    This has really been a good cleanser thus far for me. I have a super oily t-zone and I'm normal every where else. Most cleansers I've used have been for oily skin and they end up making my skin...

    Checks and balances is a great cleanser for combo skin - my skin was never too oil or dry with it. I love the way it foams and rinses clean - works great with the clarisonic! However, I probably...

    This stuff is horrible. Way too heavy on the detergents. Claims to be gentle but it stripped my face dry leaving my skin completely parched which no amount of moisturizer could repair. Face...

    This is Origins #1 cleanser, according to the SA, but it is not mine. I like the fact that it is creamy, foamy and cushiony, but after I'm done washing my face, I feel as if my skin is squeaky,...

    The smell is soothing with a hint of lemon. Foamy but not as harsh as other foamy cleansers, which is why it's called Checks and Balances. Reminds me of the Shiseido Pureness cleanser.

    Where to begin with this cleanser...It sounded so promising, but I didn't like it at all for my combination skin. It was not frothy; it did not clean off makeup; it did not discourage oil...

    This could easily WOW the right skin type and person. It is very refreshing. It only takes a teeny tiny bit to lather into a full thick face covering (if you wet your face first). It rinses off...
