Wish I didn't buy this
April 14, 2012
First of all, there's absolutely nothing exfoliating about this body wash. There's also no lather which means that a lot goes...nowhere at all. I actually have to go back for seconds just to finish the job (it's almost gone and I JUST bought this about a week ago)! As far as the scent goes, it's fine. I found it very subtle but my husband didn't care for it at all. All in all, not a good buy and will not buy this again.

Where's the radiance?
December 19, 2011
I kind of expected more from this product. I had to use alot each time because it didn't lather up much. It only lasted me maybe two weeks or so worth of washes, and I wash once every day with it. Also, I didn't see a difference in my skin's radiance, and I didn't feel like it had exfoliated very much. I'm switching to bar soap instead. I don't think I'll be using any more of BB's body washes.

Made Me Feel Like a Goddess!
December 12, 2011
I LOVE the scent of this product! The light exfoliation made my skin feel soft, clean, but not like it had been scraped like some rougher exfoliants would.

Great Body wash
July 22, 2011
This body wash is absolutly amazing. It lathers perfectly when used with a puffed wash sponge. Keep the great products coming. I'll be a life long fan and user of this product.

Not Entirely Satisfied
July 8, 2011
Let me start by saying my husband and I are Burt's fanatics. We were super excited to try this product! My first use I was thrilled with the smell, and I always use a lot of product so it lathered okay for me. After my husband used it he complained about the lather and how he didn't feel clean after using it. I noticed this too after more uses. We think it may be because we're not using the right applicator. We use a mesh shower poof. Anyways, I don't think we'll be buying Burt's body washes anymore. :(

Radiant!
July 6, 2011
I cannot stop using this wash. I make sure to use it every time I shower and I hope I don't run out soon. I love the fragrance and how it makes a gorgeous lather when I use a pouf. It makes my skin nice and smooth and I love to follow this up with the Radiance Body Lotion once I get out of the shower. I hope to buy the Radiance Exfoliating Bar soon because I can't get enough of this stuff!

Smell? What smell?
April 2, 2011
Pros: Does not leave a film
At first I was a little hesitant to buy this body was because I read reviews saying that the smell was overpowering. After a few uses, I still have not noticed any sort of smell, good or bad. It simply does what it's supposed to do, wash me!
If I had one complaint, it would be that I don't really feel that it's an "exfoliating" product. I don't feel the jojobas on my skin as I'm washing- I guess I wish it were a little coarser. Overall though, it's great!

Wouldn't Use This Product Again
March 29, 2011
Cons: Unpleasant smell
I love Burt's Bees products, so I was excited to try this body wash. It barely lathers, so I end up using twice as much as I normally do. Also the smell is similar to hair bleach. I was pretty disappointed with this body wash.

not what i expected
March 26, 2011
Cons: Unpleasant smell, no lather
I really love burt's bees, but this product just didn't do it for me. the number one thing I did not like was the scent. it isn't heavy, but it definitely doesn't smell clean....
also, extremely low lather. I would consider it more of a shower cream than a "wash" which I normally associate with at least a mild lather, even for chemical-free products.

I received this as a gift and was very excited until I opened it. The smell is atrocious to me, and I felt slimy after using it.

March 7, 2011
Cons: Unpleasant smell
This smelled okay in the bottle so I decided to take it home to try it out. I felt cleansed and refreshed when using it and it didn't dry out my skin like most other products seem to do but this is the most terrible smelling wash I have ever used. It is so bad I can't stand using it. The wash itself, although a little thin, works great but this smell is clearly not for everyone.

Doesn't smell very good
February 27, 2011
Cons: Unpleasant smell
I got a small sample of this body wash & lotion in one of the grab bags. First, the body wash is EXTREMELY watery. I had to use an incredible amount just on my arm. It didn't even seem like it was washing me. Also, this stuff smells terrible. It reminded me of a bleachy/hair-dye kind of smell. I was surprised and dissappointing, because the Radiance Night Creme is great.

Great product
February 12, 2011
Pros: Texture, Does not leave a film, light smell, good for sensitive skin types
I really like this body wash. I like that it doesn't have a strong fragrance, and it has helped my dry skin. I have extremely sensitive fair skin, and Burt's Bees is one of the only companies that makes products I can use. I have red bumps on the backs of my arms and constant dry skin, and Burt's Bees has helped with this and other body washes as well as providing lotions I can use. I have skin that will break into hives or rashes easily in reaction to many company's products. I have NEVER had a bad reaction to anything Burt's Bees carries. This body wash has helped with my dry skin a lot.

January 28, 2011
Pros: Texture, Does not leave a film, Smells great
The first time I tried the Radiance Body Wash I wasn't too sure if I liked it or not. After I used my first bottle up, I tired a different soap. Boy, could I tell a difference right away! After a couple of days I purchased another bottle of Radiance Body Wash and it was almost as if my skin said "thank you." It's been a couple of years now and I still use this wonderful body wash. I catch my husband using it too. I just wish it came in a larger size.

Like this a lot.
December 15, 2010
Pros: Does not leave a film, Smells great, cleans without overdrying
Cons: thin texture
This is a pretty good body wash. What I like the most about it is the smell. It's really pleasant and pretty but not overwhelming. My skin feels clean but not stripped when I use this body wash. My only complaint is that the texture of the wash is very thin and sometimes I feel like I have to use a lot of it. But I find if I lather my body with my hands and then use my body puff I don't use as much and I still feel clean.

Great smell and moisturizing action.
August 25, 2010
I love this body wash because it smells so good and is very moisturizing. It literally keeps me moisturized for 24+ hours after I shower.
The only bad thing is that I have to use a LOT in order to feel clean- 3 times more than other body washes. I know this because that's how many times I have to refill my loofah. Also, I wouldn't have marketed the "jojoba beads" because there are very few, therefore I wouldn't say this exfoliates. But I don't care because I did not buy this body was for exfoliation.
I guess this is a small price to pay for using a natural body wash that doesn't dry me out later - after all, I don't want to look down at a wrinkly body 10 years from now and regret using body washes full of sulfates.
Besides, I absolutely love how it makes my bathroom smell after I get out of the shower.

I like this stuff, but I prefer the radiance body bar. It lathers fairly well and smells good. It is a little thin so sometimes slides off of my hand while trying to use it.

good stuff
July 23, 2010
Pros: Does not leave a film, Smells great, makes my skin soft
I like everything in the Radiance line, but especially the body wash. It makes my skin dreamy smooth and the fragrance is light without overpowering. In fact, it is light enough that I can follow the body wash with Radiance lotion and still not have that overwhelming perfumy stench. I LUV this stuff.
