Review of Johnson & Johnson Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash

Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash

I have enjoyed using Purpose products since my adolescence. I started using this product back in my teens, when acne was a huge concern for me. My dermatologist prescribed Retin-A for my facial acne. Retin-A is a retinoid which can leave the skin raw and irritated. I needed a skin cleansing product that would not exacerbate the irritation and redness in my skin. My dermatologist recommended Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash for me because it is very gentle on the skin. Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash is not oily and it is not pore clogging. It cleanses the skin without removing the natural oils from it, leaving it soft. Since then, I am hooked on the product and mainly use it first thing in the morning.


Purpose face wash comes in a rigid, transparent, bottle with a pump dispenser. It is available in 6 fl. oz. and 12fl. oz. size bottles. You can clearly see that the face wash is a clear, colorless soap, with a semi-liquid consistency. It is light weight, non-greasy and works well for cleaning your face with your hands or a buff puff. Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash has a very slight, pleasant odor and forms a nice lather during use. It rinses away fairly easily, without any residue, leaving your skin with a clean feel to it. You can apply any moisturizers, sunscreens, or make-up, without interference from the Purpose Gentle Cleansing wash.

This product can be purchased at grocery stores, mass market retailers, drug stores, or online. Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash will cost you about $6.00 for a 6.0 fl. oz. bottle. It lasts me about 4-6 weeks, depending upon how often I use it. The Purpose brand includes a Gentle Cleansing Bar and a noncomedogenic Dual Treatment Moisture lotion with SPF 15. It is designed for use on the face, neck and body. I think that it is well worth the price and is a good value for the money.

I have nothing bad to say about this product. I can't really say much about the product's ability to remove makeup, because I usually don't wear makeup. When I do wear makeup, I use wipes to remove it. The only critique that I have is in the packaging. I would be pleased if the product were also offered in a bottle with a flip-cap on it. I think this is better for controlling leaks and spills. This would also allow people to carry the bottle with them on the go. One time, my bottle of Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash leaked from the dispenser cap. I am not sure how it happened, because the dispenser was fastened securely and there weren‘t any cracks. Anyways, it's a great product, and it is highly recommended.
