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...

LUV THIS
I WAS SURPRISED WHEN I USED THIS. DIDNT TURN MY FACE RED, LIKE MOST CLEANSERS. I WOULD RECOMMEND. FACE FEELS AND LOOKS CLEAN. PART OF MY ROUTINE NOW
Love how clean my skin feels!
This is a GREAT all-in-one makeup remover and cleanser.
Ruined my skin
I've been using this for several years, so you might ask: how do I know it ruined my skin? Because I finally started learning more about skincare to try to fix my combination skin that turned red and acne-ridden a few years ago. Myristic acid (the second ingredient!) is highly comedogenic. Limonene and linalool have no skin benefits and are highly sensitizing. And all of the essential oils (lavender, mint, geranium, and bergamot) are terrible for skin, particularly the bergamot which actually increases photosensitivity! So I stopped using this a week and a half ago and now I have like areas of pink skin and 10 flat healing zits, instead of red skin and a carpet of angry zits. You should too.
an inch for a mile product
look. i dont think im in a cult. but if the Origins Balance Face & Cheek wash has no fans its bc I'm dead. I LOVE this face wash. I literally only buy travel sizes and it will last me up to 8-9 months. A little goes a long way. It used to have a nice little herbal or minty scent but leans more unscented now. I still love the gentle lather without being overly stripping.
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 :)
