Pros:

Skin feels very clean.
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:

It's cheap. Removes leftover makeup.NOT Drying. Long Lasting. Lathers well.

Cons:

none

Fantastic! I just swipe my makeup off with a makeup wipe. And then remove any leftover with this cleanser. It is drying only if you use it for more than 10 seconds or less. Basically just use dan's cleansing method in his video. It is so super cheap and super long lasting compared to cetaphil. Cetaphil feels like your putting watered down lotion on your face. It also lathers super well! JUST REMEMBER DON"T LEAVE IT ON THE SKIN TOO LONG! btw it's a really good cleanser but a cleanser alone won't clear you acne. I used to have moderate acne but now i'm clear from 2.5% dan's bp. I don't use it twice a day but once a day and i use 1 pump. Dan's products are amazing but i really love this purpose cleanser.

Pros:

Cleans the skin thoroughly. Inflamatory acne incidence reduced.

Cons:

Only partially effective toward reducing black heads and white heads.

Great product at a low cost. The product dries the skin quite a bit, so make sure that you have proper moisturizer after words.

Pros:

gently cleanses skin without over drying. smells amazing! has very few ingredients. lathers very well. cheap~ i bought the 6 oz. bar for $3.99! i only use it once a day, in the morning and i can tell that this is going to last me for an eternity!

Cons:

none.

i would definetly recommend this to anyone who wants a gentle cleanser, sensitive skin or not. i think that it clears up acne because it is so gentle and just cleanses and soothes your skin instead of making it react with crazy chemicals.

Pros:

Best soap for SENSITIVE SKIN/ ACNE. Very Cheap. Works Great!

Cons:

None

I tried EVERYTHING for my ACNE. Paid top dollar for skin products/prescriptions.Used Dermalogica, Clinique, etc. This is the only thing that clears and maintains healthy skin. I suggest using the Purpose Moisturizer with it. They just came out with a Redness Reducing moisturizer. It's a little more expensive ($14) but is amazing.

Pros:

Works very well, and lathers great. All you need to do is wet your hands then rub the soap a little and you've got all the lather you need. It's also really affordable. The smell takes a while to get used to but it's great.

Cons:

NONE. A lot of people are complaining about dryness. I used to experience that as well. Then I realized I was using too much lather and leaving it on my face too long. Use less lather and wash it off your face quickly. The dryness will stop.

Use this soap. The reason I bought it was because it doesn't have a lot of chemicals like other cleansers. If a product's ingredient list is longer than a novel, then don't use it. I believe it's those chemicals that lead to bad skin. I use nothing else on my face but Purpose and my skin has never been better.

Pros:

Nice gentle cleanser that can be used multiple times per day without drying. Nice scent that smells clean...it also leaves your face residue free. 6oz bar lasts forever

Cons:

Constantly having to change sandwich baggies to store it in ...a little messy unless you gave some special huge soap bar container..

It's an excellent bar cleanser that won't make you break out and it does it's job. It cleans well without making you dry and it doesn't leave an odd film on your face. Gives a clean feeling...overall i'd recommend it to anyone.
