If the scrub sells like pumpkin pie, it may contain cinnamon, which is quite irritating to some skins (like mine). I tried the MYChelle pumpkin enzyme peel and kate sommerville exfoliator and my skin broke out in welts. The common denominator was cinnamon! It buuuuurns and irritates my face like a sunburn.

@nycartist9 Wow, thanks for the info! Good to know!

This stuff hasn't broken me out at all, and I use it every night. Burt's Bees products have never broken me out, but plenty of Neutrogena/Olay/etc products have. I guess type of my sensitive skin is just more suited to the more "natural" products. I use the BB Sensitive face wash after this, fyi. Maybe you should try not leaving the film on your face? I would probably just use it on my feet or body if it hurt my face, though, lol.

@StrawberryZombie Yeah, I used it as a hand scrub. LOL!

I never tried this before...but heard great things about La Prairie and bot a $30 bottle of face wash....but it just broke me out..it made my skin really dry...poooo...it's been a year and it's still pretty full..too bad I have dry skin to begin with..

@ch0nkie Wow, sorry to hear that. You might want to try out philosophy purity made simple. It's one of my faves.

Haha I got it too because of kandee Johnson! I love it and I fortunately didn't breakout. I'm sorry that you did :( I think it smells like oranges and cloves :) I love the smell

its the glycerin in the product that makes it mousturizing and it may make you break out

I have this scrub and I love it! Ive been using it for about 2 weeks and my face is clear. It leaves my skin so soft I cant keep my hands away! I love the smell and I dont have mini breakouts anymore. I have a tzone oily face and it works wonders for me.

I'm usually hit and miss with "natural" products, but with Burt's Bees it's almost always a miss :/

Say "Hi" to Lucy :D

YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THE REVIEWS ON THE BEAUTYPEDIA SITE THEY DID A REVIEW ON THIS PRODUCT AND DESCRIBED WHY THAT PRODUCT WAS NOT GREAT FOR ALL SKIN.

@suripopje When you say soda, do you mean baking soda or soda as in the carbonated beverages? I am a big fan of gossmakeupartist and am eager to try it either way!

[Lelaminator]

sadly i don't like anything from burt's bees!

i've tried the scrub and it irritated my skin like crazy. also don't like their face washes for acne because they have no effect on me :(

i also hate their chapstick because they leave a white film on my lips :(
