December 10, 2007, 7:31 am I have skin that is somehow simultaneously oily and flaky, so finding products is a nightmare. This cleanser feels oily out of the tube, but it does a terrific job without leaving any residue. It leaves my skin feeling revived! It is the only product I can use without having to immediately run to grab the toner and moisturizer. Plus it's all natural, so it couldn't really get much better! December 10, 2007, 7:31 am

    The absolute best cleanser for hard-to-please skin

    by superkelli (10 reviews)
    I've tried many, many facial cleaners in my time, and nothing has come close to Burt's Bees Orange Essence Facial Cleanser.

April 24, 2008, 11:23 am I've tried many, many facial cleaners in my time, and nothing has come close to Burt's Bees Orange Essence Facial Cleanser. It has the best smell ever, like all- natural fresh squeezed orange juice, and does amazing things to my skin! I've got skin that is rarely the same two days in a row- it's combination oily and nothing else has made it quite so radiant. It's a boost of moisture without overdrying, and doesn't leave a residue. Most people with oily skin try to battle it with harsh, overdrying soaps, but that just makes your skin produce more oil.This soap give me clean, fresh moisture that my skin soaks in before I'm finished towl drying! Removes makeup and best of all contains no harmful ingredients that most skin care lines do! I love this product, and would recommend it for any type of skin. April 24, 2008, 11:23 am

The texture is a bit odd to me, but I've gotten used to it.

    a fave facial cleanser

    by jenstar313 (46 reviews)
    usually i favor a quick wipedown with a prepackaged cloth make-up remover for my minimal pre-bedtime routine. but when my face is feeling a bit dry, i make the time for this facial cleanser. i agree w/ the other review that somehow, this magically works on my combo skin (oily t-zone but still dry cheeks and occasionally f... December 12, 2007, 9:34 am usually i favor a quick wipedown with a prepackaged cloth make-up remover for my minimal pre-bedtime routine. but when my face is feeling a bit dry, i make the time for this facial cleanser. i agree w/ the other review that somehow, this magically works on my combo skin (oily t-zone but still dry cheeks and occasionally forehead) and leaves soft glowing skin all around. it seems counterintuitive, since it does feel greasy right out of the tube. but i learned the trick is to rinse gently with a wet washcloth to wipe every last bit off! and the scent is so fresh, you can't help feeling squeaky clean!

    Liked the old formula

    by KBLang (38 reviews)
    This was my HG for years until they changed the formula a couple years back -- went from the metal tube to the current incarnation. It still smells lovely, but it just got too oily for me. Just not the same. :-( I moved to the soap bark cleanser and have liked that, but I do miss the glow of my old orange cleanser. May 24, 2008, 8:41 am

    Good and bad....

    by sunshine2 (86 reviews)
    The good part is the smell. I love the smell of citrus and this is quite strong and lovely. The bad part is that it didn't do anything positive for my skin. To be fair my skin is quite oily and tends to breakout so I may not be the best judge of this. May 14, 2008, 6:46 pm

    Excellent cleanser

    by MyDarlin (6 reviews)
    Unlike traditional cleansers loaded with harsh detergetents, this one is made with all-natural/pure ingredients as with all Burt's products. The smell is essence of orange X10. It does feel greasy when you apply it, but amazingly it rinses right away and leaves only clean, moisturized feeling. March 2, 2008, 9:37 am

    too oily for me

    by hawaii (20 reviews)
    I really enjoyed the smell but that was about it. I found this product to be too thick and oily for my skin (combo/oily). I would recommend trying this if you have normal to dry skin. And if you like something that foams you should not try this, it kinda felt like spreading on vaseline on my face. February 15, 2008, 12:30 pm
