    I"ve purchased this cleanser twice in my life because I really wanted to like it. People rave about it all the time. It just doesn't work for my skin. It didn't clean my oily skin enough and I...

    I was quite excited to try Purity when the lady at Sephora gave it such rave reviews! I have to say, this cleanser is just normal. It doesn't do any miracles for my skin. Hasn't cleared any...

    An OK cleanser, but for the price I would expect a little more performance wise. It did not do anything for my skin, in fact my skin was worse than ever after using it, can't blame the cleanser...

    I don't understand the hype with this product, it's just okay. It gives you a good, smooth, clean feeling but it definitely does not remove your make up in a split second like it advertises on...

    I should have known that I would be among the few to breakout from this. Oh well, to each it's own. It's a good cleanser. It gets the job done but comes at a cost. But it is very concentrated so a...

    After a reaction to Clinique, I started using Cetaphil. I like Cetaphil, but it does a really poor job of removing makeup (I mean foundation and lipstick, not eye makeup). So, I switched to...

    This is a good product if you take off your makeup in the shower, but using it as a face wash is a no-no (even though they said it was a cleanser...). It made my skin flaky and break out. I guess...

    I received a sample of this in the July 2011 Birchbox. I remove my makeup at night with cold cream, then follow up with a gentle cleanser (usually Cetaphil). Instead of using Cetaphil, I switched...

    I don't understand all the hype for this product. I didn't even feel like it cleaned my face at all. It felt like it just sat on top of it.
