Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash & Gentle Face Wash for Men and Women | Foaming Facial Cleanser

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!)

I got this face wash in my Ipsy kit. After using it, I will never use anything else. I love this face wash. A little amount goes a long way so it last for months. I only have to buy about 3 bottles a year, so the price is worth it. Does not dry your skin out but leaves it feeling glowing and smooth. I have combination skin that is a little oily in T zone but this product keeps you from being oily. I am 45 so it is great for older gals. Great scent and not too strong. Trust me buy it!! You will never use anything else.

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.

A while ago I bought this soap at a mall and I really liked how it left my facial skin, soft, not at all greasy, and when I moved to another state I couldn't buy any more and I didn't remember the name of the soap brand, only after searching a lot I found it and I definitely bought it again and I was not disappointed, it continues to leave my skin very clean and what I like the most is that it doesn't leave my skin greasy at all since I have oily skin, it doesn't give me allergies, I have used many other soaps and I really love this one and the best thing is that it really lasts a long time because with each wash only a little bit is enough.. me gusta mucho !!!

Favorite cleanser. Love the clean and freshness it leaves my skin. Foams like a dream, loveeee the scent and cooling effect it leaves

today is june 17th 2025 and according to amazon, the last time i ordered this product was August 8th 2024. I use it every single day and i'm just about ready for a re-order. it takes a pea-sized dab to get your entire face extremely clean and fresh feeling. My skin looks and feels amazing after use, no greasiness at all. It may be 40 bucks, but for it to last almost an entire year with such effectiveness, it's a bargain. some things are just worth spending a little extra money on because in the long run, you'll save money AND it's just such high-quality facewash that it's worth it. get it!

Love this product! Makes my face feel clean and soft! It also smells nice!

Love this foam cleanser!! You literally use a tiny amount ( dime size) and it works. Broke out for years, started using, and stop breaking out. Been using this product for about 5 years now, love it!!! I have oily skin, and I feel like it doesn’t dry me out.

いつも海外で購入し使用していましたが、アマゾンにも販売があるのを発見し感動しました！並行輸入でも値段が安いのも魅力。 洗った後スッキリしっとりして、私の肌にとても合うので嬉しいです。しばらく切らしていた時にできた肌荒れも治りました。

Seit vielen Jahren nutze ich die Waschcreme von Origins. Abgesehen von einer superguten Reinigung kann ich sie durch eine etwas längere Einwirkzeit während des Duschens wie eine Gesichtsmaske nutzen. Die Haut ist hinterher gut gereinigt und gepflegt. Die Lieferung erfolgte absolut problemlos.

Excelente producto, para piel delicada y que quieras dejar limpia sin dañarla

This is a lovely, foamy face wash that’s not harsh on my sensitive skin. It feels like you’re getting that squeaky clean feel but without stripping your skin down.

Excelente, é o produto original
