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...
Most Helpful Critical Review
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...

Great for combo acne issues!
I have a combo of facial issues (cystic hormonal acnce, black & white heads, plus oily skin). This product really helps keep my acne in CHECK and my skin BALANCEd :)
New formula
Ive been using this product for the last year. Just purchased a new bottle. New ingredient causes SEVERE burning if it gets in your eyes. This was NOT happening before. I very hesitantly recommend. A little goes a long way but the severe burning may not be worth it if you cant keep it away from your eyes.
BURNS THE EYES
Oh my gosh this burns the eyes so bad! I accidentally flipped my washcloth around and got it in both eyes and it felt like a chemical burn and I'm sitting here 2 hours later still burning and I did flush my eyes immediately because it hurts so bad
Not that Great
Yes, a lil goes a long way, but this product leaves my skin super dry considering inhave oily skin. Keep in mind this product doesn't remove makeup, its just a cleanser not sure what its suppose to balance
Definite a repeat purchase
I've been using the Origins Checks and Balances Gentle Foaming Face Wash, and it's been such a good match for my combination skin. What I love most is that it's plant-derived, so it feels clean and refreshing without being harsh. It contains glycerin, which keeps my skin soft and hydrated instead of that tight, dry feeling after washing. Even though it's super gentle, it does an amazing job at removing makeup and impurities effortlessly—my skin feels fresh, balanced, and actually clean. Since I'm someone who prefers double cleansing, I really appreciate that this face wash doesn't strip away my skin's natural moistureI received this product for free from Origins for testing and review purposes.
