Reddit mentions of Burt's Bees Face Cleanser for Sensitive Skin - 6 Ounce, Pack of 1

Products I love!

• Alterna Bamboo Brilliance Cream. I put about a 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of this in my hair before blowdrying it, and the results are stellar! Smooth, soft, shiny. I’ve been using this for years per the recommendation of the woman who cut my hair when I lived in a different state, and I continue to be so impressed with it. Also, I don’t know if it’s just my hair texture, but if I put this in my hair and then blowdry it straight, it straightens out very well. I don’t even own a flatiron because this stuff + a blowdryer gets the job done.
  
  
• Kenra Platinum Silkening Gloss. This is one of the most highly lauded products over on r/redpillwives, thanks to QB. I haven’t had men trailing me in stores because of the smell, but I’ve been really impressed with the product! If I use this to blowdry my hair straight, I can usually get two “down” days and an updo day out of it! Definitely recommend.
  
  
• Coochy from Pure Romance. I will never tidy up my lady zone with anything else. This stuff is so good, my friend’s gynecologist recommended it.
  
  
• Pretty much anything from CeraVe, but namely this moisturizer (also known as “CeraVe in the tub), this cleanser, and this sunscreen/moisturizer combo.
  
  
• Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant. My skin is smoother when I’m using this regularly. Plus this is such a good brand.
  
  
• Snow River Wood Oil. OKAY HEAR ME OUT. When I’m regularly oil cleansing with this stuff, my face is baby soft. It’s non-comedogenic, so it won’t break you out, and it’s a very neutral oil, so most skin types do well with it (but ALWAYS patch test). It’s also crazy cheap!
  
  Products I didn’t love
  
  
• Burts Bees Face Cleanser for Sensitive Skin. There was nothing wrong with this product, per se… it was just unremarkable. I didn’t really notice a difference.

I'm not sure what country you're in or what Shoppers is, but here's what I use (and I'm a guy, if that matters):

Burt's Bees Sensitive Facial Cleanser (In the shower)

Burt's Bees Sensitive Daily Moisturizer (After shower/in the morning)

Simple Micellar Cleanser (In the evening/before bed)

Burt's Bees Sensitive Night Cream (Before bed)

All of those are soap free. I used to have a horribly oily face into my late 20's (I'm 30 now), and I only recently discovered this solution and it works incredibly well. As others have said, using soap (or products with soap in them) strips your skin of the oils it needs to naturally block out contaminants. Since I switched to these soap-free moisturizing products my skin looks far less oily and I have fewer breakouts. It's been a complete game changer for me.

Most major retailers sell the Burt's Bees brand, but I'm not sure about the Simple brand.

Edit: If you use nothing else, at least get the first one I linked to (the sensitive face wash), that's the one that's made the biggest difference for me even before I started using the other moisturizers in tandem with it. Good luck!

FTR I switched from Purity to the Burt's Bees Sensitive cleanser this one and it works just as well for my neurotic sensitive skin.

I tend to use coconut oil! But remember to always spot test, as what works for some causes breakouts for others. The damage is more of a long term thing -- so chances are you won't see any damage right away, but might pop up if you continue using it once your skin matures.

If your skin feels too tight after washing with salicylic acid (as mine does!), try using a cream cleanser. The tight feeling you get after washing with salicylic acid is essentially your face being stripped of oil, which provides the skin with it's elasticity, and your body will naturally compensate by producing even more oil, sometimes leading to an even oilier complexion. So something less stripping/more gentle, is a solution for some. In the past I've found 2 drugstore brands that worked for me:

Alternatively, there's this (which I'm currently using)which is great but is a little more pricey:

I would recommend checking out /r/skincareaddiction, and maybe potentially looking into OCM (oil cleansing method). While I haven't personally tried it, I hear good things, and the lovely ladies and gentlemen at that subreddit are filled with good info.

The creases around your eyes are more likely to get oily/sweaty. Eye primer is a little bit denser and stickier upon application, and is meant to holder down (loose/powdery) eyeshadows. I find that it also makes applying gel liner a little easier. A little tube of it was around $7, and so far it's lasted me 4, going on 5, months. Face primer is a little more diluted, and it great as a lighter coverage under foundation. Note: I don't use face primer very often so someone much more knowledgable might give a better answer!

Also, I highly recommend this gel liner if you're on a budget:

http://www.amazon.com/Maybelline-Studio-Lasting-Eyeliner-Blackest/dp/B0030HNNS6/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1377709666&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=maybelline+ey+studio

I've never used a high end liner, but this stuff is great! Lasts all day and it come with a little brush! :) If you have trouble getting the desired line you want, remember that you can take a q-tip and erase out.

Hope that helps!

I just went through my drug cabinet and accounted for some stuff and where I might be getting them

I have

• skin cleanser (it's the CVS generic that compares to clean and clear, running out and might get a burts bees brand from school).
  
• CP (have 2 refills from the pharmacy but lasts for a while)
  
• BP scrub? 10% (It's not the cream at the lower concentration but it's what I got for now, there might be something at school and I can start looking tomorrow)
  
  I don't have
  
  
  
• facial moisturizer (I might be able to get some at school, everything they sell is burts bees brand which I hear is good)
  
• BP 2.5% Cream (I don't think I can get this one at school and It will be a while before I go to the drug store again.)
  
  I still have some questions though, What will be my routine when I run out of CP? and do I mix the BP and CP when I wake up? you said that BP and CP work well together but I am not sure if you want me to mix them or not, I'm just being careful.
  
  And I just used the honey and oatmeal facial scrub. it has granules and my face is now smoother and the rough spot on my forhead just shrunk. So this stuff has some use but I am not sure exactly what it is, a cleanser or a moisturizer judging from what I see defined on amazon and on the label.
  
  Will all this get rid of the red scarring on my face? I know these things take time but I want to know for sure. From now on I'm going to not scrub so hard and not irritate the skin, plus wait an hour after applying this stuff to see if exactly how much acne related irritation is there. The redness is getting lighter and lighter but takes up lots of regions of my skin still.

I want to preface this by saying that I received a full-size free sample of this stuff as a member of the BzzAgent program, but as part of the BzzAgent program I am required to disclose that anytime I talk about the product and also be completely honest when I discuss the product. Edit: Also, since the BzzCampaign for this product is closed, I'm not benefitting in any way from telling you about this stuff.

And I LOVE this stuff. Facial cleansers - including a fair few already listed in the comments here - always make me break out worse than just washing my face with water and a clean washcloth, but that leaves a lot of oil behind. This stuff is super mild, not even technically a soap, more of a cold cream, but it's a wonderful wash and I've found that after about three days of using this in a row in the shower at night my face was much less oily. This is definitely something I plan on continuing to purchase once my full-size sample runs out.

TLDR: Burt's Bees Sensitive facial Cleanser with Cotton Extract. <3 <3
