I absolutely love this product! Like many other I too have struggled with acne for years which by now I consider an adult acne. I have tried almost every acne product under the sun, the last being Proactiv. Proactive was 1000% inefficient and irritating for me but I suffered with it for the 60-day trial period to make sure I didn't give up on it. Then I bought this scrub along with the Purifying Gel Cleanser and the Moisturizing Lotion and I have to tell you that nothing else has ever calmed my acne like these products. This has been an absolute god-send for me. Yes, the scrub does feel like it leaves a greasy film on your skin after use, but I follow up with the gel cleanser and the film is gone. And the moisturizer softens and calms my skin beautifully. The moisturizer does have a light medicinal smell initially, but it fades away quickly. I will be using these products for as long as Burt's Bees makes them. THANK YOU Burt's Bees!

Like someone said below, I want to like this! But I can't. The hydrogenated oil is the culprit in making my skin feel like a layer of crisco is left after I wash off the "scrub" (which doesn't really scrub). Because I can't throw anything away ever, I know I'll finish the bottle...maybe I'll use it on my legs for shaving? At any rate, I was so excited about this line of products, but I'm not impressed with this. The facial lotion is nice, however.

Comments about Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions Pore Refining Scrub, 4 oz:

Burt's is usually a pretty trustworthy brand but this wash falls short. Figured the price tag would be worth the investment, however, it falls short in effectiveness and post use. The apricot smell is pretty unbearable and the greasy shine left over makes it looks like you didn't wash your face at all. Disappointing, I threw more than half of it out.

Comments about Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions Pore Refining Scrub, 4 oz:

I love this face wash. I have been using it consistently for the past year and it makes my face look great. I do not have really bad acne, so I would recommend this for an adult who breaks out occasionally. The whole time I used this face wash consistently I never had breakouts.

I ran out recently and started using another product (also from Burt's Bees), and my face starting breaking out in a few spots. I really believe it is because I stopped using this fash wash.

Comments about Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions Pore Refining Scrub, 4 oz:

It's a natural product, this is what I like about it, it's gentle on the skin, but it does leave an oily film on my skin, that it's hard to wash off. This is the only reason I discontinued using it.

    Comments about Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions Pore Refining Scrub, 4 oz:

    I normally love Burt's Bees products. I feel that this was a miss. It didn't do anything for my acne. My face is oily and I didn't feel that it's best suited for oily skin. The product itself feels like it'd be better suited for dry or normal skin. Also, I didn't like the smell of the product. The jojoba beads I think made it smell weird. The product seemed to get messy and come in gobs at a time.

      Since using this product in combination with other acne control products I have notices a reduction in my pore size and less acne. It does leave a feel on your skin even after you wash it off like you've just put on lotion, but it doesn't seem to clog pores.

      Filmy residue

        Comments about Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions Pore Refining Scrub, 4 oz:

        I was looking for a good exfoliating scrub. This is not it. It seems to just be a gentle every day cleanser. The exfoliating beads are very small and sporadic. Also, I just don't feel clean after, almost like a greasy residue is left on my face. I'll go back and stick to my St. Ives Apricot Scrub.

          • Daily Use
          • Oily Skin
          • Shower

          Comments about Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions Pore Refining Scrub, 4 oz:

          I use this every day in the shower. I love that it feels fresh and is not scented. I gently scrub it over my wet face and it helps to make my oily skin feel clean. Any extra I have in my hands will be used on my shoulders. It does not leave a greasy, heavy film behind, nor does it go the other way and dry my skin out. I can use this daily year-round, and have repurchased it. Basically a perfect tool in my fight against acne!

          horrendous smell

              Comments about Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions Pore Refining Scrub, 4 oz:

              It would be a good cleanser if you can get over the smell. Unless I received a bad batch, my cleanser smells like iodine. I thought it would go away after several uses, but is still strong. It is creamier than most pore refining cleansers, but rinses off clean in the shower. Some other reviews refer to an orange smell, but I don't get that at all.

              Comments about Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions Pore Refining Scrub, 4 oz:

              After reading the other reviews for this product, I decided to purchase it with the Purifying Gel Cleanser. I agree, this scrub shouldn't be used alone. It feels like you've washed your face with shortening after rinsing it off! However, when used in conjunction with the Purifying Gel Cleanser, it is an effective part of my skin care regimen. The gentle beads do a great job of smoothing and polishing my skin. After rinsing, I wash my face with the gel cleanser which removes all of the scrub residue and leaves my face feeling clean and healthy. I have noticed a significant difference in the oiliness of my skin, since beginning to use this product, as well as a reduction in breakouts. I am hopeful that with prolonged use, my skin will continue to improve. I plan to add the targeted blemish treatment and Acne Solutions moisturizer to my regimen, as well.

              I didn't think that this product was great nor was it awful. I definitely lean more towards the indifference rating for this product. I'm not a really big fan of the smell though. The jojoba beads were nice for exfoliating.
