I received this just before Christmas I was so over the moon with excitement as I have heard many good things about snowberry products but had never ventured out and Brought any myself so I read the box (only the front) and it says "remineralising toner" perfect I think, a toner. So after I cleanse I went to put it on my face hmmm consistency is a bit strange for a toner so I get the box again and read the back and it's actually a cleanser, a bit odd but ah well.
The brown coloured, gel type cleanser has a bit of a scent but not enough to distinguish what it actually is. 2 pumps out of the pump top bottle is enough to cleanse my face.
It only very slightly foams and you have to scrub it around your face a few times to get the foam.
After I pat my face dry my skin feels and looks amazing, having dry skin I steer clear from cleansers that feel like they strip more moisture from your skin than anything else and I was so happy when this just left it almost glowing and ready for the rest of my routine.
I probably have 2 more uses left in the tube before its finished I will be repurchasing this but in the 100ml size as its roughly the same price as this tiny tube. Can't say enough about this cleanser except how amazing it is!
I was stoked to received my first Snowberry product in the Beautiful Christmas NZ box last year. I was even more stoked because I had just run out of toner and didn't have to repurchase a new one - so I thought. I was surprised to find the 'toner' in a pump bottle and thought my eyes were deceiving me when I thought it looked like cream from the outside.
I didn't even register it was a cleanser even as I was pumping the gel-like product into my hand until I read the back of the bottle while using it in the shower and found that it's a "cleanser that tones and replenishes the skin". I stopped mid action because that meant I had just cleansed my face 3 times and toned it once? (Cleansed twice with my normal cleanser and cleansed again and toned with Snowberry).
I love the packaging, lightweight, white with minimal colour. It's quite compact so it takes up little room when traveling and there's no issue with leakage. I do feel that the name of the product is confusing because I don't know many people who would associate the word toner with "cleanser" right from the get go.
I use one pump and a half for my entire face and it has a natural semi sweet scent to it. It doesn't really foam at all and remains slick on my skin as I try to massage it in. Most of the time I can massage 'cleansers' into my skin so that I can't detect it's original form but with this it remains gel-like right until I wash it off. I was surprised that something so gentle on the skin could make my skin feel so tight and squeaky clean. My skin felt smooth and soft once I patted it dry.
I'm not sure I could justify $55 for 30ml or is it priced that way because it's 2-in-1 and it has natural ingredients? Does it do the job? I believe so but if you're like me who cleanses twice at the end of the day (oily skin) but don't necessarily tone twice then it's not really for me. Would I recommend it to others though? Absolutely.
