I caved and bought Beenigma skin care cream after seeing several older you-tubers give it raves. Should have known better! I've been using it for a week. Guess what? I feel no difference at all between it and my Pond's dry skin cream. Has anyone here tried it? Any comments?  So many seem to love it. I'll most likely give it a couple more weeks, but for the price, I feel there should be some difference, however small, in my skin.

I've never heard of it.

I stopped buying "designer" products almost a year ago.  I am happy with drugstore products that are often suggested.  Feel much better about not throwing my retirement money down the drain.  At age 67, it is what it is.

@nana59, I did the same thing. So annoyed with myself for allowing myself to be talked into another face cream! Oh well, it's a good reminder that no topical is going to make a difference. Thank you for your reply!

I have to smile having been in a cosmetic company  for years  the Number one competitor was Ponds cleansing cream......Then Ponds dry skin cream.....Our grandmothers used the product and had beautiful skin.....In an office one day this beautiful lady with her daughter were sitting close to me and I noticed her Mom's beautiful skin and I ask her what she used for skin care and she laughed and said mother is 80yrs old and wouldn't use any thing in this world but Ponds....Ive offered her the very best and she turns her nose up....so guess what Im a Ponds girl now myself.......

At some where between 99 and 115 dollars per jar, it better work, in fact, it better do the laundry and the dishes and cook dinner.

I do not buy into any hype

Hi Nana.. Which ponds do you use? Switching from Cetaphil not hydrating enough for my extremely dry skin. Thank you.

I don't use a moisturizer......cleanse with Dove bar soap......just bare minimum these days....have heard CeraVe (sp) gets good reviews...

I do use Botox and fillers. No one can tell, except my daughter and myself. I am especially annoyed with myself because I know my beloved drugstore brands work perfectly well.

If you want to try some of the higher end products just to see if they work, try going to Marshalls or TJ Max. They often have these high price products for practically nothing-many not above $10. I wanted to try the Beenigma bee cream, but decided it was way over my budget. I found another brand of bee venom at TJ Max for $5.99 And I really like it!  And can afford it!
