When you speak of Palmer’s, naturally the products that come to mind would be their body lotions, stretch marks cream, etc. I’m not a fan of cocoa butter, so I don’t use Palmer’s cocoa butter range (although I have to say, their olive butter range is pretty fab).
Imagine my surprise when I found out about Palmer’s new daily face care range at Priceline. Apparently, Australia is the first international market to have access to this new product launch.
I was curious, so I flipped the cap of their facial cleanser to give it a bit of a sniff. Hey, it did not stink! (I’m not a fan of cocoa butter) So I’ve decided to give it, and the scrub, a go (review of the scrub coming up tomorrow).
Description:
This creamy cleanser foams lightly to remove dirt, oil and impurities without over-drying. Milk proteins and antioxidants brighten and hydrate, leaving skin soft, fresh and glowing. Use morning and evening to jump start your skincare routine.
First impression of the cleanser? It comes in cream-form, but boy, it’s mighty thick. I had to squeeze the tube really hard just to get the cleanser out. In fact, I’ve been squeezing the darn thing so hard, that I popped the bottom (or is it the top?) of the tube 
As the cream was really thick, I had an awful feeling that it would be quite harsh and stripping. I’m very glad to be proven otherwise. As thick as it was, when it went on my skin, it applied ever-so-smoothly, and there wasn’t a squeaky feel to it. My skin felt refreshed, and best of all, not tight and dry after cleansing.
The cleanser does have a hint of cocoa butter fragrance, but it’s fairly mild, so it wasn’t revolting at all.
Palmer’s Gentle Daily Cleanser is suitable for all skin types, especially more for those with dehydrated skin. It costs AU$10, and is available at selected supermarkets and pharmacies.
What I like about it: Does not leave the skin feeling tight, cleanses skin well.
What I do not like about it: Very thick cream, makes it rather difficult to squeeze out of the tube.

Looks like a good one to try! My skin’s no longer dry so I think I can get away with a lot more products now! Cheap too!
I believe this brand is known for the pregnant women! That’s the product I’ve seen down here, I told myself I will purchase this once I get pregnant! haha and there you go telling me they have other stuffs for non pregnant women like I am, creamy…? talk about lemming!
thanks for this
Syen’s going to flip when she sees this. FLIP.
When I saw the title of your blog today, I thought it was just a lotion review but when I saw cleanser I thought NO WAY!!!! Palmer’s – Cleanser? No wayyyyyy but heck I love Palmer’s, always have. That lotion helped me when my skin was so dry back in the UK. I have got to try that cleanser and soon! I know for my combination skin its good to use gel cleanser but Ive been using both types – milk cleanser and gel cleanser to give it a good deep cleansing wash. I hope it’ll come out this way soon if not I’ll have to be patient and wait till April when I go there.Though my skin is combinated but I can see its dehydrated too *sigh* Now I cant wait to read your review of the scrub!
I just used these palmers cocoa face products and they are very soothing to my sensative skin that has been a little irritated lately. Its creamy, and lovely clinical gentle fragrance. love the products, just interested to know if it has a toner??? great stuff!!!!:)
I just purchased the face cream wash and lotion with sunscreen. After using it just once I loved it. I have very dry skin, it doesnt leave your face feeling dry which was a major problem for me. I used to use the cocoa butter when I was a child and found that I had a greasy face and that was not good for me when I need to put on my makeup. But Im happy that a face cream is not thick.
please update more this product ….thanks
Thanks for the review. I just bought this from Coles and couldn’t believe how thick it was. I was going to return it because I thought the wrong label may have been put on it during packaging! Its supposed to foam but it doesn’t really. All the same it does feel nice to use and leaves my skin super soft.
We all know that Palmer’s cocoa butter is the best product for the skin. Aside from its natural content, it reveals the natural beauty within us, its because a lot of benefits that this product may offer to our skin. This would be the number 1 effective natural treatment for the skin nowadays.
