- Q
Does this remove all makeup?
- Asked by Sue
- Official Answer By Origins US ENThank you for your question! Origins Checks and Balances dissolves impurities and makeup for a creamy, refreshing wash. For longer-wearing makeup like waterproof mascara and lipsticks, we suggest a double-cleanse using Origins Checks and Balances Milky Oil first to melt away makeup. Then, follow with Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash for a makeup free finish!Was this answer helpful to you

Checks & Balances Frothy Face Wash
I began using Checks & Balances Frothy Face Wash I guess when it first came on the market! It is a wonderful product that cleanes off all make up and leaves my face feeling soft and thoroughly cleaned. A few months ago I failed to reorder this product when I ran out of it, so I bought a national bra...

I'm in the minority but... DRYING!
I've been perpetually perplexed at how others rave on this face wash. I've tried it now a handful of times, each time far from the previous, wondering if the prior were just anomalies. But sure enough every use feels like I'm stripping my skin of all moisture and leaves it in a horribly dry, uncomfo...

Easy to Rinse Off
I love this face wash 1. Easier to rinse off than most other face washes at the sink 2. A tiny amount (somewhere between the size of a pencil top eraser and a toothpaste serving) will lather up generously and wash your entire face. 3. It removes all makeup (I don't have to go back around the outer part of my face or double wash) 4. If you are unsure of you skin type (oily - dry)-this should work for you. I am 57 and think I have combo? 5. Because you need so little, its a good value (especially if you buy on sale)
The only face wash I like.
This product cleans without making my skin feel tight and dry. It does foam nicely when used and smells slightly minty fresh to me. I usually use and prefer facial scrubs, but there are times I want something gentler. This is the best face wash I have tried.
Love The Look and Feel
This is my first time using this product and I love it already. I have sensitive skin and this doesn't irritate at all. A little goes a long way. You only need a drop, as per the directions, and it goes a really long way. It looks and smells great.
Best face wash product
No other face wash product lathers up like this one! A small amount goes a long way and lasts. Your skin will not feel dry afterwards either. Been using this for years but miss the old packaging because I could see when the wash was getting low.
