Purpose : Gentle Cleansing Wash

I've been purpose facial cleanser religiously for 10 years and they recently changed the formula. It's awful! It smells so strong, and I find that it doesn't clean as well as the old one. My eye makeup use to come off effortlessly. Now it takes lathering multiple times to get me eye makeup off. I also noticed bumps appearing on my forehead. Which is odd because I haven't changed anything. I'll be in the market for a new cleanser. Sucks to part from my favorite cleanser but the really screwed it up :(

Okay I have small, flesh-colored bumps covering my forehead. They have been there for 2 years now. I have tried numerous products, everything! Neutrogena, Clean & Clear, Murad, and many other expensive Sephora brands and nothing worked. So i came to this website and went to the recommended products. I then found this product and saw many many very positive reviews, so i thought i'd give it a try. I have been using this, along with neutrogena on-the-spot and the Purpose brand moisturizer, for nearly 2 months now and I have seen no results. If you want to get your acne under control, do not use this product.

I only tried this cleanser while I was on Accutane. I didn't have super dry skin except around my nose, but this seemed to just dry me out too much. If you have normal or oily skin, it would probably be great. It is very gentle, has a clean smell, and my skin feels clean afterwards, just dry.

-Good for sensitive skin

This is the best cleanser I have ever used! It completely removes all traces of make up without irritating my eyes. I have used this product ever since my dermatologist suggested it about seven years ago. It's also gentle enough for sensitive and acne-prone skin. I recommend this cleanser to everyone!

If you do not want to use an acne cleanser, or scrub and just want to use a gentle wash, this is the wash for you. Lasts a good 3 weeks and will definetly keep your clear. I would never say that the product itself breaks me out or causes acne. I'd blame a breakout or a pimple on myself picking or popping, touching my face too much or sleeping on that area. Give it a try and good luck.

I've used this product for years. Never a problem. The last bottle I bought, I noticed it had a strong smell. I realized the label was a little different and the ingredients label showed 'fragrance'. I thought that was odd for a product that is supposed to be for sensitive skin. Well guess what? I started breaking out within a day! I haven't changed my makeup or hair products and wondered if it might be the Purpose so I went out and bought another cleanser that was for sensitive skin and fragrance free. I began to clear up. So to continue with my experiment, I went back to the Purpose. I started breaking out again! Why did J & J try to fix something that was never broken? Looks like another company is going to get my money from now on.

Love this face wash! I have very sensitive skin and i found that i cannot use anything with BP or SA bec it just irritates it more..this stuff is perfect! Its great for people who just need a basic face wash to let acne heal, not make it worse. It makes my skin soft and ive actually had fewer breakouts bec it takes off makeup and cleans deep :]

works really well! I have seen and heard so much good things about this prroduct so when I was down in the u.s.a I picked up a few bottles. I stopped using any medicated products and I just use Purpose to cleanse my face and i am seeing that my acne is starting to heal! I think all those bp and sa products were just causing more acne and irritation. I am glad I found this product! Now to find a awesome moisturizer

Bottom line, this is a GREAT clenser because of how gentle it is for your skin. A lot of other cleansers dryed out my skin and/or irritated it a bit. This cleanser doesn't do any of that. The bottle is pricey, especially for how much you get, but it is well worth it.
