Excellent product, 8 April 2012

I have been using this facial scrub daily for several years. I have sensitive skin prone to redness, oily in patches and normal in others. I use this scrub every morning and follow with the burts bees rosewater toner. I always get compliments about how lovely my skin looks. I find that this scrub gives me a good clense without drying out my skin and making my face feel horrible and tight like many other washes and scrubs I have tried before. It lasts for ages too as you only need a small amount of the paste to have a great effect. My brother has similar skin to myself, and as he is in his early 20's still suffers from spot breakouts. He found this scrub to be better than all the products for blemished skin as it didnt dry out his face. To give a more rounded view, I did but the burts bees lemon and poppyseed scrub as well to try. It is more oily, and to heavy for my skin type to use every day. I use it maybe once a month as a face pack alternative, and my fiancee likes to...

A bit too coarse, 11 Aug. 2011

I have used a small pot of this scrub, available in Burt's Bees Facial Kit. It's very thick and grainy. To use it, you need to take a small amount on your hand, and mix it with a little water, to form a paste. It has a great smell reminding me of home baking, I could mostly smell cloves and nutmeg. However, I found the grains a bit too coarse, and the scrub scratched my face a bit too hard.The ingredients list:Vegetable glycerin, sweet almond oil, almonds, oat flour, orange peel powder, rose petal powder, pecan shell powder, grapefruit seed extract, nutmeg powder, clove powder, orange oil, tocopherol (vitamin E), rosemary extract, soybean oil, water, glucose, fragrance, canola oil, sodium chloride, glucose oxidase, lactoperoxidase, geraniol, limonene.

Love it!, 23 Mar. 2012

The only scrub I use. You need to take a small bit of the scrub, and add a few drops of water to make a paste.

Looking at other reviews I agree it might not be very pretty looking, but its natural... you cant have it all.. most natural products seem a little different to what we're used too because they don't contain the nasty ingredients that make something esthetically pleasing or give it a good consistency.

On the other hand, the smell is to die for. It reminds me of Christmas time... smells like cloves and cinnamon and mulled wine... YUM!

The size of the grains are fine for my skin - I have normal/oily. This one is more gentle then the burts bees peach and willowbark scrub which I thought was a little to harsh. I would call this a 'medium' scrub - probably the consistency of castor sugar (possibly even smaller).

Lasts for ages...probably about 4-5 months with 2 applications per week (according to my beauty therapist you shouldn't...
