Pros:

- Gentle
- Smells nice
- Can be purchased locally in the US
- Cheap in price
- Lathers beautifully

Cons:

- Fragrance added :( (prefer no additional ingredients)
- Water can seep in bottle (even says so on the back)
- Pump requires product to dispense before being able to lock it

Overall this is a great gentle cleanser that I have been using for about a year. I usually switch between this cleanser and Cetaphil, both which are great. I consider my skin oily and this cleanser isn't overdrying.

Pros:

Cleans well, uses very little product, no fragrance, no need to scrub

Cons:

Wish it was more travel friendly. I like the pump for at home..but I can't lock it without wasting it

I've turned on several people to this product..just a half pump and 10 seconds and I go from feeling greasy to clean..no odor, no washcloth Nothing else I've tried cleans this well without heavy agitation, yet doesn't dry me out. The price seems high at first, but it lasts a while and I can't argue with results

Pros:

It removes makeup remarkably well; very gentle; neutral smell; left my skin feeling clean and soft.

Cons:

The bottle is rather small; contains sulfates (as a surfactant) which may result in drying after excessive use.

I just started using this about a week ago but I really like how well it removes my makeup, and in just a few seconds. It will even remove eye makeup. My face feels great after I use it and it is not irritating in any way. The texture of my skin also looks great after I wash my face with this! It is a very neutral cleanser and doesn't smell strong. I love it so far!

Pros:

builds up a great lather, don't need to scrub hard to remove dirt. Smells like candy!

This is an awesome cleanser. Probably one of the best I'VE ever used. Its extremely gentle (if you lather in hands and smear around face for 10secs or less) and LADIES: THIS REMOVES MAKEUP LIKE A CHARM. It says on the container that its clinically as gentle as water and I totally believe that it is. It makes my skin feeling clean and fresh without dryness if you use it the way i mentioned. Definitely something to try.

Pros:

Rinses off really well without having to use washcloths or other skin irritants.

Cons:

Still leaves skin a little dry.

This is the best cleanser I've found, after searching for years! I have really weird dry/oily facial skin, and have been looking for facial cleansers that rinse off completely without having to rub them off with washcloths, which cause irritation and breakouts.

Pros:

Cleared up Moderate Acne
Cheap
Easy to Use
Rinses Easy
Doesn't Dry Out Skin

Cons:

Leaks when Traveling

Its the only Wash that has ever worked for my very sensitive dry skin. Its not too expensive and worked in just a couple weeks. Highly recommended.

Pros:

Washes off makeup and does the job it should for the acne.org regimen :)

Cons:

None, but will be going on a trip soon, so this isnt really travel friendly

Amazing! and cheap!

Pros:

been using for a few years-very gentle-non drying- removes makeup easily- not greasey- helps reduce oil- break outs have been rare since using this product

Cons:

have to put in another container when traveling- if not it will leak everywhere

ive used other products such as clean&clear, neutrogena, ect- i only had good results with them for a few weeks and then my face would begin to break out again -- purpose is the only product i have used and had good long term results- highly recommend trying this product

Pros:

Very sensitive and it cleared my lower back :D and smells very good and clean

Cons:

a bit drying, but nothing to worry about

I bought this product to use as a face wash, but i figured.. Why not use it when I shower, also ? And BANG, the acne on my lower back is 80% gone after only 3 washes :O I have struggled with this for many years, so it is a little worrying, that this cleanser was the only thing I needed .. :) But now I am glad :)
