Does anyone remember a face cleanser named Listerex? It was popular about fifteen years ago and then just disappeared. I'd love to know if it is still being made and if so where I can purchase it? Thank you.

I believe this prduct had hexachlophene in it which the FDA pulled for safety concerns back then.
I believe you are thinking of a product in a green bottle called phisohex which was replaced by phosiderm, available by doctor's rx.
Listerex is completely different!
NO there was a listerex scrub, I used it for years.
No, she is thinking of Listerex. Which was amazing!
I used it for years and would love to find it again! I believe that last time I used it was 1983.
YES I LOVED THA SCRUB....BOUGHT IT AT PIC-N-SAVE IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA. IT WAS A ORANGE COLOR SCRUB AND VERY FINE BUT MY FACE WAS SO EXFOLIATED AND CLEAR AND SHINNY. SMOOTH AND SOFT. RONI
Listerex, was amazing, it really worked, they could have used another ingredient if FDA had issues. But like everything else that works.
I LOVED Listerex. Try ACURE brightening facial scrub. Its the closest Ive come to it!
Geez, I like something and just like that its gone! Thank you for answering. Mary
Yes, but Phisoderm was like that too, and they came up with a replacement. They also renamed it, but the bottle says right on it "formerly Phisoderm" or something like that.
I think that was put out by the Listerine company. I too am looking for a replacement for it.
The St. Ives apricot scrub for problem skin is also great! I use that now. But I would love if they put Listerex back on the market.
I would LOVE to find Listerex again. I kept an empty bottle for many years, hoping to find it.
I think I found it ... or something just like it!! Check out Garnier SkinActive Clean+ Invigorating Face Scrub. They have several types, but the green one is so much like the green Listerex Scrub! My face feels like it did 20 years ago!!
years ago i called the company that made it to ask if they had a surplus stored anywhere and they said no. The closest thing I have found is clean n clear in the blue tube..not the one that says blackhead remover. I tried to mimic Listerex by following CNC up using gold Listerene as an astringent but it was harsh.
Yes, Listerex was awesome! It says something about a product that 20 years after it left the market, people still remember it and praise it.
I remember using Listerex. And it was the best thing for my face. I never had acne. My aunt used it and I tried it for the first time when I was babysitting. I always wondered why they stopped selling it. I looked for it for my son several years ago.
Here's some info on the Listerex (link below).
Maybe one of these other products can help do the same (I don't know) I'm sorry, I've not ever tried it, but it seems the Listerex scrub had salicylic acid in it - which many many products and scrubs today have that now.
