I have been using Purpose for 3 weeks now and love it. I use Benzaclin on my face and Purpose doens't irritate my skin at all. It also works very well to remove my makeup at night. Would highly recommend for anyone.

Pros:

Gentle
Non-drying
It foams!
Leaves me feeling clean and fresh

Cons:

None yet!

I took a trip to the store after a day of researching on this site... I went to Trader Joes & bought Jojoba Oil ($4.99), & ACV ($4.99) then Walgreens for the Purpose ($7.99) I started using Cetaphil and had so far gotten the best results with it.. until I decidied to give this one a shot. It's gentle, lathers up nicely, and it doesnt burn or irritate my skin at all. I feel refreshed and clean. I use it morning & night. I follow it with a toner consisting of 1 Part ACV/1 Part Witch Hazel/3 Parts water, and top it off with Jojoba oil (alone in the PM). I was so surprised to find that mixing a few drops of Jojoba oil in with my Olay Regenerist Serum makes a perfect mixture! I apply this before my foundation in the AM. I hardly do any touch ups or blotting all day, and I have a healthy glow again.

Pros:

Removes all oil and even the toughest makeup, makes skin soft, doesn't dry skin, and is just an AMAZING face wash and the best I've ever tried.

Cons:

None except The bottle spills when its on its side, so I either have to be really careful or have to put it in a different bottle...and that's really annoying. But NO cons about how GREAT this works :)

After reading reviews on this product a year ago, I decided to use this as a part of my regimen. Never have I once doubted this product to remove all of oil and makeup on my face. My face becomes so smooth and works great when I use a moisturizer afterwards. Give this a try, you WONT be disapointed :)

Pros:

- gentle
- cleans face well (doesn't completely take off eye makeup)
- smells good
- comes in a pump bottle
- doesn't overdry face

Cons:

- not anything really except maybe for the packaging. Water can get in the bottle if left in the shower

I really like this cleanser. It's really gentle and gets your face clean. Doesn't burn or sting your face at all. A really simple, basic cleanser. Very good :)

Pros:

Very gentle, wonderful clean scent, inexpensive, light texture, washes off completely, and takes off make up easily.

Cons:

None!!

I've never found a better facial cleanser--and I've tried just about everything from really expensive department store brands to cheap drugstore washes. This is one of those...but the results are worth a million! The lightness and fragrance remind me of having my face cleansed at high-end spas. This wash is GENTLE! I've been using it for a month or so and my skin hasn't looked this great since I was in my 20s (I'm 50 now). My skin tone is almost perfect now--all I wear most of the time is sunscreen and I'm good to go.

Pros:

AWESOME

Cons:

Works very well, very gentle

I have tried many cleansers for my moderate to severe acne face, until now I thought I needed a really powerful cleanser to clean my oily face. Now I know better, I was skeptical of this product being too gental but I have been using for 2mo now and am very very happy with it. Highly recommend to anyone!

Pros:

This is the best cleanser ever. It does what it says, very gentle, especially to sensitive skin. I tried other cleansers that claim to clear breakouts and redness but they only make it worse. I will always use this. It gets rid of the oil without overcleansing. My face has never looked this good. Thank You Johnson & Johnson for coming up this product.

Cons:

ABSOLUTELY NONE!!!!!

You have to try this product.. believe me when I say.. you will NEVER use a different cleanser again after you try this.

Pros:

gentle, not drying, smells clean, inexpensive, works GREAT!!!

Cons:

As many said...the bottle sucks, water gets in it, when I travel it leaks....SOLUTION: by a bottle to put the cleanser in. =)

I love PURPOSE my whole family uses it. It is great for my sensitive skin, when I was using it with other products it still worked great....but I only now use it by itself. Give it a try, see if you like it. Most people do =)

Pros:

*Very gentle
*non drying
*can be used the Rx meds

Cons:

*decent at removing makup
*not medicated, so would try using another wash post-workout.

Well, i think think this is a tried and true face wash, i have used with all my rx meds and has never once irritated my skin. I have even been using it the past few months with my clarison and that gets the makeup out better, since the wash on its own isn't so good.
