You don't need those high-dollar cleansers to get your face clean.  Many excellent brands at the drugstore:  CeraVe, Neutrogena, Olay, Pond's, Abolene.... just to name a few.  Purity never removed all my makeup, burned my eyes, and made me break out (since you asked for our opinions).

I read some posts here about Purity being bad for the complexion causing damage. So I threw out my Purity that I had used for more than ten years and tried about ten different cleansers both drug store and high end and every one of them left me red and irritated. I also tried two from Paula's Choice and they were even worse than the others.

 

I went back to Purity and my skin is no longer irritated and red. I won't switch again.

I use CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser. It's not drying and it gets my face clean for a decent price. I have never been happy to see my money go down the drain...literally.

@erichu,   Neither.  Cetaphil at the drugstore which is Dermatologist tested.

I found Purity to be quite drying and irritating to my skin.
