In my defense, I bought it in a holiday gift set on discount with not a single doubt in my mind that it would be just like any other face cleanser, and now here I am, endlessly searching for dupe.
I took to google and pinterest and started putting other's opinions to the test. I found a couple different products that people claim to be pretty close to my beloved Purity Made Simple.
I decided to try one product at a time and completely finish it before moving on and trying a new one.
First, I decided to try Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover. Sounds legit right?
Like, obvious dupe. Cleanser and makeup remover in one, duh!
....WRONG!
Now, I won't sit here and say it's a terrible product, it's really not. I'm just looking for a dupe for Purity and this isn't it.
The biggest difference is the dry feeling I'm left with after cleansing with the Neutrogena. Purity didn't moisturize my skin or anything, but it didn't leave my skin feeling dry and tight after cleansing.
Another difference is the power of the makeup remover. With Neutrogena, I'm left with raccoon eyes everytime. Never happened with Purity.
Other than that, This product doesn't really work well with my skin. Since I've started using it, I've had 2 pretty bad breakouts.
I was sort of spoiled to the clear skin I was having with Purity.
My verdict:
Purity Made Simple VS Neutrogena Naturals
NOT A DUPE
We'll see what the next product has in store.
