I'm having a reaction to Purity Made Simple.  How is this possible?

When I used it the first time, I felt a slight sensation/irritation but dismissed it thinking it's a new product and my skin hasn't felt it before.

Used it again and I have to say, I'm going to return it.

I have reacted to purity too. I think I had a problem with the essential oils.

I was also not able to use the Purity cleanser.  It felt great at first but made me break out.

I use to use Purity for some time. I am 50 years old and stopped using it about 2+ years ago. My face became dry and irritated when I used Purity. It was almost as if it sucked out all the good oil and moisture from my face. Because of this I would have small breakouts. I have used Cerave (not sure I am spelling correctly) and Aveeno Simply Ageless cleanser. I have had no issues since.

I've been a Noxema user since I was 14 years old...I'm now 54.  I've always loved it for removing makeup and why switch to something else when you feel you have a good thing going? 

All the hype from Philosophy about Purity Made Simple made me curious.  So, I ordered the TSV from months ago that offered the Skin Tint makeup (which I love), Purity Made Simple, Hope in a Jar nighttime moisturizer, and a skin highlighter.  I am on auto delivery so received two shipments to date.  I tried the Purity and had some redness, but nothing major.  I chalked it up to trying something new and figured it would go away once my skin adjusted...but it never did!   So now I have an almost full bottle of Purity and one waiting in the wings from my latest auto delivery shipment.  I was thinking I could gift the unopened one to someone for Christmas, but I'd hate to give them the gift of irritated skin!

@pommom,   I stopped using over 2 years ago.  It would irritate my eyes and burn so you are not alone.  Give Cetaphil gentle cleanser a try which is in drugstores.  Dermatologist tested.

It made my son break out horribly after tryihg it for a few days.  Stopped using it and his face cleared up.  Nothing else has caused this reaction, so it is not that he has sensitive skin.  I believe that there is an ingredient in it now that can do this.  This topic was discussed awhile ago on this forum and someone had the information..

If you can't use it on your face it makes a good make up brush cleaner. Wet the brush and work the purity in.

Purity works well on my face but sometimes it leaves some make up in and around my nose so I have to work at it a bit...but no irritation.

@pommom I am not a big fan of Philosophy in general.  I also have a large botte to use up.   What I;ve been doing is using it for my at home pedicures.  It seems like your feet can take a lot more cleansers than the sensitive skin on your face.  I've not had any problems, I hate to waste any product, especially at the expensive prices they are.  Live and learn.

There are ingredients on that cleanser that are known irritants.  I personally never saw a negative reaction on my skin but it didn't do a good job at removing my make-up at all.
