I love this cleanser! I've been using it for about 4 months now and have noticed improvement with my skin tone- less breakouts, more vibrant. It isn't very expensive at all. Usually Philosophy has promotions going on and sometimes you can get this as a 4oz sample free! If you are a skeptic, wait til the promotion is going on to try it.
I find it to be very mild, almost scentless.

Amazing Cleanser...It doesnt just rub the dirt around on your face it literally dissolves it. I have read that people dont like the smell but i LOVE it, almost lemony fragrance. Very soft and Silky texture without a lot of foam or bubbles... Works wonderful in the shower as well, Even my HUSBAND switched to my cleanser because he said its the best thing he has ever tried.

I've just started using this face wash. I wanted something that would work well as a makeup remover as well as washing my face, and this is it. I use this in the evenings when I come home, and my face feels nice and fresh and clean, not dried out at all. it cleans so quickly. I know you can use it as an eye makeup remover as well, but I don't, mostly because I usually still have my contacts in, and don't like having water and soap near my eyes. i use an eyemakeup remover later.

For the price, it lasts really long. I use this cleanser to get rid of my make-up, and I really really like it. It doesn't foam a lot, but that's because it also DOES NOT dry the face. I also use this cleanser to wash my make-up brushes, and everything has been going well so far. I have no complaints about this products. It's great! I recommend it to anyone with combination skin like mine.

I love the clean scent of this. I love how clean my face is after using this. Makes my skin look vibrant. Its a great cleanser for everyday use.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stuff. It has significantly helped the quality of my skin. I use this with their microderm exfoliator, using this at night and the exfoliator in the morning. This stuff is so refreshing... it doesn't leave any gross soapy film on your face, and it makes your skin so soft.

If you havent tried this cleanser yet, you seriously need to.
this is a great option for all skin types, despite what the sephora saleswoman told me. I have dry yet oily extremely sensitive acne prone skin, and have tried everything from clinique's 3 step system to proactiv to simple drugstore cures, and there just isnt a cleanser out there that tops this one. Its an ivory, milk based cleanser and a little goes a long way. I recieved a small bottle (about 8 oz) In november, and still have over half of it left.

you dampen your face a little, spread a small dollop of this insanely smooth, heavenly mixture on your face and gently lather. take your time for the cleanser to work its magic. a minute will do. this stuff will literally melt the makeup off your face, and leave you with baby soft skin. it has a slight peppery scent that put me off a little at first, but it quickly fades. after using this product for a few days, i was hooked. my face wasnt getting as oily, my dry patch had gone away, and after about a week most of my blemishes has cleared up and there werent any new ones in sight. :)

i recieved this as an early christmas present from my best friend in the makeup optional kit from sephora, because im always going on about my skin. best present ever, and i dont go a day without it now!

oh, sweet philosophy. i love you so.

I have oily skin and even though I am 32 years old at times I break out like a teenager and I hate it. So, this cleanser I used sparingly, only at night, in case it did not react well with my skin. After a week of use, I have not noticed any bad reaction and I really like this product. I like it because you only need a tiny amount and so the bottle will likely last between six an eight months. And it does not seem to have any perfumes or dyes in it. The only thing you need to make sure of is to rinse your face well because its a bit heavy. I find my skin is quite moisturized after use, as opposed to other cleansers that make my face feel dry. Overall, I’d recommend this product to anyone!

This is my very first philosophy product, and it won't be my last. I've heard lots of fabulous things about this cleanser. It really works wonders for me. It leaves my skin so fresh and clean but far from dried out. It is left soft and touchable. The scent is citrusy, which is the perfect pick-me-up first thing in the morning! My skin has never broken out since I switched to this cleanser. That is a great feat as my skin usually breaks out when I switch up my skin care regime. My only complaint about this cleanser: it says it can get rid of makeup as well, but I have yet to see it wash down my mascara. Still though, I find that every time I use Purity Made Simple, my face is clean enough to skip the toner. And if you're lazy like me, that is such a good thing! :)

It is an excellent cleanser for the dry winter where my skin is more normal, but I am curious to see how this will work with my oily skin during the summer weather. This one is a holy grail product for me! Highly recommended!

After many years using Clinique's 3-step system, and gettingno results, I leaped at a chance to try Philosophy's products. I am really impressed with Philosophy's Purity Made Simple cleanser. Never in my 10+ years using clinique has my face felt this clean when I finished washinf it. I always felt like it was coated and then a follow-up toner only helped to dry out my skin.

Purity made Simple feels just like it says...Pure and Simple. I use twice a day and my skin feels so soft and clean. Then I follow it up with my now beloved Hope In a Jar and the Hope in a Tube eye and lip cream. I notice that my skin is clearer and I want to say more radiant.

I highly recommend buying one of their kits to try a few products (they are a really good deal).
