    I was also a bit disappointed in this cleanser. It seems like it would be gentle as it has very little lather and fragrance. But it was too irritating on my somewhat sensitive skin. I couldn't...

    I was a bit disappointed in this cleanser. I expected it to be good for my oily/acne skin as a gentle cleanser. And not that it was bad it just didn't do much....It just left me feeling clean yet...

    This is a nice gentle cleanser and I used it a over 10+ years ago but it slightly dried out my skin so I stop using it. I have since learned that my skin prefers creamier or more moisturizing...

    I love this stuff! It is a simple cleanser that gets the job done. It takes off my makeup (even waterproof mascara) SO easily, I have no need for makeup removers anymore! I sometimes use proactiv,...

    It took off all my makeup, did not dry out my skin, and yes it was very gentle. But, it gave blemishes. And I never get blemishes. So, I stopped using it and then a couple months later a gave it a...

    I used Purpose when I was 15 or so, but as I got older, I decided I wanted a fancier -- and more expensive -- face wash. I'm not sure why I ever stopped using it -- it's simple, it's gentle and...

    *** EDIT- This stuff is good but Johnson and Johnson Clean and Clear Sensitive Skin Cleanser is very similar and I think about 2 bucks cheaper, as well as a larger size. So I have converted to that...

    I found this cleanser to be drying on my skin. I found that odd so I stopped using it for my face, but it works as a makeup brush cleaner! CHEAP TOO! :)
