Why add yellow 5???
Why aim for a clean product and then ruin it by adding yellow 5??? I’m disappointed as I spent so much money (I bought the biggest size) only to find out it had that junk in it.

Clean without overdrying
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This one-step cleanser is a gentle way to wash your face without redness or irritation. It does a great job of thoroughly washing away dirt, sunscreen, and oil without overdrying. It has a soft scent that isnt overwhelming or overpowering. It produces a thick lather to ensure you can scrub away impurities easily.

Great every day cleanser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the gel/cream consistency of this Philosophy One Step Facial Cleanser. It has a pleasant, slightly herbal scent that I really like.
This applies easily and lathered well when applying to a wet face. It rinsed off easily with water.
This cleansed my face gently, whilst removing dirt and the makeup I had on. My face felt clean and not dry or tight after using this.
This will be well used as it will work well for the shower with the flip lid.
I received for free in exchange for my honest opinion.

Great cleanser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical about trying this Philosophy Purity One-Step Facial Cleanser, but I was surprised at how good it was. It deeply cleaned my face, removing sunscreen, without drying my skin.

Moisturizing Facial Cleanser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this Philosophy facial cleanser. It smells wonderful and is very moisturizing. It almost had the consistency of lotion but it also lathers really well. My only complaint is that the bottle is inconvenient. A pump would be nicer.
