    This product was just OK. Maybe I'm just used to cleansers that are more harsh, but my face never really felt "clean." It still felt like I had some makeup left. Also, it took a lot of pumps to...

    I have acne, and for years I have used medicated cleansers that do nothing but irritate my already irritated face. Stupid, right? Since I started using Purpose, I still have acne (I'm pretty sure...

    I love this face wash. Removes my eye makeup easily. It powers right through UDPP and cleans my eyeshadow off. It is a good enough cleanser to remove liquid (even EL Doublewear) or mineral...

    I love this stuff! It's so gentle, yet it takes off all of my makeup without drying my skin.

    This stuff is amazing! After years of using harsh cleansers on my face to get rid of acne (and with minimal, short-term results) I decided to take a gentler route and try Purpose. For only $6,...

    I tried out this cleanser after I ran out of my beloved Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. The Purpose bottle dispenses more easily because of the pump but I find that Cetaphil washes off more easily....

    I have mixed feelings about this product. I have used this face wash off and on for a few years. But, I feel like it does nothing for me. Or, maybe I am just hoping for a miracle when using it. It...

    I was using DHC cleanser which I like but is so expensive I thought I'd try other products. I switched to Neutrogena and had to throw it out after 3 weeks because it dried my skin horribly. I then...

    A cleanser that that cleans. I like simplicity when it comes to cleansers, one that will sud, remove makeup, and make my face feel clean without residue left behind. This is just it.

    Although I don't currently use this product, it served me very well when I was advised by a dermatologist to use it in conjunction with Retin-A. Since the Retin-A is rather harsh, the "Purpose"...
