I've been a die-hard Purity user for years but lately my face feels stripped after using it. But I continued to use it because it took EVERYTHING off. I tried a couple of Isomers cleansers and they all left so much makeup on my face. For the last few nights I've used Paula's Choice Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser. I wouldn't say it foams, but it did take off my full face of makeup and left my skin soft. I've been trying several PC samples over the last couple of weeks (serums, moisturizers, BHA) and I'm quite pleased. I haven't noticed much difference in the color or improvement in spots, but my pores are notably smaller and my skin is soooo smooth! Thanks to all of you who have recommended PC!
