Origins Checks & Balances Face Wash - Ulta Beauty

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)

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.

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.

I have finished my third checks and balances, and this was my first time to place an order via online website. Loved the new design, quick delivery process (came to our place in 3 days I believe), easy to open the package not using the tapes, and customer service handling issues very well. Since changing my cleanser, I can better control my pores and overall skin condition. Definitely will use this again and again.

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.

It doesn't take much, so be careful when you squeeze the tube. But it cleans well and your skin feels so smooth and soft after a cleanse. I alternate this product with another of your products.

I love how foamy this gets and the smell is smazing

Really great keep buying it over and over. Not drying cleans gently really nice consistency.

A small amount of the face wash lathers up my face and neck. Nice clean feel. The smell is invigorating but a little masculine.

Smells great and gives that squeaky clean feeling on the skin! However because of the essential oils in the formulation it dried out my dry zones on my combination skin. Might continue to use this product, targeting my areas that are more oily (cheeks/nose) and avoid my drier areas (chin and forehead) but don't know if I want to expend the effort of using two different washes. Won't be repurchasing because I need something for my whole face not because it was a bad product.

Target shipped me an unsealed, unwrapped, unappealing version of this that looked nothing like the photo online or the product I’ve seen and purchased in person. It was dingy and frankly appeared counterfeit. I requested a refund based on those discrepancies, photographed them, and sent it back but they denied it, essentially stealing $30+ dollars from a longtime customer who’s never made excessive returns. Not sure how I could send back anything more than what they sent me. 😡Beyond disgusted.

I usually do not write reviews. I have extremely sensitive skin and have tried a lot of drug store face washes as well as high end face washes and so far I am on day 4 and am loving this face wash. The tiniest amount goes the longest way (seriously). The cleanser foams up and rinses off well leaving no residue. It does not sting my under eyes or anywhere more sensitive. Highly recommend trying this product if you are in the market for a new face wash.

I do like this product! But I am so tired of companies changing their packaging and design ALL the time. Just leave things alone for once. I liked the old design. This was one of my yearly Ulta Gifts which was nice. Pros: You only need a small amount. Just a dime sized amount lathers well. Luxurious feel. Rinses clean. Not drying. Con: Just do not like the ugly new bottle and brown color of the plastic. Looks cheap now!

One tiny pea sized drop will clean your entire face. I am not kidding you! It leaves my skin feeling so clean, but not overly drying. Again, if you use too much — you may feel two sizes too small, but stick to one pea sized amount and it'll do the trick.

I love the frothy pearly whipped texture. I love the herbal tea scent. I love how clean I feel afterward. I love the squeeze tube. I have loved this for decades. Two warnings. Well three. This will not be good for dry or sensitive skin. And never get it in your eyes.

Love love love this cleanser. I am weirdly annoyed by the packaging change. I hate the new one.

I have used this product for many years. I have occasionally tried others, but, keep coming back to Checks and Balances. I've never had any issues with it.

I have been using Origins products for decades. I am a male. This was one of the first Origins products I began using in their product line, so I am VERY attuned and knowledgeable as to the scent, texture and results of this cleanser. After contacting Origins several times about these changes, they were dismissive, not concerned and gaslit me about the changes. Most of the changes began after they introduced the Checks & Balances™ Polishing Face Scrub. Now, the Checks and Balances cleanser no longer had the clean and refreshing scent it once did. The texture of the cleanser has also changed dramatically as apparently they use the same production line for both the cleanser and the polishing scrub. The result of this is now that the Checks and Balances cleanser, still contains the polishing granules that should ONLY be in the Polishing Face Scrub.... NOT the cleanser. The texture of this cleanser has also changed. Now it is more of a greasy cream texture compared to the light more foamy texture it once had. This as well began after their introduction of the Polishing Scrub. So while they could have 2 products with different purposes and formulations, they changed the formula of the trusted and extremely highly rated original Checks and Balances to align with what they needed for the Polishing Scrub. This is a cheap cost saving measure, not a quality measure. Yet again another company whose main concern is cost cutting and not quality.

This foamy fresh cleanser is by far my new favorite cleanser. I love how it leaves my skin feeling so clean and revitalized but not dried out. I use it morning and night

This is my favorite face wash. The only one that clears my skin i have to have it. It does burb your eyes bad if you accidentally open your eyes. This is the best fave wash out of the hundreds I've tried.
