Customer Reviews for Radiance Serum
Review 1 for Radiance Serum
Great moisturizer for those who hate lotions!
April 6, 2012
I absolutely LOVE this serum! I have hated putting lotions on even since very little, and my mom would scold me because I preferred letting my skin crack and bleed rather than to have the feeling of lotion.
That's a problem with my oily, acne-prone skin, because when you don't moisturize your face creates even more oils and worsens the acne.
But this serum is AMAZING. It doesn't make my face feel too greasy or oily (though I don't use it in the morning because I don't like the feel under my makeup). It seems a bit pricey but as with most Burt's Bees products, a little goes a long way. I use 3 drops every night, (although if I skip one or more nights I have to use 5 or 6 the next day). So, it lasts me 3-5 months and in the end is cheaper than other moisturizers which you have to buy more often.
And the crazy thing is, I can tell an immediate difference. If I miss a couple days, I'll start to notice that my face looks more pale and feels dry and produces more oils. When I use it, my face looks brighter, almost 'glowing', and feels so much healthier! Not to mention my pores look smaller, and it makes me look less tired overall.

Review 2 for Radiance Serum
Better than promised
February 26, 2012
My hands are horribly dry and look much older than they should from constantly being in water with detergents. I started using this on my hands daily and they look and feel so much better. I use three drops on the tops of each hand and rub it in from wrist to cuticle, paying close attention to the soft/thin skin on upper palm and knuckles. The wrinkles are instantly gone. My 36 year old hands no longer look 70 years old! This is the best beauty product I've ever had.

Nails!
August 20, 2011
Radiance Serum works miracles on weak, dry, splitting nails. A drop on each nail once a day will make your nails strong and healthy. I couldn't believe what it did for mine.

Review 4 for Radiance Serum
Not what I expected
June 29, 2011
Product left face feeling too oily and skin never really absorbed the serum, therefore face lines were not provided with enough moisture and were very visible.

Not good for me!
April 7, 2011
Cons: Unpleasant smell, Irritating, Caused redness
Let me start by saying I have very sensitive skin. I have been using the Ageless line for about a year and have been very, very happy with it.
After using this product for a few days, my skin became itchy, red and blotchy. The aroma also really irritated my eyes. I decided to try it only on my neck and had the same results. It is just not for me.

Review 7 for Radiance Serum
Best Buy! Best Results!
March 24, 2011
Pros: Immediate results, Easy to use
Burt's Bees Radiance Serum took me by surprise! This little product is awesome! I have never purchased a product that delivered immediate results! I've tried many well-known facial products, but this one truly is amazing! The serum definitely leaves my skin looking radiant, giving it a healthy tone to my face!! Even my pores appear to have tightened, leaving my skin to look smoother and soft at touch!
Don't let this little bottle fool you, it goes a long way, you don't need to use much! It applies smoothly and generously over the entire face (4 tiny drops), and keeps my face moisturized throughout the entire day. Sometimes I use Burt's Bees Radiance Moisturizer over the serum for added protection to my skin from harsh environmental conditions. Love Love this product ! ! !

February 1, 2011
Pros: Immediate results, Easy to use, Smells great
Thanks to genetics I've always had clear, smooth, soft, youthful skin. About six months ago, my doctor put me on medication. My skin reacted horribly and suddenly my skin was far from looking like it used to. I decided to give Burt's Bees products a try because of its natural ingredients. I am soooo happy & grateful that I did!! My skin is almost 100% back to looking like it did before!! The Radiance Serum is AMAZING!!!!

Radiance Serum
January 5, 2011
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Irritating
I bought it because of its content of royal jelly. I have not been using it for long, so I do not really know if it would work as promised. But so far, it is all right.
One thing I would to point out is that it has relatively large percentage of alcohol compared with any other burt's bee products I have tried. The alcohol makes my skin feel fresh, but it also makes it a bit dry, which has not been a problem for me since I always use another moisturizer on top it. But I can imagine it could be a problem for others with more sensitive skins. I especially would recommend to avoid eye area.
I think it would be an even better product if the alcohol content is less.

Pros: Easy to use, keeps skin normal, no breakouts, Gentle
I have dry skin, and usually need a moisturizer during winter. Usually by the evening, by face becomes oily. However after using this serum, I do noit require a moisturizer and my face is neither dry nor oily. It feels normal!
I like it and have ordered more.

September 7, 2010
Pros: Easy to use, Smells great, evens skin tone, lightweight
I have been using this product for almost a month now and my skin has not looked this good since before I started getting acne. It evens my skin tone and texture, and overall makes my skin look and feel very healthy. I have combination oily skin and I use this as my moisturizer. It feels very lightweight. A little goes a long way!

great night treatment
July 26, 2010
Pros: Immediate results, Easy to use
I use the radiance serum at night, shortly before I go to bed, when I wake up, my face is soo radiant and moisturized. I absolutely love the glowing look this serum gives my skin. If I wear it in the morning as my moisturizer, shortly after I put my makeup on, the serum gives me a glowing appearance still throught my makeup! My skin hasn't looked this good since I was pregnant with my son!

Honey is a life saver
June 30, 2010
Pros: Immediate results, Easy to use
Anything with honey, and/or royal jelly in it is so amazing. I swear by honey because it has so many uses, but I had forgotten how people say honey is good for clearing up scars... well, it's true! Yes, this product has made my face look better, and certainly a lot more healthy... but what they don't say, I was thrilled to find out! After only a few days of using this, some spot scars I had almost completely faded away. I was pleasantly shocked. The only con to this is... don't add too much. When they say sparingly, they mean it. I find that only one or two drops is all I need. Otherwise, it can make you face a little sticky feeling, after you add your moisturizer and such. So what I've found myself doing is using it only once a day, alternating it for my regular toner (which is an all natural product too- so it's a lot more moisturizing than regular toners).

I've tried everything else...
I use this twice a day, I'm on my second bottle and have noticed quite a difference. My skin looks, feels, is healthier. I suspect I'll be using this for many years to come. Great product. Glad I tried it, wiish I'd found it years ago.

I've only been using this for about a week now but I LOVE it. It gives my skin a natural glow that lasts all day, even after I apply powder. My skin hasn't looked this good since I was 11! I can actually go out without makeup. My favorite of my daily regimen

That sought after "glowy" look!
February 6, 2010
Pros: Immediate results, Easy to use
Cons: minimal breakouts
It's true. This is one of my favorite BB products. I apply it only my cheeks every other morning after cleansing and WOW! That sought after glowy look that we all read about in the magazines, and that we thought models could only pull off, can be achieved! It really improves skin coloration and texture. Just don't use too much because it causes breakouts. I strongly recommend it!

Review 18 for Radiance Serum
Love It:)
January 19, 2010
Amazing Product! I am so picky about what I put on my face and I wasn't sure about a serum, but this product totally changed my mind. I use it to give my skin that little extra moisture and it works amazing! I can't tell you how many compliments I receive about my skin and how beautiful it looks! Thanks Burts Bees!

Review 19 for Radiance Serum
WOW! Really Makes a Difference!
September 29, 2009
Pros: Immediate results, Easy to use
I've been in the sun for years without ever using sunscreen so now that I'm in my mid-thirties I'm starting to see those signs of aging in my skin. I've tried other products, but none of them made a difference. The only noticable difference was when you first put on, but then no long term results. I tried the Radiance Serum and night lotion and all I can say is WOW! My skin looks radiant. My lines are less noticable and my overall skin tecture looks more like it did when I was younger. My skin looks healthy again. Even when I don't have it on, my skin has improved and not just dependent on the cream. I just purchased the Radiance with SPF. I feel the royal jelly and all natural ingredients "heal" your skin rather than just cover up temporarily. Thanks Burt!

My Face Thanks You Burt !
September 25, 2009
Pros: Immediate results, Easy to use, not harsh, Not greasy
In addition to living in dry the high desert of Northern Arizona, I also have a really hard time finding facial products that will moisturize without making me greasy or break out. I have finally found the perfect solution! My skin in soft and smooth, not breaking out like it used to, and I haven't had a dark circle or bag under an eye since I started using this serum. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
