Rainwater Botanicals Review

Rainwater Botanicals offers sample sizes for a ton of their products. I always appreciate companies like this just in case I don't like what I've bought. I have a really hard time throwing away things, even if they're ineffective or I just don't like them. Samples give me the option of trying something before fully committing to it and paying full price for something I may not even like. Since they provide so many sample options, I was able to choose multiple products to try. I choose the Natural Spot Treatment for Acne New Formula, Eye Serum with Carrot Seed Oil and Olive Squalane, Skin Repair Serum for Scars Wrinkles and Acne, and the Troubled Skin Toner With Frankincense and Tamanu. Everything except the Toner came in one of those tiny perfume sample sizes. The Toner came in a little bit bigger container with a spray nose.


The Natural Spot Treatment for Acne New Formula

It's always nice to have a spot treatment around, especially if  you're acne-constant like me. Sadly, this little sample didn't seem enough to show me a difference. I really want to say that it helped diminish my blemishes, but I couldn't be honest and say that. I only got to use it twice a day for 5 or 6 days. Not nearly enough to see any results. I was a little disappointed that I wasn't able to use it longer, but I can't be upset about it. I should've just purchased the full size to try it. After all, could it do any harm with all those amazing ingredients in it? It smelled very strongly of licorice, which I'm sure is an extremely effective ingredient. Honestly, it reminded me of Jagermeister.

Eye Serum with Carrot Seed Oil and Olive Squalane

I usually don't purchase eye serums or creams because it's not something I'm concerned with at this point in my life. This one was a dollar for the sample so I thought, why not? Turns out this was one of my favorites out of the bunch. The serum soaked into the thin skin around my eyes effortlessly and left no residue. Even though the sample was small, I could tell that it was working. My eyes seemed much brighter and the skin was more taught. Whenever I go to purchase an eye serum, this is the one I will be allow myself to be guided to. It smelled glorious, sunk in quickly, and was effective. I couldn't ask for more.

Skin Repair Serum for Scars Wrinkles and Acne

This is definitely the "Wow" product of the bunch. I have found that using natural products has helped control my acne significantly. As the acne fades and gets better, sadly, another obstacle is blocking my path: the scars are way more noticeable. I had a huge problem with picking for years. I don't anymore, but the proof is still there, right on my face. I honestly didn't expect this serum to do anything at all. I saw the word "acne" and added it to my basket. I cannot even begin to express how much this has changed my perception on beauty. I have hope that I can have smooth, clear skin again. I guarantee that, if I use this serum for a couple months, all the scars will smooth and even out. I am impressed and amazed. There's a 100% chance that I will purchase this again, in the full size this time. Plus, it doesn't smell horrible!

Troubled Skin Toner With Frankincense and Tamanu

This is the sample that came in a bigger container. It was definitely still a sample size, but it lasted me a couple weeks of use. I especially liked spraying it on while I had a clay mask on, to kind of hydrate the mask and make it last longer. This had a very light feel to it. The scent was light and the formula itself seemed light. Toners have a very wide spectrum. Sometimes they're extremely concentrated and sting slightly and sometimes they're just like a floral water. This one was the latter. It seemed really nice overall, but I didn't see any significant results that make me want to gush all over it. The container was adorable though with the the little sprayer and I'm going to keep it to refill with other things.


I spent less than $15 on all of these samples and they served their purposes. I now know which ones I'd like to return to and which ones aren't really worth it, in my opinion. Thank you Rainwater Botanicals for your thoughtful and professional products. I truly enjoyed trying them out. I would definitely recommend anyone to try a few things from Rainwater Botanicals. I guarantee there is a product for you.
