Review of Philosophy Purity Made Simple (Real Purity Cleanser) by Sjez

A high end cleanser that delivers! This cleanser removes all makeup (yes, even waterproof) without drying out my skin or stinging my eyes. I pair this with a really gentle cleanser like Cerave or Cetaphil to use in the evening and morning, respectively. I have really easy skin, so finding a cleanser that keeps my skin clean and clear isn't hard, but my skin is even better than "great" with this stuff.


Pros: creamy formula is great for dry or combination skin, removes makeup and is the only cleanser I've ever used that literally melts away the tiny blackheads and whiteheads on the tip of my nose. Relatively cheap because you only need a dime sized amount to remove makeup and wash your whole face, as opposed to a proper dollop of most cleansers.


Cons: the smell isn't awesome, but it isn't offensive either. I wish it came with a pump in the smaller sizes. Is a bit on the drying side for creamy cleansers. It broke my friend out, so it isn't for everyone, but I do think the formulation is something special.
