in the ICU for 11 days, she CAN NOT live without it!”

Others agreed that the cleanser has won the approval of generations and even more generations to come.

“I used to watch my Grandma use this product, but now my aunts and I all use it,” said one reviewer.

“Great at cleaning off dirt, oil, and makeup from the day. Love the clean smell. Keeps my skin clear and smooth. Love the entire product.”
