I'm speaking specifically about the Noxema Cleanser with citrus beads in it. I wanted a product that would help cleanse and shrink my large facial pores. I found the Noxema cleaser, which does both for me PLUS the citrus wakes me up in the morning and it doesn't break the bank. After using it once daily in the winter, I have noticed my skin is a little on the dry side but I have not had any problems in the summer! I love this stuff!!
