ABOUT: According to the packaging, this product is in the "Sensitive" skincare line and offers a "natural skin solution" that "moisturizes without causing redness or irritation". It is also "soap-free, fragrance-free, and hypo-allergenic". The bottle boasts the ability to "soften, moisturize, and soothe".
REVIEW: I decided to review this product because I am disappointed in the current reviews. Too many times have people mentioned that they would rate this higher if it offered anti-acne medication and/or some type of aging-deterrent. People! Why not review the product for how it performs with the actual claims on the bottle? Specifically soften, moisturize, and soothe.
I have been using this product for three weeks now. I have acne-prone skin that is very sensitive because of several topical medications that I am on which address this acne-prone skin. For me, the "holy grail" of facial cleansers is a product that is gentle enough to not irritate my skin, but still effective as a cleansing agent. Does not cause break-outs. Oh, yeah and please add a moisturizing component and an aesthetic experience. With these requirements, let's just say I've been around the block a few times with cleansers from department stores (Clinique) to drug stores (everything!).
This cleanser is the best that I have used! I love the creamy consistency, which gently removes makeup, dirt, grime, and grease while still leaving my skin feeling moisturized. It does not form a gross suds-ball because it isn't full of unnecessary and irritating surfactants/detergents. It doesn't cause breakouts, and while unscented, it has a very faint "toasted rice" scent to it, which may be the Rice extract. I noticed that a few reviewers commented on the "film" that it left on their face honey, those are your natural oils! I agree that I also felt a little "filmy" after I first used it, but by the next wash that sensation went away replaced by a thrill of not having to rush for my moisturizer within 30 seconds to replace all the oils I just stripped away. It's quite nice!
In summary, this facial cleanser delivers. If you are looking for an anti-aging or anti-acne cleanser, this is NOT it. If you are looking for a cleanser that will clean and moisturize your sensitive skin, I don't know that you will find a better product than this one. By the way, it's 99.0% natural that's pretty great, too!After spending years buying expensive skin products from a French company at the mall, I sampled Burt's Bees Citrus Facial Cleanser. From the second I opened the tube and smelled the delicious orange scent, I knew I had found an excellent product. It leaves your skin soft and supple, and if you forget to tone or moisturize, your skin doesn't feel like tight leather. I use the Citrus Facial Cleanser along with the Wild Lettuce Toner and Carrot Lotion, and I get compliments on my skin all the time.This cleanser is awesome! I have tried several and this seems to work best for my skin. Not drying or oily.When I first put this cleanser on my face, it wasn't what I expected. It didn't lather, and it felt greasy. But, wow, I fell in love with its' citrus scent. It removed my mascara, cleaned my face, and left it feeling smooth and soft. Not greasy at all! It's fragrance alone is enough to make this a favorite of elmosnaturals, but the product is so much more! this stuff is amazing. it can be rather sticky if it's not used properly. it says on the back to apply to face and use a washcloth to get it off. the washcloth acts as an exfoliator and the orange face wash comes right off, leaving your skin soft and sweet.
