This is a great cleanser, that is very gentle. It does not clog pores, or break out skin like many others. I would highly recommend this product.

Pros:

Smells good
Great design
Not harsh
Very soothing

Cons:

None so far!

I love this face wash! I just got it two nights ago, but I can already tell the difference. My skin is softer, and my acne doesn't look so angry and red. I have super sensitive skin that gets irritated by almost everything, and this is perfect!

Pros:

prevents acne, helps heal existing acne/scars, soothes redness, fresh feel, non irritating even on my sensitive skin.

dont waste your money on prescriptions or over the counter products with sa and benzoyl peroxide. they just never work because the companies want their products to work ok insted of great so you buy more. BUY THIS!!!!!!

Pros:

Very gentle
Doesn't irritate the skin

Cons:

Pricey
Bottle is sort of small.

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.

Pros:

-very gentle
-gives my face a nice glow
-great scent
-none irritating, even to eyes

Cons:

-none

This is not a cure for acne, but this is the perfect cleanser to wash your face with right after you wake up. If you are like me and hate unscented things, this is perfect for you, it has a very gentle smell to go along with its gentle formula. It never broke me out, it did what it said it would, it cleaned my face. The smell reminds me of washing my hair as a baby (it smells just like johnson and johnsons baby shampoo). Yes the bottle is big and bulky but i have two small plastic containers i filled with this cleanser and i take those with me when i'm not at home so i dont have to worry about the bottle leaking!

Pros:

- cheap
- doesn't dry out skin
- refreshing smell

Cons:

- packaging isn't the greatest, can leak like past reviewers have said

I buy the large bottle at Ulta because I love it so much and it's more cost effective. I have been using this cleanser on and off since high school (5-6 years) and it works great on my sensitive skin. In the past I have been on other topical medications and this is the only cleanser that doesn't dry out my skin.

Pros:

Excellent! I have finally found an awesome cleanser that doesn't irritate or dry out my skin. Yes, yes, yes!!! So happy about this product!!!!

Cons:

Not available in Canada. (Bought this cleanser in the States a few weeks ago)

My skin is so sensitive, prone to oiliness and dryness at times. I have found the perfect one for me. I don't wear make up (foundation, powder) so I can't comment on the efficacy of make up removal. All I can say is when I stopped putting that crap on my face it cleared up and stayed that way.

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.

Bottle does not travel well (it leaks) and cannot be stored in the shower (water gets in it).

Best cleanser I've found. I have extremely sensitive skin and this cleanser does not irritate or dry out my skin like most cleansers do.
