Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash

I got this really good travel size sample from Sephora and finally got the chance to try it a few weeks ago.  Overall, I like this cleanser very much.  I had an allergic reaction (I know again) a few weeks ago in my lower chin, and I couldn't put anything or use anything in that spot.  The cleanser I was using was out and I had nothing else in stock (yes, surprise!) except for this, so I had no choice.  But I was genuinely impressed with this cleanser, it felt good on my sensitive chin, no compliant. 

Origins products are also known for using natural ingredients, no wonder my skin likes it.  I really need to stick with these type of products, I had such a bad experience with Bliss eye gel, will share later!!!

Anyways, back to this wonderful cleanser.  It's a white creamy texture and lathers into milky foam with water.  The smell is probably the only thing that mildly turns me off at the beginning, it's minty to the point where it reminds me somewhat of a toothpaste scent. But I can deal with it and have gotten used to it now.  I read in some reviews that people didn't like the squeaky after-clean or that the skin felt dry after using it.  I personally like the squeaky clean feeling, I hate those so-called milky cleanser where my face still feels oily after washing it. And the dryness that some people complained about it, well it didn't happen to me.  And the best part is.....the price!  It's very affordable, $19 for 5 oz and you only need a little bit each time so the tube will go a long way.

The Origins line is definitely reasonably priced so I will for sure try out their other products!  I hope you all enjoy this cleanser just as much as I do.
