Review: Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions Targeted Spot Treatment

Most of the natural blemish treatments use tea tree oil, and the Burt's Bees line is no exception. However, one of their targeted treatments also incorporates salicylic acid, which is found in many conventional acne treatments. This product is called the Natural Acne Solutions Targeted Spot Treatment.

Pros:
  • Similar to tea tree oil
  • Can help heal blemishes
  • Relatively gentle formula
  • Retail availability
  • Relatively inexpensive
Cons:
  • Does not come with an applicator
Summary:
This oil was a little bit tricky to apply, as it didn't come with an applicator. I tended to soak a cotton swab before application, as once I tried pouring it directly onto my face and accidentally ended up with some in my eye. However, using a swab wastes more than I'd like, so a roller applicator could be a nice improvement. The product has a light sting, but seems to be effective. It is more gentle than many conventional products, rating a fairly low 3 on the EWG Skin Deep database. If you're looking for a gentler acne treatment, this is a more natural option.

Also available on Amazon.com.
