    I love this cleanser for summer when my normally normal to dry skin can feel a little oily. Just a small amount turns into a wonderful foam and you truly feel clean.

    This made my skin feel very tight after I used it, and I found it very drying. Definitely would not buy it again.

    The pros: It's very foamy and creamy so you only need dab for each wash. Rather nice minty smell. Cons: It left my combination skin a little tight and with this strange filmy feeling over it. I'm...

    If you've read my other reviews, you know how important smells are to me. This one is really delicious. It's fresh and natural, without being cloying or lingering on my face. The quality of the...

    This is so much better than the Origins mint wash I was using before and seems to be more suitable to my combination skin. It foams well (which I love), the smell is pleasant and it does not leave...

    I did not like this cleanser at all. It dried out my oily skin and did not remove makeup completely. I'm going to return it soon.

    My new holy grail of cleansers. As i moved into my 30s my beloved mint wash became too harsh. But i missed the bubbly refeshment until they came out wiht Check and Balances. A little foams a TON...

    I used this for a very long time until I discovered Prescriptives All Clean for normal skin. I have very combination skin and it balances my skin much better than Checks and Balances.

    I really did not like this product and I really gave it a chance too. Sure it cleaned off surface makeup but all it did was dry out the top layer of my skin and cause flakes with clogged pores...

    You only need to use a tiny amount--this stuff is thick! Overall a great cleanser that took off my makeup and excess oil, but did not dry out my face.
