Adding it to my skincare routine

Gave me a break out
It removed make up okay. It also did not get the grits out of my pores like a normal pol cleanser does. That i can forgive, but then it broke me out so bad on my nose and cheeks after 1 use. Not a fan.
nah
I don't like it. Glad I got it during a sale. Can't return not even sure if I will use it all or just throw it away
Doesn't remove makeup
This product just doesn't effectively remove makeup. Hard pass.
It's okay
I bought this because I like the Checks and Balances face wash. It works fine to take makeup off but I don't the bottle design or smell. I will use it up but will go back to DHC oil cleanser.

Ive semi recently gotten into oil cleansers and came by this the other day in store. On a whim i purchased it and ill be returning it. Ive used it day and night for a few days now and i can say im not impressed. Previously i was using Anuas cleansing oil and ill probably return to that bottle today. Origins is so thick it doesnt spread well. I had to reapply twice to get my makeup off and i dont use thick makeup. I dont wear foundation, aome light under eye from ilia, light mascara and some blush. But it would not get the mascara off. Makeuo removal for ouls is the easiest thing ive ever tried and the fact this took two times over was just ridiculous. Do not recommend, maybe if you just plan on using it in the morning since you dont typivally need heavy cleansing that time of day.
