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!

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.

I have a lot of problems with sensitive skin. Most cleansers make me itchy. I love this product!! It cleans great with a fresh citrus scent.

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.

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.

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.

I think this scrub is great. It's gentle but seems to exfoliate well. As other reviewers have said you only have to use a small amount, it smells great (something like carrot cake maybe?), and lasts forever. My only complaint is that it leaves your skin feeling slightly oily. At first I was worried about this because I have oily skin and I thought this product might clog my pores or cause a breakout... but I've been using it for a couple of months now & have not had any problems. I think this scrub would work well for people with dry skin too since it is moisturizing.

I have incredibly sensitive and acne prone skin, so I am VERY hesitant to try new products. After a recommendation from a youtube make up guru, and success with other Burt's Bees products, I decided to take the risk. I love the smell of the scrub, it has a spicy nutty scent (like a holiday candle). I scoop up a bit with my finger and add a few drops of water to make a paste, gently exfoliate my face for about a minute and then rinse with warm water. I use it every other day, usually in the shower. It makes my skin feel very soft and smooth, even when I'm mid break out. If I have been wearing make up, I use my usual cleanser before the scrub. I'm not sure how great it would be to remove make up and dirt from the day, but it is great to exfoliate a few times a week. I have some pigment scars from acne, and exfoliation is supposed to reduce the appearance. I have been using other products for the scarring in conjunction, so I can't say that this scrub is what has helped my complexion, but it certainly hasn't made things worse. I would definitely recommend it.

This face scrub is fantastic! It definately leaves your skin fresh and dewy. It's natural ingredients so that makes it even better for your skin and it wont clog your pores. It's also super thick so it sounds and looks like such a small jar but you have to actually dillute it a little with water and it kinda forms a paste that smells deliscious and goes a long way. I was kinda worried about the smell because of some of the other reviews but I really like it. It's like pumpkin spice and it's not super strong either. This product instantly made my skin softer and gave it an extra youthful dewyness, I love it! I will probably use this stuff for the rest of my life lol! Thumbs up ;^D

I love this scrub! It has a pumpkin spice smell (which you wouldn't expect from citrus scrub, but it's very pleasant) and, as another reviewer mentioned, a little goes a long way. You just mix a little of the paste with water and scrub away, so you're definately get your moneys worth. My skin always glows after using it, and I use it about three times a week (give or take). I highly recommend it, especially if your are debating between this and the Lemon Poppyseed Scrub, I like this one better.
