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!

Pros:

It's a good buy. I've been using it for years. Occasionally I'll change to a new product and my face will go face to doing its break out and then redness drying routine. So I stick with Purpose. I also use Weleda moisturizing cream afterwards.

great product

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:

Very sensitive and it cleared my lower back :D and smells very good and clean

Cons:

a bit drying, but nothing to worry about

I bought this product to use as a face wash, but i figured.. Why not use it when I shower, also ? And BANG, the acne on my lower back is 80% gone after only 3 washes :O I have struggled with this for many years, so it is a little worrying, that this cleanser was the only thing I needed .. :) But now I am glad :)

Pros:

Gentle,refreshing,light

Cons:

N/A

I love this product, I have been using it for about a week now and it has cleared my skin almost completely. After trying acne medications and creams, I decided just to go back to the basics - a gentle cleanser, Witch Hazel toner and a light oil-free moisturizer. It's worked. Purpose is light, refreshing and gentle on the skin. It lathers decently well and smells just like Baby Shampoo.

Pros:

It's really gentle
smells nice and clean
washes off all my makeup

Cons:

It does have fragrance which can irritate some peoples skin
I also wish it also came in a bigger bottle

If you have sensitive skin or are on a really drying acne medication I highly suggest this. It's a really great product for the price, and doesn't over dry my skin. It doesn't make your skin feel tight. It also smells like baby shampoo, which I really like. It's a great mild and gentle cleanser to use everyday!

Pros:

It removes makeup remarkably well; very gentle; neutral smell; left my skin feeling clean and soft.

Cons:

The bottle is rather small; contains sulfates (as a surfactant) which may result in drying after excessive use.

I just started using this about a week ago but I really like how well it removes my makeup, and in just a few seconds. It will even remove eye makeup. My face feels great after I use it and it is not irritating in any way. The texture of my skin also looks great after I wash my face with this! It is a very neutral cleanser and doesn't smell strong. I love it so far!

Pros:

Gentle on skin, leaves skin soft and supple, inexpensive, no irritating or annoying scent, good for combination skin

Cons:

Johnson&Johnson, please change the packaging to help me avoid messing up the integrity of the product!

Definately recommended. I tried Neutrogena, Clinique, Aveeno, Clearasil, Clean&Clear. But it seems like everything I used just made my skin break out even more. I had the last straw when I tried SeaBreeze Naturals. My skin was dry, flaky, and irritated!!! I had to buy Eucerin Aquaphor Healing Ointment to put on my skin just to get it back to normal state. Plus I was still oily and breaking out. I bought Purpose because of so many recommendations and reviews and I can honestly say that I am so much happier with the state of my skin. i don't have severe acne, but I do have a bump here or there. So I use Clearsil Spot Treatment to put on my face where I have occasional acne.
