Origins Mint Wash

Pros: Cleans oily skin beautifully; pleasant yet unique fragrance.
Cons: Expensive in price; bottle design requires users to "pour" product out.

Over the past several months, I've had lots of fun experimenting with many new high quality facial cleansers, masks, and other skin care treatments produced by Origins. My skin has never looked better, although I must admit that my pocketbook is...

Pros: Lathers Well; Removes Makeup; Refreshing; Not Drying
Cons: Might not be for sensitive skins? Doesn't clean out pores

10/24/02 UPDATE: I updated this review because of developments after even more prolonged use. Update at the bottom of the review.

On the quest to collect every Origins...

Pros: Only Takes A Little, Good Lather, Thoroughly Cleanses
Cons: Smells Nothing Like Mint, Can Be Over Drying

Two Origins reviews in two days, I'm beginning to feel like another Epinions member I know! ;o) Okay, back to business. I ordered Origins Mint Wash with another Origins product off of Ebay.com. Thankfully I have been much more...

Pros: oil controlling features
Cons: medicinal smell

I had never tried any Origins products before using this cleanser. While there is an origins store near me I have never had the desire to go in because the shop is tiny with tons of people always crammed inside. I took advantage of getting a Origins...

Pros: Controls my oily skin without overdrying, don't have to use too much product.
Cons: Expensive and the smell.

I have a confession:

I have oily skin. I've always had oily skin. Let me give you an example of how oily my skin is, or should I say was:

1. One day my boyfriend and I were grocery shopping and we went to pick up some vegetable...

Pros: helps eliminate dirt and oil, may be good aromatherapy (contains "soothing," "calming" essential oils)
Cons: overly drying, contains ingredients that may irritate sensitive skin, overpriced

I originally bought Origins Mint Wash for my daughter, Katie. What attracted her to Origins Mint Wash, initially, was the price tag. Katie's a sucker for anything that's ridiculously expensive. She even argues convincingly that money does grow on...

Pros: Clean smelling, helps control oil, pore-refining qualities
Cons: Does not rinse cleanly, difficult to lather

Having recently discovered Origins myself, I am now officially addicted to brand. Unfortunately, being Canadian, there is no Origins here (except in Ottawa, which is 3 hours away) so I do most of my shopping online or on e-Bay. Either way, it's expensive...

Pros: Nice, thorough, deep cleanser.
Cons: A bit drying, can be irritating if you have sensitive skin.

If it's a mint smell you're expecting, this may disappoint, but it's a good product nonetheless. I have also used this on my body with good results, although it may be a bit drying for that purpose; just bathe in the moisturizer and you'll be ok, since ...

Pros: Leaves no residue, doesn't over dry
Cons: Can be hard to lather

My skin stinks. When I use a product for oily skin or for acne, my face is too dry. When I use a product for normal skin, it's too oily. I have gone through so many facial cleansing products and haven't been fully satisfied with any of them. My...

Pros: Excellent wash for combination or oily skin, good price, a little goes a long way!
Cons: It may be easier for travel if packaged in a tube.

I started using Origins over 15 years ago when I received a sample of the Mint Wash. I immediately loved it for my sensitive and combination skin. When I find a product that works...I stick with it. I have only used this as a face wash for over 15 years. ...

Pros: eye-opening scent
Cons: what could be the down side to body wash?

I received this mint wash as a gift last Christmas and enjoy each use immensely. This body wash works really well. It has a distinctive minty aroma and a full, thick lather. It invigorates the senses come shower time. I prefer to use it in the...

Pros: Nice scent, gentle, pretty packaging
Cons: You pay for the pretty packaging

I have always been a Sea Breeze gal. I started using the stuff when I was in junior high, and have always needed the astringent in it to not only dry out the oily parts of my skin, but to act as a morning wake up call-- the "MWAH" I got just from rubbing...

Pros: Nice bottle, looks very minty.
Cons: Very, very drying.

There's something about mint that seems so cooling, so refreshing, so cleansing, which is why I had to have Origins Mint Wash. Now, I don't know where I got my strange, idealistic ideas about mint in the first place, but this product has...

Pros: refreshing clean, effective removing dirt and makeup, non-drying
Cons: none

When I went to visit my dermatologist a couple months ago, she made me run down the skin care products I used on a regular basis. After listening to me explain why I loved these products, all by Origins, I got the lecture on why these department store...

Pros: Thorough cleaning, few break-outs, goes far.
Cons: There are none in my opinion

This is the best cleanser I have ever used. Last year, my dermatologist diagnosed a minor skin condition on my face. After months of trying to clear this up, I washed with my old cleaner and my skin condition flared up immediately. I searched all...
