Does this remove all makeup?
- Asked by Sue
- Official Answer By Origins US ENThank you for your question! Origins Checks and Balances dissolves impurities and makeup for a creamy, refreshing wash. For longer-wearing makeup like waterproof mascara and lipsticks, we suggest a double-cleanse using Origins Checks and Balances Milky Oil first to melt away makeup. Then, follow with Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash for a makeup free finish!Was this answer helpful to you

Checks & Balances Frothy Face Wash
I began using Checks & Balances Frothy Face Wash I guess when it first came on the market! It is a wonderful product that cleanes off all make up and leaves my face feeling soft and thoroughly cleaned. A few months ago I failed to reorder this product when I ran out of it, so I bought a national bra...

I'm in the minority but... DRYING!
I've been perpetually perplexed at how others rave on this face wash. I've tried it now a handful of times, each time far from the previous, wondering if the prior were just anomalies. But sure enough every use feels like I'm stripping my skin of all moisture and leaves it in a horribly dry, uncomfo...

Fantastic!!
My mother-in-law had gotten me some samples from the Estee Lauder company, and they gave her the frothy face wash and the face scrub from Origins. They're both great!! I have bumpy/combination oily skin with lots of dirt that builds up on my nose and chin. In minutes, this CLEARS EVERYTHINGGGGGG. I message it everywhere on my face and it leaves me squeaky clean without drying or stripping my skin, I love it!
Zero Complaints
It was very surprising how wonderfully this worked and cleaned my face. I work with animals a lot, so my face gets a beating with dirt. This has been safe to use twice daily and my skin appreciates it. I use it in combination woth glow recipe moisturizing products.

Just Ok; Not Special
It was just ok. Not special enough for me to buy again.
Perfect
I have combination oily skin. This is just what I need and want for a daily face wash. My skin doesn't feel tight or stripped after using, just clean and refreshed. I love the subtle minty feeling of this, and it foams up really well. A little goes a long way - I only use a pea sized amount - and Ive had my current tube for over a year now, so that makes the price worth it to me. I don't wear makeup often, so I dont have much experience to share about that, but if I were to wear heavier/longwearing makeup, I'd probably use this as a second cleanse after an oil cleanser. Will definitely repurchase.
