As I’m sure you’re aware, I’ve been on the hunt for a new facial cleanser. I want it to be as safe for the environment as possible and I want it to work! I have oily skin that tends to get irritated easily and in the harsh winter cold can become dried out. Well ladies and gentlemen, drum roll please… I have found a winner. I’m not kidding. I know I can jump around with products but I am in love. Literally in love with these three products.
Checks and Balances leaves my skin clean and refreshed. There is no tightness and it controls oil for hours. I use it day and night and have noticed a considerable difference in the shine factor.
Modern Friction has made my skin so soft. I use it twice a week and can see an immediate change. My blackheads are disappearing and my pores appear smaller. My skin is soft and looks and feels reenergized. It doesn’t irritate like some scrubs with sand have been known to. I absolutely love this.
With all three of these products I use a very minimal amount. The size of a pea for the cleanser, one dousing of the tonic on a cotton ball and the size of a dime on the scrub. I anticipate each of these to last well over six months, thus I’m okay with the cost. And did I mention, each of these products are tested on people not animals, is made exclusively with plants and essential oils not chemicals and the tonic is even organic? I have nothing to complain about!

Hi Pam-
So far I haven't found that the tonic is drying. But, I do have very oily skin and no offense, as my mom has said, even older oily skin responds differently to things than younger skin. I tend to think the older you get the more prone to drying it is and the more moisture it actually needs because it is losing it's natural moisturizer. Maybe I'm wrong… but it might explain why this was a bit too drying even though you have oily skin?!
