Love it
I've been using this Origins toner for about a week and I'm really impressed with how my skin has been looking and feeling. My skin feels smoother and more refreshed, and I've noticed that it doesn't get as oily throughout the day. My pores also appear more refined, and even some of the small white...

Smells nice, but I was hoping for more
I didn't notice much of an immediate difference in my pores after using this toner, but it was super easy to incorporate into my routine. It has a nice scent and is quick and convenient to use, even if I didn't see the results I was hoping for. I received this product for free from Origins for testi...

I have incorporated the Checks and Balances Daily Exfoliating Toner from Origins into my evening skincare regimen, following cleansing with the Origins Checks and Balances foam wash. I am highly satisfied with the product's performance. Its refreshing, lightweight texture absorbs rapidly, leaving no sticky residue. Within a few days of consistent use, I observed a noticeable improvement in skin smoothness and a more balanced complexion, particularly in the T-zone where oiliness is typically a concern. The clean, subtly minty fragrance is also a pleasant attribute, contributing to a more relaxing and refreshing skincare experience. My skin feels thoroughly clean and the mild fragrance promotes a sense of calm before sleep. Furthermore, I experienced no irritation despite having sensitive skin. This product was provided to me by Origins for testing and review purposes.

This product has quickly become a staple in my nighttime routine. It is lightweight and not at all sticky on the skin. After applying, I notice a glow to my skin that remains into the following morning. The light scent is relaxing and pairs well with my moisturizer. I received this product for free from Origins for testing and review purposes.
Love love love!

I've been using the CHECKS AND BALANCES™ Daily Exfoliating Toner from Origins both in the morning and at night after cleansing, and I honestly loved how it made my skin feel. It has a refreshing, lightweight texture that absorbs quickly without leaving any stickiness behind. After just a few days, my skin felt smoother and looked more balanced, especially around my T-zone where I usually get oily. I also really enjoyed the clean, slightly herbal scent—it feels spa-like and calming, which makes my skincare routine feel more relaxing. In the morning it helped my skin feel fresh and prepped for makeup, and at night it made my skin feel clean but not stripped. Overall, it gave me a nice gentle exfoliation that didn't irritate my skin.

It had a light herbal scent that faded pretty quickly, which I loved, kinda like using a potion to fight off excess oil. I used it both morning and night, and it felt super refreshing without any sticky feeling. Definitely felt my skin a lot smoother. For someone with a combo skin type this toner is a must, it helped keep the oil on my nose in check. I should also add I received this product for free from origins for testing and review purposes.
