    This cleanser is very effective and really takes off all my make up by the end of the day. The only down side is that it’s very expensive for a small bottle. We don’t carry the big bottle (with the pump) in Canada, so I feel like it is a rip off to buy a smaller bottle each time. Also, I don’t know if it’s just me, but the bigger bottle always sells out fast and it’s always out of stock during sale season, Sephora should restock this item more frequently.

    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!

    Yes the cleanser is expensive, but honestly, it is worth every penny! I have been using it for 3 months both in the day and night and love it! It cleans my face, adds a fresh glow and has controlled my oil dramatically. The product does not dry my face, it even tones while it cleans and gentle enough for my eyes to remove any mascara or eye shadow. Love this product and will continue using it.

    I have been using purity for about 4 years now and it is the best cleanser out there. Removes all my makeup and leaves my face feeling clean and soft.

    This cleanser is by far the best I have found. I have tried many other ones and nothing comes close to this product. Not only does it clean your face really well, but it also helps with keeping your face moisturized and works well with other Philosophy products. It is more expensive but well worth it when you get results!

    I don't know what all the fuss about this stuff. I splurged on it at sephora because everyone makes such a big deal about it and I was incredibly disappointed. Dried my skin on my cheeks and broke me out on my chin. Hate hate hate!!

    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.
