Burt's Bees Oil Control Foaming Cleanser for Oily, Sensitive Skin — Green Tea & Hyaluronic Acid, 8 fl oz

Burt's Bees Oil Control Foaming Cleanser is a gel-to-foam facial cleanser formulated to remove excess oil and impurities while remaining gentle enough for sensitive skin. This lightweight cleanser transforms from a gel into a soft foam to lift trapped dirt, sebum, and environmental grime without stripping. It combines green tea extract for antioxidant support and hyaluronic acid to help maintain surface hydration, and it’s formulated without parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, or SLS. Leaping Bunny certified and developed by the #1 dermatologist-recommended natural skin care brand (February 2025 NielsenIQ survey), this product is designed for daily use when you want a deeper clean that still respects sensitive skin.

How does this cleanser control oil without over-drying?

The formula balances effective cleansing ingredients with hydrating components so excess oil is lifted but the skin’s moisture barrier isn’t aggressively stripped. Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds water at the skin surface, helping skin feel refreshed rather than tight after rinsing.

• Gel-to-foam texture loosens sebum and debris for easy rinsing.
• Hyaluronic acid supports surface hydration during and after cleansing.
• Free from SLS and petrolatum to minimize harsh, drying surfactants.

Will this be gentle enough for sensitive or reactive skin?

Yes—the cleanser is formulated to be safe for sensitive skin while still addressing oiliness. It avoids common irritants such as parabens and phthalates, and Burt's Bees relies on testing practices aligned with Leaping Bunny certification rather than animal testing.

• No parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, or SLS in the formula.
• Light foam that rinses clean without leaving heavy residues.
• Recommended for sensitive skin in product description and usage guidance.

What role do green tea extract and hyaluronic acid play here?

Green tea extract offers antioxidant benefits and helps the formula feel refreshingly clean, whereas hyaluronic acid helps maintain moisture at the skin’s surface so the complexion doesn’t become parched after washing. Together they support a balanced, calmer-looking appearance post-cleanse.

• Green tea extract provides antioxidant support and a refreshing finish.
• Hyaluronic acid helps retain surface moisture for a smoother feel.
• Combined to cleanse while supporting a healthy-looking complexion.

How should I use this cleanser in my daily routine?

Use morning and evening as the first step in your skincare routine: apply a small amount to damp skin, massage to create foam, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with toner or serum and a lightweight moisturizer or sunscreen as appropriate.

• Apply to damp face, massage gently, rinse with lukewarm water.
• Suitable for use before serums or moisturizers to enhance absorption.
• Designed for daily morning and evening cleansing for oily skin types.
