The smell of this cleaner is divine! You can tell it’s made with natural ingredients from the fresh botanical scent. It’s a great creamy cleanser, so it’s not one that foams up.

I wish this product were still a free add-on with other purchases because I would have stocked up! I initially expected an exfoliating cleanse with a product like this, but it goes on smooth and creamy. I love it!

Love it! I have drier skin so I was afraid it might dry it out but it doesn't. I use it after my cleansing oil and together they work beautifully. I will definitely be reordering it. I started using BE 5 yrs ago and haven't looked back. My skin looks and feels amazing!

I love it! I've been using Bambu Earth for a few months and my skin loves it. I'm 44 years old and it's hard to switch to any other product. I'm very happy and my skin with these products. Thank you. Also I like the 4 Oz size.

Hi, I actually haven't tried the French Clay Refining Cleanser yet because I think I may have bought it mistakenly, not realizing that it's meant for combination/oily skin. I'm 71 and have aging skin on the dryer side, and I'm concerned that if I use the French Clay Refining Cleanser, that it will be too drying. Once not too long ago I used a clay mask and it really dried out my skin. Do you have any recommendations as to whether this is the right cleanser for my skin type?

I LOVE the French Clay Refining Cleanser!! I noticed that my skin had been getting rough, and nothing seemed to help. I even thought about going outside the Bamboo Earth line and getting some type of scrub or trying the facial wash with charcoal. But just in the nick of time, the French Clay came out and I am loving it. It doesn't dry my skin out and it doesn't make it too oily, either. It's a perfect balance with ingredients that also make my skin smooth. Thank you so much for such a great product!!

Every product that I have tried with your company is amazing. Trust me I have tried to many to count from other companies and not a single one compares to Bamboo Earth. Love all of them so far.

It smells nice, it’s not oily or scrubby. I was hoping it was a bit more gritty but it’s very smooth so I don’t think it will really exfoliate like I thought it would. Other than that it’s great.

Love this clay cleanser! Such a smooth texture but there was no filmy residue......and with a great, light scent.
Glad to add this to my routine!

I love clays for skincare (and haircare) and I've always wanted DIY a clay wash, but never got to it. So I was really excited to try this and I was not disappointed! It leaves my skin feeling very clean, but not stripped. It has french clay, which is one of my favorite clays! There are also some oils in the cleanser and I'm thinking that probably helps prevent the cleanser from being too drying.

Overall, a gentle cleanser. Btw, my skin is mostly normal, with a the t-zone being a little oily.

Absolutely love this!! So gentle and gets all the dirt out my skin! My skin has never looked better!

I was impressed. It lifts excess oil and buildup really well and gives you a light exfoliation, so my skin feels smooth and clean after. No tight feeling afterwards, which is a big plus for me. Would definitely recommend

Questions, answered

What comes in the bundle?

All four full-size products: French Clay Refining Cleanser (4 oz), Bambu + Willow Polishing Mask (2 oz), Blue Algae Firming Serum (1 oz), and Bakuchiol Peptide Moisturizer (2 oz).

Do I use all four every day?

The polishing mask is an occasional step, usually 1–2 times weekly as tolerated. Cleanse, apply serum, and moisturize on your other routine days. French Clay frequency also depends on your skin; dry or mature skin should begin about twice weekly.

Which product goes first?

Cleanser first. On mask days, polish next and rinse well. Follow with Blue Algae Firming Serum, then Bakuchiol Peptide Moisturizer. Finish with SPF in the morning.

Is this a good fit for dry or sensitive skin?

Introduce one new formula at a time and patch test. Use French Clay less frequently on dry, mature, or sensitivity-prone skin. Use the mask once weekly or as tolerated, and avoid exfoliating actively irritated or compromised skin. Discontinue if irritation occurs.

Does the cleanser remove waterproof makeup?

French Clay is a refining cream cleanser. Remove makeup with your usual makeup remover or cleansing oil first when needed; a cleansing oil is not included.

How long does the launch offer last?

The launch sale has ended. See the current price above.

Is this a subscription?
