    I bought this because I needed a creamy cleanser to use with my clarisonic. I soon cut down my clarisonic usesage (to once a week) but kept using Purity as my everyday cleanser. I have never had a...

    Absolute LOVE. I finally found my HG cleanser that does it all. My only complaints: I wish the 24oz came with a pump, and it's a little pricey. But I will still continue to buy this!

    I have kinda mixed feelings about this. I use it in the evening for washing off my make-up and I think it makes somewhat decent job. It hasn't dried out my skin, but it hasn't reduced the oiliness...
