    I say this is my second favorite cleanser. I have rosacea so it is hard for me to find a product that doesn't burn. Since my last cleanser changed its ingredients, my skin totally went all over...

    I thought this would work a lot better than turns out after hearing all the hype. It does work nice with my Clarisonic but I have breakouts constantly. It's called Purity but there is a laundry...

    Edit: I found a cheaper cleanser that I think works much better and faster than the purity.. oh and I don't like a lot of the ingredients in this product... a lot of them are actually pore clogging...

    Not the best cleanser, not the worst. Very gentle, great packaging, but just nothing special. I use it with my clarisonic and sure it gets all my makeup off, but other cleansers just work better.

    I love this product, I got it after using a sample version. It removes my makeup very well, besides liquid eyeliner. Which is okay, because I never wear liquid eyeliner

    Why did I ever stray? I suspect it was because of the price, but you get what you pay for. Fantastic cleanser that takes off all your makeup at night (read:mascara!) but is still gentle for each...

    This cleanser takes off all my makeup, including eye makeup with no rubbing needed. No heavy scent. Best cleanser I've every used.

    It's an okay cleanser. I wouldn't have bought it if someone told me it didn't foam. I like the smell and the packaging, but I don't think I believe it has a "built in" toner. Just not my fave...

    Made me break out horribly. Even though it lathered nicely, it left a film on my face, that even my toner couldn't remove. Returned.
