IMO - Not Worth It
I'm going to give the products a little more time but my initial reaction to them is not great. I think there are better clean skincare lines out there that are a better bang for your buck. I am in my 30's, have a good skincare regimen (directed the person who insinuated negative reviews were because people are lazy), and have dry skin. The dry skin is primarily why I wanted to give this brand a go. The brand I have been using prior to this is Farmacy Beauty and I absolutely love them, but my skin would still be flaky, even after using their high potency moisturizing masks and products. Positive points - These seem to be quality ingredients and do not have water to dilute the product. I like that. I like that you're not forced to sign up for auto-renewals to gain access to these products. I like that the products come in glass jars. I'm glad they have a quiz to help guide (and sell) products they think would work best for you. Okay points - I see why some people do not like the smells of these products. They are very potent, even for clean products. I don't dislike all of them but they are powerful. That being said, I like that they smell like what they're made out of. There's no masking. The cleanser has apple cider vinegar - so it smells like vinegar. That's fine. Things I really don't like - I feel like you have to wait quite a while before applying makeup after using the peltigrain moisturizer. It takes a really long time to sink into the skin. I have used their overnight eye mask and I feel like the dark circles around my eyes are somehow more pronounced and that particular product does actually smell awful. As far as the eye bags and circles go, I can't tell if that has anything to do with the product or something else going on, so I'll give it more time. Additionally, there -are- a lot of products, and I am used to having multi step skin care routines. If you think about it you should be able to figure it out but it'd be nice to have a guide or even a general sheet or something. Cleanser(s), toner, mist, serums, moisturizer or something. They send you little cards anyway and this one would be helpful. The other thing I found scummy and suspicious was that several of the FB reviews are clearly not for Bambu Earth products which makes me question the integrity of the marketing. It's actually hard to find reviews individual products and the line itself that isn't sponsored which tells me they're probably not overwhelmingly positive. Ultimately, this current full-size order I have is probably a one and done thing for me. I don't absolutely hate it but I don't like it either and the negatives outweigh the good to be a neutral. If I break out or start having other issues, I'll return the products and try to update.
