No more red face!!
April 21, 2012
Thanks to this product, not only is my skin clean from break outs but I no longer have that red face that I have carried for years. Due to inflammation of my skin because of acne, I tried several other products that failed. Anywhere from cleaners to scrubs. The inflammation is gone and my face is no longer red. The skin is now an even tone with my neck and now I'm not embarrassed when I see a picture of myself. My skin glows! I love it! Even my husband who really doesn't care much about anything commented that he really liked it and now will not use any other face wash.

Want clear skin?
March 30, 2012
Due to menopause and change in hormones, my face has seen many breakouts. I have tried several brand name products, but to no avail the breakouts continued or got worse. I have used Burt's Bee products (lip gloss and lotion) for years and while at a local store, I decided to give your Acne line a try. It has been 2 days since using your Acne line and already I am seeing a difference. Thank you for creating a terrific line, as well as a great smelling product to boot.

First I would like to say that normally I am a HUGE fan of Burt's products so when I found that this product is horrible I was dismayed. This stuff does nothing but make me want to wash my face again. After using is I could literally wipe the oil off my face. This would be great for somebody with super dry skin. Also, there's nothing refining about this cleanser. When I think refining I think of exfoliation...that's not how this felt at all. So, if you're like the Mojave Desert on your face this is the cleanser for you.

Disappointing
March 25, 2012
I bought this product because I had heard good review of burt's bees products in general and I was struggling with acne, so I thought it would be effective. To my dismay, it did nothing to my skin if not make it oilier. It was completely ineffective. I gave it a week, and saw no change, then several weeks and still saw no positive difference. It might depend on the skin, but I DO NOT recommend this product.

My face is so soft!
March 23, 2012
I bought this product a week ago and I have used it three times thus far. Every time I use it my face is so smooth and soft. Although I can understand why some may not like the scent of the face wash because it isn't fruity like most of Burt's Bees other products, I personally really like the scent.
It says to use 2 to 3 times a week and I have, but the day after I use it my nose is oily again and I get a pimple or two, so I may start using it daily. BUT my pores are definitely not as large and noticeable.

Like it so far!
February 5, 2012
I really like it!! I'm not sure, but I noticed my face isn't as oily in my T-Zone. :)
I have oily skin and cleansers usually dry my skin out, but this product has a lot of natural oils that seems to be helping my skin! Finally a cleanser that can be store-bought without the crazy ingredients. Haha!! Awesome!!

This product is kind of sticky, which I find strange in a facial cleanser. It also did not seem to do much for my sensitive/acne prone skin.

Good but not my favorite
October 27, 2011
I really like the Natural Acne Solutions products. The only downside to this product is that alone it feels like it leaves a film on my skin. I have learned how to get around this. I use this scrub once or twice a week (you should not use any scrub daily) then I follow it up with the gel cleanser that I do use everyday. That seems to be the way that this product works for me. Hope this helps.

Not a scrub!
August 26, 2011
This product has not helped to improve my acne at all. It is far too gentle to be referred to as a "scrub". The beads in it can only really be seen on your face, not felt...even if you rub them onto your skin. Also, there is a greasy/oily residual effect that has left my skin extremely oily on a daily basis now, that it wasn't before. It just hasn't worked for me.

I love this product! It works very fast and keeps my skin clear. I have used other acne products, but they dried my skin, this doesn't. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has acne problems.

May 29, 2011
I know many people do not like this product because of the waxy layer it leaves after it, but now I do not have to put lotion on my face after every wash, because this cleanser cleans and leaves my face smooth at the same time, unlike other acne products that over dry your skin. I love it. It is the only cleanser that has actually work for me. Also, to avoid excess oily skin, because that happens to me sometimes, I only wash my face at night, and just rinse it with cold water in the morning. My face is ACNE free thanks to this product!!!

I bought this for my 16 y/o son. I have now purchased a second tue for him. He loves it. Has done a great job controlling his acne and his skin has a nice smoothness and glow. Very gentle.

Leaves A Residue
March 16, 2011
Cons: leaves residue
Feels awful during application and does not rinse well at all.
I agree with other low reviews that this product leaves a greasy layer that is uncomfortable and makes make-up application unmanageable.

Great for Skin & Budget
March 3, 2011
Pros: Immediate results, Smells great, works!!!
I am ALL about quality products that are effective & economic. This Scrub works wonders on my oily-sensitive combination skin that is breakout-prone. I have run the gamut of most of what is commercially available & after using this BB Scrub, I am making this a part of my regular regime. It does leave a film afterwards, but I see it more as a moistuirizer to aid with the exfoliating process. This can easily be remedied with some Witch Hazel (100% Natural) Toner and a cottonball. I love it and it has significantly reduced my breakouts with no redness/irritation. I LOVE IT!!!!

Weird Consistency
November 23, 2010
Cons: sticky consistency
As someone that has been battling skin problems since high school (now in my mid 30s), I've searched high and low for products that would work and not be full of chems, etc. I decided on BB b/c of the all natural products. I used the entire acne line, including this scrub, for a month with very little results. What I really don't like about this scrub is the weird, greasy texture that's hard to rinse off. It almost is like washing your face with gritty olive oil. It would take too long to rinse off in the morning, plus I didn't see any improvement in my skin, so I decided to stop using it. I will admit that I have very sensitive, oily skin, so the product may work better for someone with a normal skin type. Oh well....the search continues.

Pros: Immediate results, Smells great, moisturizes, exfoliates, refreshing!
This is the perfect face wash! I wish I would have taken before and after photos. The last time my skin looked this good was in high school (when I was using nothing but Burt's Bees products!) I know a lot of people (my husband included) say that this face wash feels "greasy" afterward, but the natural oils are so moisturizing, which is really important for acne-prone combination skin. And it smells so good- it smells like rain! I love the exfoliating beads; they exfoliate without irritating skin.

This facial scrub is awesome. It exfoliates and leaves my skin feeling so soft. It lessened my pimples after one use. I will definitely be a loyal user of this product.

Not What I Expected!
October 21, 2010
Cons: Unpleasant smell, Greasy, not a scrub, hate the microbeads
I feel this product is incorrectly advertised as a scrub when it should be called a cream wash. I was expecting something more gritty and deep cleansing. I dislike the micro beads--they don't dissolve, don't scrub, and are hard to rinse out--I was picking them out of my eyebrows for a good 5 minutes. The cream is also greasy and not really refreshing. I won't be purchasing this product again.
