Burt's Bees Natural Cleanser Soap Bark and Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream – 1 x Tube 170 gramsCompact by Design (Certified by Amazon)

I have used this product once daily for 6 months before writing this review. I am not loyal to many products, but this is one I now stock up on. It is lovely and creamy, it doesn’t lather up. I just massage it into my face, it leaves your skin with a lovely fresh tingly feeling - then remove with a hot wash cloth. It removes all traces of make up and if you gently spread it over your eye lids and under your eyes in the morning wash, the lovely tingly feeling really wakes up your tired eyes. It has never stung my eyes. I suffer from SAD, so mornings can be particularly painful and this gives me a much needed wake up boost and reduces puffiness. Gentle, natural and invigorating for morning use, my skin glows. Can’t find any fault with it and the price is very reasonable (cheaper on amazon!). One tube lasts me about 6 weeks, using it once daily. I use a 5p size blob each time.

Whilst I like to make a lot of my own cleansers and creams, I can't deny that some of Burt's Bees products (especially the cleansers) outperform what I can make myself, especially if you suffer with anything other than perfect skin. Things like soap bark being fantastic natural cleansers great at minimising oil production are not items I can source myself (unfortunately)I have oily spot prone skin and to minimise dead skin buildup I give myself a facial once a week. I use this as the first cleansing step. It is fantastic, I cannot stress it enough. The smell is beautiful, it doesn't smell like mint at all, it smells like sherbet. If my eyes were closed I would probably want to eat it. A small bit goes a long way, use it sparingly. It also contains witch hazel which is a great astringent and useful in reducing acne.There are a lot of comments that say it burns. The only sensation I feel after using this is one of deep clean and calm. My face feels lovely and fresh. But then I only use this once a week, perhaps these commenters are using this everyday, I wouldn't recommend using it daily as it is a 'deep' cleanser and may strip a lot of your skins natural oils away if used daily. Maybe once or twice a week is best.Edit - I realise where the comments regarding burning come from. If you leave the mask on your face for more than a few minutes, you will get a more intense 'tingling' sensation. But I think this is just the menthol as when I wash the mask off, my face isn't red or inflamed and the tingling sensation goes away pretty quickly.

This is my 3rd purchase and I continue to love it. Following the instructions I apply it to my face and it cleanses your skin amazingly with a little tingle.Yes it's quite thick but lathers nicely.. Just avoid the eyes or you might get a slight sting.

It does work that's the most important thing however the menthol is a bit stingy and for greasy skin you need to use it twice and when u do u feel the menthol. My recommendation is dermalogica clay cleanser of course it's much more expensive but much much better results. I used it daily and this cream made my skin feel funny. Dermalogica clay used daily and I feel fresh and clean. Get this if you have greasy skin occasionally not as the norm.

I suffer from sensitive skin that varies from dry to oily; I use a separate cleanser and toner once a day to truly remove impurities but like to have a facewash for use in the shower. After trying various brands of so-called sensitive face washes which all promise to gently deep clean, I was still suffering from irritated skin and it would always feel very tight afterwards.Hail the revolution that is Burt's Bees Soap Bark and Chamomile Deep Cleansing Creme! The smell is divine, it's like rubbing a Refresher bar on your face! It smells of lemon sherbet and my mouth waters every time I use it. The consistency is thick and creamy, and you don't need to use much. It makes the skin tingle, similar to products that contain mint and/or tea tree, but it's a pleasant sensation that creates that deep-clean feel.Afterwards, my skin feels clean, pampered and very soft - I don't even need to use moisturiser which is rare! My face isn't irritated, it feels soothed - and I feel fresh and imagine I'm glowing after using this!

This is a lovely cleanser, cleans the face well, I sometimes use it as a mini mask. I like the clean soft feels it leaves. I don't rinse it off with water, unless in the shower, if I'm just washing my face, I wipe with a flannel and warm water. Lasts well.

Lovely product good for dry skin.

Really disliked the strong sickly sweet smell others have likened to 'refresher' sweets. I find it really nauseating. As it said removes make up, I expected that to include eye make up, like Liz Earles Cleanse and Polish I usually use. When I did, it burned my eyelids and made my eyes smart. I have never had any problem like this with other products. Then I read the packaging and it says to not use around the eyes. So I have to use another product to remove eye make up, but even then the menthol in the product still makes my eyes smart. I don't think I can even persevere to use the tube up. I love other burts bees products but this one is not for me and is misleading re removing make up.
