Customer Reviews

wish this had worked for me
I rarely write reviews but I wanted to provide a counterpoint to some of the ecstatic reviews of this cleanser. I used it for about a week and while it made some parts of my face look beautiful and I loved the smell, it ended up giving me cystic acne like I haven't had in years. I stopped using it two weeks ago and one of the cysts is still there.

I'm in my twenties and took Accutane as a teenager, so I'm an extreme case as far as the skin problems go. Nonetheless, if you've got oily, problematic skin, this may not be the solution for you. Please, get the smallest bottle before you commit to a bigger one. This stuff is too expensive to waste tons of money on if you're not sure it won't end up making you look & feel worse.

Loved the way it felt, loved the way it smelled, but it didn't work out for me and the same may be the case for you.

Life Changer
I've been using philosophy products for almost a year, and I've fallen in love with them. After reading the reviews, I thought that maybe sharing my experience would be helpful.

I'm 28 years old, and have oily, acne prone skin. I've been struggling with my skin since I was 13 years old, and have tried literally everything on the market.

On a whim, I bought Purity Made Simple, and noticed a difference the very first time I used it. My face felt clean...really, really clean...for the first time in ages. I had no real problems for the first few days, then around the end of the first week, I had a terrible breakout. Cystic acne, regular acne, you name it. It was awful. My first reaction was to stop using Purity, then I remembered the old adage, it gets worse before it gets better, and kept using it day and night. Keep in mind, at this time, Purity was only skin care product I used. About 10-14 days later, my skin starting looking better. My acne healed and my face looked...dare I say clear? I gradually started adding in other philosophy products and since that time, I've had maybe 1 pimple every 4 weeks, if that. My skin is soft, radiant, and clear. For the first time in my entire life, I can go out of the house with no makeup on. For me, it's been a miracle.

I've thrown away every other product I had in the bathroom, I'm a believer. I'm a philosophy girl through and through. I can't praise philosophy enough, and I encourage anyone to try it. Give it a chance to work, it'll change your life.

Worth the money
I have used purity made simple for three months and love it! Yes, it is a bit more pricey but, I haven't even used half of an 8 ounce bottle. It definitely washes away my mascara, liner and all traces of foundation. I do not need a toner. I also follow with philosphy hope in a jar and my 47 year old skin has never looked better. I have had horrible breakouts since my preteen years and now the breakouts are becoming rare. I have also noticed an improvement in the size of the pores on my nose. I can't say enough good things about purity made simple. I highly recommed this to everyone.
