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...

Holy grail
I have been using this cleanser for YEARS. Its the only one I've ever found that actually removes makeup but doesn't dry out and strip your skin. Please dont change this formula!
Oily skin approved
Works good but is best for people with oily skin. Removes dirt, oil, makeup and impurities. Makes skin feel really clean but beware of over use as it can be irritating and dry out your skin. Is best to be used a few times a week for a good cleaning and to alternate between products.
Not cruelty free
I used to love Origins products, especially this cleanser. When I found out that they in this day and age still participate in animal testing, I was done purchasing any of their products. You can do better Origins!
Great product Bad delivery
I love this face wash. It's expensive but you only need a little bit since it foams up well when water is added. Gets face clean and is gentle. However, i never received my last order from Ulta. My package was stolen by porch pirates! I even had a family member home when it was stolen, but the delivery service (BTS) that ulta uses doesn't ring the doorbell. They just drop off the package and take a picture. Im still shocked that a billion dollar company like Ulta uses such a cheap delivery service. Ulta is resending my package, but that wasn't too user friendly either. I asked if they could mail the new package to an Ulta store so I didn't have to worry about my package being stolen again but of course they couldnt do that! I also asked if Ulta could mail package with USPS and they wouldn't do that either. I used to be a frequent Ulta customer, but im going to start shopping elsewhere.
