Purpose Bar Soap By numero9 on Nov 05, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Purpose is a mild bar soap made by Johnson and Johnson's. It is especially good if you suffer from bad skin, as it is incredibly mild and does the job of getting yourself clean. Furthermore, Purpose won't dry you out because it does not contain any active ingredients like many acne-fighting soaps do. That means, you can apply other products afterwards. Purpose has a citrus scent that I find more pleasant than their main competitor in the mild soap department, Cetaphil. I would recommend Purpose for anyone who needs a mild soap just for their face, or even their entire body. While the bar is a bit clunky for washing in the shower, you can easily make a considerable lather for use with a loofa or washcloth.
