Snowberry Gentle Cleanse & Tone Soft Foaming Cleanser

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!

This is an interesting product. The packaging is pleasant enough, an air tight pump tube.

But this Snowberry Gentle Remineralising Toner has "A superior, soft-foam cleanser that tones and replenishes the skin."

This part has me puzzled, what is it's exact purpose?

It's a nice enough product to use although I'm not partial to the scent. That's just me though, generally speaking I prefer un-scented products.

The colour though - just no. It's a puzzling brown colour the likes of which I've never seen in skincare products before.

It leaves your skin feeling very refreshed, I will say that. I haven't been using it for long enough to have a fixed opinion as to whether it works or not but short term use indicates a promising response. I am surprised at the price though

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.

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.

This is a beautiful cleanser, love the way my skin feels after, clean but not stripped. The brown colour is a little weird at first, but the Snowberry rep described as caramel when I had a lovely Snowberry facial - so now I just think of it as being a sweet treat for my face.

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.

This inspired something I rarely do.... a post on the brands FB page raving about this product.

I'm another who can't work out why this isn't called what it is - a gentle, balancing, gorgeous cleansing gel.

I picked this up in the 2015 Beautiful Christmas Advent Calendar in a 30 ml size, which disappointingly only lasted a few weeks. For $55 I would have expected it to last longer, but it really just doesn't last long. That's it's one flaw though.

The packaging is gorgeous, and I love the pump dispenser. The product is a soft caramelly shade, and a gel like formula. It managed to clean and balance my face perfectly without lathering, stripping, drying, irritating, breaking out or being harsh in any way, shape or form. It's almost like taking a gel made of your skin, and using it to replace any flaws in what's on your face. Somehow, it just magically renders your facial skin at its best.

There is a soft, pleasant scent that doesn't linger, and my sin was left soft, clean, perfectly balanced, and looking amazing.

I just can't justify $55 every few weeks to achieve that, unfortunately. I would LOVE to be able to use this religiously!

I am a new convert to the Snowberry brand and I'm already impressed. I was lucky enough to receive a generous sized sample of this cleanser/toner. The name I feel is confusing, but in a nutshell it's a 2 in 1 cleanser/toner. It smells refreshing and feels soft on your face. It foams up a little when mixed with water and rinses off leaving no residue. I will be buying a full size of this cleanser.

So this says it is a toner... but really it is a cleanser. I don't get the name, say what you are! But once you realise what this actually is you are in for a treat.

I like the packaging quite a lot. It has a clear plastic container with a tightly fitting lid. It comes with a pump and as you pump it out you can see how much is left in the container as the product itself is brown. I think that each pump doesn't actually give that much product so I always end up using more (probably more than I should).

The product itself is brown gel, and smells quite natural but a bit like Morrocan hair oil. As you rub it in to your skin it has a great creamy feel. I then add a bit of water and rub it in more and it slightly foams. It removes makeup well although it isn't particularly great with eye makeup but that is nothing that a swipe of Micellar water can't fix. The thing that I like most about this product is that it leaves my skin feeling nice and clean but not at all dry. I haven't had any problems with my skin using this, and I think that my skin has enjoyed it with my skin clearing slightly.

I am going through this product at an extremely fast pace of knots and it won't be long until it is in my empties for the month. When I finish it I don't think I'll be repurchasing though as I have a few cleansers to use up and have a plan for my skincare after using those.

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)
