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.

I have very sensitive skin and have been prone to breakouts since I was about 13 (I’m now in my mid-20s). I have tried every acne treatment under the sun, including prescriptions, and have always found that after a few uses, my skin gets red and raw and incredibly dried out. On a whim, I bought this blemish stick and found that it works wonders on larger pimples/breakouts. It doesn’t leave my skin too dry, and I can even apply it 2-3 times a day for it to work faster. After the first use, I noticed that my skin was clearer!
The smell is a bit strong, but I don’t find that it’s any stronger than other acne treatments…and at least it smells like herbs rather than chemicals!

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!

I don’t really suffer from terrible acne, but every once in a while I need to hide the mountain forming on my face. This was given to me in a Burt’s Bees gift basket, so I whipped it out and rubbed some on, not thinking that it would actually do anything. Lo and behold, the pimple had dried up the very next day, flattened out and clearly shrunk. It works consistently, and I actually like the smell.

I have used this product for about a year, sparingly. I have frequent breakouts and have found this to definitely help on those really bad painful pimples! It does sting very slightly but to me thats a good sign that it is working! I dont mind the smell, I actually enjoy it. I have read reviews about the roller ball not working very well… I seem to have the opposite problem. Sometime the one I have leaks too much when I apply and drips down my face.
After I apply to a pimple for a day it stops hurting and the redness greatly diminishes… I believe it really does help my pimples heal faster and not many things do especially for the price!
Also I am pregnant so I am able to use it on my face which is HUGE!
