As a member of BzzAgent, I was offered the opportunity to try and Bzz about Burt's Bees Sensitive Facial Cleanser and Burt's Bees Sensitive Daily Moisturizer Cream, which are hypo-allergenic, fragrance free, and made with 99% natural ingredients. Check out Burt's Bees Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin on Facebook!
The first thing I noticed when I received the products was that the cleanser is a nice size at 6oz, but the moisturizer is quite a bit smaller at 1.8 oz. They have nearly no smell, just a slight hint of something that is indistinguishable to me, it's possibly cotton, as that is the image depicted on the bottles, but it is so slight a scent I can't be sure.
The Burt's Bees Sensitive Facial Cleanser is a wonderful soap- free cleanser. It contains natural extracts such as: Quillaja, from the bark of the Soapbark tree- to provide a natural foaming lather, Yucca- for cleansing, Cotton- to soften, Rice- to moisturize, and Aloe- to soothe.
At $9.99, I can honestly say that this is one of the best, affordable, facial cleansers I've used. It is right up there with the Mario Badescu cleansers I tried last month. It leaves your face feeling soft and smooth, but it did tend to dry my face out more so than the Mario Badescu products did, but that could also just be the weather changes we've had.
The Burt's Bees Sensitive Daily Moisturizing Cream is a great, thick moisturizer. Like the facial cleanser it too contains natural cotton, rice, and aloe extracts.
I love the packaging of this one! It has an easy to use pump top bottle with a lid, thus it is travel/ purse safe! I'm not usually a fan of thick moisturizers, especially for the day time, however this one won me over. It seems really thick when you first put it on, but it absorbs quickly and feels nice and light. It's a little more expensive at $14.99 and there is also a Burts Bees Sensitive Night Cream (which I didn't try) that is also $14.99, and probably a similar size. Biggest down side for me is it has no SPF, and it is so important to protect your face from sun damage!
For more info on these and other Burt's Bees Sensitive Skin Solutions, go to the Burt's Bees website or look for the products in a store near you!
My recommendations:
If you have extremely sensitive skin, and that is your only, or top concern, this is a great product for you! I would definitively recommend buying these products!
If your skin is only a little sensitive or you have other concerns (wrinkles, acne, etc), I would recommend using only the facial cleanser, and buying a moisturizer specifically to fit your other needs (which is most likely what I'm going to do, as I love the facial cleanser but I only use moisturizers with SPF).

As a member of BzzAgent, this campaign was to try Burt's Bees Sensitive Facial Cleanser and Burt's Bees Sensitive Daily Moisturizer Cream, and to Bzz about these products, by trying them out and sharing my HONEST opinion. I was sent full sized bottles of both products by BzzAgent.com but everything in this post is 100% my honest opinion!
