NOT FOR ME.. :(

Knowing this product is on Acne.org + after seeing the amount of stars this product has i was expecting my acne to clear off at least just a little with this.. I've used this for over a month. Every day.. Morning & Night. I honestly had high hopes when i first got this but it ended up disappointing me. I've been suffering from severe acne for over 3 years now.. And i'm tired of it. I've used tons of acne treatments but none have worked for me.. Purpose Gentle Cleaning Wash is certainly not helping either. So if anybody recommends another acne treatment then i would highly appreciated if you tell me by commenting on this review. Thanks.

Pros:

Gentle, nice smell, and it does not make me break out.

Cons:

None

I love this cleanser. I have been using this product for the past six years and I have not had a single problem with this. This product leaves my skin feeling clean but not tight or dry. Its really a great cleanser if you have acne prone skin and it also works great in combination with benzoyl peroxide.

Pros:

Cleans my makeup off
Face FEELS clean
Cheap
Hasn't made me break out

Cons:

Nothing!

I LOVE this soap!!! I've been using it for a couple years, and it is one of the few face soaps that made me feel clean/didn't clog my pores (causing me to break-out). This soap does NOT help to clear acne. It's just a gentle soap. But it's AMAZING!

Pros:

Fragrence free.

Cons:

Too drying.
Too expensive.

I had to stop using this face wash because it was too drying for me. I actually dilluted it with some water and that seemed to help stop it from being so strong. I now use dove fragrence free soap on my face and it isn't so dry. It is a really nice face wash, but too drying for me.

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:

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!

Pros:

Works really well, very consistent.

Cons:

Only two;doesn't work great with the stubborn pimples[but a spot treatment should do the trick]

You should totally buy it, personally i think it works better with oilier skin.

Pros:

gentle, lathers, makes skin soft, evens texture

Cons:

not strong enough for stubborn pimples, small packaging

I have very sensitive skin, and I have been using Cetaphil for about a year, it seemed to stop working so I switched to Purpose. I am extremely happy with the results, my skin is very soft, and I have gotten 1 or 2 pimples in the past couple of weeks. I use Walgreens Natures Finest AHA face cream, and that has helped a great deal as well. I highly recommend this regimen if you have sensitive yet acne prone skin.

Pros:

Extremely gentle, pump bottle makes it easy to use in the shower.

Cons:

none yet.

Gentle on my sensitive, blemish-prone skin. I do need to moisturize after using, my skin tends to dry out after cleansing. Removes all my makeup!

Pros:

-Effective
-Unclogs pores
-Takes make up off

Cons:

-None

This has completely replaced my old Cetaphil. I have extremely sensitive skin and I am irritated by most cleansers out there..... I found out that this cleanser leaves me feeling more moisturized, and I no longer have that tight feeling after cleasing! :) Also, it instantly takes off my make up and clears out pores (unlike Cetaphil, which left me with clogged pores:( ) I love Purpose :)
