I ordered it sometime ago it’s very good,my hair fells very healthy and my acne is slowly disappearing.However skincare bottles are small.And also check double if your based is real.
As someone from Texas looking for solid men's grooming stuff online, I came across Based Bodyworks and thought it looked legit—clean ingredients, hype around the hair routines, peppermint shampoo, texture powder, all that "based" vibe. Website promises quick shipping, natural formulas, no BS fillers. Sounded perfect for a simple upgrade.
Placed an order for the shower duo and some hair stuff, excited to try it out. Then the nightmare started.
First off, shipping was slow AF—way longer than the "ships next day" claim. Tracking barely updated, felt like it was stuck somewhere overseas or in limbo. When it finally arrived (weeks later), the packaging looked cheap, one bottle arrived leaking/damaged, and the products didn't live up to the marketing at all. The shampoo left my hair feeling stripped and dry, conditioner was meh at best, nothing like the "game-changer" reviews I saw. Felt more like overhyped generic stuff with fancy branding.
Tried reaching out to support—multiple emails, no real response. Just automated replies or nothing. When I pushed for a refund or exchange, crickets. They hide behind "policy" excuses, no easy returns, and good luck getting a human to help. Reading other reviews now, seems like a pattern: ghosting customers, runarounds, and tons of complaints about fake copycat sites too (which makes trusting the real one even harder).
The whole "based" thing feels like a gimmick to sell overpriced products that underdeliver. Wasted my money and time. If you're in the US (especially Texas), skip the hassle—plenty of better, more reliable options out there without the headache.
Lesson learned: hype doesn't equal quality. Avoid unless you like gambling with your cash.
1/5 – would not recommend to anyone. Total regret.
The skincare duo is horrendous. My skin keeps and keeps on burning and stinging and the „moisturizer“ just ends up drying my skin to death. Wouldn’t recommend
You need to verify it's the real one... my friend thought he ordered right but it was a scammer website with a few letters changed in the domain. Personally my experience has always been solid & the new body lotion is insane.
I bought the skincare duo and it arrived quickly in 7 days which is the minimum time to the UK. I have been using the cleanser and moisturiser for 2 months now and since then my acne has got a lot worse.
I ordered the based body lotion on drop day and been using it for a week or so. BEST body lotion I've ever used, and it smells so nice. Waiting on the amber and alpine scents now pls hurry
So I bought $88 worth of products and found out it was from a fraudulent website with order number starting with a B, then I noticed that the tracking information was yenwen from China. I contacted the company with the “contact us” and a lady from the apologized explaining to me about the scam and to contact my credit card company. I sent a screenshot of the information on my cc and she verified it was not from their website or company and suggested to buy the promo Amazon. I am still waiting on my original order if it ever gets delivered. Disputed the charge with my cc company and just received 2 out of 4 products I ordered on Amazon. It’s for my grandson who saw the product on TikTok. I don’t use that APP. I thought by “Googling” the name I was on the correct website! Unfortunately I got SCAMMED!
It’s really sad the way China has to do this to people probably all over the world just to make money! Or any internet SCAMMING COMPANY. It’s sad what this world has become! I get those SCAM CALLERS telling me they are calling from my cable company, funny thing I cut the cable cord a few years ago. Or they are calling AT&T, I tell them AT&T does not call their customers, they hang up! Sad, sad 😥

The leave in conditioner is so good, it smells amazing and hydrates my hair so much. My whole family loves it, thanks.
So back in March of 2025 Is when I first ordered from based where I got the based shampoo and conditioner and also the curl cream and leave in. The first time I tried Based I was a bit skeptical but as soon as I used the product my hair went from super frizzy to the best curls I’ve had in years! The order only took like two days to get to my house and I’ve been using based since then and now I’m re ordering all curl products and shampoo and conditioner since I’ve ran out of:/ hope to see my products soon! Love Based and Always Will!
They have the best curly hair products on the market would recommend
no customer service, items take months to ship.
Update: Package finally arrived months later, and was missing 1 of 2 items that I ordered.
After switching from dash for him clay and tribal trimp powder and simpletics salt spray amazing and love the prodeuct amazing lolvelovelove based
Even thought it’s expensive as hell I still luv your products lance
You need to check it's real!!! I feel bad for BASED because their costumer service is really good but people are ordering from fake places and then blaming it on them 😭 Like bro.
TOTAL SCAM, WE NEVER RECEIVED THE PRODUCT. ORDER MADE JANUARY 7, 2026. WE ARE FEBRUARY 24, 2026.
i have the texture essentials bundle and it works great the sea salt spray gives my hair a natural feel and gives me so much texture. The texture powder just finishes off the routine gives me more volume and a long lasting hold. invest in based
Best company with the best products, not much else to say
Horrible customer service. My phone accidentally auto generated my delivery address and sent my product to an old domicile. I immediately contacted customer service to fix the issue and they said they “escalated” it. Turns out they never did anything and when I could not receive my package they refused to give me a refund. They constantly blamed me for putting in the wrong address and not making sure the issue was escalated properly. Total joke of a company who can’t accommodate customers. Do not buy from them.
i ordered on tiktok shop and it came surprisingly fast for tiktok shop. the order came in around 4-5 days and it arrived perfectly packaged and unharmed. the order was perfect as what i ordered. i will definitely be ordering at BASED again.
