Does this cream come "as a block of beeswax" or "like a jar of rich cream"? i bought one that is hard as a block of cement.

I have used this product since I was 18, 53 years ago. It is and always has been a cream. Once you swipe your finger across the surface the creamy texture is more apparent. It is not thin cream, because there is little water or alcohol in it. It is not cement.

Do you still need to use one of mere normans cleansers with the cleansing creams? Or can you skip to your toners after?

I can tell you what I do which may not be the typical routine. I cleanse at night, then apply either OleHenriksen serum, Glow Cycle Retin-AltPower Serum followed by Ole Henriksen C-Rush Brightening Gel Creme. I have found the Henriksen product to be very effective on dark spots. It seems to even out skin tone. My other application is L'Oreal Revitalift serum followed by Cream REvitalift. This is also effective on evening skin tone. I use toner then in the morning.

Is this the original fragrance?

Hey there.. yes it sure is. This is exactly what I got from Merle Norman in California. He works great !! I have used Merle Norman for over 40 years and I always get complements on my skin.

47 y/o. Skin feels slimy even after removal. Are you supposed to use this moisturizer as well?

I have found that to be true as well...it sits on top of the skin. However, I use mine at night and remove what I can which takes the make-up off, then leave the residue until morning. It does help to soften the skin, perhaps hydrating a bit. I then remove it with toner before beginning the new application of make-up for the day ahead.

Great for menopause dryness

I love this cream. It takes off all my make up but my mascara. I use ponds cold cream for that. The scent is awesome. My aunt has been using it for 50 years and her skin is amazing for an 83 year old. I'm hoping to follow in her footsteps. This is great for dry skin. I wouldn't use it on oily skin. The scent is relaxing.
