Snowberry Gentle Cleanse & Tone Soft Foaming Cleanser

I found the Snowberry Gentle Cleanse and Tone a nice experience, but it is a little pricey for what you get. It is a dark yellowy muddy colour and feels creamy, lathering slightly. It definitely has a strong fragrance to it, which irritated my eyes and ears a little, but did not cause any irritation to my skin itself. It's great for a morning cleanse to freshen up and clean your skin from the nightly build up of bacteria and dirt. However, I wouldn't use it at night for a double cleanse, it does not seem like an effective makeup, sunscreen, pollution, dirt, and bacteria cleanser. It is definitely gentle, which is great for the morning so your skin does not feel tight, dry, or excessively cleansed. But for $50.00 and only being effective for skin with no makeup and little build up on it, and a small bottle.... I don't think it's worth it. I did purchase it twice and found it nice for the morning, but past that point I just couldn't justify the price for a cleanser that does half the job. If you don't wear makeup or work anywhere overly polluted or humid you may like this. It is great for sensitive skin as it does not strip the protective lipid barrier.

I have had this cleanser for a while and thought it waas time to give it a go.

It is a cleanser and toner all in one, yay, love multi tasking products.

It comes in a soft tube, and you get 100mls. It is not the cheapest product out there but if you look at it as being a two in one product it is quite good value.

To use, you put a small amount in the palm of your hand and add a bit of water and then apply to your face. It is not the nicest looking cleanser, kind of murky coloured and the smell, while isnt offensive, I have smelt nicer. It feels nice on your skin and I found the result just ok. I rinsed off with warm water but found it did not remove all of my make up. I did go over with another cleanser.

This is not the product for me.

Not my favourite product, sort of felt dirty using it as its mud coloured and doesn't smell very nice. Also the gel texture I am not a fan of. It felt like jelly or putty. Didn't feel nice using and didn't feel like it cleaned my face too easy. I would probably use it again if I didn't have anything else, and it's not too pricey and its a natural product. It is very gentle on the skin, and feels soft afterwards. But not ideal for removing makeup. The bottle lasts awhile, as you don't need much, (just remove makeup first with a miscellar water)

This product has now been renamed "Gentle Cleanse & Tone" (at least that is what the bottle in my shower says). This is a lovely Cleanser, gentle & makes my skin feel so soft afterwards. This does not remove makeup - which is fine by me as I rarely wear it. The downside is the cost at $55 for only 100mls! I will likely go back to Antipodes Juliet Cleanser for $39 for twice as much.

I scored this little beaut in the Beautiful Christmas Advent calendar. What a little pocket rocket. It is in a gorgeous 30ml opaque white pump bottle, which allows you to use all of the product in the bottle.

The product itself is a smooth, gel texture which goes a long way, one pump does my entire face and neck which is great. It feels cooling and soft on my skin when it is rubbed in. Once my face is dry it feels moisturized, soft yet deep cleaned.

The scent is incredible, it smells, floral and fresh but similar to an elegant sensual perfume. It is really delicious and I think this is also why I like it so much!

Repurchasing - Yes I would repurchase as it works so well with my skin, and I know they go on sale at Farmers so 100ml for $55 isn't too bad for a luxury product.

A friend and I attended a Snowberry evening at a local pharmacy. They were giving this away as a GWP so of course I was lured in! A suspect this was a gift with purchase due to the confusing name. It said 'Gentle Remineralising Toner' on the bottle but 'Gentle Cleanse & Tone' on the box. It is in fact a cleanser.

This has lasted me about 12 weeks and I have used it once a day as a morning cleanse. I like the pump packaging which dispenses a small amount. You do only need one pump. I think if it was in a squeeze bottle I would end up using much more than I need and going through this very quickly. I use it with a konjac sponge and it leaves my skin feeling clean but not taut or squeaky. I have not tried using this in the evenings as I don't think this small amount would remove make up effectively. I will definitely look at repurchasing this as I actually find it quite hard to find a face wash that doesn't leave my skin feel tight and in need of heavy moisturisers.

I was completely fused by this product as it stated it was a toner but was a face foaming wash. I had a love hate relationship with this item & just wanted to get it used up. I wanted to love it given the brand name but I didn't come to love it. I got this item in my NZ brand Beautiful Chr6box of 2015 so I didn't pay full price for item thankfully because this is a highend item. I found it had a pungent scent & has a brown gritty appearance. Its packaging was a nice sturdy pump bottle where the product would disperse out of pump & I would put into my palms & add warm water then the wash would foam up of which applying to my face. I found it ho-hum it would either strip my skin or leave me to break out so my end result of using this was not a good one.

I booked into a "snowberry facial" at my local life pharmacy which was a great way to try a heap of their products and have them explained and recommended to me. So I never made the toner mistake others have made, I bought it knowing it was a cleanser, and a cleanser that would be suitable for my skin. I also bought some other products of theirs too - which I love <3 The brown tea coloured gel has, in my opinion, no foaming action. I was told to only use a small amount and that it wouldn't hardly foam so I knew to expect that too. I use it with a konjac sponge and love the way it makes my skin feel afterwards, very smooth and clear with no residues left on my skin. Straight onto makeup this is not really that effective, I use a makeup remover or balm first and use this cleanser solely to clean my skin, not clean makeup off my skin if that makes sense? I have found it lasts for ages using it this way rather than wasting it trying to get heavy makeup off. I really like it, have repurchased it and would recommend it to others.

Maybe I am being an old schooler or just revealing myself to be one of those annoying persons who never read instructions and just dives head first into things, but I do prefer having my cleanser and toner separate, for me a toner is a balancing agent for my combination skin to ensure that my pores are tightened, settling dry areas and absorbing excessive oils.

By the packaging this toner reads as a gentle remineralising toner, so my thoughts were to use as a toner as it doesn't scream "hey I am a cleanser toner" so after washing my face and drying it I popped on this toner onto a cotton wool pad then patted over my skin like I do every day with my regular toner. However I did notice that the texture of it was rather thick and a very off putting beige brown colour. Having a more gel consistency which held it's own form on the pad should of tipped me off that this wasn't a normal toner, but nevertheless onto the skin it went. Leaving a filmy layer over my skin that did absorb a bit.

A few hours later my skin felt really itchy and I was desperate to get my makeup off which was breaking down with oil outbreaks. Finally getting it all off and cleansed my face didn't look red but the itchy feeling was still there. Recounting all products used that day I realised that the only new thing was the toner. This is where I read the instructions. Mix a few drops of the gel with water in your hands to create a foam, smooth over your face and rinse. A cleanser that tones and replenishes the skin. Which really annoyed me, of course it made my skin itch I was walking around all day with a gel cleanser dried on my skin. It really put me off the product and felt a little angry at the product being marketed as a toner when it was in fact a cleanser with toning abilities.
