    "I hate this product!" It's all I want to say. After using it, my skin is soft and ''seem like clear", then I apply moisturizer (oil-free). So 3 days later, my my face is "break out", a lot of...

    I have super dry, sensitive skin so I am always weary of trying new products. Everything I'd tried before dried out my skin and made me flake or break out even more. I bought the Philosophy Purity...

    This stuff smells really good--like earl grey tea. Too bad it made me get huge cyst-like pimples. I didn't get them all over my face, but a couple would pop up the day after I started to use the...

    I like this cleanser. It's very gentle and even takes off my eye makeup. My only complaint is that it doesn't feel like it cleans my face. I'm the type of person who wants to see and feel the clean...

    I love the silky feel of this cleanser and it really gets the make up off without stripping the skin. Unfortunately, I consider it a splurge..its kind of pricy. But when I can, I will buy this.

    I had high hopes for this one, but for me, Purity Made Simple is nothing more than average. It does nothing exceptional for my skin; that being said, it doesn't irritate, dry out, or break out my...

    This and hope in a jar were both a HUGE letdown! This is way too gentle to wash away makeup. I actually have to remove my make up before washing my face with this. I'm sure there are tons of...
