Pros:Started using it nearly 10 years ago and will not use anything else. It is so gentle, yet really cleans. It doesn't dry me out, though I always follow with their moisturizer. My skin is sensitive to break outs, but this is light AND has SPF!
Cons:The bottle leaks everywhere when you travel, no matter what you do!
Bottom Line:Has been a great product for me and my sensitive skin.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:Rinses off really well without having to use washcloths or other skin irritants.
Cons:Still leaves skin a little dry.
Bottom Line:This is the best cleanser I've found, after searching for years! I have really weird dry/oily facial skin, and have been looking for facial cleansers that rinse off completely without having to rub them off with washcloths, which cause irritation and breakouts.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:umm...i dunno, i guess it cleans well
Cons:leaves my skin dry, and oily very soon after washing...
Bottom Line:I say no to purpose...this is supposedly a good cleanser..it might be for certain people, but extra sensitive skin is definitely not made to be used for...i washed and my skin was oily within 20 minutes after use...usually it takes an hour or two for me to regrease up...so this product SUCKS
Recommended:No
Usage:chaseypoo has used this item for about a week.

Pros:i've tried everything and purpose is the best $5 one can spend if battling acne. yes, i still get the 1/2 occasional pimples, but i used to have severe acne, so that's nothing :).
Cons:your skin can feel a little dry afterwards, but if you use a good moisturizer (like you're suppose to), it's fine.
Bottom Line:buy it and try it!
Recommended:Yes
