Goodness Every Day Cream Cleanser Review

I'm a huge fan of literally all the featured ingredients in this - apple, chia, coconut avocado - sounds like a concoction that can only be good, right? For me... not so much.

Goodness Évery Day Cream Cleanser comes in a gorgeous avocado-flesh green tube with a soft grey screw cap at the bottom. I have the smaller size; 20ml, which I got in a 'Try the Range' kit for about $20 at Farmers. This was enough for a good couple of weeks worth of trials, and I suspect I used too much, so I dare say the 150ml size would last ages.

The cleanser is white and quite thin. You only need to tap the tube to get it to dispense and the first time I used it I squeezed and ended up with heaps in my hand. The cleanser has a strongly herbal smell - unexpectedly, to me it smells mostly of fresh parsley. It's not an offensive scent but I don't personally like it as much as other cleansers I use/have used.

I have to say, I'm not a huge cream cleanser user at the best of times, but I had an open mind trying this one out as I really wanted to love it.

Unfortunately, I don't. I found it didn't remove my makeup very well at all and I needed micellar water or makeup remover both before and after using this to make sure my face was clean. It took quite a bit of rinsing to get the product totally off my face (admittedly this may have been down to me using too much as well) and I could still smell it afterwards.

Positives - I didn't break out using this, and my face felt nice once it was fully rinsed and dried - no drying/tightening of skin etc. I also like that it's from a NZ company.

Unfortunately, because this product fdoes not meet my makeup removal/cleanser all in one needs, and I'm not a fan of the scent, it won't be repurchased - but I can see the spot in the market for it and so it still may well work for you, especially if you're not a big makeup wearer or you are a fan of natural cream cleansers.

I received this in the Having a ball best beauty box ever, I was impressed with the size and I loved the mint colored tube it comes in.

I found this didn't work very well for removing my makeup, I tested this with wearing light eye makeup and heavy eye makeup, both didn't do very well at removing eyeliner or mascara. In regards to removing foundation or cream contouring, those came off easily. When using this cleanser I had to remove my makeup first before going in with the cleanser. Using a dime size I apply this to my face and neck before rinsing off with warm water. The formula is creamy but runny, a little like yogurt. It is soothing on my skin which is great after a busy day. Afterwards my skin feels clean and smooth, definitely brighter, I like how soft my skin feels after using this cleanser.

It is definitely a more gentler cleanser, something I am not used to. It doesn't dry out my skin but instead nourishes and hydrates it.

I have repurchased this cream cleanser.

I am currently hooked on this cream cleanser. Goodness is such a amazing New Zealand brand and I love their natural products. I am so passionate about supporting New Zealand businesses. I have been loving their products for a while now.

The cleanser is super creamy and easy to wash my face with and yes it lives up to my expectations- It gets off ALL Makeup! How fabulous right?! Mascara, eyebrow pomade even well set foundation does not stand a chance! Im hooked and now can truly say this may be my holy grail cleanser.

I am so pleased that it does not leave my skin oily, I dont get any dry skin from it (like I have from other cleansers) and its such a good price. A little goes a long way so it lasts for a while and its easy to remember to repurchase by chucking it in your shopping cart as your going down the toiletries isle. How easy!

What I like about the Goodness range is the ingredients used in their products, and the almost earthy, slightly sweet and smooth herbal fragrances. Upon first wiff this cream cleanser packs a fresh herby punch, and mellows to a crisp green apple scent as you massage it over your skin.

The consistency of this cream cleanser is on the thinner side and is like a very wet runny lotion upon application, so it doesn't really lather. It's a light and gentle cleanser, lovely for the mornings when you're wanting a minimal cleansing option, and it leaves my skin feeling rather soft and smooth.

Makeup removal wise, this cleanser is a very poor option. I tend to apply my mascara quite heavily and this cleanser had no show at getting it off. I tried cleansing twice, even 3 times with this cleanser to remove my makeup, in particular the mascara, and it's simply not capable.

I quite like this cleanser for the mornings, and as a body wash, but definitely not enough to go and get myself some more. I feel that $20 is a lot for a cleanser that's neither here nor there in my opinion, regardless of it being quite a large tube of product. I don't think that this product deserves to be critisized, however I wouldn't recommend it.

I've used quite a few from the Goodness range, and was excited to try this cleanser! I am a sucker for products I can buy from the supermarket as part of our fortnightly shop!

Its a nice cleanser, but it is not really suitable for make up or a deep clean. It is quite light weight, and I find it never removes my mascara properly. I would use it twice when I wore make up and used a face cloth as well but will still end up with mascara on my towel!

It's great for people who need a light cleanse, or even a young person starting out with a routine, but I wouldn't suggest for make up wearers or people who need a deep cleanse.

I bought this in a pack of sample sizes, as I didn't want to invest in something I didn't like. To be honest, every company should do this!

I love the color of the tube, the pastel mint green really does it for me and mixed with the design and layout of the writing its quite pleasing to the eye. The cream inside is white, thick and smells quite average, it's not a smell I like. I'm not really a fan of the screw top lids, like this one has, I prefer the pop out/open ones, but it isn't a huge deal.

Applied to my face I move it around with the pads of my fingers. It's gentle on the eyes and I can easily wash around my eye area without irritation. The cream doesn't break me out or irritate my skin in anyway, so it's quite nice. Unfortunately I didn't like the smell, as mentioned, so I probably wouldn't repurchase, but it's a good alternative if I can't find my regular.

I picked up this cleanser as part of Goodness' travel kit for my trip to Vietnam back in 2016. While Vietnam was incredible, I can't say I had the same feelings towards this cleanser despite the reviews that I read for it.

Let's start from my first impressions - Goodness' design is impeccable. They have a fluidity throughout all of their products which creates a cohesive brand. The packaging for the cleanser is simple and beautiful, a soft green tube with a silver lid. Perfect for getting every last bit of product out.

The smell of the cleanser, although probably not everyones cup of tea, is natural and soothing. It's reminiscent of freshly cut grass and, strangely, waterfalls.

And that is where my love of the product ends. The cleanser itself, to me, the actual product was thin, watery and left my skin with a film on it. My skin did not feel clean and fresh after using it, I felt like I needed to double (or even triple) cleanse to feel like I was getting anywhere with cleaning my skin.

This cleanser really didn't dry my face, which is what i liked about it the most. A lot of the cleansers I've used previously really dry out my face and i would have to use a lot of moisturisers to hydrate my face again, as with this cleanser i felt it cleaned my face without drying it out and after cleansing i applied the oil & moisturiser and it was a perfect feeling and a beautiful shine.

I picked this up in a samples box - generous samples & a fantastic way to try out most of the Goodness range.

This cleanser comes in a tube and the cleanser itself is a thick cream which massages onto my skin well, covering my face with a fairly minimal amount. The scent is perfectly described by siouzsannah - Lemongrass & cucumber.

Performance wise - it's ok, it removes most of my makeup and it is very gentle on my skin, but I prefer the Goodness Breakup Makeup balm. My skin is oily/combination, so it's possible this cleanser is more suited to dry skin.

I recommend trying out the Grab n Go, Goodness try-me kit.

Full disclosure: I'm not a huge cream cleanser fan (I'm in a serious relationship with an oil cleanser!), but I am a sucker for trying new products, so I picked up the Try the Range kit from Farmers.

I wasn't holding my breath on this one, as I have combination skin and often cream cleansers feel like they haven't done enough to control the oily bits. But you know what? I used this for a week or two and... nothing. No dry patches. No spots. Just... clean, smooth skin. I really noticed the difference when I finished because I picked up another cream cleanser and immediately started breaking out.

Further, a little goes a long way and this product is reasonably priced. As if that wasn't enough, it's produced by an NZ company. Could you ask for more from your cleanser?? Well ok, I could ask it to be an oil cleanser, but you shouldn't hold that against it!
