Burt's Bees Radiance Night Cream, 2 Ounces/55gms

Where do I begin? Well...I'm in my 60s and I have dry skin. I have been searching for a cream that will absorb into my skin and actually keep it hydrated. Normally, the creams I have used (basically tried MANY over the years) absorb, but for some reason they dry out after a few hours. So, I wake up with dry skin or if I apply cream under my makeup during the day, as the day progresses my skin dries out. Well...this cream is truly different! I apply it at night and wake up with my skin still feeling hydrated. And under make up it lasts all day long with no problem! My skin feels soft and silky all day. Also, lines and wrinkles have definitely diminished. After a long cold winter living in a heated house with dry air my skin was extremely thirsty! This is exactly what it needed!NOW FOR THE BEST AND MOST AMAZING PART OF MY EXPERIENCE...(drum roll)...I have had a small patch of psoriasis on the back of my neck for several years. Basically, I've been treating it with cortisone to keep it calm. Well...the other night I was applying the Burt's Cream to my face, and the psoriasis patch on the back of my neck was itchy and burning, so instead of applying the cortisone, I decided to apply some Burt's Cream to the patch...guess what??? the next morning I woke up and IT WAS GONE! And it hasn't returned! I only used the Burts Cream on it ONCE! I am truly in shock...but the entire patch is GONE! I had to write this review because I know so many people struggle with psoriasis and I just want to share my experience. I don't know if it will work for other people, but it worked for me and I hope it will work for others too! After years of suffering with itch and burning, I finally have relief. And my skin on my face looks great! Thank you Burt and thank you Bees for Royal Jelly with all the goodness in it!

I am a 20-something trying to establish a good skincare routine to hopefully prevent wrinkles later on. I already have crow's feet and some other smile wrinkles but otherwise I was blessed with a really good complexion. My skin is a combo of dry and oily and I usually only break out (one or two pimples) because of hormonal imbalances. When I tried this cream, I didn't have super high expectations which was good because I would have been really disappointed. I know the brand is Burt's 'Bees,' and I know this cream has royal jelly but it made my face smell like a beehive. I personally wasn't a fan of the scent but that's just my personal preference and it wasn't too overpowering to the point where I wouldn't use it, so it might not bother you.I know sometimes when you try a new skin routine, you can break out a little bit. To be fair, I was trying out a couple different things at the same time (I know, not supposed to do that...) but my face broke out really really bad when I started using this cream. I had only had 2 cystic acne breakouts in my entire life before and this was the second worst one I'd ever had, and I rarely have a bad reaction when trying new products. I stopped using it while my skin cleared up and then tried again later to give it a second chance. Much better reaction the second time around. It's a little greasy but it absorbs nicely and it did moisturize really well and make my skin really soft. I didn't notice a difference in 'radiance' levels of my face, but overall I guess I'd say it's a decent product. Not sure if I'd buy this particular Burt's Bees cream (might try some others) again, but it seems to be fairly priced compared to some other night creams out there.

11-10-2011 Update:I have to admit it was quite difficult to find a good replacement for the Burt's Bees Night Creme(original formula), but after trying several brands in the past few months there were two that stood out above the rest.1.  La Roche-Posay Toleriane Riche Soothing Protective Facial Cream, 1.35-Ounce : This product is the closest to Burt's Bee's Night Creme(original formula) that I could find. In some ways, this product is superior(ie even thinner and lighter than burts bees and absorbs faster), but the cost is very high $21+ for 1.35oz. The ingredients in this product rates insanely well for being safe-to-use at EWG Cosmetic website, so if cost isn't an issue for you this product is definitely worth a try.2.  Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, 3.0 - Ounces Tube (Pack of 3) : This product is my recommended alternative. Although this product is not as fluid as the Burt's Bees Night Creme(original formula), it has all the essential characteristics: non-greasy, easy to apply, absorbs quickly, feels light on the skin, and no scent+++! Also, the ingredients in this product is rated very well(safe-to-use) at EWG Cosmetic Website. Lastly, I think it is important to note that the price is amazing!; Amazon sells the 3oz(3-pack) for only ~$16!. A lot of local stores carry this product, go try it out!Good luck!--------------------------------------------------------------------------End of 11-10-2011 UpdateI was very disappointed to find out that Burt's Bees had changed their Night Creme to a new formula while using almost identical packaging(I actually set the old and new packaging side-to-side to compare). I have enjoyed using Burt's Bees Night Creme for more than 3 years, but this new formula feels almost like a completely different product.Here is my comparison of Burt's Bees Night Creme Original vs New Formula:Original Formula:+ Non-Greasy+ Absorbs Very Quickly+ Feels light on the skin(texture of creme is almost water-like)+ Very light smell that fades away very quicklyNew Formula:- Greasy(does not feel good when applied on face)- Does not absorb quickly(probably because it's greasy)- Does not feel light(texture of creme feels thick and uneasy to apply)- An overly sweet & strong smell(personally I think the smell is very strong, unnaturally sweet, and an abomination)Conclusion:New improvements or additions to a product can be very beneficial, but it seems like Burt's Bees has changed this product completely. Burt's Bees has completely lost sight of the fundamental characteristics that makes this product unique, and even more disappointing is their decision to use the same packaging for a different product.

good.

くさい。私にとっては良い香りではなかった。ナイトクリームが欲しくって評価もいい方だったので頼んだが、香りのことは気にしていなかった。盲点だった。もう注文しない。
