I have been an Aveeno girl for quite some time, but did use a few Burt's Bees products from time to time. In fact, I love their lemon butter cuticle cream. I keep some in my car and apply it at least once every time I drive somewhere.
Anyway, about the new stuff! I have pretty sensitive skin. It can get very dry/red/splotchy, and I've struggled with eczema and psoriasis before. However, I still have oily skin at times, and without fail, I have an acne problem around that special time of the month! When I look for skin products, I want something that won't make my face feel like it's been scraped off with a harsh cleanser, but that also doesn't leave me with a greasy forehead later in the day.
I can say that so far, the Burt's Bees for Sensitive Skin seems to be a good fit for me.
The face wash is very creamy, and at first I thought I wouldn't like that. I guess I need to see something get foamy or scrubby to believe it's really working. But I guess that doesn't always fit with products for sensitive skin. Despite the Burt's Bees for Sensitive Skin not getting foamy, I do think it works just fine. It takes off makeup, oil, and dirt from my face, and comes off easily itself with just water. My face feels clean, but not squeaky-clean (read: dried up!) after using the face wash.
I've also used the facial moisturizer. I like the pump container it comes in. I have had to learn to use less than other kinds of face lotions I used before: a little goes a long way with this lotion. But that little bit leaves my face feeling good and moisturized. It's impossible not to feel some greasiness by the end of a hard day at work, but I think that on the days I've used Burt's Bees for Sensitive Skin, the greasy forehead situation is just a little bit better. I think the lotion protects my face from not only getting too dry, but also from being too oily later in the day. The acne situation might also be a little better, but I'll have to update you on that after trying it for a couple more months!
The verdict: if you have sensitive and/or dry skin, or even combination skin, give Burt's Bees Natural Solutions for Sensitive Skin a try!
