Pros:

Killed my black heads and all of my blemishes

Cons:

No cons at all

i love this face wash. My boyfriend uses it which made me start having to use it. i used to have pimples under my skin and when I would wash my face I would feel them and there were so many. Then, after a few days all those pimples under my skin would appear. I had bad blemishes on my forehead but as soon as I started using purpose face wash it cleared my whole face. My face is softer and I have ZERO black heads zero pimples zero blemishes. It's amazing. Amazing what 5$ face wash can do.

Pros:

Gentle yet effective for cleaning

Cons:

NONE

I'm so grateful to acne.org for their reviews which helped me find this cleanser that is truly the best I've ever tried. It's so gentle yet effective at cleaning my face, even removing makeup. It doesn't cause more breakouts and doesn't dry my skin like every other soap or cleanser I've ever tried. I love this cleanser and I will use for the rest of my life!!! Thank you again to all reviewers on there for contributing to great products and for acne.org for creating a great website for us.

Pros:

gentle
cleanses well

Cons:

price

If you are deciding between this and cetaphil gentle cleanser, use this. Your oily skin will be much better managed with a foaming cleanser. I've been using cetaphil for 6 months and I wish i started using this sooner. My skin is much clearer while using the foaming cleansers. They just cleanse better. Cetaphil sometimes stings my skin and this does not. Purpose is the best.

Pros:

Doesn't over dry, cleans everything off quickly, lasts a long time, lathers up great

Cons:

bottle doesn't travel well and can't be taken into the shower

I can't live without this cleanser. It is simple, has no soap so it doesn't dry out my skin, and cleans my skin so well. I have ever experienced any irritation or had any breakouts from this product. It also has a comforting scent, its kinda like baby shampoo. Can't get much better than this cleanser.

Pros:

Very gentle, removes ALL makeup, no smell, leaves skin soft

Cons:

none

I have been looking for this product for years! I have been using Nuetrogena acne wash for years and it always stung my eyes when I took my makeup off and left my skin dry. Purpose is so gentle and takes all of my makeup off with absolutely no irritation. I am so happy. It is as gentle as water and leaves my skin moisturized. I have seen an improvement in my acne also.

Pros:

AMAZING make-up remover!!, Gentle enough to even use over your eyes and remove the strongest water-proof mascara/eyeliner without burning at all! Also GREAT for oily skin - no left over residue feeling!

Cons:

Doesn't clear acne as well as stronger products, but gets the job done.

BP will take care of the pimples, so Purpose is perfect if you're looking for something super gentle. After using Accutane for almost a year, my face would burn after a few washes with most "sensitive" cleansers. But I can use Purpose twice a day, everyday with no irritation whatsoever! It rinses away so clean and leaves skin feeling super smooth and oily feel, without that left over residue feeling like Cetaphil or other gentle cleansers. And the best part is it's so gentle, I can wash away my eye make-up with it, instead of using a harsh eye make-up remover. I can even open my eyes while washing my face!
