Fresh or Philosophy Face Cleanser

[CassK520]

I'm looking for a mild yet able to remove light make up cleanser. I have sensitive acne prone skin. I heard a lot about Fresh and Philosophy but I can't decide which one is better. Thanks

They're both good! I don't think I've ever felt dry after using Purity. I wouldn't say Fresh Soy Cleanser is drying but I think I feel less dry after using Purity. I also think Purity does a better job of removing makeup (if you were only using one cleanser). I actually use Fresh in the morning and Purity at night. So, both good options!

@CassK520 I've read that Purity is overhyped; it only got 1/5 stars on beautypedia.com.  Fresh seems to be the better option, having gotten 4/5 stars.  I have a sample of it, and will definitely try it.  Here's what beautypedia had to say about it:

This very fragrant cleanser is based around rose water, which is little more than eau de cologne and potentially irritating, though the risk isn’t too great in a rinse-off product like this one is. This is otherwise a fairly gentle water-soluble cleanser for normal to dry skin. The small amount of soy makes it hardly worth including it as part of the name, but it’s of little consequence anyway in this product because the soy is just rinsed down the drain before it can have any benefit. And the price, puh-lease, get real, there is absolutely nothing in this product that isn’t easily replaced (and improved upon) by far less expensive cleansers available at the drugstore, from CeraVe, Olay, or Neutrogena.

The Fresh Soy cleanser and Philosophy Purity are both very popular products because they're both good honestly. I have a preference for the Purity because I feel like it rinses a little cleaner and I don't really care for the scent of the Soy. Performance-wise, they're both good cleansers.
