Not a good make-up remover
Sadly, this is not a very good make-up remover. It won't even take off regular mascara properly. Additionally, I used the tinted moisturizer and it doesn't completely remove that either. I was hoping this would melt away my mascara as Origins says it will, but it doesn't. I contacted Origins to ge...

This review was incentivized. I received this product as a gift. I've been using the Checks and Balances Milky Oil Cleanser + Makeup Melter from Origins, and it exceeded my expectations. It starts off as a lightweight oil and transforms into a milky texture that removes makeup effortlessly. Even my long-wear foundation and waterproof mascara came off without needing to scrub. My skin feels clean, soft, and balanced after each use—not tight or greasy. I have combination skin, and this worked well across both my oily and dry areas. I also appreciate that it's fragrance-free and didn't irritate my eyes. This cleanser is now a go-to in my nightly routine. It's effective, gentle, and leaves my skin feeling refreshed and hydrated. Highly recommend if you're looking for something that simplifies your double cleanse without compromising on results.
Cleans well!

I recently changed my foundation and although I love it, it's impossible to remove! Checks and Balances to the rescue! I love Milky Oily Face Cleanser + Makeup Melter. Not only is it gentle and feels good on my skin, but it leaves nothing behind! All my makeup up is completely removed, even mascara, with little effort. My skin feels so clean! A great product and so appreciate that it's vegan.
Removes all makeup and skincare from the day!

This is a really nice makeup remover! It has a dual formula that just needs to be shaken up and it literally melts all my makeup and skincare from the day without leaving a greasy residue. I use it as the first step in a double cleansing routine daily and before a cleanser when I'm wearing makeup. It even removes waterproof mascara effortlessly with a cotton pad. Highly recommend!
So cool

In just a few pumps, this lightweight, bi‑phase formula melts away 12 hour‑wear makeup—even stubborn eyelash glue—without irritation, thanks to rice and almond oils plus squalane . After rinsing, skin feels hydrated, bouncy, and oh‑so-soft—never stripped. It transforms into a soothing milk for a clean, radiant finish. A gentle powerhouse cleansing experience!
