Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleanser Review

This product is an award winning 4-in-1 cleanser as it is 'highly effective one step cleaner'. It is meant to help remove make up, tone the skin and moisturising it - at once.


It is aimed for those with dry/sensitive skin as it is made with organic ingredients.

It comes in 2 sizes, 8oz and 16oz. Also sample-like sizes in special packs. But there are 2 full size bottles.
The one I have is the 8oz bottle.

I like the text around the front of the bottle as well as the back with the instructions and ingredients. The text at the from of this bottle really caught my eye! and the design isn't complicated, it was very simple and straight to the point!



The bottle is plastic, the lid is a black plastic push down flip top cap. So if I drop the bottle, it won't smash and you have to kind of squeeze the bottle abit to get the product out.


This product contains natural ingredients, it claims to help get rid of your bacteria collected on your face from the day/night and it's gentle formula sits on sensitive skin without irritation.
It's natural oils help to conidtion the skin after using it.

You can purchase this online from ebay, or Sephora (if you live in the States) or John Lewis in England.
Prices vary due to your location.

I paid £17.50 for this product, I thought it was a reasonable price if only a little goes a long way and for a skin product which comes from a known brand who specialise in skin , must mean they know what they are talking about? Anyways, I tried it... and here is my review......

A lot of people either hate it or love the product, I wasn't too sure how I felt about the reviews I saw on youtube but I gave it a try anyway! Seeing that it was highly raved by many people on youtube and internet, I thought it was wise for me to have a try!

The smell is so strong - I didn't like the smell after a few weeks of using this. At first I thought it was very much like spa products, very relaxing and fresh, but very citrus like. Now I hate it, it makes me want to vomit, I think it's too much for the face.
It gets rid of most of my make up well when I massage it into the skin for 30-60 seconds (as instructed on the bottle), but if I use my clrisonic with it then it gets rid of about 90% of my make up! including waterproof mascara which is great!
It makes my sensitive skin feel itchy, I feel that it is too strong and I do tend to itch my face quite abit after using it.
After I dry my skin, my face feels dry and squeeky which is not a good combination. I feel that it's stripped away my natural oils and I am left with acne-like spots (even though the natural oils are suppose to help hydrate the skin, I guess the oils arent they right oils for my skin).  I guess this product is abit too much for me *sigh*

The consistency of this product is thick creamy gel, it does not foam up but sits on the skin well.

A little goes a long way. (Even though in the picture there is abit too much, it was for picture purposes haha)

You can use this product twice a day, but for me, that is too much. It alters my face's pH and causes irritation - so becareful!

I read up on the internet for reviews about people who have also had the same problem as I did and they continued to use the product then after maybe about a week, their skin cleared up and then it became their holy grail. As for me, it's not applied to me. I only use this a few times when I go to my moms house, I deliberately left it at her house so I don't use it too much. Now I am coming up to finishing the product, I am glad and I won't be purchasing it again as I feel there are other products out there which benefits me alot more.
The price is abit high but without trying how will I know hey? Atleast I did try and in a nice way, I won't be re-purchasing this again.

I ended up using some of this product to shave my legs with .... it makes my legs feel tingly and sometimes red... I guess it just isn't right for me hey?

XxX~
