    Loved purity by philosophy! Not harsh like other cleansers but still affective. BE CAREFUL, however, and be sure to follow directions and apply for 60 seconds. Won't treat harsh acne very well, but...

    One of my all-time favorite facial cleansers! At my age, some products seem to make my skin dryer and saggier, but not this one. It cleans well, but is not drying, and seems to firm my skin. Not...

    I am on my fourth bottle of this so I guess you can say that I like it. I am a big fan of the creamy consistency. It lathers up well. It also does not leave my face feeling tight and dry. Which is...

    My skin got immune to this product after about 4-6 months and I started to break out. I tried using it again a year later and it did nothing for me. Super disappointed.

    Love it at first, but now it makes my face very dry and causes it to flake sometimes. I've never experienced this with any facewash until I used purity. It's also pretty expensive, paying $25 Cad...
