Pros:

this is a great product. its very gentle and easily removes dirt and oil. great for anyone who wants a soap that isnt too harsh on their face.

Cons:

the packaging is horrible!!! i suggest that you buy a new pump bottle when you buy it because water gets in easily and the soap leaks out.

great! buy it! but buy a new bottle as well!

Pros:

It's very gentle. It doesn't irritate, or dry out sensitive skin. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. It takes off make-up completely even mascara.

Cons:

Its packaging is small.

I absolutely love this product! I was completely fed up with my skin and desperate for a solution. When I read the reviews for Purpose I thought that I might as well give it a try. It has drastically improved my skin! I can say without a doubt that this product has only been beneficial to my skin. It will forever be a staple in my skin care routine. I definitely recommend it to anyone who urgently needs a solution to their skin problems, especially those who have very sensitive skin.

Pros:

It takes off makeup fairly well. It also is good cleanser for removing facial dirt and grime thoroughly.

Cons:

Its noticeable scent (a product for sensitive skin should have no added fragrance to it at all) and it used to cause the area around my nose to become flaky or red sometimes.

This was a product that I used to swear by, however I no longer use it. As, I don't feel that it is best for me to use any product that has added fragrane in it on my face again and neither do I recommend that to others.

Pros:

Gentle on skin, leaves skin soft and supple, inexpensive, no irritating or annoying scent, good for combination skin

Cons:

Johnson&Johnson, please change the packaging to help me avoid messing up the integrity of the product!

Definately recommended. I tried Neutrogena, Clinique, Aveeno, Clearasil, Clean&Clear. But it seems like everything I used just made my skin break out even more. I had the last straw when I tried SeaBreeze Naturals. My skin was dry, flaky, and irritated!!! I had to buy Eucerin Aquaphor Healing Ointment to put on my skin just to get it back to normal state. Plus I was still oily and breaking out. I bought Purpose because of so many recommendations and reviews and I can honestly say that I am so much happier with the state of my skin. i don't have severe acne, but I do have a bump here or there. So I use Clearsil Spot Treatment to put on my face where I have occasional acne.

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. ;)
