Pros:

Helped Control Acne

Cons:

Can be drying

My acne improved greatly when I first started the regimen, but wasn't where I wanted it to be; then I read a review on here recommending this soap. Well now it's the only cleanser I use. My skin is the clearest it has been in years. Yea it's a little drying, most are; but I just adjust my lotion and it evens out. For clear skin it's worth it!

Pros:

gentle, feels very clean after using it, doesn't interrupt with any other skin care or acne medication, cheap, last for a long time, gentle smell.

Cons:

none!

I've used it for about 5 yrs ever since i started using products for acne. even though a lot of acne kits come with soap or cleansers, this one is the best. use it and you won't regret it.

Removes makeup.
Nice scent.
Cheap!

Cons:

Bar can be messy, but I keep it in a travel case.

Too bad I've been spending so much money on products that don't work when I could have been using this all along. My skin has never felt cleaner. And the price is wonderful! I highly recommend giving Purpose a try.

Pros:

not drying
lasts a long time
goes with me everywhere

Cons:

none

I have been using this product since 1992. My dermatologist recommended this along with DML lotion twice a day, now Carols Daughter. My face has done great in transitioning to her face product, which my dermatologist approved of due to the ingredients in it. I am 51 years old and my skin is amazing, NO one ever guessed my age correctly......I am sure most of it is genetics. But the product has never dried my skin out as you know in Houston, the humidity is a "killer" but great for skin. I have never used any other product on my face and I never will. It's worth every penny and it lathers great. Why spend money on expensive cleansers when this is all you need. At least for me it is.

Pros:

Really Cheap
Lasts for ever!
Odorless, very gentle.
Not overdrying
Does not clog pores and cause acne!
easy to purchase

Cons:

NONE! This product is great for sensitive skin and acne pron skin.

I love this product! I have been using this soap for about 2 years now. I used to use the liquid version of it but i didn't like that one too much because that one would make my skin feel kinda weird and oily after washing it off. However, after using this product, my face feels really clean. This soap doesn't cause acne, dryness, or irriation! Highly recommended!

Pros:

Light and gentle
Gets face really clean
Washes away all makeup
Doesn't leave residue

Cons:

Bar soap is always sort of messy

I use this soap morning and night and occasionally after work. It is the only face wash I have used that makes my face feel really clean. It washes all my makeup off leaving no residue. I always try to stay away from soaps with a lot of ingredients and this is the only basic soap I have found that lathers/cleans well enough. I also use epsom salt to scrub my face. I have always mixed it in with my face washes to make a scrub but when I tried mixing it in with this soap it had a weird reaction and sort of clumped together so now I just make sure I rinse this soap off thoroughly before scrubbing with epsom salt but i've actually had better results scrubbing the epsom salt on with water instead of mixing with soap so it's not a problem at all. Great and simple product.

My ex-wife has used Purpose Soap & Lotion for over 20 years. She is now 54 years old and does not have any wrinkles. Not only does Purpose help clear up Acne etc.. it also does very well keeping your skin and face clean and wrinkle free..Awesome product!

Pros:

cheap, lasts long, really cleans your face

Cons:

none

I have oily skin and moderate acne. My dermatologist put me on purpose soap about 2 months ago and i love it. My face feels squeaky clean after every wash, my skin isn't as oily, and my acne is cleared up for the most part. I still get a pimp every so often. That's to be expected though. I will definately continue to use this product!
