Tweet Burt's Bees Anti-Blemish Solutions UPDATE!

So i've been testing the cleanser and spot treatment from Burts Bees Anti-Blemish Solutions line for a few days now. To see how i got a hold of these products, and to view information about the whole line, click here! (Basically, i received them after being chosen to participate in a campaign from BzzAgent, which is a totally cool website that allows you to test and review products and then share it with the world!) You can view the full campaign on this page!


Anyways, i have been using the cleanser and spot treatment both morning and night for about 4 days now.. and i have to say, i am seeing improvements!

cleanser and spot treatment

Here are my first thoughts after using the cleanser and spot treatment on night #1.

Night 1 - Cleanser

opening cleanser

so liquidy!

toner test

- very liquidy, (which i definately did not expect, since it was supposed to be a gel cleanser, i expected a thicker consistency) as a result, the product came out way too fast, and i ended up having too much product in my hands

- strong medication smell, very overpowering - if any of you have tried some form of tea tree oil, you will know what im talking about.. i guess it proves that there is anti-blemish ingredients and that it should be working, but im a big fan of good smelling products and this is just not that great-smelling.. however, i do hope that i will get used to the smell like i did with my tea tree oil cleanser.

- foamed up to nice consistency

- felt very smooth on skin

- afterwards, (before moisturizer) my skin didnt feel overly dried, no irritation

- toner test - (using toner after to see how much the cleanser actually took off) pretty good! there is slight coloring but nothing too much which means this cleanser did a pretty good job of removing makeup and oil!

Night 1 - Spot treatment

- also has the same scent as the cleanser, very strong and more overpowering than cleanser

- tingly feeling when you apply
- can get a bit overwhelming at first, my eyes kept watering up when i applied it
- packaging is quite nice, comes out slowly so you dont spill

Thoughts after 4 days of usage

- i got used to the smell of the cleanser and it doesnt bother me that much anymore. however, the spot treatment still gets to me.. and my eyes still water..

- i also learned to foam up the cleanser slightly in my hands first in order to prevent it from slipping right off my hands and face

- my red spots and slight bumps previously noticeable before has started to fade. my skin feels smoother and looks slightly more evened.

- also noticed that my face is less oily during the day

-----------------------------

and finally... some pictures of before and after 4 days..... please be warned ahead of time that i am not wearing any makeup at all! this is after i have cleansed my face and put on the spot treatment....

before... and after...

before... and after... less red!

before... and after... less red again!

so there you have it.. thats after 4 days and i love how my red spots are finally decreasing in redness! its been something thats been bugging me for a long time now and im so happy to see it go :) the one thing i couldnt really test this pair on, was any full blown grown out zits....i mainly suffer from redness, small bumps and acne scarring from a long time ago so i can only tell you the results from those. however, if one of those gross pimples ever pop up, i will do another review to let you know how it works! imho though, i believe the spot treatment will work quite well against those nasty pimples! :D it just seems so strong.. haha but on my acne scarring, i dont think it did TOO much other than make it less red :)... anyways, i will try to post up a full review after using it for another week or so! hope this review helped :D

Tweet BzzAgent - Burt's Bees Anti-Blemish Solutions!

I recently joined a lovely community called BzzAgent, and after posting a few reviews and reading a couple of other people's reviews.. i got picked to join a campaign for Burt's Bees Natural Anti-Blemish Solutions! Naturally, i was soo excited and soo happy that i get to test out something from this line! Because school just started and i had been spending countless nights staying up late to catch up on readings, my skins been having slight breakouts in random spots... so i am really hoping this stuff will work!!

To be honest, i have only ever tried one Burt's Bees product.. and that was their pomegrante lip balm which i did quite like! I have heard a lot of good things about this brand, mainly because it is natural, but i will spend the next week or two testing out the products i received and then post a full review on if it worked for me or not :) Today's post will just be some information on the products i got.

What I received:

1. the Burt's Bees Nautral Anti-Blemish Solutions BzzGuide
2. one full-size of the Purifying Gel Cleanser
3. one full-size Targeted SPot Treatment

4. a stack of Coupons to share

(save $10 with a purchase of $14.97 or more on participating products)

Close up of the Daily Cleanser and the Spot Treatment

Coupons!! Im not sure if i can send these over the internet or not... but if anyone really really wants a coupon, i could probably mail it over (depending on where you live and how much it would cost!), just send me an email! I was also thinking of throwing a coupon into each of the prize packages as part of my giveaway since these dont expire till dec 31 anyways :)

anyways, here are some facts to get both you and me started! :D (click to enlarge)

Sounds good so farr :D

and here are the 4 products offered in this line.. i have the gel cleanser and the spot treatment, but the scrub sure sounds interesting! (click to enlarge!)

Im going to be using and testing these two products for the next week or so.. i'll try to keep you guys updated with weekly posts (if school allows me!) but i will for sure post a full review after i feel like i've tested it for long enough :) .. im actually pretty excited to test them out.. i really hope they work!!
