My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

So’Bio Étic's Pur Bamboo mattifying moisturizer is primarily intended for combination to oily skin prone to shine, excess sebum, and blemishes. My analysis of the formula reveals the brand's clear desire to offer a product that is both moisturizing and regulating, while respecting the skin's balance. This moisturizer aims to provide light hydration without leaving a greasy residue, while mattifying the skin and reducing the appearance of enlarged pores and blemishes.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in particular in this formula. First, bamboo extract, known for its mattifying and purifying properties, helps absorb excess sebum and refine skin texture. Next, zinc PCA, an effective sebum regulator, limits bacterial proliferation and reduces blemishes. Finally, hyaluronic acid (in the form of sodium hyaluronate) ensures optimal hydration without weighing down the texture, thus maintaining the skin's suppleness. The combination of these active ingredients gives the product a balanced effectiveness between mattifying and skin comfort.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this product in the morning, on clean, dry skin, in a thin layer over the entire face. It can be used alone or before sunscreen. It is compatible with gentle active ingredients such as niacinamide or aloe vera, but I do not recommend combining it with very exfoliating or retinoid-based products on the same morning, to avoid irritation. In the evening, opt for a more restorative and moisturizing routine.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This Pur Bamboo skincare product from So’Bio Étic stands out for its light texture, immediate mattifying effect, and respect for the skin's balance. Its natural, non-comedogenic formula makes it ideal for combination to oily skin. The only downside is the presence of fragrance and potential allergens, which should be monitored in very sensitive skin. My medical opinion: an excellent choice for a daily routine, combining effectiveness and gentleness.
