Burt's Bees Blemish Stick — 

It has been years since I've experienced teenage skin problems so when a container of Doctor Burt's Herbal Blemish Stick came in a basket of Burt's Bees products I set it aside.  About a month ago I noticed a few breakout spots around my shoulders.  I was perplexed and wondered where they had come from.  Although I never found out the cause of the breakout I did remember the Blemish Stick I'd squirreled away.  I was pleasantly surprised to see that the "stick" was not a stick at all but a little glass vial with a roll on applicator that comes covered with a screw on top to keep everything neat and clean.

The first ingredient of the product is alcohol which helps dry up the breakout spots but somehow doesn't over-dry.  The addition of tea tree oil as well as other natural herbal oils gives the product a boost for healing  but has a definite smell. 

Bottom Line:

The blemish stick worked overnight on my skin problems which I found hard to believe. In my opinion the fact that it does work cancels out any negative smell.  I don't know how the product will work on major acne plagued skin but for the occasional zit is a small miracle.

I was surprised how fast it worked for me. I put it on before I went to bed and could see a difference overnight. I hope it works just as fast for you.

I have been searching the universe trying to find something that works quickly. There is one spot on my chin that continues to break out and I haven't found a product that could tackle it yet. Maybe this would do the trick.
