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...

The only face wash I like.
This product cleans without making my skin feel tight and dry. It does foam nicely when used and smells slightly minty fresh to me. I usually use and prefer facial scrubs, but there are times I want something gentler. This is the best face wash I have tried.
Love The Look and Feel
This is my first time using this product and I love it already. I have sensitive skin and this doesn't irritate at all. A little goes a long way. You only need a drop, as per the directions, and it goes a really long way. It looks and smells great.
Best face wash product
No other face wash product lathers up like this one! A small amount goes a long way and lasts. Your skin will not feel dry afterwards either. Been using this for years but miss the old packaging because I could see when the wash was getting low.

I love how foamy this gets and the smell is smazing
Love frothy bubbly face wash
Really great keep buying it over and over. Not drying cleans gently really nice consistency.
