Philosophy Purity Made Simple One Step Facial Cleanser 236 .6ml/8 oz — 

Philosophy's Purity Made Simple is a no frills cleanser that really gets the job done without a lot of scrubbing. It's a fairly watery-feeling cleanser that suds up pretty well, goes on your face very smooth, and rinses off just as easily. It evened out my skin tone, seemed to help with dry skin, and kept my breakouts at bay, too.

I know this cleanser is supposed to be fragrance-free, but this stuff definitely has a scent. I personally like the way it smells, and since it's not an overpowering scent, it really doesn't bother me at all.

Overall, my complaint about this stuff is the price. You do get a pretty big bottle for twenty dollars, but this isn't the kind of thing that 'a little goes a long way' - as I mentioned earlier, part of what makes it so gentle is the fact that it's so watery. If you try to use just a little bit, it's hard to work  up a lather - which means I tore through the whole bottle much faster than I have with other cleansers.

I'd say give this stuff a try, for sure, but keep in mind you may be throwing twenty dollars at something that doesn't work that much better than the stuff you were getting at the drug store.
