This review is for the Gel Cleanser & the Spot Treatment.
This stuff is the absolute BEST! It's great stuff. Between the Gel Cleanser & the spot treatment I haven't had a breakout in over a month (even during hormonal times). I do have normal skin, no acne but breakouts weren't uncommon for me.
I was recently given the chance to try out Burt's Bees' new line of natural acne solutions! Burt's Bee's new purifying gel cleanser is very light and washes off very easily.I've been a fan of burt's bees products for years. The natural aspect is one of the stand out reasons, and also because they're reasonably priced and work well. I've had problems with acne for years, mostly cystic, and now if it's going to happen, it's usually around that 'time of the month' when my hormones are off their rocker.
This cleanser was thinner in consistency then expected, more just liquid then a gel. But it smells amazing -- lemony -- and it has a nice lather and leaves the skin feeling great. It doesn't feel drying or like it stripped my skin bare like a lot of acne products can. Actually pretty moisturizing, as I don't feel the need to add a moisturizer like I usually would after washing my face.
I like using a combo of products with salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. I figure why go with one when you can hit potential break outs with both? This burt's bees cleanser is in the salicylic acid family, deriving it naturally from willow bark extract. It contains 1.0% Salicylic acid.
Also contains beet extract and evening primrose extract. It does not contain sulfates, parabens,phthalates or petrochemicals(as stated on the label).
I enjoyed the light, slightly lemony scent of the cleanser and my face felt clean and fresh.I was also given the opportunity to review Burt's Bees new targeted spot treatment! The Targeted Spot Treatment was very powerful.This natural acne spot treatment is clinically proven to reduce and improve the appearance of blemishes without irritating skin.

Meanwhile tea tree, calendula, yarrow and parsley extracts help soothe skin and reduce redness and Borage Extract promotes healthy skin resulting in clear and smooth skin, naturally. Dermatologist tested. Noncomedogenic.
