Where I got it: I had a coupon code at Origins.com when I ordered the Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask and the Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask. Origins products are available from Mecca Cosmetica or Duty Free Galleria.
What I got: This is a 30ml deluxe sample size of the Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash. It contains Broad Leaf Kelp Extract to discourage excess oil production, while Wheat Protein balances and protects dry prone zones. Tourmaline actually makes water wetter to more easily disperse dirt and sebum down the drain. There’s also aromatic Bergamot, Spearmint and Lavender to add pleasure to the process. Skin feels comfortably refreshed after cleansing, never tight, pulled or parched. This is suitable for all skin types.

How I find it: After removing my makeup, I wet my face and hands, squeeze out about 1cm of this face wash onto my hands and work into a lather. The lather is more like a shaving cream texture instead of a foamy texture. It feels luxurious on the skin and the smooth lather reduces the friction between my fingertips and my skin so it gives a gentle yet thorough clean. A little goes a long way, this little deluxe sample size is great for travelling.

Overall: I love the texture of this face wash. It lathers up richly and smoothly, it cleanses well and doesn’t leave skin too dry. I can use this by itself or with my Clarisonic to create a very rich lather.
