Burts Bees Citrus Facial Scrub, 2 OZ

This is one of the best face scrubs overall and the best one offered by Burt's Bees.It does smell like a blend of pumpkin pie spices and citrus but everyone in our family loves it!I laughed at the reviews that said it was too pasty or hard because although the jar is small it is filled with a more concentrated paste that, when some is scooped out and mixed with a few drops of water becomes a more spreadable product - AND THE DIRECTIONS TELL YOU THAT IF YOU READ THEM.We use a small plastic spatula to scoop into the palm of the hand and mix just a few drops in to form a spreadable paste. Then we apply to the face like a mask and walk around for 10-15 minutes smelling the yummy citrus spice bouquet and then either remove with a moist wash cloth or can be done right before a shower and can be scrubed off in the shower.Leaves skin smooth and soft and ready to soak up whatever fabulous moisturizer you have waiting!My only beef is that I prefer products do not come in jars due to a higher cross contamination potential but due to the thick paste it probably makes more sense, but then, probably most people do not have skin care spatulas handy like we did so I bet a lot of people are dipping their germy fingers right into the jar. A small plastic scooper added to the box would be a plus.

This has true grit-as it has large bits of exfoliating warriors. Much too tough for my skin. It feels comparable to St. Ives, which I have been told actually tears the outer layer of your dermis- not good. Now this is all natural, so it may not have that harsh of effect, but I just don't like it. It's perfect for my husband's face however. He actually gets a good scrub. I will stick with the Aveeno face scrubs as the grit is substantial, but not harsh. Oh and the smell is definitely strong of cloves, not orange.

I would like to thank Kandee Johnson for this purchase because she inspired me to buy it :) Took very long for this product to get here but once it did it was packaged well. I used it for the first time last night and I think it will take me awhile to get used to it. You are supposed to put a little bit in your hand and then add 2 drops of water. I did that and it just seems like you need to do something else; it's kinda hard to apply to your face. I'm pretty positive that this scrub will work wonderfully though :)

It's a natural product so the texture is a bit dry and it takes a few tries to get it right. I thoroughly wet my face first, then take a bit of mixture - about a quarter sized amount - and put that in the palm of my hands with just a bit of water, adding more until I get a paste I can use to scrub my face with. It smells nice, has not nasty stuff in it and is wonderful for my skin.

I just received this in the mail yesterday and jumped in the shower with it (I like to let the steam open up my pores and soften my skin - it makes it easier for my cleanser to grab all the dirt and oil). I used this after my Burt's Bees Soap Bark & Camomile cleanser, and my skin was so SOFT and SMOOTH after :) Even better, you only need a pea-sized amount mixed with a couple drops of water in your hand, so the 2 oz. jar will last you for a REALLY long time. It smells wonderful, too (like orange peels and nutmeg spices). I've tried the Burt's Bees Acne Solutions Scrub too, and that one has too little beads in it to exfoliate well, it also leaves behind an oily residue I didn't like. I love how the grains in this one are very fine and the orange oil very moisturizing without being heavy/clogging pores. OVERALL, a great GENTLE face scrub that delivers all the benefits without the harsh chemicals!(The reviewer was compensated for posting this review.

About 10 years ago, i used this scrub with the Burts Bees tomato face soap (which was discontinued) and tomato toner and my skin looked great. Back then, this scrub only cost about $8. I don't know if the formula has chanhe'd since then, or if the jar I got was just old, but this is not the same product I used to enjoy.I'm deeply disappointed. I feel ripped off after spending $23 on a subpar face scrub that will probably last me a month, at most.I used to love Burts Bees products, but this will probably be the last thing I buy from them.

I have incredibly sensitive and acne prone skin, so I am VERY hesitant to try new products. After a recommendation from a youtube make up guru, and success with other Burt's Bees products, I decided to take the risk. I love the smell of the scrub, it has a spicy nutty scent (like a holiday candle). I scoop up a bit with my finger and add a few drops of water to make a paste, gently exfoliate my face for about a minute and then rinse with warm water. I use it every other day, usually in the shower. It makes my skin feel very soft and smooth, even when I'm mid break out. If I have been wearing make up, I use my usual cleanser before the scrub. I'm not sure how great it would be to remove make up and dirt from the day, but it is great to exfoliate a few times a week. I have some pigment scars from acne, and exfoliation is supposed to reduce the appearance. I have been using other products for the scarring in conjunction, so I can't say that this scrub is what has helped my complexion, but it certainly hasn't made things worse. I would definitely recommend it.

I understood that it was a paste in a jar when I bought the product. I have used products like this before, but this scrub is much drier, denser, and more difficult to get out of the jar than other similar face scrubs. I don't particularly care for the scent (it does NOT smell like cinnamon, orange peel or pumpkin pie like I was expecting). It leaves a waxy residue on my face. "Gentle" scrub is right, I wouldn't really consider it an exfoliant. It was a good price, but I'm underwhelmed and won't be buying it again.
