    I received the full sized bottle as a gift... wow! It's amazing stuff. it's lasted a long time which surprised me. I love that it's a one step process. I use this stuff at night only since it;s the best time to wash off the makeup, the pores, and grime at the end of the night. I use a separate eye makeup remover since the eyes are more delicate spot to work with. I dampen my face with water and then use a small amount of product over my face and neck, massaging it in. It works in a very gentle manner and is very hydrating when you rinse off. I don't need to use it in the morning since it did the best clean up at night time. It has lasted a long time. It's a well made product which does not separate over time. You really only need a small amount of product on your face since this does WORK! I'll have to buy a new bottle soon yet it's worth every penny! (Hello, Sephora!)

    I love this philosophy product. I have a friend who is a vendor for philosophy and she gave me this cleanser and let me tell you it started working on my skin immediately! You can actually feel it working in your pores. You must try this cleanser.

    I was able to pick this up for $12CAD during their Black Friday sale. I wasn't sure about buying it as I have senstive skin and tend to break out easily. But to my surprise after using it my skin didn't feel tight and it didn't make me break. I would pay full price for the product, but getting it on sale is great too. If I knew how much I would like the face wash I would have purchased 2 bottles.

    This is hands down the best face wash I have ever used. I am quite stubborn when it comes to removing my make-up and cleaning my face. I tend to buy facial cleanser, get bored with it after a week or two and then go buy a new one; but Purity has changed that. This is kind of cliche, but within a couple of days, my skin really did start to clear up! I've been using this cleanser for 5 months now and very rarely get zits. I also have eczema and sometimes get dry patches on my eyelids. This cleanser is gentle, doesn't sting your eyes and doesn't irritate my eczema. Well worth the money!

    I bought this product because it was recommended to me by an associate and it was the last of this that they had in the store. It’s a one-step facial cleanser.

    Purchased at Sephora
    I paid $12 for the bottle during the Black Friday sale


    Packaging: I love the bottle this came in, I mean its just a standard bottle but I love the text on it, and the fact that its just a really clean solid design. Also this purity, smells AMAZING! I don’t even know how to describe the smell.


    Performance: OMG I am in love with this cleanser. I started using it in the morning when I wake up and then again before I go to bed, and in the week or so I’ve been using it my skin has gotten softer and clearer. I’ve been sick off and on with the most stupid viral infection and it’s been making me break out and Purity took care of it right away.
    It also removes makeup so easily, I only use 3 smallish drops on my fingertips for my whole face when I wash it, and this was enough to remove a full face of makeup no problem. Didn’t get rid of my mascara as easily but that’s in part because I am very hesitant to rub product in around my eyes.

    Buy again?
    Absolutely I will be buying another bottle once this one eventually runs out. Hopefully I can find it on sale because it’s normally around $40CAD for the size I got. ^.^

    Overall: 10/10 love it.

    This product is sooo worth the price you pay. I have tried all kinds of skin care products recently and this by far is my favourite and the most effective. I found that when you pair it with a cleansing brush (I use a small travel sized Sephora one) the effects are maximized. I love it!!

    I definitely think it's worth it to pay for products that just work SO well. I recently tried Purity and I love it. I first tried it in the shower with a full face of makeup on. It took everything off so well. I couldn't believe how it took off all of my mascara, eyeliner, etc, and I didn't get any tightness to my skin or burning in my eye area afterwards. In fact, after I use it, my skin feels pretty soft and looks nourished and clean. I've tried my old cleanser after trying Purity and it just doesn't compare. Love this product.

    I am on my second bottle of Purity.

    I love it. It's gentle, I like the smell (a lot of people complain of the medicinal smell) as it reminds me of lavender and clean. It takes off all of my makeup effectively and leaves my skin feeling great. I don't have to use a toner afterwards. I don't even have to use a moisturizer after if I don't want to...but I do because I it

    It is expensive. Especially in Canada. You can pick it up at Sephora and the Bay though. I bought it first from the website. Big no no. To ship to Canada I had to pay a Fedex bill of an extra $60 bucks on top of the $16 I paid to Philosophy. I think I ordered $120 bucks worth of stuff. Not impressed.
    I like to buy the kits from Philosophy as they are a better value and come with great stuff. I have become a Philosophy girl and I will not go back. It is worth it to me as I have seen a great improvement in my skin texture and I suffer from less breakouts. As well, it lasts a long time. I use one pump and my first bottle lasted over 6 months!
    Try it. It's good stuff.

    I bought the trial size first to test it out and then bought the next size up since I liked it so much. This cleanser has not made me break out. It is a bit expensive for a facial cleanser but it is worth it. I use it in the morning and evening. In the evening, I use it with my clarisonic mia and it leaves my face feeling clean and soft.

    I really LOVE this cleanser. I use it twice a day and it works well with my combination skin. In the morning I’ll smooth it on my dry face and rub it around. After a few minutes, I add water to create a creamy lather and rinse off. It may not lather like you are used to, but that’s because it doesn’t have any added detergents to make the foam. At night, I wipe it off with a wet towel or use it with my Clarisonic to remove my makeup. I have sensitive skin with the occasional breakout and this cleanser has been gentle on my skin. Even though it has a few oils in the ingredients, it cleanses and moisturizes very well. I use a retinol/glycolic/HQ mix at night that leaves my skin really dry at times. Purity Made Simple cleans but does not strip my skin or irritate it…it leaves it soft and removes all of my makeup. I sometimes use witch hazel as a toner but it isn’t really necessary. I personally like the smell, not strong or even really that noticeable. I definitely see this cleanser staying in my skin routine. I honestly don’t have anything bad to say about this product. Start with the smallest bottle and try it out for yourself. A little goes a long way. The larger sizes are more economical though but either way it’s money well spent!
