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!

I 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 quickly
New 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. I have tried a lot of night creams---expensive or inexpensive-When I tried this cream at first I thought it did not work. After a month of using it I really noticed a difference in the way my skin looked and the way it felt. Also my skin is very sensitive the older I get and I am 50+. I will break out so easy now so I have to be pickey with what I put on my skin. It is very thick and you only need a little bit for your face and neck.
This product is great-Cost 14.99@CVS---for 2ounces. Well worth the money

My husband picked this product for me as a Christmas gift. Night cremes at retail stores are very expensive and sometimes do not work as expected. Radiance night creme is a good replacement for those products. It leaves my face smooth and fresh by morning, providing moisture to help eliminate wrinkles and dryness. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting less dryness and smoother face and neck areas.Read Best Reviews of Burt's Bees Radiance Night Creme, 2-Ounce Jar Here
I love this night cream! It is perfect for my dry skin. I have been using this for almost 4 months now and have seen huge improvements in the texture of my skin. My only complaint is I am not a huge fan of potted creams as I prefer pumps however, this product is so nice I can't even dock it a star for packaging.Want Burt's Bees Radiance Night Creme, 2-Ounce Jar Discount?
