Purity Made Simple

Double-D · ‎03-31-2010

Is it just my imagination, or has Purity Made Simple by Philosophy changed? I haven't used it in awhile but recently purchased a special value & it just doesn't seem the same. I thought it was thicker!!

I also thought the Purity formula changed. It used to be a little darker yellowish color, thicker and sounds weird -but tastes different. I always seemed to gets some on my lips and must not have rinsed well. Felt I needed to explain that one. I don't think it's as effective as it use to be but still good.

Things have changed since the company was sold several years ago. The ffragrances are so watered down I stopped buying. And yes the Purity is not the same anymore.

I had used it years ago and thought it was great. Between one special deal and today's special values that all contained a cleanser hadn't bought it in quite a while. Ordered it last year from the Q. For the first time ever my eyes burned and watered. I still usef it but had to be very careful to keep away from my eyes. [large size, of course] I was disappointed.

I don't care for the chemicals used in Philosophy so my last purchase of a bath gel is my last.

Tried it a long long time ago without success, really irritating to my skin. After assessing the ingredients I felt that there were far better cleansers with more modern technology out there for less cost than Purity. I choose to spend less money on cleanser and sink my dollars into skin care. I found that CeraVe works far better for cleansing and it is easier on the wallet.

Does anyone break out using this? I am 78 and never had skin problems .now I am getting huge blind pimples. I think it may be the Philosophy.

I just opened a 32 oz bottle that I had purchased and stocked in my linen closet. When I opened it, I noticed it was very white. Then when I used it, it was very thick, smelled like their Fresh Cream product, difficult to rinse, and stung my eyes. They will not exchange because I've had it too long - so it will go in the shower. I truly feel the wrong product was put in the container. From now on I will check what I buy immediately. I'm not a happy customer.

@aggravated Many years ago, maybe before the company was sold, I began to notice it burned my eyes. The bigger test for me was trying a toner (alcohol free) afterwards and seeing traces of makeup left on my skin. That’s when I went back to my cleansing oil at night and Cetaphil in the mornings.

I saw a difference since Purity was sold a few years ago. I switched to a facial cleanser from Dr. Denese and the Joe Campenelli facial cloths. I'm so glad I did. It seems that's the first thing the big corporations due after the buy out is weaken the formulas. It's business and it's a shame.
