I love this stuff! I use this every day. I think a lot of philosophy skin care products smell really nasty, but this product doesn't bother me at all. I will continue to re-purchase this product.

I bought the whole kit from Sephora. Not only was it expensive but it made my acne worse than it had ever been in my life, seriously. The face wash stinks of sulfur and leaves your face smelling...

I use this in the morning to keep the oilies away during the day. I find it works well - I only use it in the morning, though, and use Purity Made Simple at night, so as not to overdry. My skin...

I bought this product when I was pregnant. I have acne and the pregnancy made it worse. This did absolutely nothing for me. I bought the whole line, what a waste of money.

I love this cleanser, but I don't use it by it self. I use it with purity.I use it after Purity because of my oily skin. It has made a difference. Will continue to use this item.

This is by far the worse cleanser I have ever used. I got it as part of their acne kit and it's the most drying thing ever. I don't like the smell of it, although it's not that bad... it's just...
