    This is okay, except on the contrary of its claims.. it leaves me with some really dry skin in between my eyes and on my cheeks too.. it also burns my eyes and it tastes nasty if it gets on your...

    It's an adequate cleanser - it is very foamy and smells nice, but it doesn't clean as thoroughly as I would like.

    I love this cleanser, it foams well and smells great. There was no drying feeling after use. It is great for those with combination skin type.

    GREAT face wash. Makes my face feel clean and fresh. I have combo/oily skin and this is the BEST facewash that I've found for my skin.

    An absolute HG cleanser for my combo-to-oily skin! Can't get enough of this stuff!! This has tamed my oily spots but hasn't left my normal areas too dry. It has a wonderful minty scent. It's a bit...

    I use Origins Never A Dull Moment and adore it, but I wanted to give Checks & Balances a try...I got bored with my usual routine and decided to try something new, but still in the Origins line. ...

    Did not like this face wash, as it left my combination skin feeling quite tight. Will not purchase again.

    You don't need a lot of this stuff to get some serious foam! I don't think it did a great job of cleaning my face. It seemed like it left a slight filmy residue on my skin. It left that same...

    This could have been a great face wash, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Some of the essential oils contained in Checks and Balances are harmful to the skin, even if no irritation is...

    I've been using this for a couple of years now. Not exclusively, but often. It only takes a teensy bit so it can last forever. I think the breakout problem others have had are the essential...

    I got a full size tube free with a coupon from Origins. I like the way it foams. My face felt clean and I enjoyed using it. I don't know if I'd buy it again, because it's on the pricey side....

    I really like the smell of this stuff but, after 3 days of using it, my left cheek completely broke out. As soon as I stopped using it my face cleared up. Definitley will NEVER use this again!

    This is pretty good for my combination skin. Only the tiniest bit needed to produce lots of foam - use more and it can be hard to rinse off. Slightly minty smell. Gives my skin a 'squeaky clean'...

    Dry dry dry! It leaves my normal to dry skin very tight. It maybe good for those with oilier skin. Like the texture anyway.
