Pond's : Cold Cream Cleanser

I am a sufferer of acne forever it seems. I am now 40.You name the topical cream, ointment,emoillent,treatment,wash,prescription I have done it all.Have spent thousands on trying to find something to make me look human again.Well, being a nurse I deal with the elderly, I noticed a trend.All my patients who had beautiul complexions,all used the same product for years-Ponds ! So, I went and purchased some,and I have to say,its like I went away to a spa,and had a treatment and spent thousands,my face is clear,supple,and I am not embarrased not towear makeup,in just a few days!UNBELIEVABLE

I had very dry knees, elbows, and hands, but after less than a week of using it, I had very smooth skin. Also, I noticed that when I used it for acne treatment, my acne was cleared in a couple of days. I paid $7.99 for the 9.5 ounce jar but I saw that the 3.5 ounce container was $4.99.

This product is amazing for taking makeup off! I use it everyday, even when I don't wear makeup, because it feels so refreshing. It didn't make me break-out, however it isn't an acne cure. I think it did help somewhat, but it won't get rid of it. I did find it weird to put something so thick on my face, but after I got used to it, I loved it! It also lasts really long to. I have been using one container for the last 6 months, and I'm still not done with it! I probably have another month or two left. Overall, I would definitely buy this again because it takes care of so many things at once. I even went through a week using this in replacement of my moisturizer!

This product is very great overall, but I would not recommend using this everyday if you have really oily skin. It's a great emergency product to have should your face get dry for any reason. It removes makeup really well.

I have have light to moderate acne for a while now. It seemed like it was getting worse recently, I was breaking out frequently, my skin tone was uneven, and I was feeling uncomfortable. I was trying coconut oil for a couple weeks before trying this stuff. I desperately wanted coconut oil to work due to how natural and pure it is without any chemical ingredients. Unfortunately, it didn't really. I was really nervous about trying this stuff due to the unnatural ingredients in it, the consistency (which is very thick), etc. I went for it one night, and I actually quite liked it. I have not broken out badly since starting it about a week ago, my skin has cleared significantly and evened out in tone, I went out today without any make up for the first time in a few weeks. My routine involved washing my face with this and hot water once in the morning and once at night, followed by a watered down raw apple cider vinegar facial toner (which I think has been greatly improving my skin tone and reducing break outs as well). It's been nice. I don't even mind the greasy feeling, which definitely exists, but goes away after rinsing off and drying. I even enjoy the mild scent, and I am generally quite scent sensitive. So far so good.

I've been using this for about a month, and it has made such a difference in my skin. It makes my topical acne prescriptions much more tolerable by keeping me good and moisturized. It does feel a bit greasy going on, but I like to put it on before showering in the morning, and then after my shower, I just wipe the remaining off with my towel. Then right from there I put on my makeup. Nothing else is really needed. At night, I use it as a makeup remover, but then when I wash it off, a reapply a little more to go to bed with. By morning, it is completely absorbed and my skin feels incredible. My husband would wake up and touch my face for the first couple of weeks because he was so amazed. And rest easy, because it has NO acne-causing ingredients.

I've suffered from rather light acne for about four years, and recently I started breaking out a lot more. I had tried using many products but none seemed to do anything except dry out my skin. My skin was dry, flaky, and I had acne too. To top it off, I have some mild eczema on my cheeks, so I couldn't do anything to help the dryness/eczema without aggravating the acne. Two weeks ago I started using Ponds because my mom said that my pediatrician had recommended it a while back. At first I wasn't really sure about the product because it's oil based, so I first used it in the shower and washed it off after putting some on. But I then learned to read (lol) and applied it after my shower, leaving it on overnight. Now my skin has improved substantially; it's pretty much clear except for a little bit of eczema. I'm not exactly sure if it was Ponds that did it though because I also changed my diet a bit. But I'm pretty sure that it did help in some ways. Overall, try it out! It might work for your skin.

BUY IT! I can't recommend this product enough...such a simple solution.

I know that you probably will not take review coming from someone who has been using this for just a week, but i had to review it because it is amazing. I have gone through so many acne treatments, from home remedies to store bought kits and none of them took care of the problem. If only I knew about this earlier, i wouldn't have wasted so much money!!! This product takes getting used to, since some may be uncomfortable with the greasy feel, but it works well. After using it for only a week, my acne is almost gone! My skin is soft, my scars are disappearing. It's like magic. Just put a blob on your face, massage it around, wait 10-15 minutes, then wipe off with a damp washcloth. you don't even need to moisturize afterwards! I think I'm going to keep this baby.

It may work for some people but I just don't like it. Doesn't absorb well at all, stays all of the surface, leaving oily but not moisturized skin.
