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

Philosophy Purity Made Simple One Step Facial Cleanser

Let me start off by saying I do like a lot of Philosophy's products, just not this one. I have combination skin that takes well to a lot of different products usually with no problem, I purchased a Philosophy skin care starter kit at Sephora and of course this cleanser was the focalpoint of the kit.

Upon first use I noticed how odd the scent was but figured, hey it's new maybe the scent's a bit concentrated at the beginning, I was wrong, the plastic-like smell never softened and actually seems to get worse with use, it was awful.

The cream gel-like off white lotion is creamy but not greasy, I used as directed, rinsed it off very well and still felt like I had a film of it on my face. I wanted to give my skin a chance to adjust to this cleanser but it never really did, after about 3 weeks of use my skin had a dull roughness to it and was becoming itchy. I stopped using it and asked my sister if she'd like to have it, so far she likes it and I'm happy for her but I feel like Purity Made Simple is hyped more than necessary, it's not all it's made out to be that's for sure.

Very displeased with this product, the one good thing I can say is that it removed my very black mascara easily, but that's all.
