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.

Snowberry Gentle Cleanse & Tone Soft Foaming Cleanser
Two-in-one cleanser-toner is a sophisticated formulation that combines a soft, natural foaming action which is derived from Soap nut and Kiwifruit extract; and toning from Kumquat extract, skin rejuvenating Vitamin E, and antioxidant rich Macadamia, Andiroba and Neem seed oils. This is a gentle cleanser that cleanses and replenishes the skin leaving it feeling beautifully refreshed. Unlike many aggressive cleansers and toners, Snowberry cleansers will not damage the skin’s natural barrier. Frequently, people use cheap cleansers and toners that are characterised by harsh foaming agents that rapidly strip the skin’s natural lipids, which leads to inflammation, break-outs and premature ageing. For this reason, the Cleanser is an excellent option for all ages, including teenage skin that is subject to acne.

Reviews
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.
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 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.
Tips: Just a tip for Snowberry...maybe spell things out a little more clearly - I can see myself making the same mistakes others did if I hadn't had a personal consultation explaining and trialling it all. State and explain the obvious. We don't want to have to admit it ourselves but we appreciate the childlike explaination so we don't have to overthink or assume stuff ourselves.
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 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.
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!
Tips: try and sample it if you're worried about the cost, but I'm not sure how - perhaps ask at a counter?
I really like this product but feel the price is a bit much for such a small size cleanser. I keep this one for travel and use another cleanser for my every day. I love that it's NZ made and has natural products but prefer to save my money to spend on serums and moisturisers than on a cleanser.
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.
Tips: Remove makeup before hand with a Micellar Water & a Cotton pad.
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.
