Pros:

I've had acne since puberty (28 now) and I've tried it all. Topical Prescriptions, Oral prescriptions, Proactiv, and half of the drug store aisle, but I have never had success like I have had with this product. I use the gel cleanser and moisterizer everyday; the scrub when I am done with the gym, and the spot treatment occasionally. Not only is my skin clear for the first time in my life, but it now glows with health (perhaps its the all natural thing -I am not really into that, just a bonu

Cons:

The scrub leaves a funny residue immediately after use. It made me nervous the first time I tried it, but the product works great. The spot treatment is a liquid which was different. The smell is fresh but it takes some getting used to.

I am now clear and GLOWING for the first time in my life. I look so much healthier. I've lurked on this site for over a year researching products to get my acne under control, and this is the first product that has made me feel the need to share my success. Try It. My full regimen: AM: Drink hot lemon water. Burt's Bees Gel Cleanser and moisterizer, spot treatment if needed (rarely, this stuff is awesome). PM (Spring, Summer, Fall): Burt's Bees Gel Cleanser and either their moisterizer or the Neutrogena Anti Aging / Anti Blemish Clear Up Cream, then if needed Clearasil Adult Acne Sulfer treatment on spots. PM (Winter): Neutrogena Anti Aging / Anti Blemish Scrub and Clear Up Cream. Clearasil Adult Acne Sulfer treatment on spots. I only use Neutrogena in winter (and occasionally in other seasons) because the AHA in the cleanser is too harsh with the sun for my fair, fair skin.

Pros:

Initially made my skin feel clean but not dry (healthy) and it's organic

Cons:

Made my skin terribly oily and after about a week of using it, many patches of whiteheads formed on my face

Not really worth it, I bought the burts bees acne solutions line because I believed it would be healthy for my skin but really just made it extremely oily and break out. The moisturizer seemed to be the worst as it was not light at all and didn't smell great.

Pros:

All Natural, smells good, and no chemical smell.

Cons:

I don't think it worked very well for me. I have combination skin and it didn't do much for the parts of my face that weren't oily.

Great product for some people and good all natural alternative, it just doesn't work for me.

Pros:

natural ingredients, smells good, and pretty much made all of my skin problems dissolve.

Cons:

NONE

I've had annoying acne ever since I was 12 and for a really long time I used ProActive which I now realize only made my skin worse. I switched to Aveeno for a while and that helped a lot so I decided to go one step further and try a natural product line. So I've been using Burts Bees for about a month now and I don't want to jinx it I think my skin problems are pretty much over. I use the peach and willowbark scrub as my cleanser. I love the way it smells. At first I was a little weirded out by the slight film it seems to leave behind but I haven't experienced any problems because of that. Actually I think it helps to not dry out my skin. I also use the herbal blemish stick which seems to be almost magical it's so effective. If I use it a few times a day on an "about to be" blemish then it goes away within a day. I also use vitamin e oil and petrolium jelly on dry spots at night and that helps keep me moisturized. I actually kinda like my skin now... w

Pros:

dont have as many pimples as before
makes skin feel fresh
is a full system

Cons:

spot treatment is running out fast but that could be my fault

Now its been about a week of using this product, and my skin has improved The only thing is im a really bad picker and the only big pimples that seem to still be there are the 4 that i picked at which is my fault, and majority of all the little things are barely there anymore which showed that the product is working, the box says give us 2 weeks so ill do another review at the end of these 2 weeks, so i have to say im very glad with the results so far!

Pros:

Using the Acne Cleanser for about 10 days and just added moisturizer. Almost immediate improvement of my skin without drying. Nice scent. This has been a miracle for my very bad regular breakouts. Amazing stuff!

Cons:

None

I've been using the acne line cleanser for about 10 days with my Clairsonic and my skin has cleared up almost completely. I had hormonal breakouts along my chin and almost regular breakouts on other areas of my face. I've been using this cleanser and PTR acne spot treatment and my face has almost completely cleared up. I just added the moisturizer that is part of the acne line and I'm also very pleased.

Pros:

ACNE SOLUTIONS SYSTEM
Reduces redness, makes skin look more healthy overall

Cons:

Fewer breakouts, but they were more severe

I used the system for just over two months. The first couple weeks, my moderate acne decreased and I noticed my skin appeared more "healthy" (more even, fewer blemishes). After about the third week though, if I was to breakout, my acne would be large, cystic acne that was painful. I continued for a few more weeks hoping that it was just clearing my skin of any bacteria, but the acne kept reappearing. I think the product could be good if you have light to moderate acne, but nothing worse. I have since switched to the Clinique Acne Solutions and just after a week of use, most of my acne has cleared up.

Pros:

Smells great and it's natural !!!!!!!!!
Skin feels fresh
reduces redness in no time at all

Cons:

when u first use it, it has a bit of a "kick" to it but it feels better over time so it is just a matter of using it and sticking to it

It works I don't have the worst acne but I like to look my best and I have been using this for 3 days and already I have like no red pimples it makes my skin feel light and fluffy = 3 I ave tried everything from home remides to sttore bought products I can't afford the expensive $40 cleanses so this is a good back up when i break out or just want to feel nice = )

Pros:

Smells nice, feels clean.

Cons:

Doesn't do much for acne.

I've been using a few products from the Acne Solutions line - the cleanser and spot treatment. I haven't had any cystic spots, whiteheads, or huge breakouts but my face is still very pimply and my blackheads are the same. If it seemed to be working for more people I would try the rest of the products in the line but I don't feel I should spend another $20 if I can try something new. Good for light acne but won't make a huge difference for troubled skin.

Pros:

Helps clear skin, makes it smooth and more even, definitely tightens pores, smells nice, feels nice, doesn't dry out my skin.

Cons:

Hard to find in UK, glass bottle.

This is the only toner I've ever used that has made a consistent difference to my skin. And I've tried hundreds. In fact, I had come to the conclusion that toners were a waste of time and money. I've changed my mind. First got it in a kit, as a gift, and had to hunt it down after a week of use as I was hooked. It's now well beyond the honeymoon phase and still working. My skin is a LOT better than it was, very clear and smooth.
