Pros: Texture, Does not leave a film, Smells great, leaves skins feeling smooth and soft.
I love the BB soap products, Peppermint and Sage and Citrus and Ginger Root. I notice that my skin does not get dry like when i use other products and my eyes don't sting when i wash my face. Also, the products are very invigorating when taking a shower.
The last few years i have had very bad cases of dry skin on arms, elbows, behing my knee. I even had to go to the doctor. This year, none of that has taken place and I'm contributing that to using the BB soap products.

Love/Hate Relationship
August 14, 2010
Pros: Does not leave a film, Smells great
This soap (and really most bar soaps) and I have a love/hate relationship. I can't help using it because it smells soooo amazing, but it leaves my skin drier than a liquid body wash would. But oohhhh it smells so great... like seven-up or something!

Great for a bar
April 23, 2010
Pros: Smells great
I usually use body wash but recently started using the bar soaps because they tend to last longer. I've been really really happy with the energizing soap-- it leaves skin a little bit less smooth than the body wash, but I actually think it's more effective at cleansing. Overall great product.

Not as good as the rosemary/peppermint oil, imo
January 6, 2010
Pros: Texture, Does not leave a film
Like the peppermint oil/rosemary bar, this cleans effectively, leaves no residue, and does not dry out your skin, but I really didn't like the fragrance as much. It reminded me of the way fruity pebbles smells =) Not bad, but I think we'll stick w/our peppermint oil/rosemary bar.

Good Soap
January 5, 2010
Pros: Does not leave a film
Cons: Unpleasant smell
I have sensitive skin, and i've found that pretty much every other soap leaves a film and breaks me out in a rash except this one. I've noticed my skin feels softer as well. I don't particularly like the smell though. It doesn't smell bad, It just a little too sour-smelling for me.

Pros: Texture, Does not leave a film, Smells great
cheap brands of soap irritate my skin , dry it out , leave a film, and make my under arm area red and rashy. this soap smelled great, glides over the skin nicely, and left a clean feeling.

September 5, 2009
Pros: Texture, Does not leave a film, Smells great
I loved the way this bar smelled, but it doesn't seem to cleanse as effectively as the Bay Rum body bar. It also doesn't lather as well, though it did last longer. The scent also seemed to fade much more quickly.

Refreshing Bar of Soap
September 5, 2009
Pros: Texture, Does not leave a film, Smells great
Cons: rough
This soap is very refreshing! It smells wonderful and you can really feel it exfoliating your skin. It can be a little rough, especially when it's a new bar, so I start by using it on my legs which aren't as sensitive as other parts of my body.

my husband bought this
September 1, 2009
Pros: Texture, Does not leave a film, Refreshing
I'm not a fan of ginger and citrus scents, so this wasn't my cup of tea. My husband loves it though. It doesn't wake you up and get your going. Refreshing is an excellent way to describe it. I just dislike the smell. Makes you soft and clean though! If you're a citrus fan, this one is for you!

Favorite!
August 31, 2009
Pros: Texture, Does not leave a film, Smells great
This is a great exfoliating bar soap, if you don't mind it being rough. My legs are dry and they itch a lot, and so using this bar on them feels good because it makes me want to scratch less. I love the energizing scent!
If you want an exfoliating bar soap that isn't as rough as this one, try the Peppermint & Rosemary bar soap. :)

Wonderful bar soap
August 28, 2009
Pros: Texture, Does not leave a film, Smells great
I have tried both the body wash liquid and now the bar soap. I love love love this bar soap. It left my skin soft without any residue. Also I like the fragrance very much. I don't think I have met a Burt's Bee product that I haven't liked.

Very odd soap
August 23, 2009
Cons: Unpleasant smell, odd feeling
It smells strange, it looks strange, the exfoliating particles are a bit too rough, and it makes your skin feel like dry rubber in the shower.
I did not like this soap.

Best Thing About Waking Up In the Morning :)

Pros: Texture, Does not leave a film, Smells great, lathers up, great value, sensitive skin
There is nothing like the aroma of citrus and ginger to get you going in the morning. It puts me in a great mood and it is something I look forward to each morning!

Not my favorite
August 20, 2009
Pros: Texture, Does not leave a film
I really like how the soap makes my skin feel after a shower, but I was very disappointed with the fragrance; it doesn't really smell like anything. I really like the energizing citrus scent from the body wash, and hand soap, but the soap bar doesn't live up to the others at all.
