gently removes dirt, makeup, and impurities while helping refresh and balance the skin. Its formula feels lightweight and rinse-off cleanly, leaving skin feeling fresh without tightness or dryness. The spirulina helps promote a healthy-looking complexion, making it suitable for normal to combination skin. No irritation.

Caused the worst breakouts ever
Received as a gift for Christmas. Gave it to my daughter. Within three days, her face exploded. It was the worst breakout she'd ever had - 20+ blemishes just on her forehead. Immediately stopped using this product and are working to clear up her skin (allergic reaction perhaps). She is healing. I don't know what's in this, but she had a severe reaction to this cleanser. It's also VERY runny, almost like water. Disappointing because we love Philosophy products, just NOT this one.

clean and fresh, not tight
I’ve been using this cleansers for a while and overall I like it. It feels gentle on my skin and removes makeup and dirt pretty well without leaving my face dry. After washing, my skin feels clean and fresh, not tight.

A great multi use cleanser
I LOVE this cleanser!! I've always used the original one but this one has a better lather. I use this product to clean all my makeup brushes as well and they leave them so clean and soft! My skin is clean and the brushes I use to put makeup on are ultra clean!

The Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleanser with Spirulina Extract is such a reliable everyday cleanser. It removes makeup, sunscreen, and impurities so easily while still feeling super gentle on the skin. I love that it deeply cleanses my pores without leaving my face dry or tight. The texture is smooth and creamy, and it leaves my skin feeling fresh, soft, and lightly hydrated after washing. I also like that it has spirulina extract, which makes it feel a bit more nourishing than a typical cleanser. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a simple, effective, and soothing cleanser — definitely a staple in my skincare routine .

So cleansing
I use this on and off for washing my face, honestly don't know why I don't use it more often. This makes my face feel squeaky clean and so refreshed feeling. Such a refreshing clean scent. I really like this facial cleanser.
