@Bhvbum I can't stand the smell Of it! Bleck! :-P

It works ok, but the smell is awful!

The point is they shouldn't promote something it cannot do.

Does it actually take your makeup off when you use it as they constantly promote?

Because I've used it for over a decade. I do like the product, because it doesn't dry out my skin, and feels clean. Best wash I've used on my face for non-drying.

But...try as I might, with a washcloth, scrubbing...it has NEVER taken off my eyemakeup. I always still have black all around my eyes. Even after two wash/rinses.
I would love it it did, as I'd just as soon have to use one less product...but doesn't work for me.

I just wondered if it did for any of you?

My mascara is not waterproof either.

Everytime I watch one of their presentations, where they promote the heck out of the fact that "it takes your makeup off" ...I can't help feel "they doth promote too much"...and it's just not the case.

@amyb When I used Purity many years ago, it didn't remove my eye makeup w/o too much scrubbing...not great for that delicate skin. I suggest an eye makeup remover first which defeats a "one and done" product. I also found it left my skin too squeaky clean. As I said in another post in the last few days, if skin or hair is squeaky clean, it's too clean...most likely stripped of too much natural oils. Check the bottle and unless the formula has changed, it has sulfates...quite a drying ingredient.

No this product didn't remove my make-up. I used to use this and thought it removed everything. That was until one night I decided to use a toner and was shocked at how filthy my cottonball was. I finished up what I had and moved on.

I love Purity and have used it for years but not on my eyes.....no way.

I have used Purity for years and realized something is wrong if I need to use a scrubber or washcloth to remove all makeup!!

It's obviously not getting into my pores either for deep down cleansing. There's others that do a betting job at removing everything.

@amyb

Totally agree with you.

Has NEVER made a dent in my eye makeup and I don't wear waterproof anything!

It does a great job on my facial makeup. I dampen my face use my hands to apply and rotate around and then use a wash cloth.

On my eyes, I must use a liquid eye makeup remover.

Same thing for IT balm. Great on the face, but no way on my eyes. I saw goo for 2 days! LOL

Exactly, @RespectLife . Me too. Exactly same.

To all the responses..thank you~ I DO use liquid eye makeup remover, always. But that's why I was asking if I'm the only one that found that was still needed with Purity made simple.

To the one that said use a wash cloth...I've tried that...putting it on the wash cloth, gently washing my eyes...and doing it twice...still need liquid remover to remove the smeared black mascara left behind. No matter how I tried.

And to someone who said squeeky clean is not good etc...I find Purity to be gentle, and wash my face makeup off nicely, and my skin never feels stripped or dry. That is why I've used it for over a decade and still do. My only reason for posting this was to respond to all their "promoting" of the "no need for eye makeup remover, takes it all off!" I find to be misleading, as I don't believe it does that for anyone. Although...lol...they somehow do it in the presentations!

Thanks again all who responded.
