Pros:

-cleans everything off
-moisturizes
-smells great (like roses)

Cons:

-none

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!

So cheap yet so fancy
I love this. As soon as i opened it I got a waft of nostalgia in my nostrils from when i was little and tried on my granny's thick face cream that smelled identical to this.. However this has a much better use. Its a cleanser, super makeup/oil remover and moisturiser all in one. And when i finally wash it off with a warm wet towel, it makes my pores look tiny! ...So i guess its a toner too! I've Experienced No breakouts or burning sensation from it either. What can i say, its a good product ðŸ'

Pros:

- really moisturizing!
- cleans skin well
- takes off makeup easily
- helping my acne so much

Cons:

- none so far!

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.

Perfect compliment to harsh topical medicine!
I had been using a regular face wash and a prescription topical acne medicine (Erythromycin and Benxoyl Peroxide Topical gel - highly recommend and will write a review over there too - ask your doctor for the refrigerated topical medicine, there's only one - and bonus, it's only $4 for the generic one) successfully until winter hit. The gel was beginning to dry my face out even more than usual. Lotion wasn't helping at all. I got some Ponds through a sample service I subscribe to and it has converted me for life. It took about a week to get used to the difference between using cold cream and using face wash (and the initial feeling of it being too oily to actually be effective), but now I'll never go back. It is the perfect compliment to the really strong prescription strength topical gels that dry your skin out. It provides the hydration and non-comedogenic cleansing all in one to literally prime your face for prescription strength topical acne medicine. This combination has given me the best results I've ever had. (Over the years, I've tried anti-acne vitamins, lemonade drinks, every over the counter topical cream/wash, face masks, spot treatments, proactiv, cleansing pads etc.) Now I apply this, leave it on while I do other nightly tasks for a few minutes. After rinsing with a warm wash cloth, I apply the topical medicine. The medicine worked to clear my skin up a lot, but this has helped it clear up completely and polish the look on my face and prevent the excessive dryness and flakiness that the medicine causes. My skin hasn't looked or felt this amazing in at least 10 years. It no longer looks like I'm using a harsh acne treatment on my skin. I can skip foundation/powder makeup all together and not feel self conscious at all.

Pros:

Moisturizes
Cleared acne, blemishes

Cons:

Oily
Container isn't very sanitary

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.

Pros:

Creamy/smooth & feels good putting it on
Nice smell
Very cheap/affordable
Lasts a long time
Great for taking off makeup

Cons:

Leaves residue
Can create new breakouts
Not a lasting solution
Not great as a moisturizer.

I started using Ponds cold cream after reading reviews on a different site mentioning that someone's grandmother had used it as a night time moisturizer and her skin looked fabulous at age 80. People were also saying it worked to moisturize and get rid of acne. I put this on before bed every night and for the first month or so, all of my acne was gone... and i mean ALL of it. Cystic acne, blackheads, whiteheads & regular pimples. For the first couple weeks, my skin was unreal (I've had moderate acne ever since I was 13.) After a few weeks, pimples started showing up all over my face, worse than before. I still use this cream as a moisturizing eye makeup remover, but I always wash it off. My face is just too oily to use it as anything more.

Incredible
Even though I was skeptical about putting something so greasy on my already oily skin, I heard good things and decided to go through with using it. My skin used to be flaky (yet somehow still oily) from the products I was using because I wasn't using a proper moisturizer. This cold cream takes care of that on top of cleansing, so now I can use my benzoyl peroxide without feeling like I'm destroying my skin. Within the first week, my cystic acne turned to whiteheads and popped on their own and I haven't had new pimples develop even though I'm still waiting on the old ones to heal. I still add in another oil-free cleanser to cut grease and BP for spot treatment. Hopefully this works out in the end, but it hasn't let me down yet.
