First Person Reviews

2.3

First Person draws polarized reviews: some users report clear benefits—Sunbeam heightens focus and productivity, Moonlight helps maintain sleep—while many others feel no effects at all. Reviews also cite elegant, reusable tins and informative unboxing as strengths, but recurring complaints include slow or failed deliveries, inconsistent potency, and tins that pop open and spill when traveling.

    This coffee helped me so much. After just one cup in the morning, my test scores went up by 30 points. I felt more focused, confident, and mentally prepared while taking my college finals. This really helped me to perform at my best ability!

    This looks cool but... DO NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS. Ordered in March 2024, shipped in December 2025 after I changed cities and addresses, immediately reached out to customer service who was super unhelpful. They said they changed the address and I would receive it. March 2026(two years after the initial order), I reached out again, they said it was delivered to my current address and sent me a tracking notification with my old address on it, then suggested I reach out to the people who live there. Then offered me a partial refund. Terrible customer service, I was interested by the brand and their design and now I just want a refund or atleast what I ordered.

    I bought Sunbeam, Golden Hour and Moonlight with subscription. First of all their shipping speed is so slow. Who takes 3 days to ship now days? I placed an order on 7/5/22 and received on 7/14 and noticed they shipped in on the 3rd day after I placed the order and it was the slowest method of Fedex. Their packaging is superb. It's very nice and visually appealing but that's probably the best part of their product. I really wanted to like these products. I loved the concept behind it and what company says these mushroom supplement do. Unfortunately, none of them worked. I'm a very sensitive person when it comes to any kind of substances and medicines that come into my body. I can't drink coffee because I would get jittery and won't be able to sleep. I would get more sick of taking Nyquil because it's so strong for me. I'm the person who would only take 1/2 or 1/3 of dose of any medication because my reaction will be somewhat extreme compare to other people. That being said, when I took these 3 different types by 1 capsule the first time carefully and there was no noticeable differences. Then I moved on to take 2 capsules still no effects at all. I didn't want to crank up to 8 capsules like the website said I can because then why don't I just plant the muschroom and eat the whole thing? I will write little more details on the effect of each. Each colored tint comes with 40 capsules and it's 2 capsules for 1 dose. Sunbeam: If anyone knows Mindlab Pro or Qualia you're aware of effects of those brain supplements for focus. I would say the effect of Sunbeam was hardly noticeable or 1/5 of 1 capsule of Mindlab(2~4 for 1 dose) Pro or 1/20 of 1 capsule of Qualia(4 ~6 for 1 dose). I try to watch for the placebo but there is hardly no effect. I would rather stick with Omega 3 and L-theanine. Goldenhour: Maybe a very subtle lifted feelig that lasted 5 to 30 mins. The day I took these I was actually pretty down and I felt slight lift that lasted 30 mins if it wasn't placebo because I also took them on different ok days and didn't feel much difference. It didn't put me to any happy for no reason mood that I was expecting. I'd rather stick to my pure CBD pen. Moonlight: Absolutely nothing. I usually take night time vitamins but this first night trying Moonlight I didn't take any CBD gummies or pm vitamins to see the effect of Moonlight. I was awake and didn't even feel close to falling a sleep so I started worry that I would not be able to sleep so I just took my CBD gummie and went to sleep. I tried it again the next several days but it didn't seem to help me at all. My conclusion is maybe too little of muschroom ingredients are in these products or since some mushrooms that are real potent aren't supposed to be used legally yet the effect of ones that this company could use is too minimal. I am very disappointed. I was willing to spend $142 plus tax to find out if I can benefit from these product knowing that company doesn't offer refund. If they truly believe their products do work why can't they be confident enough to offer refund? Their website says one can take up to 8 capsules day if needed and that is like 5 dosages out of one time purchase since there are only 40 capsules. Again, I'm a very sensitive person with these type of stuff and if they make no noticeable effect on me I wonder how other people would benefit from these. I will write a review according to my experience on their website and see if my one star review would be posted. I only see 5 star reviews on Thingtesting and their own website.

    Wow - I bought the trio pack with little expectations. Took this Yellow (Energy) and Orange (Mood Enhancing) pills this morning and was buzzing. Love that the Orange one also advises to take before yoga or mediation, trying that at the gym tonight. Cannot wait to try the sleep ones. I always need some for of sleeping pill to be able to sleep. If it works, I will be blown away. Everything with packaging and shipping is incredible.
