When I went camping for three weeks at Walker River near the border of California and Nevada, my fair, pale skin turned into a blistering lobster red crusting over my face, shoulders and back despite the use of sunblock. I found relief with Noxzema's original formula. In a week my blisters were gone and the damaged skin had been gently removed with each aplication. The first few days I applied Noxzema liberally, allowing the cream to cool my skin every time it felt hot or painful. By the end of the week I was using it once in the morning and once at night. I continued the regime till all redness was gone. To this day I still treat my sunburns with Noxzema's original formula. Please note I am in no way a doctor or trained medic and you should always consult your doctor ar advice nurse on such matters. I hope my information was useful and thanks for reading :)
