    I really love this product, it's one of my favorite face washes. It was really gentle on my skin but it did dry me out a tad bit, not too much. It also never caused my skin to breakout, I gave it a...

    I love this face wash! It has been my go-to since my dermatologist recommended it years ago. I tried so many other cleansers - Cetaphil, Murad, Neutrogena, Bliss and others - and none have been...

    I absolutely LOVE this cleansing wash. It's my new favorite. It removes makeup and leaves your skin with just enough moisture. Super gentle especially on my oily skin. The only downfall is the...

    A great gentle cleanser for more oily skin types. This is one of the best cleansers when you're on a budget. Also a lot of dermatologists recomend this product.

    Purpose is a no-frills, clear liquid cleanser. It removes makeup and foams well but despite its claims that it is gentle, it dries my oily skin out and my face is tight and flaky after cleansing. ...

    I LOVE how this makes my skin feels so smooth and soft. It gives the same effect just like after washing my face with the aspirin mask. My face feels so clean and smooth, I just can't stop touching...

    This is a great cleanser; it's mild and gentle yet very effective. Other cleansers I've tried can be irritating but I have never had a problem with Purpose. It's reasonably priced. The only...

    Great product, but too expensive. Since it's made by J&J, I decided to compare it with their baby shampoo and it's almost exactly the same thing. Next, I found the generic version of J&J's Baby...

    This is a wonderful no-frills cleanser for those with normal to oily skin. The product claims (hypoallergenic, won't clog pores) are accurate. My only complaint is that it leaves my face feeling...

    I really like this cleanser-it does a great job of removing eye makeup and I don't need to use much.Sometimes,though,I have to wonder if this is the same stuff that is in the J&J head to toe body...

    I have combo skin that needs oil control, but is also very sensitive, so I have to be careful what I wash with. I'd previously been using Neutrogena's acne wash (which I'd also reviewed) -- which...
