Pros:

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

Cons:

May be drying

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:

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

Cons:

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:

-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

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.

-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

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!
