Customer Reviews of Tea Tree and Parsley Blemish Stick .30 fl. oz.
Customer Review: Mixed results
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm still a little up in the air over this product. I have suffered from acne on my chin (sometimes cystic) as well as very sensitive skin for the past 15 years. Antibiotics, Accutane, prescription ointments, over the counter products and Proactiv have all had little to no effect. Recently I had a big breakout that spread to my cheeks as well. My usual ointments were having no effect and since I've been trying to switch to all natural products, I picked up this blemish stick. I like the smell - it's pungent but very natural/herbal. After one use, I woke up the next morning and my acne had significantly dried up. However, after my initial breakout started to fade, I kept getting little whiteheads, which is unusual for me, and some dry spots that wouldn't go away. Much better than large pimples, but a nuisance all the same. I have continued to use this product whenever I feel a zit coming on. So far, it has kept the big breakouts at bay. I think the small whiteheads and dry spots may be due to my sensitive skin reacting to this product. I would recommend it to anyone who is frustrated with other anti-acne products. It's definitely worth a try!Customer Review: Feels greasy, smells icky, and may not do you any good
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm no cosmetic expert. In fact I have absolutely zero interest in cosmetics (and don't even wear them) so you know I'm not someone who buys beauty products for fun and for the novelty of it. But I live in the desert where the dry air desiccates your skin so I sometimes have to pick up product for skin care. I got attracted to the Burt's Bees products via their cute and creative in-store displays and then ending up trying a wide range of their products.
I have an additional problem when it comes to beauty products: my face is always oily and prone to break-outs. So I gave this product one cautious try. The other reviewers are right: it has an icky smell. Plus it has a greasy feel.
I wouldn't recommend this. Take it from someone who knows blemishes (I assume they're talking about acne here). Don't put a questionable, and somewhat greasy feeling herbal substance on your break-outs. Go to the drugstore and get yourself an inexpensive, non-prescription tube of benzoyl peroxide instead.
Customer Review: A Godsend
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this product since I was 13 (now 19) and it's never failed me for a quick solution to breakouts. My latest bottle says "Burt's Bees Outdoor Blemish Stick," and I can't find the exact same one here on Amazon, but I assure you - they're the same.
I've been dealing with a really odd breakout on my neck. I think it has something to do with my laundry detergent, because it's right where the neck of my shirt is. Anyways, I'm on Retin-A and two other acne medications, so I've been avoiding any other products for that past year, but I REALLY needed to use the Blemish Stick. I put it on the area on a Sunday night after washing my face and the next morning it was completely smooth. I'd say 90% of the inflammation was gone, and now, two days later, it's completely healed.
The Blemish Stick dries blemishes incredibly well, which is why moisturizer is important the following day.
It's perfect. The price is steep, but it's better than a $250 tube of Retin-A.
Customer Review: Way underrated
Summary: 5 Stars
An warning right off - I do not have "extremely troubled" skin (probably because I wash and wash!). But I do still suffer from plenty of occasional breakouts. I decided to pick this up when I'd become impressed with all other Burt's Bees products I'd come across. I had a few icky areas, rubbed on some of the blemish stick, and in only a few HOURS I returned to the mirror to see the area beginning to heal, and heal beautifully.
The negatives - the roller ball that you use to apply it doesn't roll very easily for some reason. I usually have trouble getting it started so have to work it on the back of my hand. The smell is also not pleasant at all, somewhat like licorice. But I just put a lotion on over it to cover it up and it's not too bad. Also, this will not work on any areas that aren't full-blown blemishes yet. (It doesn't seem to prevent a breakout, only heal it.)
Overall, I'm a very satisfied customer.
Customer Review: would buy again

i've been using this on and off since i got it a couple of months ago but recently i've been using it every day for blemishes on my face. it doesn't dry out my skin and although pimples don't disappear right away i've noticed they seem to be healing faster than usual.
it comes in a cute little stick with a ball applicator for easy application--perfect for if you want to just bring it with you on the go.
as for the smell, i actually really like the smell of herbal-ey things. some people may find it difficult to stand because it's so strong but i like the smell of burt's bees products or any natural product for that matter. if you are more into smells like aroma therapy or soft fragrances then this isn't the product for you.
