Makes your skin feel fabulous! - 11.23.09
Quick Take: gentle, natural

This is a great facewash! I have super sensitive skin and this is gentle enough for me to use every day. But it still does a great job cleansing and exfoliating. Your face feels SO great afterwards. I will definitely be trying the rest of the philosophy skincare line!

Quick Take: gentle, intensive, light

The beads are tiny and really get into the grooves and nookes (like around the nose). It doesn't really lather so I mix it with another face wash to get the lather + exfoliating effect. I use this about 3x/week.

Quick Take: gentle, perfect

I've been using this for about a week and LOVE it. I'm a true girl and love wearing make-up so it's great to have a face wash that exfoliates all the junk off and leaves my face ultra smooth. Do your face a favor and buy this stuff IMMEDIATELY!! xoNL

I love it - 11.21.09
Quick Take: gentle

My mother in law bought me this after she started using it. At first I was hesitant these products could deliver all she had promised. But was I strangely shocked to find out they did and more. This wash is gentle, however, seems to leave you with a fresh, soft, clean surface after using. I love it!

Good wash but wouldn't use daily - 11.21.09
Quick Take: gentle, almost natural, doesn't lather much

While I love exfoliating my skin I am not buying that this can be used daily. Yes, the grains are very small and gentle but you can't remove your eye makeup with this wash. I like low maintenance washes that work 2 in 1. I believe in exfoliating the face 2-3 a wk. tops. Kudos to Philosophy for keeping bad ingredients out. The price is right and I like this product but I prefer a heavy duty scrub to be used bi-weekly and a regular daily salicylic wash to exfoliate the skin and remove all makeup.

Quick Take: gentle

this is an okay product...I'm not very fond of the smell, but it does it's job so I guess that's all that matters! I love the Purity cleanser, but I'm on the fence with this one. It does exfoliate, and it is very gentle but I think I will try a different exfoliator next time.

JUST BUY IT!!! - 11.20.09
Quick Take: gentle, intensive

This product is popular for a reason. The exfoliating beads are very fine, and, because there are so many of them, the consistency is both light and rich at the same time. It leaves your skin looking like glowing satin. It even shrinks pores.

Good everyday exfoliant - 11.20.09
This exfoliant, made of small abrasive particles works well and doesnt seem to overstrip or irritate. The person who sold it to me suggested that I still use a separate cleanser, but sometimes in the morning I skip the cleansing step.

The Perfect Daily Facial Cleanser! - 11.19.09
Quick Take: gentle, effective

I can't live without this facial cleanser. My skin is sensitive and prone to peeling, yet also prone to breakouts. This wash gets my skin so clean and keeps my complexion bright and clear. I love the gentle exfoliating texture of it. I use it every morning in the shower. I have no complaints...I LOVE IT!

Irritating - 11.16.09
I used this in combination with Philosophy's Purity Made Simple face wash but the Microdelivery wash irritated my skin even though I do not have sensitive skin. It also caused me to breakout and it reddened my skin.

free gift - 11.15.09
Quick Take: gentle

The only problem I had was that I was intitled to a free gift that I recieved info from the website and was not given that gift. You had to spend a certain amount, and between me and my Mom's purchase (which I used my card) they would not give me my free gift. So this was very disappointing to me.

I've had problems with blackheads on my nose forever and every exfoliating wash I tried were too rough. This product is perfect!! I can use it at night and makes my skin CLEAN without the harsh scrubbing. I love it

Great exfoliating wash - 11.11.09
Quick Take: gentle, intensive

I have been using this for several months now, and am quite impressed with it. I use this whenever I shower each day, and can feel a noticeable difference now whenever I use it. Amazingly, my skin feels soft and smooth each time - I find that the more time I take to rub it in my skin, the better it feels after washing it off. The best part of the wash is that it is so gentle and lasts a long time. I still continue to use my other face washes and face care products, but it feels great each time I use it. It's something I look forward to each time I shower!

Great Stuff - 11.10.09
Quick Take: gentle, intensive

I have very sensitive skin and rosacea too. This is great. Doesn't irritate my skin at all. Just a little bit goes a long way. My face feels so smooth after I use it. Some times I mix it with a little bit of Purity. Since I have been using Philosophy products my face is looking so much better. My rosacea is not flaring up. Hardly any red left at all. I would recommend any of the Philosophy line. I haven't found anything that I didn't like.

fine beads are perfect! - 11.10.09
Quick Take: gentle

love the fresh soft skin after being exfoliated by these tiny beads. it doesn't leave your skin tight like Biotherm scrub does nor over-oiled like Clinique's 7-day scrub does. the beads are fine enough so is not too harsh like the St. Ive's. This is the best scrub so far. However, too bad it smells like the plastic container because it is unscented.
