## Description

desertcart.com: Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash | Gentle Face Cleanser for All Skin Types | With Mint, 5 Fl Oz : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: No joke.. Check and Balances gets me out of bed in the morning, I cannot wait to wash my face each day because of this product. - I am 34 year old guy and was turned on to Origins products by my best friend when I was 22. She worked at an Origns store and was appalled at the time to learn that I was using Zest (bar soap) to wash my face. After using many Origins products religiously for the last 12 years, Checks and Balances remains one of my top 5 skin care essentials. Everything about it is pure heaven. The scent, the texture, the feel of your skin after use. It's a treat to use it each morning. I have combination skin and this product delivers exactly what it claims. It strips away the unnecessary oils and dirt from my face and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or parched. I can attest after for than a decade of use that it really does protect your skin from all the free radicals bombarding it each day. It keeps my complexion clear and has played a large part in my youthful appearance. Many Origins products have a fruity scent to them and while Checks and Balances has a spearmint type scent it is clean and masculine and doesn't linger after you've washed your face. It has this amazing frothy/foaming action that allows you to use a small pea sized amount that, after water is added, transforms that small amount into enough frothy/foamy product to wash my face, my entire neck (guys you'll LOVE using this before you shave as it sooths and cleanses so well you can kiss razor burn goodbye), and even enough to wash my pecs and shoulders. I start at my forehead and work my way down and being 6'6" tall its usually is enough to wash my shouders and chest in addition to my face and neck ( if you're shorter it may very be enough to cleanse you from the waist up). This makes the price an amazing deal. Yes you spend on average $20-30 for the large tube, depending on where you purchase it however, the large tube will last more than 6 months and its a high quality product. As I've gotten older, out of curiosity I have tried other products from Dior, Kiehl's, Lancôme, and even lower end products like Burt's Bees, Olay Regenerist,and Aveeno to see if there was anything out there that I might be "missing". Nope...Check and Balances is the real deal. I will never stop using this product unless they stop making it, or I pass on. I seriously reccomend it to everyone who tells me I look so young for my age or asks what sort of products I use. I give co workers samples because I am so satisfied and in love with the product. If you're curious, but hesitant to spend the money on it I strongly suggest going to an Origins store, or a retailer who carries Origins products (Nordstrom, Macy's, Sephora) and ask for a sample. You will fall in love the first time you use it and will be running back to the store to buy it. It's that good, and in 10 years you'll thank me. (I know this is supposed to be a review for Checks and Balances only..but I reccomend almost every Origins products..they absolutely amazing!)
Review: Great face cleanser! - Love this frothy facial cleanser! A pea sized dot makes a ton of refreshing lather. My skin felt clean, soft, and not dried out like some cleansers. It also easily removes makeup. Barely noticeable fragrance. I don’t like fragrance on my face.
