Pros:

Takes off all of your makeup
Nice scent
doesn't dry out skin

Cons:

Expensive but I think it's worth it because it worked for me

I always had the occasionally breakouts but one month, I broke out with all this colorless, bump ALL over my face. It was terrible!! You could see the bumps in any light and it was so embarrassing especially when you have people asking what happened to your face! I don't know what caused the bumps but it was seriously ALL over my face and I didn't know what I did to cause them to this day! It lasted for more than a month and I didn't change anything in my face routine...but anyways I grabbed an old bottle of Purity and started using it because I was desperate to get rid of those bumps. Every morning I would wake up to more pumps on my face but after using Purity, the next morning, I saw that some of the bumps had diminished, I kept using it and the bumps started to disappear. Soon, I ran out of the old bottle so I went to Sephora and bought a 24 oz. of the Purity and now my skin is pretty much smooth. and that was only like a week using Purity! Everyone should give this a try. The cheapo est bottle of Purity is $10!! Expensive for the size but if it works, I think it's worth it then!!

It's drying
I have bought the travel size several times, but I doubt I'll buy it again. It smells like a citronella candle. (So, chemicals basically). Not the worst smell but not the best. When I apply it to my face, it stings my nostrils. The main reason I won't repurchase is because it's drying. If I use it several days in a row my skin gets dry, tight and flaky. And I moisturize A LOT. Sure, it's easier to get a nice clean feeling with this cleanser vs. a non-lather cleanser, but it's not worth the dry skin.

Dry my skin out
I heard all about the rave of this simple cleanser and decided to try it out. The scent was overpowering (I think it was lavender?), but I didn't really mind. It doesn't lather up like the foaming cleanser I was used to, but I heard it is better for the skin. However, this cleanser dried my cheeks out really badly and broke me out on my forehead. It took me a week to realize that I was not experiencing weather allergies but reactions to this cleanser. That being said, it might have been some chemical ingredients in the cleanser, some essential oils (I think it has black pepper extract?), or it might have been the Cinnamomum cassia leaf oil since I have an intolerance to cinnamon if I ingest it. I returned it to the store anyway.

Pros:

great makeup remover
leaves skin feeling clear

Cons:

expensive
doesn't lather

I loved this product and found that it really did remove all traces of my makeup from my face. I purchased my for $40.00 but it is enough to last me around 8 months which is a good thing. I love this product and have seen a dramatic reduction in the amount of acne I have
