Pros:

Gentle
Non-irritating
Moisturizing

I love this facial wash. It is really gentle, moisturizing, and one of the only products that has not irritated or dried out my skin. I use it at night with a pretty strong topical medication.

Pros:

+Gentle
+Simple Cleanser

Cons:

-Contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate
-Can leave skin a bit dry.

I've used this cleanser for a little bit. It's very gentle for my sensitive skin. It hasn't, however, cleared my acne or made a significant improvement.

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:

Pupose Bar soap smells very nice. I used it on my back to help clear up acne and it worked really well.

Cons:

READ THE BOTTOM LINE-

Im not sure what went wrong, but when i washed my face with the Purpose Bar soap I had a reaction. My entire face turned red, and burned terribly, enough to make me cry. My face peeled and became extremly irratated. The acne on my face started to bleed and eventually scarred. Its been about a week now, and it hasnt gotten any better. My face is too dry to wash with anything else because of Purpose so now im breaking out even more. I dont know what went wrong. I know that my skin is ALOT more SENSITIVE than most peoples, but this time I was confident it would work ): ):
