Pros:

- Gentle
- Non-irritating
- Cheap
- Clean Scent
- Skin feels super clean after washing with Purpose

Cons:

NOTHING

I started using Purpose when my skin became really sensitive from RetinA & I LOVE IT! I wear a lot of make-up & it cleans it all off & does not leave a residue. It is so gentle & doesnt dry my skin. If you have sensitive skin or are on RetinA, I strongly suggest you use Purpose. It is cheap, you can get it at any CVS, supermarket, etc & it keeps my skin soft & supple!

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:

Washes off makeup and does the job it should for the acne.org regimen :)

Cons:

None, but will be going on a trip soon, so this isnt really travel friendly

Amazing! and cheap!

Pros:

Foams well, removes all make up (including eye), leaves skin feeling exceptionally clean!

Cons:

Pump bottle is not travel-friendly.

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!

Pros:

Lathers great, leaves skin feeling soft and smooth, very gentle, easy to remove, good scent, keeps me clear.

Cons:

Leaves my skin a little dry, but after a few glasses of water my skin hydrates itself.

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.

Pros:

Lathers great, leaves my skin soft and refreshed without blemishes, very gentle

Cons:

Packaging allows water to leak in and isn't travel friendly (you have to waste some or wash your face in order to close the pump)

It's a great cleanser! The only drawback is the package :)

Pros:

Lathers well, scent, gentle, leaves my skin clean & soft

Cons:

I haven't found any yet. The bottle could be bigger.

This is an amazing cleanser. I have acne prone, oily skin. I've tried cetaphil before but I didn't like the fact it didn't lather and I felt it didn't remove my makeup. Purpose removes my make up, makes my skin soft, and is dramatically clearing up my face. Side notr: I was at walmart comparing the ingredients in Purpose to Clean & Clears gentle face wash and they appear to be the same and in the same order. Bigger bottle & a cheaper price.

Pros:

This cleanser is very gentle, especially to sensitive skin. I tried other cleansers that claim to clear breakouts and redness but they only make it worse. I always come back to this!! It gets rid of the grease without overcleansing.

Cons:

Works best the first few times and then starts to not work as well but I still love it!

Definitely buy this cleanser. It is one of the best basic cleansers you can buy for any skin type. It doesn't dry out skin,make it too greasy, or cause more breakouts. My face feels awesome after using it. The price is great for such a great product as well! I highly recommend buying this.

Pros:

Love the foam and how fresh it makes your face feel after washing. Doesn't dry your skin out as much as other face washes, so it's good to use year-round. i love how it's hypoallergenic, and dermatologist recommended.

Cons:

I don't think I have any I really love it.

Cleans skin, removes makeup really well, and doesn't dry skin out like crazy!
