Pros:

really gentle, but definitely deep cleans. Doesn't contain a ton of harsh ingredients

Cons:

None

I was looking for a gentle cleanser for my dry, sensitive skin that was still effective enough to remove makeup. This cleanser is great, it even removes eye makeup (and ladies know how difficult that can be!). I just pump one squirt into wet hands, lather for 5 seconds, and then cleanse. It leaves my face feeling clean, yet not stripped. I follow up with witch hazel toner, and the cotton ball never shows left-behind makeup...proof positive of Purpose's excellent cleansing power. I've been using for a few weeks, and already my skin is more calm and I'm breaking out significantly less.

Pros:

clears most acne, smellsss niceee, doesn't dry your skin, cheap, and its fun to lather with xD

Cons:

Well, it worked for a month for me, and then it stopped working.

I really like the Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash. I wouldn't recommend it for REALLY BAD acne, more mild to medium. It should be for more quick fixes, as it makes pimples vanish quickly, but stops working after a while. Still, a very good cleanser; probably one of the best on the market. ;)

Pros:

This does not overstrip my face or leave it with that "tight" feeling when rinsed off. Takes off almost all of my makeup.

I have very dry/sensitive skin with mild rosacea. Most cleansers are either way too gentle and don't do anything (Cetaphil) or just kill my face. I like the way this smells, feels, and it preps my face well for lotions, etc.

Pros:

It doesn't irritate sensitive skin, it cleans very well without drying out skin, it doesn't cost very much, it's easy to dispense and it's not gooey or sticky, it takes off makeup really well, and it has a pleasant smell.

Cons:

It doesn't clear up acne when used alone.

It works very well when used with Dan's regimen, because it doesn't dry out your skin, but it still cleans your skin well and is very, very gentle so it's great for sensitive skin.

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!

Has been a great product for me and my sensitive skin.

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:

Everything

Cons:

None

Its cheap (I buy from Amazon). Its everything I needed in a wash. I was using a horrible treatment that I didn't realize was making my skin worse! This cleared me right up (with the benzoyl I purchased from this site and an Olay moisterizer w/ a drop of Jojoba oil) in a month or so. I am 25 y.o. and suffered from acne since high school. I'm serious as a heart attack when I tell you, TRY THIS!
