Burt's Bees - Herbal Blemish Stick

Burt's Bees product description:
This blemish stick contains 10 effective natural herbal ingredients including willowbark, nature's version of salicylic acid, which clarifies and gently exfoliates skin to clear pores and help prevent breakouts. Combined with tea tree and juniper oils, known for their antiseptic and astringent qualities, and calendula to reduce inflammation and redness, this concentrated formula keeps your skin clear, naturally.

I've been hunting for blemish spot treatments derived from natural ingredients. I've tried The Body Shop's tea tree oil before and ran out of them so decided to try the Burt's Bees. The packaging is compact and I love how it's so easy to apply. Some people may not like the smell, but I'm used to it and have grown to like the herb smell. Personally, I believe that it doesn't smell as strong as The Body Shop's. It does visibly reduce the redness of  my pimples after about 30 minutes of application and the blemish itself goes away after 3~7 days. Unlike the other drugstore spot treatments, this doesn't make my skin dry, peel, nor sensitive. I prefer using this rather than other tea tree oils for its convenience and effectiveness.
