    Cleans your face fine. Has a scent like spa products. It's kind of expensive. However, I have very oily skin and this literally leaves me with no oil on my face. I can only imagine how it must dry...

    This is a decent face wash. I just finished the 5fl oz, which lasts a long time because a little goes a long way. It spreads so quickly and lathers up nicely. Rinses clean, but the closer I got to...

    So I really like this cleanser because it really does remove my makeup. It doesn't remove all of my mascara but i haven't found a cleanser that does so that is a non-issue for me. My...

    As someone with normal skin (neither too dry or too oily, or acne-prone), Origins Checks & Balances is one product I treat myself to frequently. I found that all you need is a small dot amount,...

    This does smell nice and is inexpensive since you only need a very small amount. However, that is the only good thing I can say about it. I am in my 50's with dry skin and this made my face break...

    History: for transparency, I love Origins and worked for the line! But I am doing this objectively. I love the smell and texture of this creamy, non-greasy formula. It definitely is not creamy...

    As others have noted, this gets your skin "squeaky clean." If you're oily, or if you have a thicker layer of makeup, sweat, etc. that you're trying to remove, it might be good, but for my dry skin...

    Great cleanser for combo skin. I love how it foams up and the scent is amazing! Something that I love is the fact that it rinses of your face so quickly (because of the Tourmaline, I believe)!...

    This is very creamy and has a minty smell. It washes ALL of my makeup off. It can leave my skin a little dry in areas, but I have combination skin that leans a little more dry than oily. My problem...

    While it is very creamy and does get all my makeup off, perfect for sensitive skin, I found it to be very drying and I used a drop. Left my skin dehydrated and I had to load up the moisturizer.
