I have to admit. I have never once tried Burt’s Bees products. They are always on the high end of cost and I am always looking for a good deal. I know, every one tells me “Some times it has to cost more to get a better product”. And while my Doctor told me to use Aveno (which is kind of high if you ask me too) I thought I would give Burt’s Bees® Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin a try.
First I tried the Burt’s Bees® Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin Face Cleanser. It comes in a nice sized (6 oz) tube that is sold for $9.99. This soap-free cream cleanser is clinically proven to moisturize sensitive skin while gently cleansing away dirt, oil and make-up without over drying or causing redness. Distinctly formulated with softening Cotton Extract to help skin replenish its outer layer and minimize the effects of potential irritants such as harsh soaps or cleansers, it also moisturizes with Rice Extract and soothes with Aloe. Naturally gentle and skin-friendly for daily use, it’s what every sensitive product should be.
~~Softens and helps replenish skin’s outer layer with Cotton Extract
~~Gently removes dirt, oil and make-up without over drying or causing redness
~~Formulated with Quillaja and Yucca Extracts to help remove impurities without stripping essential moisture
~~Fragrance-free and hypo-allergenic
~~Allergy-tested and dermatologist-tested
Sounds pretty good doesn’t it?
We (me an my 6 year old who has very sensitive skin) tried the Face Cleanser first, as per directed on the bottle. The tube is easy to squeeze. The Cleanser looks like toothpaste and feels like icing. It does not have a smell at all. It is very smooth! Not lathery at all like a soap, more like a lotion. It did take a bit of washing to get it all off. Who knows, maybe we used too much, it is our first time after all :-). After washing and drying our faces, we would tell a noticeable softness to our skin and it felt smooth.
Then I tried out the Burt’s Bees® Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin Daily Moisturizing Cream. It comes in a neat white pump bottle with a lid. I really like the design; it is easy for travel and for home. The Daily Moisturizing Cream cost $14.99. Clinically proven to moisturize sensitive skin all day without causing redness or irritation, this nourishing day cream is formulated with softening Cotton Extract to help skin replenish its outer layer and minimize the effects of potential irritants such as harsh soaps or cleansers. All while Rice Extract moisturizes and Aloe soothes your skin. Naturally gentle for daily use, it’s what your sensitive skin has been waiting for.

The pump is fairly easy to use, the Moisturizing Cream has about the same consistency as the Cleanser. It is easy to apply, a little will go a long way. It blends in nicely and you do not feel an icky layer that some Moisturizing Cream’s have. It has a very pleasant, light sent of cinnamon! Which I was surprised, but every one in the house agreed it smelled like cinnamon.
I was very pleased with both the Burt’s Bees® Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin Face Cleanser and Burt’s Bees® Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin Daily Moisturizing Cream. I would use it again, I would recommend it to my friends and I will for sure be buying it. This just proves to me that “some times” you do have to spend more to get a better product. And just a note, I think these 2 products have a lot of life in them. They go a long way.

My goal starting Central Texas Mom was sharing what Central Texas has to offer, with the world. Providing local moms a way to learn about new business, events and eateries in the area. And also giving my family the fun opportunities to enjoy things that we wouldn't typically have the chance to enjoy. Thank you for following us though the years on our adventures and here is to many more adventures to come.
