Are you using Ponds products for your skin care?

Lindsays Grandma — Wed, 01 Apr 2015 03:05:15 GMT

I am considering giving up all the expensive moisturizers I've been using and switching to Ponds products. From what I have been seeing they now have some excellent creams and lotions but would like some input from those of you who are using them. I have always been lucky enough to have problem free skin and have taken good care of it for many years. I used Borba products for a long time and loved them but unfortunately he discontinued most of his line of skin care and his prices were very affordable. I prefer an exfoliating cleanser but it isn't a must and a day and night moisturizer. Looking forward to hearing from those of you who use Ponds.

Good luck with your search. May I suggest you also consider Olay? Their regenerist line is very good also

I don't use drug store brands of skin care, but I do remember my mother used Pond's cold cream to take her make up off and she used Oil of Olay to moisturize. My mother had the most beautiful skin, so the drug store brands worked for her.

I received a deluxe size sample of Pond's Rejuveness cream for night use and I am really impressed with it. It feels like a more expensive cream and absorbs quickly without pilling. I may purchase it in the full sized jar. I also really like their cleansing wipes. They feel very substantial and do a good job of removing my eye makeup with no stinging or blurred vision. HTH

I really like Ponds Wet Cleansing Towelettes, they're exfoliating and remove makeup well.

I've given up on expensive cleansers and now use Ponds cold cream. Have used it a couple years now and my skin is doing great. I travel with the towelettes. I do use Serious Skincare and PTR peel pads. Haven't tried any Ponds skincare.

I have been using both Ponds cold cream most nights to remove makeup and Rejuvenesse as a moisturizer for about six weeks with very good results!

My Mom used Ponds Cold cream as as a night cream and she had gorgeous skin into her seventies.

I'm using the Ponds Rejuveness also. Started about a month ago,I like it. I've never had a problem with my skin. Don't think any creme holds back time. Stay out of sun and keep hydrated is about all one can do short of the knife. No,not for me. Hope you find something you like.

Ponds Cold Cream has been around for decades. Hollywood starlets used it to remove their makeup, so I would be open to trying their other products, too.

The only Pond's product I use is their cream cleanser (it's in a jar similar to the cold cream). I've used it for about 10 years now and just love it. It has a very mild cucumber scent and does a great job of removing makeup while not being greasy.

I use Pond's cream cleanser to take off makeup. Then I cleanse with my facial cleanser as the Pond's leaves an oily trace on my face. Good product line.

I am going to sing the chorus here with the others regarding Pond's Cold Cream make-up remover...I have used it for a couple of years now. It is fabulous, works and reasonably priced. Never returning to over priced products, ever!

I only use the Pond's Cucumber Cleanser as well. I am 48 yo with combo/acne prone skin. I gently rub it all around on dry skin at night... then add some water and massage a little more. Then take a nice warm washcloth and wipe it off. My skin feels clean with mild exfoliation by using a washcloth. It does not feel stripped. I break out with acne on my cheeks if I use a cleanser that is too strong and drying. I think that this pond's product keeps my skin barrier healthy. I have never used the original ponds cold cream cleanser. I can't stand the smell of that product. Pond's products can be so heavily fragranced.

The pond's rejuveness cream contains lactic acid which exfoliates the skin and this cream has the right Ph for exfoliation. Sounds like a nice product. I can't use Glycolic acid because it burns my skin. So I think lactic acid might be a nice alternative. But, how is the fragrance? Can you describe the fragrance?

It's funny how we try the rest and go back to the tried and true that our moms and grandmothers used. I had an aunt who used Merle Norman pink cream (must have been like a cold cream) and she had gorgeous skin.

As soon as I used up my stash I'm going to go back !

I would be happy to use it on 2 conditions, they stop using mineral oil and DMDM Hydantoin, 2 no no's for me.

I would like to use Ponds, but every product I have checked out has fragrance and I cannot use fragranced products. It is not the smell that bothers me; it is the breakouts they cause.

I was told by one manufacturer that women will not buy skin care products that don't smell good. Too bad for those of us who need fragrance-free products.

Yup, I agree with montana. Ponds products are all highly fragranced. Many people, myself included, have skin that becomes really irritated from fragrance. I personally have found Ponds products to be over the top when it comes to fragrance, also. I realize that scent is a personal and subjective thing, but my nose can't stand the intense perfumes Ponds chooses to use.

I like the fragrance of Pond's Rejuveness, and the scent dissipates almost immediately.
