WHY IT WORKS: We blend natural ingredients such as oats, orange peel, ground almonds and ground spices with rose petals to create this luscious facial scrub that’s gentle enough for daily use. Sweet almond oil moisturizes the skin while you exfoliate with ground almonds and spices. The orange oil helps remove traces of dirt or makeup left behind after cleansing. Burt’s Bees Citrus Facial Scrub is recommended for all skin types. HOW IT WORKS: Place a lima bean-sized amount of citrus facial scrub in your palm and add a small amount of water. Gently mix into a paste. Massage the paste in gentle circular motions over cleansed facial skin, avoiding the delicate eye area.2 oz.

Wonderful, moisturizing, freshJun 06, 2005
By M. Rizer
"Word Well"
I love this product so much I researched stores where I can purchase it when I moved (not many do). It's got a great smell, and offers this strange mix of a light scrub yet moisturizing at the same time. Your face just glows afterwards.
To get the right effect, scoop a small amount with your fingers and mix it with a bit of water in your hand. Gently rub in circles around your face then rinse. I especially use it around my nose where my pores are large and prone to blackheads. The oils in the scrub don't seem to make it worse and do a great job cleaning the area.
Highly recommended.

A Good Facial ScrubMay 25, 2004
By James Choma When my wife brought this little vial home, I looked at it and thought, This is only going to last two days at most! What you'll find is that the facial scrub is a highly concentrated paste. All you have to do is scoop a small portion out and add a little bit of water. Mix it on your hand, and you've got one of the best facial scrubs out there. And the smell...it's excellent; very subtle, but pleasant. If used correctly, this little container should last you months. Highly recommended!

Nice, Enjoyable, Soothing, RefreshingFeb 23, 2004
Great aroma, smells of cloves and other spices, but is not overpowering. (I'm actually not wild about the smell of cloves, but love this product's aroma.) Truly all natural. I look forward to using this each morning. Skin feels smooth and soft after use.

Awesome Stuff!Jul 12, 2005
By Rae Atkinson I really love the scent of the Citrus Cleanser. It is almost as delicious as the Lemon Poppy Seed Facial Cleanser, also by Burts Bees. This product works really well and keeps your face clear and smooth. Anything from this product line is really excellent and is all natural, which is great for those with sensitive skin. I recommend this or the Lemon Poppy Seed Cleanser. I also like the Garden Tomato facial soap and toner. That is the best for those of you with oily skin.

Nutmeg and Clover, Over and OverJul 02, 2005
By M. Allen Greenbaum This exfoliant is designed to wake up your skin, scrubbing it with tiny abrasive ingredients to get rid of the old and bring forth the new. It exposes a newer layer of cells, removing dirt and older skin cells. One's face feels fresher and looks healthier. Burt's Bees does this and more, and it's the more that I don't like.
In its admirable stance of using natural ingredients, the product contains sweet almond oil and almonds, vegetable glycerine, oats, orange peel and oil, rose powder, pecan powder, grapefruit seed extract, nutmeg powder, clove powder, tocopherol (vitamin E), and fragrance. It's the nutmeg and clover that I don't like. The scent is so strong that it feels like you've smeared pumpkin pie on your face. The scent lingers, even after several rinses. It's glorious if you love this smell, but it's very annoying if you don't. Although it's called "citrus," the overloaded spice smell completely dominates; I didn't smell citrus at all.
The other problem is a noticeable oily texture. The oily feeling does rinse away, but aesthetically it's a letdown, antithetical to the fresh, cleansing feeling one expects. The product has a not uncomfortable "grit" to it, so it's up to the exfoliating task. Still, I'd easily recommend similar products by Origins and Alba over this Thanksgiving potpourri.
