I have rosacea and super dry skin in winter. I've tried EVERYTHING with no relief. Someone recommended Philosophy so I tried it and my skin is A) no longer dry at all, and B) no longer red/inflamed, but rosy and clear and smooth. I'm using this with the Hope In A Jar for dry and sensitive skin. It seems to keep getting better with use.

The scent isn't that great but at least it's all natural, no perfume.

My only complaint with beauty.com is their no returns policy. When I try something new that I'm not sure that I'll love, I shop elsewhere. Once I know I like it I purchase here.

Most Liked Negative Review

They Changed the Formula!

This has always been a great product for removing all makeup (including eye makeup). But, I am disappointed that they have changed the formula to be runnier, thus, using more product every time. I used to be able to use a bottle in about a year. Now, it looks like I will have to purchase every 3-6 months. I like Philosophy usually, but I don't like it when they cheap out.

Comments about philosophy purity made simple, one-step facial cleanser, 8 fl oz:

I LOVE this product! I didn't start wearing make-up regularly until recently, and I REALLY didn't like the thought of using eye make-up remover AND soap at the end of the day...tried Purity and LOVE it...it's been my experience, though, that it doesn't seem to do well when removing most mascaras...so I changed my mascara, and now all is well!!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A fragrance to it!

By allie_b

Bad Smell

Best Uses

Comments about philosophy purity made simple, one-step facial cleanser, 8 fl oz:

I was suprised at the fragrance, that it had a fragrance. With a name like Purity you would think it would be unscented.

It smells like a mild version of Murphy's Oil Soap. Gross!

Each time I wash my face I can't help but think of cleaning other things around the house. LOL

I'm truly getting sick of buying different beauty products only to discover that they've added fragrances and smells to them. Why do they think that we want to be cleansing our faces (our noses!), with something that stinks?!?

Even though Purity's smell is not pleasant by any stretch of the imagination it's tolerable enough that I'll use the rest of the bottle.

I will not be purchasing it again however, because of how it smells.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

check your ingredients-parabens in this

By D

from phila., PA

Comments about philosophy purity made simple, one-step facial cleanser, 8 fl oz:

this used to be my favorite face wash until I heard about the possible harmful affects of parabens in beauty products. Until I feel they are safe, I will not use any products with parabens.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

at the end of each day or at the beginning of each morning, take a small amount of purity made simple, a little water and begin to cleanse. take a leisurely pace when washing yourself clean. cleanliness is a new beginning. when you feel clean you can begin being who you really are.
