    When I can afford it....I love this face cleanser as an option. It is quite pricy but I love how it removes everything. Even that no smudge liquid eyeliner. However, for the price of it I find that a less expensive facial cleanser does the same thing.

    I used to love Purity but maybe my skin decided to reject things that I love or perhaps Philosophy has changed the formula. I find that my skin dries up and feels tight after using Philosophy and I even started breakout. I had to stop using this cleanser and go back to Cetaphil.

    May be the least enjoyable cleaner I've tried. The scent is barely there, a minimal lemon fragrance. It cleans off most makeup but I still have to use remover for lashes/eyeliner. I feel like it's a boring product and prefer cleansers with yummy smells/exfoliating floaties/cute packaging. Also with this it's mandatory to apply a moisturizer afterwards or you'll dry out. Not worth the money... they could put this liquid in a hotel room (cheap complimentary products) and I wouldn't know the difference.

    This cleanser left my face really dry. It might be better for someone with oilier skin.

    I took a sample packet with me to Chile during their summer (high temperature, low humidity) because it was small and convenient as a travel liquid - more so than my usual cleanser. I had mixed feelings about this one.

    On the one hand, it did clean off most, if not all of the makeup that I had on my face. It could not clear my lashes off of the waterproof mascara (CoverGirl LashBlast 24hr) that I had on, but that was understandable. The smell was fine - a faint one.

    On the other hand, there was always this odd tingly feeling that was normally associated with me on the verge of breaking out into hives. I never did...but mind you, I had only used this for two weeks. I did have a breakout while using this, but I am not entirely sure if it was because of this...or because of the changes in my environment. I do know that my face felt a lot better when I went back to my old cleanser.

    I honestly did not find this cleanser that good for the price point that it is in. It was average at best...at least I only purchased a small bottle. I will say that it is suitable for sensitive skin as my skin did not react to it!

    I got this as a sample and tried it for about a week. I loved the fact that it was my cleanser, toner and moisturizer all wrapped into one. I have normal skin but after using this product it made my skin dry.

    Purity has always been really hyped up and I got sucked into thinking that this product would be fantastic. Well, it was not. Actually, this cleanser feels really nice on the skin. It also has a refreshing herbal scent (much like some Aveeda products). Although Purity contains lots of natural ingredients, it also contains two types of detergent. Sadly, this made me break out (really badly) within one use only. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone. The price is not worth it at all.

    So I dont have sensitive skin, which I think this product would suit best, but it came in a kit I got so why not give it a try right? Well I knew it was washing my face, but i saw no difference. I didnt breakout more or get anymore zits, but my face didn't improve There was no glow, no acne disappearance, no change at all. It just doesn't seem to be that deep of a cleanser. If you have super sensitive skin, maybe this will work for you, otherwise skip it. The price isn't worth it.
