Pros:

Cheap and easy to find.

Cons:

none

I have used a lot of facial cleansers. Even though I do not have bad acne, I like to have smooth skin and this is the best cleanser by far. I am getting married next month and when my face started breaking out I ordered Dan's BP and mosturizer (after a lot of internet research, which is wonderful) I just added purpose to the regime. My skin looks absolutely great. Also, Queen Helene Mint Julep mask twice a week works great! Good luck to everyone!

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:

I love this face wash. Not only does it take off all the makeup I wear but it makes me skin feel very clean and healthy. This product is not harsh on my skin at all and works better than any other cleanser I've ever used. Smells good too!

Cons:

Kind of small for the price, lasts almost a whole month with two washings a day.

Awesome product. Best cleanser I've ever used and I would recommend it to anyone.

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:

Gets rid of pimples and blemishes, easy on skin, won't irritate, won't clog pores, smoother texture

Cons:

None

I bought this after using so many different products. I am talking all kinds of acid washes and stuff. I have oily skin, and its thick. I thought this stuff would not help my skin. I was shocked at how well it has helped in the past 2 weeks. My skin has only two pimples on it. I used to get 4 or 5 weekly. I love this product and won't buy anything else. I went to plastic surgeons to see about getting scars fixed and all agreed that I should get off harsh acids and chemicals before they would work on scars, and all said generally the less harsh a cleanser is the better. 3 of the 4 I went to, mentioned using this. I am not saying this fixed my scars, but it helped my breakouts and pores for sure. Don't waste your time with other crap out there, GO GET THIS!!!!!

Pros:

Does not dry out my skin. Great for sensitive and acne prone skin. Rinses completely. Takes off makeup, except for some eyeliner. Leaves my skin feeling very clean.

Cons:

Wish would lather a little bit more.

Wonderful cleanser. I hope they don't stop making it! My acne - at age 40 - is finally under control paired with Neutrogena healthy skin lotion used after washing. Try this cleanser especially if you have dry or sensitive skin with your acne. My teenagers have started with bad acne and are using prescription topicals which dry out their skin. I'm going to have them start using this cleanser as part of their routine.

Pros:

The best product out there! It clears my skin and keeps it soft. I can use it more than once a day and it doesn't dry out my skin.

Cons:

I wish the bottle was more travel friendly.

I would recommend Purpose to everyone-regardless of their skin type. Those who have taken my recommendation have had nothing but good to say about it and still use it.

Pros:

Give you a clean feeling
Very smooth and very gentle
THIS IS A SOAP FREE PRODUCT!

Cons:

None...:)

From my experience, this is a most amazing fash wash I have ever tried. I found out about this product when I was using the regimen by Dan. I had to find some fash wash that is gentle enough for my skin. So I was looking at the recommended product page, and the product reviews and found the product out! Well, anyways... that is not important! The most important thing is that this little fash wash really works great on me! It still does... :)
