Quick View: This scrub is natural but it is seriously gross. It looks like hard packed moist dirt and only gets worse from there. I know some people who love this but I am not one of them.

About Burt's Bees Citrus Facial Scrub

This scrub is 99.84% natural and made with herbs and botanicals. The scrub looks like thick, moist dirt or, to be nice, hard packed carrot cake. To use, you have to scoop out a thick chunk and mix it with water until it is the consistency you want. Then you spread it on your face. The scent is unpleasant. It is earthy and strange and I am not a fan of it. When I put this on my face, it looks like I fell face down in dirt. I honestly don't feel a lot of scrubbing when I use this. I just feel like I am spreading something very gross and dirty on my face. Rinsing isn't the easiest but it does rinse off with water. After, my face feels OK. Not refreshed or smooth but not stripped or dry either.

The ingredients, for those who want to know what is in this product, are:
Sweet Almond Oil & Almonds, Vegetable Glycerin, Oats, Orange Peel & Oil, Rose Powder, Pecan Powder, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Nutmeg Powder, Clove Powder, Tocopheral (Vitamin E), Fragrance

Burt's Bees makes mostly natural products that are not tested on animals and the containers are recyclable and I like all that. But I really, really don't like this scrub. It's a hassle to mix it with water and try to get the right consistency and it feels and smells icky on my face. After, I don't feel as though I have exfoliated my skin. It hasn't hurt or irritated my skin but that's about it.

My Viewpoint

I am not all into this product. I like natural skin care but this scrub is just intolerable for me. I don't like the consistency, scent, or results. Ick. 2 generous stars.
