Brand: [Burt's Bees](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/brands/burt-s-bees) Category: [Cleansers](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/best/cleansers) This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with combination skin: an oily T-zone, enlarged pores, and dry cheeks. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app. A weak match for combination skin; the cleansers alongside fit it better. ## Why this fit - Offers moderate cleansing for your combination skin due to Quillaja Saponaria Bark Extract and Coco-Glucoside, but the presence of Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil and Coconut Oil poses a risk of worsening your oily shine. - While glycerin provides some humectant action suitable for combination skin, the formula lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily areas. ## Fit by skin type - [Oily skin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/burt-s-bees/soap-bark-and-chamomile-deep-cleansing-cream/for/oily-skin): Average - [Dry skin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/burt-s-bees/soap-bark-and-chamomile-deep-cleansing-cream/for/dry-skin): Low - [Combination skin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/burt-s-bees/soap-bark-and-chamomile-deep-cleansing-cream/for/combination-skin): Low (this page) - [Sensitive skin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/burt-s-bees/soap-bark-and-chamomile-deep-cleansing-cream/for/sensitive-skin): Average - [Acne-prone skin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/burt-s-bees/soap-bark-and-chamomile-deep-cleansing-cream/for/acne-prone-skin): Low - [Skin with dark spots](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/burt-s-bees/soap-bark-and-chamomile-deep-cleansing-cream/for/dark-spots): Average - [Mature skin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/burt-s-bees/soap-bark-and-chamomile-deep-cleansing-cream/for/mature-skin): Average - [Dry sensitive skin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/burt-s-bees/soap-bark-and-chamomile-deep-cleansing-cream/for/dry-sensitive-skin): Low - [Oily acne-prone skin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/burt-s-bees/soap-bark-and-chamomile-deep-cleansing-cream/for/oily-acne-prone-skin): Average ## Key ingredients Soap Bark, Chamomile, Aloe Barbadensis, Echinacea, Coconut Oil ## What the research says - Apigenin protects against UVA-induced cytotoxicity and senescence in normal human dermal fibroblasts, decreases MMP-1 expression, and when applied topically as a cream in human subjects, increases dermal density and elasticity while reducing fine wrinkle length, skin evenness, moisture content, and transepidermal water loss compared to control cream.

This cleanser may worsen your oily shine because it contains coconut oil and sunflower seed oil, and it lacks enough ingredients to properly control oil on your oily areas. A cleanser for combination skin needs to safely balance oil production and maintain hydration across both oily and dry areas with high-quality, soothing ingredients that do not cause irritation. ### Which ingredients make this cleanser a poor fit for combination skin? Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil and Coconut Oil make this cleanser a weak match because they may worsen your oily shine. A cleanser for this skin needs ingredients that balance oil production, maintain hydration, and provide oil control. ### What does Soap Bark do for combination skin? Soap bark helps clean combination skin by washing away extra oil in shiny areas without leaving dry patches feeling tight. It gives a gentle fresh wash that is unlikely to strip your skin of needed moisture. ### What does Chamomile do for combination skin? Chamomile helps calm redness and keeps combination skin feeling soft and balanced. It also supports skin barrier repair and provides gentle antioxidant protection without making oily areas greasy or dry patches flaky.

This cleanser is a weak match for combination skin because oils in the formula may worsen oily shine, so this skin type needs a cleanser with ingredients that help control oil without heavy oils. In a daily routine, use this cleanser in the morning and evening, followed by a hydrating toner, moisturizer, and sunscreen during the day. ### Can I use this cleanser with salicylic acid, and in what order? This cleanser may be too harsh or heavy when paired with salicylic acid on combination skin, as it risks adding oily shine while lacking oil control. A cleanser for this skin needs gentle purifying ingredients and oil-balancing extracts to keep oily and dry areas comfortable without irritation. ### How often should I use this cleanser? This cleanser is a weak match for combination skin because oils in the formula may worsen oily shine. A cleanser for this skin needs ingredients that help control oil and balance moisture. ### Can this cleanser clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin? This cleanser may worsen your oily shine and cause clogged pores for combination skin because it contains coconut oil and sunflower seed oil. A cleanser for this skin needs oil-balancing ingredients and lightweight hydrators to keep oily areas clear without adding extra weight. ### Can I use this cleanser around the eyes or on my body? This cleanser may be too harsh for the very thin skin around the eyes and is generally formulated for facial use rather than the body. A product used on the body or near the eyes needs to respect delicate skin thickness while cleansing gently. Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/) ### Is this cleanser fragrance-free and alcohol-free? It contains fragrance (limonene and citral) and drying alcohol (alcohol). ## Alternatives for combination skin - [CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/cerave/foaming-facial-cleanser/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 49.95 at Amazon - [SOME BY MI Snail Truecica Miracle Repair Low pH Gel Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/some-by-mi/snail-truecica-miracle-repair-low-ph-gel-cleanser/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 44.75 at Amazon - [Eminence Organic Skin Care Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/eminence-organic-skin-care/clear-skin-probiotic-cleanser/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 140.26 at Amazon ## Routine for combination skin ### AM - Cleanser: [Fresh Soy Face Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/fresh/soy-face-cleanser/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 84.53 at Amazon - Hydrating Toner: [Paula's Choice Pore-Reducing Toner](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/paula-s-choice/skin-balancing-pore-reducing-toner/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 145.00 at Amazon - Moisturizer: [COSRX Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion with Birch Sap](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/cosrx/oil-free-ultra-moisturizing-lotion-with-birch-sap/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 33.40 at Amazon ### PM - Pre-Cleanser: [Shu Uemura Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/shu-uemura/ultime8-sublime-beauty-cleansing-oil/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 179.45 at Amazon - Cleanser: [Fresh Soy Face Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/fresh/soy-face-cleanser/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 84.53 at Amazon - Cleansing Toner: [Medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/medicube/zero-pore-pad-2-0/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 53.12 at Amazon - Serum or Treatment: [Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/peach-and-lily/glass-skin-refining-serum/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 168.76 at Amazon - Moisturizer: [COSRX Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion with Birch Sap](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/cosrx/oil-free-ultra-moisturizing-lotion-with-birch-sap/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 33.40 at Amazon ### Weekly - Pre-Cleanser: [Shu Uemura Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/shu-uemura/ultime8-sublime-beauty-cleansing-oil/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 179.45 at Amazon - Cleanser: [Fresh Soy Face Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/fresh/soy-face-cleanser/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 84.53 at Amazon - Enzyme Powder: [Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/dermalogica/daily-microfoliant/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 101.09 at Amazon - Cleansing Mask: [Kora Organics Turmeric Brightening & Exfoliating Mask](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/kora-organics/turmeric-brightening-and-exfoliating-mask/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 122.93 at Amazon - Hydrating Toner: [Paula's Choice Pore-Reducing Toner](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/paula-s-choice/skin-balancing-pore-reducing-toner/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 145.00 at Amazon - Serum or Treatment: [Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/peach-and-lily/glass-skin-refining-serum/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 168.76 at Amazon ## Where to buy No store in United Arab Emirates has a checked price for this product, so the page shows none. ## Ingredients Water, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil Sunflower Seed Oil, Stearic Acid, Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Coconut Oil, Coco-Glucoside, Silica, Quillaja Saponaria Bark Extract, Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract Matricaria Flower Extract, Echinacea Purpurea Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Tocopherol Vitamin E, Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter, Lonicera Japonica Flower Extract Honeysuckle Flower Extract, Lonicera Caprifolium Flower Extract Honeysuckle Flower Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract Rosemary Leaf Extract, Witch Hazel Water, Menthol, Sucrose Stearate, Xanthan Gum, Glycine Soja Oil Soybean Oil, Canola Oil, Sodium Phytate, Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Limonene, Citral, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone ## About the Lovi Fit Lovi: Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes.
