GREASY!

by Stephie [Verified Reviewer]

in Boston MA on 10/13/09

Pros: None

Cons: Ineffective

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Bottom Line: not recommended

I love Burt's Bees, but I was very dissapointed to find that their whole acne line is FULL of all kinds of oil. I thought I would still try it and 4 days later my blackheads were worse and I had a ton of new zits! This scrub isn't very scrubby either and very greasy.

Threw it out after 1st use

Cons: Greasy residue, Ineffective

Bottom Line: not recommended

First - i use a few Burts Bee's products. This one, however, is not effective. It doesn't rinse off and leaves my skin feeling greasier than before use.

Loving Everything Burts Bees!!

by Converted [Verified Buyer]

in New Jersey on 9/22/09

Pros: Easy To Use, Works Effectively

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: Blackheads & Whiteheads, Moderate Acne

Bottom Line: recommended

I got an email from drugstore.com promoting the acne treatment line because they noticed I buy a whole line of Burt's Bees products, and because acne is the reason I switched I decided to give it a try. I love the stand up easy squeeze tube it comes in!! The exfoliators could be in a little thicker cleanser but I'm used to the the orange cleanser and the nothing but exfoliation orange scrub, I just rubbed it around a little gentler and was thrilled with it. It seems to leave a bit more of a residue than the orange products but I started rinsing with a wash cloth instead of just water and got that squeeky clean feel I'm used to with the BB products. I only use this one during the week of my worst breakouts, otherwise my skin is well managed by the orange line, but I'm glad to have some extra heft in my arsenol against bad skin when I need it!

Not Impressed

Cons: Ineffective

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Bottom Line: not recommended

I kept this in the shower for my husband and I to use. The first thing I noticed was the awful smell--medicinal almost, which is surprising, being that it is an all natural product. The jojoba beads provide very little exfoliation, and worst of all, this scrub does not rinse clean--it leaves this awful greasy residue on your skin. I like that this is a natural product, but I'm pretty disappointed otherwise.

I want to love this, but....

Pros: Easy To Use

Cons: Ineffective

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Bottom Line: not recommended

I want to love this product, I really do, but it just doesn't do what it says. There aren't enough jojoba beads in it to really exfoliate. My pores look the same, my acne hasn't improved, and I'm left with a weird, soap-like film all over. I've been looking for a good, non-drying, natural acne treatment for years . . . guess I'll keep on looking . . . .

Natural, but too greasy for me

by salixrubra [Verified Reviewer]

Cons: Greasy

Describe Yourself: Beauty Conscious

Best Uses: Daily Use

Age: 35-44

Skin Type: Combination

Bottom Line: not recommended

I like that this is a natural, non-toxic product. It has a mild abrasive action from the jojoba beads, but me and my husband both found that it left our skin too greasy. If your skin is less oily, you may like this.

This is the best one I've found.

Pros: Easy to rinse it off, Long lasting smooth skin, Perfect Consistency, Smooth, Wonderful scent

Cons: none

Best Uses: Once every few days

Bottom Line: recommended

I really enjoy this product. Finally, I found something that doesn't leave my skin too sticky after I use it. It's so easy to be rinsed off with water and doesn't leave a nasty trail on my face like many other facial scrub product.

Finally a scrub gentle enough for acne!

by Still Waters [Verified Reviewer]

in Iowa on 6/22/09

Pros: Effective, Gentle, Pleasant to use, Smells Good, Works well

Cons: Thicker than most

Best Uses: Twice a week

Bottom Line: recommended

I use this scrub twice a week instead of a cleanser and then follow with my acne treatment and the Burt's Bees acne moisturizer. It is great! Finally there is a facial scrub that is gentle enough for those of us who live with acne. Don't use too often because over stimulating skin can promote acne.

skin feels soft after use

by Alice

Bottom Line: recommended

This scrub is rich and creamy with a pleasant smell. The 100% natural ingredients make me totally worry free especially when my son uses it. It helps prevent new blemishes to come out and skin feels very clear, soft and smooth after each use.

Recommand this product

This srub is very gentle. I feel so good after I use srub, my skin is so soft and smooth. It doesn't feel dry like some of products.
