Pros:

-pimples shrink overnight if you apply this on a clean face before bed.

-prevents acne scarring.

-It's natural.

Cons:

-the packaging is horrible: sometimes nothing will come out of the bottle, then sometimes it spills.

-doesn't help acne in the long run.

-extremely tiny bottle

For the record, I am reviewing Burt's Bee's Targeted spot treatment from their Natural Acne Solutions Line. The tiny little 0.26 fl oz bottle. When my mom first bought me the bottle a couple of months ago, I stared at it and wondered how the heck this thing was supposed to help me. It was a liquidy, somewhat oily looking substance, and it spilled out of the bottle. But it worked amazingly. Big fat pimples dramatically reduced overnight, and there was no scarring left behind. If I squeezed any blackheads, I could always cleanse the area and put this on, and there would be no scarring or marks afterwards. The problem is, it's so tiny! My whole face was covered with acne (tiny acne, not big, painful blemishes) and I would try to cover my face in a thin layer of this. I ended up going through three bottles in three months. It works well, but it's not for someone who has tons of acne. It'll work better for someone who only gets a spot here and there. So yeah, it works, but it's very tiny and so it's almost the equivalent of going out and buying a really expensive product, because this would end up costing you about $100 per year if you used it daily (or nightly). But I had to give it four stars, because the product itself just works so well.

Pros:

This stuff makes my skin feel like a freaking baby's butt. It's organic and does what it is said to do.

Cons:

At first, the face wash takes you by surprise. The citrus-like smell is not what you'd expect; neither is the sensation that your face has been slapped awake (in a good way, of course). Beware that this product, like many others, causes dryness.

Great stuff. It works well with oily, fair skin and takes away some of the redness. Burt's Bee's products work differently; some of their acne treatments may not work well with your face. I am, dare I say it, eternally pink in the face and paper white everywhere else. I hate it. I used their purifying gell cleanser. OMG. This stuff is AMAZING. Try it out. If its not for you, find out why and get a treatment that is right for you.

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:

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:

got rid of my acne quickly!

Cons:

face is a little dry.

Both of these i assume are from this. I'm using a few and only one other is for acne in general, other ones are for dryness, blackheads, etc. but after about a week of this, my face has hardly any acne. I love this product.

Pros:

Smoother skin and smaller pores in a really short time

Cons:

I don't like the smell of the body lotion, but the facial stuff doesn't bother me.

I've been using the Radiance day and night creme, eye creme and orange cleaner as well as the pomegranet aging serum. The orange cleaner is not my favorite, but I cannot rave enough about the Radiance cremes. My face has way less breakouts and my pores seems to be incredibly, noticeably smaller. My skin seems firmer and softer. I love it. I would like to find a cleanser I like better and try a toner. I think that might help with the breakouts that I have left.

Pros:

for spot treatment....acne solutions dries up pimples fast! i also apply this to my whole face once every two weeks and from the effects of salicylic acid i have been able to shed my dry skin problem...especially the winter dry skin problem.

Cons:

the smell isn't the best but COME ON PEOPLE...it works so I'm not ABOUT to complain!

I've been around the block with acne. I've suffered with acne since I was 22 and am now my late 40's. Try BB Acne Solutions! I love it! EXCELLENT for spot treatment! Pimples heal in days verses weeks and months. Also, my face has a much healthier glow. I have tried VERY expensive brands bought at department stores and from my plastic surgeon (I've had a lot of skin cancer) along with many peels and honestly...this has worked the best. This is the MOST affordable product out there with such amazing results. Remember...more is not better though...use this sparingly as you don't want to strip ALL of your natural oils away. Also note that we all have different reasons for suffering from acne...if this product isn't your solution...don't blame the product...it may simply not work for you particular problem.

Pros:

Gentle enough, won't peel or dry skin.
Easy to use

This product worked REALLY WELL for my sister, she used EVERYTHING out there natural and not natural including Proactiv. If you notice that it gives you worse acne its because its cleaning out ALL your pores.Once it does this it will begin to clear. She used the COMPLETE system. It didn't work for me. I had never had acne until now, I;m 22 and have kinda bad acne. I started using it soon after I got the acne and I noticed a really big difference in my overall skin texture and complexion and feel. My skin feels soft, pores are small and no white or blackheads. However, my acne is still there.Ive been using it for about 2 months now and although she keeps saying and I believed her that its still clearing out my skin. I cant take it anymore. I got a pimple on my face where I had never had acne before so I ordered proactiv just now, I felt good about it but there are sssooooo many bad comments on here about it maybe I should of tried something else. Good thing it only cost 10 dollars.lol. I hope it works.

Pros:

Works well, natural ingredients.

Cons:

Price can be high for the quantity.

I really like the garden tomato soap, it can be a little over-drying so I want to alternate with another one like the orange or poppy seed one in the future. The toner was too drying, I would say start with the soap first, then if more is needed try the toner. The blemish stick is my must-have secret weapon against acne!!! After having to use ProActiv's disgusting white mask this was fantastic, it works just as fast if not better, smells better and it's clear so I can put it on twice a day and not have to worry about looking like I have calamine spots all over my face! I love this company and will support however I can!

Pros:

Smell

Cons:

Fast results

I love the spot treatment! I have tried several cleansers and spot treatments but every time one pimple go's away it seems like another one would appear and I could never keep my face free of acne. As soon as I started using the burts bees line I saw results over night and I can't remember the last time my face looked this good.
