Philosophy Purity Made Simple Users~question...

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.

I remove my makeup first with a cleansing wipe. Then I use Purity to wash my face. Squeaky clean & soft!!

I use a makeup wipe on my eyes, then use Purity with facial microfiber washcloth or complexion brush to finish cleansing. I don't rub hard on my face.

@amyb ...You are correct - it doesn't take my eye makeup off. When I use it, I have to put the 'Purity' on one of those make-up remover cloths. Then it works ok.

I have used Burts Bees baby shampoo to remove my eye makeup for years (over 10) have tried others but nothing beats it. Just a tiny dab with warm water and it all comes off so easy, no rubbing, if I use waterproof I let it sit on my eyes (while closed of course) for about 20 seconds and then use the warm water, it has never disappointed me. The other plus is, at almost 50, I still have great lashes, I think this method has helped, no tugging

I think the key to taking off your eye make up (and all makeup) with Purity is to use a wash cloth, like they do on tv. Since PMS does not sting your eyes, you can wiz it around your eyes and wipe with a damp cloth. Not just splashing your face with water. You need the rubbing

I used PMS for many years and just recently switched to Cetaphi,

@amyb I fell for that line. It did not take off waterproof mascara It just flakes, Only thing that took off my mascara is Sephora waterproof makeup remover.

i'll tell you my purity story, just like everyone I saw it so many times that I finally bought the 32 ounce special because it had a pump and I thought it would last forever.

I never got used to the smell; people said it smelled like Ivory soap I was so unhappy that I spent so much money for something that I just didn't like the smell and how hard it was to rinse off. You will never believe what I used it for, cleaning my sink and tub. I just couldn't bring myself to throw away so much product. It worked good on the sink and tub.

I'm surprised. I used Purity for years and didn't have a problem with eye makeup removal. It was one of the reasons that I stuck with it so long. Once in a while I had to do a second wash for Molly's eye liner but not always.
