I get this when I forget to reorder the Acne.org face wash
This is just a basic wash for sensitive skin. No sent, color, fancy stuff, Its not expensive, and its easy to find. It foams up nice. However, i gave it four stars because its not great at removing makeup. You will have to lather up twice if you have anything like makeup on.

I've used this for years and agree with the no scent benefit. They have changed the formula and now there is a strong fragrance which I'm super disappointed with.

Pros:

Love this product. Not overdrying, but skin feels very clean.

Cons:

Go through fast and I travel, so I wish they would package that you could turn the pump so it doesn't leak.

Overall, love product itself.

Pros:

Cleans thoroughly
Doesn't clog pores
Leaves skin smooth
Gentle/unabrasive on skin

Cons:

May be drying

I tried this for about a week and didn't like it at all, but I think it was because I was using benzoyl and this, which dried out my skin like crazy. I have stopped using benzoyl and all medications since I am on a natural regime now. (Got tired of chemicals messing up the face and not working). I started using purpose again and it has been working great the second time around. I use two pumps and rub them into a lather before I apply it on my face. I also use salt water to wash my face at least 3 days out of the week. This has helped considerable along with the other natural products I've been using.

Pros:

Soap free and doesn't clog pores. Works well and feels great on skin. Doesn't leave a residue either. Doesn't smell like anything, which I prefer over strange 'no scent' products.

Cons:

When the bottle is in my shower it slowly gets watered down by the time I reach the end. There must be a leak in the pump somewhere. A bit pricey for 6oz.

I have strayed from this product many times, lured by high hopes for something new. In the end, I always return to this product. It cleans my skin the way I like and doesn't make m acne worse.

Pros:

its great! I love Purpose face wash and moisturizer. It leaves a clean feeling and its very light.

Cons:

Its a great face wash that removes makeup and leaves you with a clean, fresh feeling. Follow up with the Purpose moisturizer too!
