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 :)

Pros:

non-comedogenic, oil free, soap free

Cons:

none that I've noticed

This soap takes off makeup very well, even the tough black eyeliners. I don'te even need to use makeup removers with this soap. It also leaves me with a feeling of a fresh face.

Pros:

NO OBNOXIOUS ODOR, LEAVES SKIN FRESH FEELING, DOESN'T DRY ME OUT

Cons:

NONE

I HAVE USING THIS PRODUCT FOR AWHILE NOW AND I REALLY LOVE IT ALOT. IT SAYS ITS AS GENTLE AS WATER. I BELEIVE IT. TAKES OFF MY EYE MAKEUP VERY EASILY. VERY INEXPENSIVE. I USE ONLY THIS IN THE MORNING AND I MOISTERIZE. THEN FOR MY NIGHT TIME ROUTINE I WASH WITH THIS CLEANSER TO GET OOF ALL OF THE MAKEUP. THEN I WASH WITH A 4% BENZOYL PEROXIDE WASH, THEN CLINDAMYCIN GEL THEN MOISTURIZE WITH MI FINE SKIN. AND I ALSO TAKE 100 MG OF DOXYCYCLINE. I COULDN'T DO MY NIGHT TIME REGIME IN THE MORNING. I WOULD BE VERY IRRITATED. BUT PURPOSE IS A GREAT PRODUCT. ITS INEXPENSIVE AND LEAVES A CLEAN FRESH FEELING FACE.

Pros:

Doesnt leave a residue, leaves skin clean and soft. Removes makeup. Gentle foaming cleanser.

Cons:

I personally dont care for the "baby" smell. Could be worse I suppose.

I like this cleanser. Much more reasonably priced than others Ive used.I would recommend it for someone with acne accompanied with a treatment product with more active ingredients (salicylic acid/ benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid..) Always moisturize even if you have oily skin. Also nice for drier skin types.

Pros:

umm...i dunno, i guess it cleans well

Cons:

leaves my skin dry, and oily very soon after washing...

I say no to purpose...this is supposedly a good cleanser..it might be for certain people, but extra sensitive skin is definitely not made to be used for...i washed and my skin was oily within 20 minutes after use...usually it takes an hour or two for me to regrease up...so this product SUCKS

Pros:

works well to keep my zits away

Cons:

doesn't help to get rid of zits

I tried this a few years ago when I had bad acne and it did nothing. I recently used zen med to clear up my skin and now use this cleanser and it is working to keep things clear

Pros:

gentle, no smelly frafgrance, perfect!

Cons:

None so far

Well....I've been waiting around till I actually put my review on becaus ei wanted to try this cleanser for at least a week and now it's been almost 2 so I can give my review. This cleanser is the best...I would really reccommend it- despite the fact that some people say it dried their skin it did/t dry mines especially since i tend to have really oily skin so i did notice my skin wa sless oily. As for the breakouts.....I can happily say that I haven't had any new blemishes/breakouts since i started using the product which is just amazing for me considering i always get like 1 or 2 per week. I've been using this cleanser with the proactive lotion (I had run out of the proactive cleanser and decided to try purpose) but when I run out of the proactive lotion I'll have to find a replacement. maybe even Dan's own bp gel/cream who knows. But this cleanser is just like a magic potion 4 my face.....i get smooth skin with a fresh and clean feeling and no new blemishes since I started Purpose!
