I have oily skin and occasional breakouts.
Burt’s Bees has never been organic and was recently bought out by Clorox. Not a company I would want to deal with if going organic.
I use the skin care line from Terressentials. It is 100% USDA certified organic, no other line can boast that. You can order the line from their website http://www.terressentials.com . Tea Tree Oil is good for breakouts as well.
There is a whole lot of green washing going on these days. You have to really check the ingredients for everything you purchase. Organic doesn’t mean anything unless it is certified organic. Natural doesn’t mean anything at all. Companies are slapping these labels on products to trick consumers.
Juice Beauty (available at Sephora) has some 100% organic and partially organic products. They do have an acne line that is made with organic ingredients. I tried it and it worked reasonably well.
CARE by Stella McCartney (also at Sephora) is also mostly organic, but very expensive.
You can also go to Whole Foods as they have lots of “green” skin care products. But buyer beware and read your labels as some of these lines have ingredients like SLS, PEG, propylene glycol, and other chemicals.

the best I found is Sophyto. You can find it at http://www.skinterra.com. Also, as a new customer, you can save 15%.
I’m in love with Burt’s Bees! They’re almost always 100% natural. They have really great face washes and exfoliating face scrubs. Then never leave my skin oily, and they make it super soft! And it smells awesome too
) Good luck!
Soaps made with olive oil are great.. I have oily skin as well and I have yet to buy ant that leaves a residue or greasy feeling to my skin.
