“This is the perfect hybrid of Origins checks and balances cleanser and their Modern Friction exfoliator. It has a better smell and texture than modern friction and is less sticky”
Toning Lotions
“The only thing I dislike is that it is more difficult to squeeze the lotion out of the bottle compared to other lotions I've had because the opening is too small”
Brightening Moisturizers
“It has a matte finish, very lightweight and not irritating to the sensitive skin at all! But the best part is that it brightens the skin, my acne scars faded away and some dark spots starting to go away too. 5/5, definitely recommend”
Clarifying Toners
