Attention all you ladies with oily skin! Look no further! This is the cleanser for us!! I had begun running out of my MAry Kay cleanser and dreaded the thought of waiting 2 weeks for my rep in North Carolina (I live in New Jersey) to send it to me. Thank heavens I found this Web site! I took the recs of the gals who highly recommended both the Estee LauderPerfectly Clean Foaming Gel Cleanser and this one. I've smartened up after making purchases of stuff that was dreadful -- so I asked each of the reps for a sample. The EL rep was stingy and barely gave me enough for 2 uses. The Origins rep was generous having given me a small bottle for nearly a week to two weeks use. While I like the grapefruit scent of the EL, I learned from their Web site that it contains "essential oils"!! This is definitely why my T-zone had the shinies after only one hour of washing my face. After two uses of the Origins, I am convinced this is the way to go. A subtle minty fragrance combined with an unbeatable cleansing capability. I woke up this morning with no greasy feeling or shinies!! Plus, use of this product helps keep your make-up in place all day. Now for a price comparison. EL's cleanser is $16.50 for 4.2 ozs while Origins is $15.00 for a 6.7 oz bottle -- and you only need a very small amount since this stuff is concentrated! I have to thank you ladies at this Web site for helping me so much! iCompact women rule!!!!!!!
