When I was a teen, Phisohex was the soap of acne'd girls as well as Noxena cream

Are they still on the market ?

That green bottle with some chemical compound design on it, right? I don’t know if those are still around.

Phisohex

Taken off the market in 1971 and now available by prescription only. It was claimed that the active ingredient causes brain damage.

Noxema is still around. Most women use newer moisturizers though.

Noxzema — I still remember the day my aunt applied it to my sunburned shoulders when I was three, after staying out to long crabbing on the Chesapeake. It originated in Baltimore, so it was a big deal around Maryland 'way back when. You can still buy it at the drugstore chains. No more translucent blue glass container. Now it's solid plastic.

There used to be only natural ingredients like aloe, camphor, and eucalyptus. Haven't read a label lately. Their FAQ page says "Noxzema Original Deep Cleansing Cream contains gelatin derived from pork sources." So, don't share it with your muslim friends. /s
