I have been searching for a GENTLE cleanser that cleanses skin very well. Most gentle cleansers didn't clean my skin enough. I have super sensitive skin to top it off. I saw a review for this cleanser on youtube--I'm glad I took a chance with this product. It's so gentle, lathers nicely, leaves my skin feeling clean and so soft. And my skin wasn't irritated at all! If all you need is a cleanser, I say get this!

Pros

  • SIMPLE
  • GENTLE
  • SOFT FEELING
  • CLEANSES SKIN VERY WELL

Cons

  • NONE
  • very light
  • for a day or two
  • $ 8
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I only tried this cleanser while I was on Accutane. I didn't have super dry skin except around my nose, but this seemed to just dry me out too much. If you have normal or oily skin, it would probably be great. It is very gentle, has a clean smell, and my skin feels clean afterwards, just dry.

Pros

  • Cleans skin well
  • Smells clean
  • Gentle
  • Pump

Cons

  • A little drying
  • Foaming (if you don't like it)
  • light
  • for about a week
  • $ 6
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I LOVE this soap!!! I've been using it for a couple years, and it is one of the few face soaps that made me feel clean/didn't clog my pores (causing me to break-out).

This soap does NOT help to clear acne. It's just a gentle soap.

But it's AMAZING!

Pros

  • Cleans my makeup off
  • Face FEELS clean
  • Cheap
  • Hasn't made me break out

Cons

  • Nothing!
  • moderate
  • for more than a year
  • $ 7
  • I recommend using this treatment.

NEVER ON THE PRODUCT DOES IT SAY IT WILL TREAT, PREVENT, OR HEAL ACNE. It just says it will gently cleanse the skin.

That being said it is a very good cleanser. It cleans of makup and dirt, and prepares me for my 10% benzoyl peroxide acne spot treatment. After a month or so of using this, my acne spot treatment and moisterizer twice a day, my acne has gone from moderately severe to very light!! LOVE IT!

Pros

  • Gets my face SUPER clean
  • Lathers up easily
  • Good for sensitive, DRY skin

Cons

  • None
  • very light
  • for a few months
  • $ 6.5
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I took a trip to the store after a day of researching on this site... I went to Trader Joes & bought Jojoba Oil ($4.99), & ACV ($4.99) then Walgreens for the Purpose ($7.99)

I started using Cetaphil and had so far gotten the best results with it.. until I decidied to give this one a shot.

It's gentle, lathers up nicely, and it doesnt burn or irritate my skin at all. I feel refreshed and clean. I use it morning & night. I follow it with a toner consisting of 1 Part ACV/1 Part Witch Hazel/3 Parts water, and top it off with Jojoba oil (alone in the PM).

I was so surprised to find that mixing a few drops of Jojoba oil in with my Olay Regenerist Serum makes a perfect mixture! I apply this before my foundation in the AM. I hardly do any touch ups or blotting all day, and I have a healthy glow again.

Pros

  • Gentle
  • Non-drying
  • It foams!
  • Leaves me feeling clean and fresh

Cons

  • None yet!
  • moderate
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 7.99
  • I recommend using this treatment.

This product is okay as a supplement, but I don't think it's necessary to fight acne (I think water is sufficient in some cases).

Pros

  • Is Gentle

Cons

  • Face didn't feel cleansed

This is a great cleanser to use morning and night along with any other acne treatments. I've tried a lot of different face washes, and I always go back to this because it works so well. You can't leave it in the shower or else water will get in and dilute it. If you travel, you have to put it in a different bottle or else it will drip over everything in your suitcase.

Pros

  • Gentle, doesn't dry out your skin
  • Removes makeup
  • Cheap

Cons

  • The bottle is a poor design
  • moderate
  • for more than a year
  • $ 4.77
  • I recommend using this treatment.

Its an AMAZING product. I tried so many acne products and they were horrible so I decided to just use this product. At first didn't do much, but then started slowly clearing it up. I used to have moderate acne and now i have very light. So just try this product out, its affordable and it won't contribute to any acne. :)

P.S. About the packaging part, I do have a little water that went inside and now its even more gentle but just remember not to put too much inside or it won't do anything. :)

Pros

  • Gets rid of acne slowly but very gentle
  • Very affordable
  • Doesn't dry your face
  • Removes makeup
  • Very fast and easy because of pump

Cons

  • Doesn't help with oil levels
  • moderate
  • for a few months
  • $ 4.74
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I have repurchased Purpose Cleanser more than ten times over the years, and I really like it.

Simple, gentle cleanser that can be found everywhere that I shop and at a price that I can afford.

Pros

  • *Simple and basic face wash
  • *Affordable (found a HUGE generic version @ CVS that I'm gonna give a try)
  • *Foamy without over-drying
  • *Removes Everyday Minerals foundation (heavy or evening-out makeup requires a double cleanse)
  • *Can be used with soft facial brush for simple exfoliation a few times per week
  • *Never causes additional breakouts (I have plenty of other products that break me out, this face wash is never the culprit)

Cons

  • *Does not fully remove eye makeup
  • *Used alone, will not treat acne (but I prefer my cleansers plain so I can choose my treatment level)
  • *Does not travel well (squirt some in a travel bottle: problem solved)
  • *Cannot store in shower; water always finds its way into the bottle and dilutes the product
  • moderate
  • for more than a year
  • $ 6
  • I recommend using this treatment.
