I must say Product packaging is really attractive, its all bamboos printed on the tub. All green- Tub and even the Gel inside. Transparent gel with a fresh aqua fragrance. it gives instant cooling once you apply on face. I usually apply this during evening hours when I am back home and want something relaxing and soothing. Ingredient list shows bamboo extracts, glycerine, sodium hyaluronate which are great skin hydrants. But it contains alcohol and glycol compund as well so it could be little drying or bother sensitive skin.
I have a combination skin which develops dry patches on cheeks during winters so all I need something nourishing sans oil or grease. So gels are usually a safe bet. But since Bamboo gel was new for me this made me experience the benefits.
This gel spreads easily on face and one can keep this for 5-10 minutes on face and wash later to get pretty hydrated skin. You will notice a healthy glow but that is not something to last.
One of my readers asked me if it can be used as moisturiser, I would say that if you have dry skin you can try applying a thin layer. But in my case although this was quite soothing, calming and hydrating but I could feel the layer on my skin till it was there, it was not completely absorbed to be considered as moisturiser.
Rather it is great soothing , calming and hydrating mask for every skin type.
2. Rose water Eau De Rose daily perfumed hand cream (INR 240 for 30 ml)
As name says, its daily perfumed hand cream- with a very pretty and attractive tube packaging. My hand creams were all done so I was already in search for a daily hand cream which I can carry along in my bag. The is a thick cream which easily spreads and instantly gets absorbed by skin leaving your hands soft and velvetty and for next few seconds you are surrounded by a cloud of mild rose scent. It surely moisturises but the effect wont last long; max up to 4 hours post which reapplication is needed provided you have not washed your hands in between. One of my friends forgot to apply hand lotion and when she tried she was like- wow, I want this.
Overall both the products from The face Shop are good to try. Recommended!
1. Demyang Bamboo 99% Fresh Soothing gel- amazingly soothing and calming. (4.5/5)
2. Rose water Eau De Rose daily perfumed hand cream (4.9/5)
