So, at the start of last year I bought this big sample bag
from David Jones and in it was the Purity One-Step Cleanser. I put the bag in
my bottom makeup drawer, where I put all my samples to try and there it stayed
until about a month ago, when I ran out of my Nivea cleanser and was both too
cheap and too lazy to go out and find a new cleanser. All I knew was that I
didn’t want the Nivea one again, since it ended up being kind of blah. So I
rifled through my samples to find one that wasn’t bad and lo and behold, there
was this little bottle of the Purity cleanser.
THE GOOD:
I’ve been using this every day for a little over a month now
and I knew I loved it after just a few uses. It literally takes off all my
makeup! I’m so impressed. Before this I was still using up the Garnier milk
cleanser thingy I reviewed a while ago, which, even though it says that it’s
safe for eyes, stung like a mother on me. With this in mind, I was very
sceptical about the Purity cleanser not doing the same thing. Boy was I wrong!
It gets all my makeup off from my eyes and only stings if it touches my actual
eyeball (duh! And yep, that bloody stings!!). I was worried that this might
irritate my sensitive skin because I thought it might foam and make my skin
feel tight, but it doesn’t at all. My skin feels really clean without the
tightness, which is great. I get a lot of redness really easily with face
washes, and I am so happy that this doesn’t activate it. Another great thing
about this is that a little goes a long way. A few days after I started using
it I bought one of the small travel bottle of it to take away with me, which I
have seriously only used on that trip. Before my trip and when I got home I’ve
been using the little 30ml sample bottle and I still have some left. It’s crazy!
THE BAD:
I can’t think of a lot of bad things about this stuff. I
just love it so much and am so impressed with it. One thing that does bother me
a little when I use it is the strong scent. It’s not fragranced, but all the
ingredients create a string scent. It’s not a horrible scent, in fact it smells
nice, but when I cleanse over my nose and then try to breathe in it can be a
bit overwhelming. Apart from that I don’t have anything bad to say about it.
THE OVERALL:
Despite the somewhat overwhelming scent I think I have
finally found a great cleanser. I am so lazy when it comes to skincare. I hate
having a routine that includes more than two steps, so this is perfect. I can
cleanse and moisturise and be done with it. It’s pure heaven to such a lazy-bum
like me. I love that I only have one cleanser for getting my makeup off and
just simply cleansing (like in the morning, etc.). I love how long lasting the
product has proved to be and once my little travel-sized bottle is finally
started and finished I’ll invest in the bigger bottle. Even though it’s a
little pricier, it’s great value for money. I think Mecca Maxima sells the
massive bottle for about $46 and I can see that lasting for months and months.
After spending the better part of 2014 trying to find the best cleanser for my
skin, I’m so pleasantly surprised to find that it was sitting in my sample
drawer all year!
