Pros:

None anymore.

Cons:

NOT good for sensitive skin anymore.
Causes breakouts and burning since they added the ingredient oxybenzone.

My dermatologist recommended this product for me when I was about 15 years old. I'm 39 now. It's been the most perfect lotion for my extra sensitive skin for all those years, until now. For some reason, they decided to change the ingredients and add oxybenzone. Now if I use it, I get hundreds of small bumps all over my forehead and my whole face burns and turns red. I've been trying to find a new product to use for the last 6 months or so, but I can't find one as good as Purpose used to be. Absolutely devastated.

Pros:

Used product for 20 years! Great product for my sensitive, acne-prone skin! Controlled my acne for so many years.... BUT, read CONS....

Cons:

Can no longer use because of the new ingredient...think they changed sunscreen! Stings my skin, smells bad, and I breakout!

On the search for new moisturizer! I am disappointed.... No longer good for people w/acne and sensitive skin! Not good since I think we are the main customers for their Purpose product line.... Zero rating...

Cons:

not enough moisturizing (especially important if you use Benzoyl peroxide). Seems to leave a chalky colour on the face. Doesn't act like a good base for makeup.

This is actually quite a shame because i LOVE the purpose gentle cleanser its the best i've ever used. However this moisturizer is so gross. I have 3 different moisturizers at home and this is the worst. It doesn't spread well- it dries really fast and leaves a whitish hue. It barely does its job with moisturizing. In fact, when i put my makeup over it, it was so patchy and exaggerated the dry patches. I would never ever recommend this to people with dry-combo skin(from using BP), and to women who wear powdered makeup. Its honestly a waste of money, trust me.

Pros:

no pros

Cons:

This stuff caused a rash all around my eyes, made my eyelids and below my eyes swell and stings and itches like the dickens. I threw it in the trash and will inform my dermatologist who gave me these "free" (thanks for nothing) samples. Don't use it!

Do not use this at all unless you just get a kick out of flirting with misery! I have dark pink rashy circles all the way around my eyes! I have been miserable!

Pros:

none

Cons:

new sunscreen ingredient, greasy

I, like others, are very upset that J&J changed this formula. I cannot use it now, as the new sunscreen and formula make my face extremely greasy and caused little bumps to appear on around my frown lines, nose, and cheeks. After 2 hrs. of wearing this stuff, I literally wanted to take a washcloth and scrub my face at work. It felt so heavy, cakey, and sticky. After I started noticing the pimples, I quit using it.

Pros:

At this point I don't have any pros

Cons:

This lotion was working for me up until some time last year when I began to break out. I had no idea what was breaking me out until I read all of these reviews. I can't believe they would change an ingredient that so many people are allergic to. I have had itchy rashes on my face and very large itchy eczema patches on my neck for a while now. It's a horrible horrible lotion.

DON'T get this product. If you have sensitive skin like me and many on here it can harm you more than help u. My face was burning and itching and still is at the moment. I am about to call the company and file a complaint. Once again BUYER BEWARE of this lotion.

Pros:

-contains sunscreen
-didnt break me out

Cons:

- smells bad
- made my skin very oily

I bought this after haring it as good for sensetive skin. It was awful. My skin isnt usually oily, but this just sat on my skin and made it look slick and gross. It felt slimy to the touch.
