I was looking for a regimen change. Why? I'm not sure, except that I thought there might be something even better than the Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash I've been using for years. I bought the four-pack of Basis based on the high ratings from other users. At first it was okay, though I found the smell overpowering, but soon my skin became noticeably worse. After a couple of weeks, I had to quit. My skin was drier than before and I had gone from few and rare pimples to all-the-time breakouts. I'm disappointed. Should have stuck with the Purpose.
