Burt's Bees Sensitive

When this BzzCampaign first came up, I thought, "Yeah, why not?  I like some of Burt's Bees stuff."  Plus, I'd been looking for a new facial cleanser, since the stuff I had was quite capable of cleaning my face, but despite being an exfoliating cleanser, left my face as dry as it always was.

My BzzKit came in the mail about a week and a half ago, containing the BzzGuide, as usual, the Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin Facial Cleanser, the Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin Daily Moisturizer, a bunch of little daily moisturizer samples, and some $1.00 off coupons.

While I hoped that the cleanser and moisturizer would be beneficial, I didn't hold out any hopes.  I had tried a million different things (maybe not a million, but a lot) to try to keep my face from drying out.  I'd mostly relied on heavier and heavier moisturizers.  They all worked to some degree, but if I ever forgot...

So, I put the cleanser in the shower and the moisturizer where I would remember to use it after the shower.

The next morning, I used the cleanser.  Oh my!  It is the most luxurious cleanser I have ever tried, even considering I've had a few facials at spas.

I hadn't bothered to read the ingredients, but I thought I detected witch hazel.  Sure enough, that miraculous plant had an extract in there.  I use witch hazel as an astringent sometimes, and it works wonders on bug bites.  I also notice that the label of both the cleanser and the moisturizer features cotton extract.  I had initially dismissed this as a marketing ploy, but if it really is a major ingredient in this cleanser, it's wonderful.

Pleased with this experience, I decided that I would definitely continue to use this product, at least, beyond the BzzCampaign.  I even had to tell my hair stylist, who suffers from eczema, that she MUST try this.

I followed up with the moisturizer.  I can't say that I'm as enamored of the moisturizer as I am with the cleanser.  Not by a long shot.  It seems perfectly fine, but that's it.  I will continue to use it to see if there's any synergistic effect with the moisturizer.  I'll probably do a trial with the cleanser and my usual moisturizer to see if there's a difference.  If not, for such a small amount of cleanser in the packaging (1.8 oz), I'll probably stick with my usual, less-than-expensive moisturizer.  I'll follow up with my results on that, later.
