I bought this thinking it was the same thing as the cleansing bar. Not even close! It made me break out in this eczema type of rash on the sides of my face and it made me so itchy! I'm probably allergic.

Pros

  • Smells nice
  • Gets rid of oil and makeup

Cons

  • Dried my face out sooo bad
  • Made my skin itchy and red
  • moderate
  • for about a week
  • $ 8
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.

This is a great face wash to use while you're on an acne medication. Chances are, it won't react with any of the ingredients in your acne medication, and it won't dry out your skin.

Pros

  • Gentle
  • Not overly drying
  • Works well with acne medication
  • Affordable

Cons

  • None, really
  • moderately severe
  • for about a year
  • $ 6.5
  • I recommend using this treatment.

  • Smells nice
  • Won't make you break out
  • Leaves face nice and clean
  • Doesn't dry skin out

Cons

  • None
  • moderately severe
  • for about a week
  • $ 5
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I originally bought this product for a few reasons:

fragrance free

non-comedogenic/won't clog pores

soap free

I have to say that this is something that i look for in almost every skin care product. Purpose cleanser does hold its end of the bargain with those claims but i wasn't exactly that impressed by the face wash. It cleaned my skin and made it feel soft but i really didnt see any difference in clarity. For that reason i switched to something else, but i think it's a great product and is worth trying if you want something gentle and non-irritating.

Pros

  • inexpensive
  • non-comedogenic/fragrance free

Cons

  • water leaks in if left in shower
  • severe
  • for about a month
  • $ 7.99
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I tried this for about a week and didn't like it at all, but I think it was because I was using benzoyl and this, which dried out my skin like crazy. I have stopped using benzoyl and all medications since I am on a natural regime now. (Got tired of chemicals messing up the face and not working). I started using purpose again and it has been working great the second time around. I use two pumps and rub them into a lather before I apply it on my face. I also use salt water to wash my face at least 3 days out of the week. This has helped considerable along with the other natural products I've been using.

Pros

  • Cleans thoroughly
  • Doesn't clog pores
  • Leaves skin smooth
  • Gentle/unabrasive on skin

Cons

  • May be drying
  • moderate
  • for about a month
  • $ 5.49
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I have been purchasing and purchasing soooo many acne face wash, toners and moisterizers! After almost 2 months of spending money with no results I decided to see what this Purpose was about. So glad I did! I think the key with clearing acne is to give your face a break and use sensitive and gentle products that are allergy free, soap free and oil free. Your skin needs to breath and relax from all the strong medincine. I use Purpose and Clinique's moisture intense hydrating moisterizer. I've been using this for not even 1 week and my skin looks sooooo much better. So far so good. I want to relay the message that so far Purpose has given me the best results. Key words "Gentle, Sensitive, Oil free, allergy teste, Hypoallergenic, Soap free".

Pros

  • Non-stinging
  • Gentle
  • Residue-free
  • Cleans skin
  • Pulls out bulled up acne
  • Clears up cystic acne

Cons

  • May develops small heat rash type bumps in your oilest areas but will clear up
  • light
  • for about a week
  • $ 6
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I recently switched to this after using Cetaphil for several months. I prefer Purpose because it's definitely non-comedogenic, (Cetaphil is pretty rich and not-oil free and I'm pretty convinced that it does actually clog my huge pores.) This will be the only cleanser I'll use from now on.

Pros

  • You can be sure that it won't clog pores or aggravate acne
  • Fragrance and die free
  • Non irritating
  • Easily removes dirt, oil, and makeup
  • Inexpensive

Cons

  • May be too drying for extremely sensitive skin
  • Can be a bit hard to rinse off
  • moderate
  • for about a week
  • $ 10
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I absolutely love this cleanser! It reminds me exactly of the acne.org cleanser, but just more of a cheaper alternative and can be purchased at the drugstore. I've been using this for about two months now (ever since i ran out of my acne.org cleanser) and it works wonders! my face always feels fresh and clean after using this. I highly reccomend this product if you cannot, for any reason, order Dan's cleanser online. It is just as effective!

Pros

  • Gentle
  • Cleanses well
  • Removes makeup well
  • Non drying
  • Non irritating
  • Not much of a fragrance
  • Effective

Cons

  • Can leak through the pump so it might not be safe for travel
  • for a few months
  • $ 5
  • I recommend using this treatment.
