Pros:

+Gentle
+Simple Cleanser

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 ): ):

Pros:

I think its really gentle and it cleans. When I use it my face doesnt get irritated like with murad or proactive uqhh. It isnt really think and doesnt foam up which is qood its soap free. Iv gotten really good results from this product.

Cons:

The only thing I dont really like is the fragrance. I think it shouldnt have a a smell at all... but its tolerable. And its kiiinda pricey at 6 or 7 a bottle but its okay it lasts a long time for me.

i recommend this to anyone with very mild acne to harsh acne. I myself have verrrrrry mild acne. I get verrry small bumps every once in a while. But using this product with bp Iv gotten rid of all my acne. And I have very dry skin and this doesnt aggrivate my acne nor my skin. DEF WORTH A TRY =].

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:

It's gentle and it works.

Cons:

Difficult to pack for traveling.

I have the worst combination of skin ailments possible: acne and eczema. How can you reduce washing to handle the eczema and increase washing to handle the acne at the same time?! And the cold weather only dries out my skin worse! Fortunately, this cleanser is soap free so I can use it twice a day without drying out my skin, and it cleans just as well as soap.
