Purpose Gentle Cleansing Bar, 6-Ounce Bars (Pack of 2)

I’ve used Purpose as my face soap for over 40 years. It was originally used in hospitals as a pre-op surgical soap - it’s that sanitary. Expensive but the big bars last a long time. It always made me feel super-clean but never dried out my skin.

Good stuff to buy.

Purpose is a glycerin cleansing bar, similar to Neutrogena...good for oily skin. However, I believe Purpose lasts longer. Upon using it with a Buff Puff, my face feels very clean. I then apply Neutrogena Toner followed by an eye cream and moisturizer.NOTE: If you wish to keep the bar in the shower for easy access, make sure you keep it in a soap container that closes tightly and does not pop open. Why? Because if allowed to sit even in a little bit of water, it will melt to a watery consistency. You can still pour the water mix onto a Buff Puff, however, I believe this lends itself to waste. Also, I would suggest cutting the bar in half...do not put the entire bar in a soap container...use one half at a time. I am 64 years of age, still have oily skin and not a wrinkle on my face. Have been using this product since my 20s.

Easy on the skin, lathers well, hypoallergenic, neither oily or drying, I’ve never found a better soap, er, “cleansing bar”. Nothing else is quite as good.

I have dry sensitive skin and this is great for me!I have been using this for years.

Many years ago I suddenly developed rashes on my face, ears, and hands. I went to my husband's dermatologist and he recommended this soap since I had developed a sensitivity to soaps, hair shampoo/conditioners, lotions, sunscreens, and cosmetics (even hypo-allergenic ones). All these products were causing me contact dermatitis. I had had isolated incidents in the past but at that point in time the condition became permanent. The dermatologist said I was a 1 in 10,000 person who is sensitive to hypo-allergenic products. Of all the products he tried on me, this soap and one other product were the only ones I could safely use. The other product was discontinued by its manufacturer about two years laterI have been using this soap for 23 years. I have never gotten a rash from it despite getting rashes from all kinds of other soaps, skin, and hair products. I carry this soap with me when I travel because the free soap in hotels and soaps at the homes of people I am visiting cause me dermatitis.The manufacture of this soap has stayed consistent since I started using it. It's important that people giving this a try for contact dermatitis problems know this. Unfortunately, I have never found any brand of skin lotion, sunscreen, shampoo, or cosmetics which I could consistently use without getting a rash so I do still have bouts of dermatitis caused by these other products. I KNOW, in each incident, what is causing the dermatitis because it is always when I have just started using a new bottle or bar or other container of a product...and invariably, the list of ingredients have changed or it is labelled "NEW and IMPROVED"!I applaud J&J for keeping it simple because I know I would be suffering without this soap.As he has aged, my husband has also developed skin rashes (not dermatitis but other types) and this soap is gentle enough to be non-irritating for his rashes too (other soaps cause them to worsen). He too uses and travels with this soap.This soap is hard to find at bricks & mortar grocery stores and drugstores. The ones that carry it often run out (we were near to running out recently and everywhere I went its space on the shelf was empty). It is NEVER on sale and rather expensive compared to the other bar soaps. The price on Amazon.com for a Prime member is better than I have ever seen elsewhere.BTW: Over the years, the list of things that cause me contact dermatitis has expanded to include latex gloves, latex medical equipment, laundry detergents, the adhesive on strip bandages, leather watch bands, plastic watch bands, some types of jewelry, the saps of many plants. The list just keeps growing (sigh).

I have rosacea and use this soap. I’m 65. Ever since my early 20’s my dermatologists have recommended this soap. Just don’t leave in water. They disenagrate fast

Great product, personal use

I have very sensitive acne prone skin (T zone) and it's very hard to find a product that works with my adult acne areas and doesn't dry out or irritate the rest of my skin - this is a face saver. I highly recommend this product.

This item is good for face usage. Glad that I am to purchase from overseas and receive on time

fast delivery! been using this product for years and it works well for me.

Fast delivery! I love this soap, it's great for acne and clearing up skin. I use it for my face and body. It's a bit expensive but it's worth it.
