Opinion on Purity

rerun1982 — Wed, 02 Nov 2016 23:45:02 GMT

I'm new to Philosophy and Purity after my favorite eye makeup remover seems to have been discontinued. I bought the TSV Purity and it smells like wasp spray. Considering all the great reviews on this product I'm curious if it's supposed to smell this way?

I tried purity years ago, it dried my face like crazy. I waited for awhile and tried it again, too harsh for my face. I haven't tried since. I really don't think it was a pleasant (like citrus or such) smell, as I would have remembered that aspect .

I could never really identify Purity's smell. It did not have a citrusy smell to me. I did use it for a while and it worked well for me but I didn't love it enough to keep buying it.

I just sniffed my 32 oz and can't say that is smells like wasp spray. Just smells soapy and kind of generic to me. I will say that in the few times I have gotten some in my mouth by accident it tastes terrible.

It is a great make up remover though. Be sure to mix with water and massage in.

Don't worry if you have a different opinion about purity...I tried it a few years ago. I cannot use it. Burned my eyes and dried out my face. I was in the store that started with "U" and they were wanting to clean my face before trying on a foundation and wanted to use Purity. I told them to keep that stuff away from me. She never heard of someone not liking it. Just a couple of seconds later, another woman was walking by and heard our conversation, and she said the same thing as me. She didn't like Purity either for the same reason.

Some people love it, and some people can't use it. Everyone is different.

I just smelled mine and it definitely doesn't smell like wasp spray or any type of bug spray. Mine seems void of scent.

I guess the only thing that is proven is that they aren't consistant. Mine definitely isnt void of scent or smell like soap.

Mine definitely does NOT smell like wasp spray, although I must admit I'm not sure what exactly wasp spray smells like except I assume icky. 😀. I love my Purity for face and body and it loves me! I find mine has a faint scent that is refreshing and clean but does not linger. It has made my very acne scarred skin, that used to always be red and irritated and I was unable to tolerate any moisturizer it was so sensitive into soft, no longer red or irritated skin and I know my Purity along with my Josie Maran argan oil has improved my skin so much so that for the first time in my 50+ years I actually get compliments on my skin from people who've known me for years and they always ask "what are you using"? I've even converted friends and family into Purity and Josie Maran users!

I really wonder if you somehow got a bad batch. Although after reading the negative replies I'm not sure. I guess what is magic for some isn't so for others which is why there's so many successful beauty products available.

I highly recommend you return it! If it's been over the 30 day limit I'd call customer service and explain the problem and if you experience the great customer service I always have from the q they WILL allow you to return it and give you a full refund!

Good luck to you on finding what works for you!

I am inclined to agree. I would return it too.

You might go to one of the many stores that carry it and try a tester...see what you smell.

I've used it for a while. I haven't really thought about the smell, it works and cleanses but it makes my skin dry.

Thanks for all the replies. I found the makeup remover from IT Cosmetics on sale @ their website. It doesn't have an overwhelming odor and works much better on my waterproof mascara. The Purity will be going back!

I'm a big Purity fan and I don't even wear a lot of makeup, but it doesn't have a great smell. It doesn't stink, but I can't say it smells good either.

Re: Opinion on Purity

I just opened a new purity (8 oz) and it was sealed. I know what wasp spray smells like and it did not. More a medicinal smell maybe. No added fragrance.

Hmm I definitely don't smell anything chemical or wasp spray smelling in my purity (the big one) i just purchased. It's definitely a natural scent with no perfumes but not icky either. I thoguht it smelled kind of nice in a non perfume way.

To me it smells like Ivory Soap, which I detest -- but I love Purity, so go figure.

Now, if you want to talk about an odd smell -- WHen Hope is Not Enough (which I adore) smells like -- wait for it -- Coca-Cola. The smell disappears quickly, but it definitely smells like Coke when you put it on.

I have heard the most negative reviews about all of these products filled with too many fragrance and not organic or natural Do not lt "Purity "Fool you this is not pure read the ingredients the vendors never list them all the hype is the smell and bubbles well any soap on my loaffah produces tons of bubbles with just a few swipes of pure 100 % soap of any kind organic etc...

I really wanted to like Purity. I used it once and my face broke out in tiny bumps. I don't get acne, so I was so surprised. A few months later I thought I'd give it another try, same thing happened. So it's just me, I cannot use Purity. I agree with the person that said it smells like Ivory soap; scent didn't bother me at all though.

I had the same experience! After hearing everyone RAVE over how wonderful Purity is and how instantly it removed even stubborn makeup, I purchased a MASSIVE bottle with the Microdelivery exfolianting cleanser. It burned my eyes like crazy, did NOT come even close to removing my eye makeup, and left my face feeling irritated, tight, and completely stripped. So I passed it off to my two teenagers who both have acne-prone skin, lol. It did basically the same thing for them and one actually experienced a minor breakout afterwards. The Microdelivery stuff seems "okay". I'm happy for all those Purity fanatics that can use it, but like anything else, it just isn't for EVERYONE. It doesn't seem to bother my dogs and does a decent job cleaning my makeup brushes, although I'd be using something else if I wasn't stuck with this enormous bottle lol.
